They could try cleaning up the html on their site, which isn't valid. The best
way I've found to do this is to use the World Wide Web Consortium validator
at http://validator.w3.org. If you do that with their page, you'll see a
vast slew of errors. The web is awash with broken html/xhtml, much of it
produced by Front Page, I suspect. See if the folks at that site are prepared
to do the decent thing and produce standards compliant pages, if not, tell
them that's the reason you're stopping using the site. A quick glance at the
site in the version of Internet Explorer the webmaster happens to have on his
machine is often all the checking the code gets, but it's important to
conform to the standards for interoperability, and particularly to provide
consistent results for users with disabilities, visual impairments and so on.
