No, that's not what it does, and that's not what it was designed to do. 
  It was *designed* to override the check *once*, which is the problem.

Bleh!

No, it sucks.  When developing web apps, I have to detect which browser 
is running, then present one version for IE, and one for *every* *other* 
*browser* *I've* *come* *across*.

It's literally that different.  Mozilla, Netscape, SeaMonkey, FireFox, 
Chrome, Konqueror, Opera, Universe, EudoraWeb, Blazer and some others 
I've forgotten all work the same.
