Getting a form to work on more than one browser

It has been an irritation to me that it was so difficult to get a form  
that works in all browsers (particularly IE).

I think I've found a solution. Want to try it? You get a dialogue box from  
IE, but click on 'Open' and it still works (as long as you have a suitable  
plugin of course). You can also switch off the dialogue box 'for this type  
of file'.

The trick? Add "?.html" at the end of the URL. It seems to fool IE into  
sniffing despite the application/xhtml+xml media type.

(This will work for any document served as application/xhtml+xml by the  
way).
