I don't see that makes any difference. You will generally find
programming in Firefox to be much better than in IE, you will quickly
learn where the differences are and learn to avoid them.

Of course you need to test frequently and thoroughly in IE as you go.

There is the MS Script Editor that comes with Microsoft Office 2002 (and
newer I think), but that may be too high a price to pay and for
JavaScript and HTML it is awful

I just played with it again and it told me that 'title' is not a valid
attribute of an A element, it uses Microsoft Windows file paths with
backslashes, suggests and uses depreciated attributes, etc. I've had
enough.

I must say it looks a million dollars, but because of its misleading
advice, lack of decent support for web technologies and overly fussy UI,
it's worse than using a plain text editor.
