The embedding of ActiveX into Internet Explorer can add functionality to the browser, however this can also lead to infection with computer viruses, trojans and spyware infections.

CSS2 ! Frames ! Java ! JavaScript ! XSLT ! XHTML ! MathML ! XForms ! RSS ! Atom | Note (5): CSS2, a candidate W3C recommendation, is the most widely supported version of CSS. Note (6): XHTML is based on HTML but is an application of XML, which means that XHTML must be stricter than equivalent HTML code. XHTML is meant to be read by an XML parser but for backward compatibility reasons can also be parsed as HTML; this table only notes the browsers that are able to parse XHTML as XML. Note (7): Internet Explorer 6 supports most static properties of CSS2 but is known to have a significantly higher number of bugs than other browsers. The most notable of these is the box model bug, which affects all versions of Internet Explorer for Windows prior to IE6 and remains the default box model in IE6. Internet Explorer 6 lacks support for dynamic content, attribute selectors, or hover, technologies supported by all other CSS 2 browsers. Note (8): XForms is supported experimentally in nightly browsers dated after January 28 2005 http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/. Requires installation of an extension. Note (9): Atom feed support was added in Opera 8.0 Beta 2. Note (10): To be implemented in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/safari.html.

Internet Explorer for Macintosh supports PNGs with alpha transparency. Note (18): Support of MNG/JNG was dropped since June 6 2003 http://www.mozilla.org/status/2003-06-06.html http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=12633. Note (19): SVG is supported experimentally in SVG-enabled Mozilla/Firefox (not enabled in official builds) http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/. Modules that are supported, in progress, or not supported http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/status.html. Note (20): SVG Support is based on the SVG 1.1 Tiny profile, with extensions.
