XYplorer to use custom HTML handlers

-Considering Europe have banned IE from default installations;
-considering that XY scripting may NOT work on X or Y (sorry, can't refuse doing that!) flavors but CAN have a msg box/code check:

...why not let users decide which (safer, portable, like me!) navigator to use along with XY?

From another (Disk Manager, a great ongoing project that shows the power of XY scripting on top of HTML) thread:
...It won't work in Firefox because its an IE specific code and I used it because XY uses IE in its HTML. But you should have seen the gradients in IE unless yours is older than IE 5.5.
I was a great fan of Opera 'til the waves changed in user's favor when Firefox expanded its paths through the means of extensions - same reason why I am choosing XYplorer as my default explorer replacement (being scripting the equivalent). I still use Opera one day or another for specific reasons, or even prior Firefox/Mozilla incarnations.

Not that XY scripters should make their mini apps widely compatible, but at least Firefox could be allowed to use as a valid IE natural replacement for the majority of users. Also, I suggest something like Aptana as a way to check HTML code compatibilty - may turn things easier if we intend to have a wider audience, I hope.
