Why can't Internet Explorer just behave?

CSS Woes :(

Design clean sites then spend a few hours trying to figure out how to fix the bugs for IE.

RAAH! *pulls out some more hair*

I think this is miscategorized, in Foo no less. Curious . . . This should be in HTML and Browsers.

[Christopher C]

hmm, I didn't think it deserved a legitimate thread. Just felt like doing some "virtual yelling" in a tabbed window.

Perhaps I should have titled it something like:

"How Internet Explorer can lead to premature baldness (a new independent study)".

:P

And sometimes some of us have to design pretty for NN4.x too.

On the one hand the %$#@! that don't/won't/can't upgrade their browsers and the %$#@! that stop developing/maintaining their browsers are a %$#@! pain.

On the other hand the difficulties justify my charges.

If just anyone could do it I might actually have to find a job ... <shudder> ... commute ... <sob> ... work well with others ... <catatonic withdrawal> ...

Even when life is one big bowl of cherries the pits are still with us.

hehe now that's what I'm talking about :P I have the luxury of doing the design for my own sites only so I don't worry about visitors driving browsers that use stone tires and foot propulsion.

@ 92% usage of IE unfortunately the best I can do is curse and complain.

Maybe I should start doing browser based discounts. 5% off for checking out using mozilla & 7% for using safari. :P

I think we can stop now testing for IE. Nobody with clear mind uses IE anymore. All people use Firefox, Mozilla or Opera nowadays.

Oh how I wish it were true....

5% off for checking out using mozilla

Haha- That's not a bad idea. Don't know about 5% though. Maybe $5.

5% off for checking out using mozilla

If E-Bay or Amazon did that, Moz would have a tough time keeping their servers up under the load, and IE would be stampeded off the net....

Hmmmm....

Anyone got a petition I can sign?

[grelmar]

Nevermind, went and created one:

[petitiononline.com...]

[Teknorat]

You did your karma no harm at all there grelmar ...
Now ..what do you want in your anchor text for links?..I presume we are all invited to link to this endeavour ..

edited by self ..I really did think that you had registered "petitononline" ...( "blonde moment" )...Frodo has failed ...and I'm somewhat dazed ..

[grelmar]

heheh, petitiononline was an existing domain, but if you look at the URL extension for the actual petition, I managed to sneak in a bit of leet
