Seriously … Internet Explorer just needs to go away or clean up its pathetic act. The latest web programming issue I encountered nearly threw me over the edge. I wanted to do some cool lightboxing on the new site, and of course Safari and Firefox handle all the javascript wonderfully! And then there is IE … always a completely different story. The grey background would not cover all of my divs on the screen, and was doing all kinds of funky things. Why should I have to take out the cool lightboxing and make my Safari/Firefox users suffer? Well, I won’t take it out, I’ll just case it out for different behavior in IE. It just annoys me that two things on my site are now special cased for IE. It is to be expected I suppose, as the code base and spiffy new features increase!
By the way, I am using Craig Ambrose’s super cool inline Redbox Plugin. Love it … but hate IE … have I mentioned that?! Please … if you are reading this entry using Internet Explorer (especially < 7.0) right now, go directly to the Firefox website and down load a new browser here! It will change your world … trust me!
