Ahh, the frustration of dealing with Internet Exploder Explorer. I've been working on a webpage for my in-laws' business (yes, that's right, I am a Professional Web Designer this week), and (very dumbly) I was using Firefox while mucking with the CSS and HTML to check my progress. I don't know why I do this. I know, I know that IE cannot deal with correctly rendering pages. I know that even if my HTML and CSS check out, IE is still going to puke it up, even though Firefox, Opera, and Safari all make it look the same. ARGH.
So, it's back to the drawing table for a bit... do I put in the kludges to make it look right in IE (which, against all esthetic and technological sensibility, most people still use) or do I keep my artistic integrity and refuse to design for that monstrosity of a browser?
Easy choice this time. I'm getting paid to do a webpage, and it's gotta work for the widest possible audience.
*sigh*
(I do have to admit, rants about IE aside, I am tickled pink that I'm being paid for web work. Even if it is total nepotism. Or whatever the in-law version of nepotism is.)
