View Full Version : IE makes my job hard

I'm working on a site layout, and it's a somewhat complex one when it comes to CSS, I don't want images doing the work to look good because it slows down the load speed.

So, it works pretty damn well, it resizes, works on all browsers (right now), except IE. How many people use IE? Probably at least 80% of all computer users.

So, the problem? It leaves a 1pixel spacer that ISN'T specified anywhere, doesn't show up in Opera, Mozilla, Firefox etc. but for some reason it's there in IE. Is it so damn hard to make an element do as it's supposed to in the browser engine?

Micro$oft better impress me with IE7 because if they don't I'm going to send them millions of emails, phone calls & written letters (I'm not really but that would get their attention) to make a new browser.

I'm not asking how to fix this problem, I'll figure it out myself. Thanks for reading.

I did ask for help with my problem, oddly enough I had the opposite happen. IE not working showed me an error in my code, where something wasn't doing what I intended. Those other browsers displayed it fine, and I would have missed a subtle point.

My code was valid and correct, had to make the position -1 to remove the 1 pixel border. Nevermind IE better shape up in version 7.

My code was valid and correct as well, my comprehension, however, was not. I removed a class="" altogether, but it took a while to realize I just didn't need it, it was overriding the desired style.
