Words Of Wisdom on 02 November 2007
| rocketpig said: Don't get me started on IE's CSS multiple div-within-div quirkiness... It's almost reduced me to tears on more than one occasion. The self-padding thing never gets old, either. Love it. Just love it. Few things drive designers to drink more than coding for six hours straight, popping the code into FF and seeing it display correctly and then popping it into IE and watching the entire design blow itself to shit. One job ended up costing me nearly a grand because IE absolutely refused to cooperate with my CSS. I ended up having to bit the bullet and re-create an entirely separate CSS file (which shared very little with the original) just for IE6. Then I had to tweak that for IE7 and create another CSS file. I was furious. |
And of course, while they're drinking they begin doing strange things to their code like flattening it all to the left, double spacing with a blank line in between everything, removing all comments, and putting in strange things like <div style="display: block;" ...
And you know your day just got worse when one of the first lines in the file is '<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word ...'
Anyway, we're derailing this poor thread. We should probably stop doing that. ^_^
