Fucking Internet Explorer Bullshit

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005 | Uncategorized

Ya know, I don’t force people to upgrade to firefox, I mean this website looks flawless in both browsers. However it loads kind of slow, it is bloated with tons of tables and most pages I have to use “quirks mode” (aka: the anti-standard), just to get it to work.

Now I go and start designing a new website, and get the design to be exactly how I want it to look, work etc… and then I open it in Internet Explorer to find that it’s TOTALLY different and completly worthless, so now I am kind of pissed.

This was a tableless design that I created, it was able to comply to super hard-core standards like XHTML, CSS2, etc…., it was all made with absolute positioning, while ALSO being able to resize, with the page and keep perfect percentages, it was able to hold 100% height with no scrollbar, etc… it was PERFECT. All I would of had to do was add an iframe to the big blue center section that was the same size, make some things transparent, and insert my content….

But NOOOOOOOOO, IE had to go and NOT comply with the standards, it wants me to have to “estimate” how much of a percentage to have to stretch things, it wants non-exact positioning and basically just wants to make me have to use tables for the whole damn thing….

Bah, so I was going to get this part done tonight, and insert the content tomorrow, but now I am angry and don’t want to work on it anymore.

If you haven’t switched to Firefox yet, below is just one of the many reasons why you should:
