IE is the worst browser in the world!

[Peegee]

I take back every nice thing I've ever said about it (that it can change the scrollbars). This is annoying to no end!

First it didn't display the table as 600 pixels. So I fix that by putting width:600px in the css section for table tags. Now it won't center the table!

I have margin-left: auto and margin:right: auto but IE doesn't recognise 'auto' as anything important so it ignores it. So I figure to make the entire table tag enclosed in a div tag with text-align:center. Simple enough right? Wrong. IE doesn't recognise that either.

And now for some reason my pictures won't load. I have a CSS style to do this:

#rayBackGroundEM {
background: #C85948 url("../images/Spit_EM.jpg");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:right top;
:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou: relative;
}

which I learned (here). It's really cool and allows me to have inline text all over the place just as long as I tell the browser what square/rectangular blocks I want as "sandbags".

But noooo IE doesn't wanna load that either.

You missed a comma:

background: #C85948, url("../images/Spit_EM.jpg");

Edit: and for it to work in IE you need to split that tag up:

background-color: #xxxxxx;
background: url();

[Peegee]

That didn't work in IE

[Baloki]

might be:
background-image: url();

Put a height and width and margin and padding specification on every single tag you use, if you're looking to make things work in IE. Also remember that IE doesn't let you use min-height. And don't use float. And don't use :bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:fixed. And don't use width: 100% because IE will often interpret that to mean 100% of the window size, not 100% of the containing block. And don't use :hover on anything other than links. And watch out if you need to use ordered or unordered lists, because IE chokes on the spacing.

A better solution is to completely ignore what pages look like in IE. I don't think it really matters.

[Peegee]

Of course it doesn't...but I get marked on how things look in IE and Netscape (well whatever...it's almost the same code if not the same as Mozilla), so I can't ignore it.

Which is what irriated me all throughout today because it was only IE that gave me problems.

Welcome to my world.

Yet I have hardly any problems making mu Mozzilla displaying CSS and XHTML work in IE so therefore your all a bunch of whiners :P

It can be a bitch sometimes I know though

[Peegee]

IE actually displays things differently. Unne said not to use float but I was using CSS sandbagging techniques to have dynamic margins for the text. I had problems because IE figured that the 'bottom' was lower than it was, and thus I had to move the image up a bit and have flat text at the bottom...

bah nm. I only use IE to get windows updates anyway, and no more html projects for the time being -_-

I use Firefox to get my Windows updates

[Peegee]

I checked it out and you can actually do that, but they don't have that 'find what you need' function at first check.

I like that function. Just checkbox what I want and yay!

[Hawkeye]

one word: firefox

[Citizen Bleys]

I just ignore what pages look like in any browser other than Lynx.

[Peegee]

stop messing around xD
