Damn you to Hell, Microsoft
To the very bowels of Stygian Furnaces Unknown to Mortal Man!
TO HELL, HELL, HELLLLL!!!1!!!1!!
For those of you who are not web-coders, a bit of highly compressed history is in order: It was not uncommon, in the past, for browsers to display html, css and other code in incompatibly different ways, but largely thanks to the folks over at The Web Standards Project those days are mostly over. Mozilla's Firefox, Opera, and other major browsers generally follow the standards set by the W3C, for both html, and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) implementation. However, Microsoft is determined to defecate in the collective cornflakes of web developers everywhere, by apparently refusing to comply with the standards set by the primary governing body over internet coding standards.
Internet Explorer (henceforth referred to as that insufferable piece of shit) requires separate CSS hacks for every version since IE5, much more so today than any major contemporary browser.
To their credit, MS IE4 really was far superior to Netscape4 when it came to standards compliance, but since that time, they have trodden the path of least compliance, it seems, all the while giving lip service to their newfound dedication to standards, displaying a lack of compassion and integrity simultaneously.
I am going to write more on this later, but for now, I have to fix my fucking layout by writing AN ENTIRE SEPARATE STYLE SHEET JUST FOR That insufferable piece of shit!
In the meantime, I certainly encourage you to contact microsoft and ask them questions about any of the bugs found at Mr. Gérard Talbot's site, and why their browser, with all the resources ($) at their disposal, has so many bugs.
