Everytime your use IE a webdeveloper dies
17.11.2005
Seriously! Internet Explorer sucks, my life will be easier if this browser wasn't the default one in windows. In the case you're wondering.. why? Well, just a very easy example.. If you define a box in a website with 200px of width, and 20px of margin, Firefox, Safari, Opera, ... will show the box with the same size, Internet Explorer, won't! So, to fix that you have to do SHITY fixes that make your website code to be dirty and can take extra problems in other browsers. Luckily, that'something that is slowly changing, a 60% of the users that visit this site does use firefox now, one year ago was just a 5%. So, please, Kill Bill's browser now, or better destroy it!.. if you don't like violence, just switch to firefox. Inspired by sole's.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that IE should be catapulted into the sun, the amount of dirt required to fix the box model is not *that* high. I'd worry more about inherent rendering bugs and the png support that has been hilariously lacking ;)

I agree, is not really high, but after checking what they are doing with IE7, the only solution is just try eliminate it.
