Internet Explorer makes life miserable

I’ve been tweaking King Gary’s layout for the last few days bit by bit, and it’s looking better every time, even though a lot of it may not be obviously noticeable. I use Firefox on Mac OS X, so I also don’t have Internet Explorer on it. Today, I visited my website in IE, and guess what? It looked horrific. So, I had to fiddle around with it for a few hours before finally resulting to a workaround just for IE (aw, isn’t it special?) and so it looks closely to how it’s supposed to look, as it does in Firefox.

Anyways, what’s the lesson of the day today, boys and girls? DON’T use Internet Explorer. It eats babies.

    Firefox sometimes runs into errors though, so IE sometimes is much better than FF. Especially when playing online games. FF is crap for that.

    Then the websites you use are crap, not Firefox. You can easily modify Firefox to work with those websites.

    you should put a pic of what the site looks like in ff, then put a link under it to the ff download site. you shouldn’t have to trick a site into working for a specific browser.

    leemur,

    My site looks great in both Firefox and IE now. I made this post quite a while ago and things have changed. I don’t use any special workarounds for IE :)
