IE's lack of full support for DOM2 functions, as well its inability to recognize well-formed XHTML as XML (do its inability to recognize doctype declarations), makes doing damn near anything interesting with JavaScript and incredibly painful process.
I can write code in a matter of minutes that works beautifully in Mozilla-based browsers and even in Opera, and then spend the next several hours punching the code in the face to make it work with IE (and still maintain compatability with the other browsers it was already working in).
This is why I always actively avoided ever doing anything with JavaScript.
Now I have some sort of TPS report to do.
