IE is depressing
It will always stay a secret to me how a browser like IE can be so incredibly buggy when it comes to css. I mean, hello? Microsoft can't just go and tell their program to read css in a completely different way than any other browser. Well, they can, unfortunately, but it makes absolutely no sense to do so. It's like one country suddenly deciding that they don't like English as the language of science and starting to publish everything in Esperanto or whatever. It'll piss everyone off, and it'll cause a lot of headaches.
The thing is, the way IE reads css doesn't even make more sense than the way Firefox or Opera read it. On the contrary. If I tell the browser that I want a box 100px wide, then I don't want it to expand the width when the text is longer than 100px. I don't want the browser starting to do stuff on its own because the Microsoft programmer thought that this is what any web-designer would want the browser to do.
I was trying to install IE 7.0 just a few minutes ago. It hurt my very soul to do so. I'm not sure whether I should be happy or pissed about the fact that it didn't work.
