Whenever I design a website I always design it based on HTML/CSS standards, which usually results in a site that works perfectly in Opera, FireFox, Mozilla, and Safari. Then I have to go back and implement all of these workarounds to get the site to work in IE. Things would be so much easier for everyone if Microsoft would simply follow the standards.I beg to differ, speaking as a web developer with over 10 years experience, FireFox doesn't render CSS properly, It's good a but load of cool new web standards that arent even supported (active X, vb-script, some .Net features and MSXML call backs are just the tip of the ice burg), and half the time doesn't even render properly formatted CSS2 markup properly (OW WAIT! It doesn' t support CSS2!!!! JUST CSS1! AND It dosn't display 24bit PNG images with alpha transparency properly AAAAAAAAAAAH!:cuss: ). Just getting my program to work under Mozilla was a bitch and a half, there where way to many comprises and workarounds! I spend 30 minutes getting my program running under IE, and 7 and a half hours trying to make it compatible under FireFox.
Finally I just gave up for the night. To say that FireFox, or Opera does a better job of rendering markup (via, on your website) is F-ing ridiculous. FireFox sucks at rendering anything beyond basic HTML.
