| I would, but the problem appears in IE7, too! I will try to rewrite the code differently and see if it works.. |

| No point really. Just try and find some "IF IE6/7" code and edit that. Don't compromise your site for it!

| While you're trying to make your website cross-browser compatible, this should help you a lot: CSS - Conditional comments If you have a Windows machine, or VM for that matter, I would recommend you check out IE Tester to do your cross-browser compatibility testing. Hope this helps  Chris

 | What problems are you having? Hate IE, a code to pain for, if you have images then you have to specify that you don't want a border with border="0px" or IE will see fit it wants to add one, get problems with padding too.

| Don't hate IE, hate people who haven't updated it. New IE is as friendly as the rest of them. |

It has always been bad and has had years to patch the simple errors that all other browsers seem to be able to understand, you would think more from microsoft. They are just too lazy to re-code it.Quote:

| Just to chime in and fight in IE's corner a little. IE are very good at following the W3 specifications for their browsers, so good in fact that when you're not following the specification things appear broken. I too share the hatred for IE browsers. Firefox and Chrome help out as much as possible, though would I rather have FF and Chrome fluff out my mistakes or have IE put my skills to test against the specification? I try not to hate on IE too much as they're following the rules, though it would be nice if they simply pointed out the error where I am not following the spec rather than have me trawl through the internets for the answer P.S. IETester is free, a nifty piece of software too.
