I love it when die hard IE haters blame IE for everything acting as if it cant do anything, but yet when there is something FF cant do, it's causually mentioned.....
FF is known to not display all css properly as well.
Is there any single browser that can display all web elements 100% correctly?
hmmm..
Now now...I never said I was a die hard IE hater. I made that comment in jest.
The fact is though, when I develop my sites, I develop side-by-side with firefox, because 99 percent of the time, when the CSS validates (e.g., not some stupid thing on my part) the layout looks great, exactly as I had intended. Then I fire it up in Opera, looks perfect. Konqueror looks great. Have a friend fire it up in Safari...usually looks fine.
Then I open it up in IE and theres problems out the yingyang...things off by n pixels, overlap bugs, tons of crap. For that reason, I tell people to use firefox or opera, not because I hate IE...IE works fine for alot of sites, but because Firefox and Opera work great on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with the same look on all 3 platforms. IE isnt even available on linux (well, with Wine it is, but that's a different problem), and the Mac version doesn't look the same as the Windows version, even if you use IE5 on both!
You're right about no browser doing *everything* right...but I think IE is among the worst of the browsers out there for failing to do things correctly and in a standards-compliant way.
