It never ceases to amaze me how Internet Explorer can break on seemingly straightforward pages.
For the past couple of days I have been playing with the site templates, getting my new layout “just so” and then I look at it in IE. Bugger. I’m now going to have to spend this evening hacking my layout - for some reason all the content is being shoved down below the sidebars, which means that there is a huge empty space below the headline.
It would be interesting to work out how much development time has been lost worldwide just trying to make things look right on the dominant browser platform on the Web. I bet if that time was turned into dollars, it would make a sizeable dent in Microsofts profit.
Oh well, at least IE7 manages to show the transparent bits on my menu properly. Now if it would only display it without that pixel gap below the menu items…
Hmm, it seems I am not the only one having problems - I suddenly noticed that bits of the page are randomly disappearing in IE7, but then reappearing if you scroll up or down. This reminds me of the old peekaboo bug in IE6 and a quick Google later reveals that this is a new IE7 bug. How lovely.
