I HATE INTERNET EXPLORER!!!

[swestrup]

I've spent the last (*checks clock*) SEVENTEEN hours trying to get IE to let me create a fairly simple layout, in CSS. Its been fighting me all the way. There are a dozen ways to do it in Firefox, but every method I've devised or managed to google for runs into a different IE bug.

BLEAH!!!

(The inherent ultra-suckyness of CSS w.r.t. vertical positioning has not helped things either.)

Have you got a proper doctype specified? I've heard that's the way to avoid the Horrors Of Quirks Mode.

Alas, the site design requires lots of position:fixed divs and IE's support for that is so broken that the only known workarounds are in quirks mode, so I'm having to deliberately invoke it, and then clean up the drool that results.

*sigh*

Progress is (slowly) being made. I would have been done hours ago, but I'm not just making a web-page, but a skin, and that turns out to be a heck of a lot harder. (It has to look good over a range of config parameters, not just for a carefully chosen set of values.)
