My website has been hanging in the final development stage for months. Who would have expected the time spent debugging could take so much longer than my first stage of visual design. No thanks to the Internet Explorer!
It is undeniable that there are still a huge percentage of windows users in the world. I am not against this group. But having IE as a proprietry browser (and majority for sometime, although it is dwindling) in windows platform does the windows users community no justice. Until the common level of compatibilty is struck in sync with the likes of Firefox, Safari and Chrome, the world’s quality time of web developers and designers will be spent towards tweaking their sites to look “nice” in IEs.
Maybe I just sucks in CSS. To say the least, I have been looking up the Internet for references lesser. To put it more self-comforting, my alignment looks alright in Firefox, Safari and Chrome, irregardless of platform! Having an extra stylesheet to cater to IE spells out the culprit! Ahemm!
Deep into 5am and I still could not figure out why IE cannot accept my centre alignment code. The launch of the website got to postpone a day or more again! Damn!
This summer I pickup a new language, for free! But I am still grasping my A, E, I, O, U when facing this alien! Stay away or be more earthlings-like!
