Hi,
This is getting ridiculous ... bugs in IE are a constant find! It's really hard to program some damn web page with cross-browser compatibility! Damn you Microsoft!
1# I recently start using massively the png format for images. I wanted to create gradient shadows, so I had to move on from simple gif transparency to png gradient transparency.
At that point, I found and read some articles about the IE bug, that doesn't display the shadows properly ... no problem on Firefox, though. So I had to include a script that would apply a Microsoft filter (AlphaImageLoader) that would "correct" that problem. Done!
2# Every time I have to create some layout, I have to struggle with tags and tabs, so that the IE parser will display the layout correctly. It's a pain, but in the end, I get it working on IE & FF. Good!
3# Today, I found that the IE changes colors in images! Yes, that's right! I have a png that's a rectangle of only one color, #93b5ee (RGB:147/181/238), and it displays the rectangle with color #89adec (RGB:137/273/136).
This, in my opinion, is truly unaceptable! How can a browser display the image in different color?
4# A few weeks ago, I went on a search for a way of making transparencies, and found something very nice, again some filter style from Microsoft that would allow me to do the trick. Again, it's just a Microsoft's proprietary code, that most probably will only run in IE 5.5+ (I think I read it somewhere while searching for it).
5# I'm not even talking about the differences in javascript language for accessing parts of the DOM ...
So my conclusion is: IE SUCKS! It has major bugs on parsing, and if that wasn't enough, instead of correcting them, Microsoft just seems to continually add some extra functionality that only works on IE.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but for quite some years now, we all know there are some differences between browsers. Still we are in XXI century, and companies like Microsoft just don't give a damn about it, they just continue to wide the differences between them, instead of trying to set a standard.
What bugs me the most, is that there are still around 80% of people surfing the internet with IE, so we can't completly ignore the stvpid browser, and we must program some damn simple web page for almost every browser available.
Thank you for listening. It's late, and I'm getting so very tired of this browser struggle!
