IE No No
Posted on Saturday, 4 March 2006, 14:05I just looked at this site for the first time with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac®, specifically 5.2.3 (5815.1). What manure! And I don’t mean my design.
The content follows the sidebar instead of being displayed next to it. The list bullets aren’t correctly displayed. It can’t display the one-half character (½) correctly. There’s no border around images used as links (Safari doesn’t show those either). I assume that that indicates that CSS 1.0 compliance is practically nil.
Are any of you using IE for Mac? Do you see what I’m seeing?
I’m sure I can code around it, but I’d recommend switching browsers.
Does anyone using IE on Windows have the same issue? If so, which version? I can’t check it myself.
Addendum
I found the source of the Sidebar-on-Top issue: IE apparently doesn’t deal well with images that are larger than the intended container. Firefox, my browser of choice, shrinks the image to fit. Safari just lets it run over the edge.
IE still can’t do fractions.
