Works in Firefox, But Not in IE? (or vice versa) WTF!!!!

During my stint at McFarlane Toys and through many other consulting gigs I’ve had in my years I’m always running into CSS and style in web applications.

If you’re a Windows developer be thankful because everything in WinForms pretty much renders virtually the same on the client. It’s not that way in the web world.

 

Here’s what I think of styling in the web world: “Welcome to the land of a 1000 faces, where the same face can have 10 different appearances.“

 

Seriously, CSS is a huge P.I.T.A. and getting it right on IE, FireFox, Opera, Safari, etc is a hair losing experience.

So, I’m sharing this resource as one of my great saviors of CSS wisdom: The CSS Creator Forum

I’ve had many issues and they’ve all been solved simply by searching this forum.

I’ve never once even had to post a problem as I’ve been able to find the answer here.

Enjoy.
