[AccessD] The strange case of IE

Hi Drew:

And to continue stirring the proverbial pot, we are also aware that how
pretty in design and layout we do our sites is directly relational to how
much we get paid to do so.

Real functionality, behind the scenes is almost irrelevant. Smooth
transitions of slides, roll-overs, fade-in/out, drag-and-drops,
high-lighting, graphic over-lays, curved corners etc etc...can allow a
developer to charge 10 times as much as a basic functional site. 

Another law of the programming jungle; Beauty also trumps functionality. ;-)

Jim

Some of those off shoot links made me REALLY want to stir the pot!!!! ;)

<rant>
IMNSHO the number of actual web developers out there to 'self
proclaimed' developers is about equivalent to the number of IE 6 users
out there... which is probably totally coincidental.

If I can use Word, that doesn't make me an novelist.  Nor does opening
Paint make me an artist.  I can open Excel and use accounting features,
but I'm pretty sure that doesn't qualify me as an accountant.

So why in the world, does using a content engine, to place words and
pictures on a web site make you think you are now a web developer????
Hmmmmmmm???  

</rant>

;)  Unfortunately, the people that my rant apply to aren't on this list!

Hi All:

We, as web site designers, spend much of our lives working around
various IE
bugs. I am just finishing spending two days completing a client's site
and
then another day fixing the strangeness of IE.

The web sites I research for specific web site features, always have a
section at the bottom explaining how to resolve issues with IE.

Here is a link to the best grouping of IE bugs and either the methods to
resolve them or links for further information. There are also further
links
to resolving other IE oddities:

I hope this helps.
