I dunno man, I've never had any problems with IE when coding stuff, but I'm a big proponent of DHTML, being as anti-Flash as I am. Besides, if you want pixel-perfect placement for things why are you hard-coding it anyway? That takes fuckin forever, and it's really not worth your time when you can get something like Dreamweaver and that's that.

I would like to point out that, Beck's video problem probably has as much to do with the fact that there isn't really a seamless video plugin for Firefox on Linux as anything else.

Also, as Beck can attest to, for just about anything else you want to do with web design, Firefox is head-and-shoulders above IE from the designer's perspective. For placement of objects in CSS, it can actually count pixels properly. For javascript, it doesn't implode when your javascript uses a variable name that matches the id of a div in your HTML. It handles transparent pngs without nebulous workarounds. And it deals with CSS logically. Meaning if you write a layout that makes sense, lo and behold! It works as you intended in Firefox. (Meanwhile, IE leaves you a broken man, crying in the corner wondering what you did to deserve these patches of naked scalp.)

I mean, something as simple as a minimum width for an object, which one would think would be fairly straightforward and is in agreed-upon web standard, requires a hideous workaround, one that becomes unfathomable months down the road. (If you want an example, check out this CSS file and look at the minimum width hack for IE. I don't understand how that works anymore. Nor do I know how to modify that.)

...
Wow, that turned into a rant in a hurry. I suppose, though, that I should leave the cataloguing of the pains of designing for IE to Mr. Beckett, who I believe has a rather lengthy list to that effect. I mean, DHTML is one thing. I'm talking about everything else.

Disposable razors' number of blades apparently plot on a hyperbolic curve. Pete and Tom, this means our predicted Mach 13.5 will be surpassed in a few short years. Ah, the marvels of modern technology!

I'm not saying I enjoy supporting microsoft, but I've never liked Firefox. I really, truly gave it an honest chance, but it just fucked everything up. Firefox is shit. It runs DHTML scripts in a fucked up order (which is a real bitch when you're trying to program a dynamic webpage that runs consistently for various browsers), it doesn't allow the scroll wheel on my mouse to work (I never did figure that one out), and apparently it doesn't work so well with those videos other. Fuckin firefox. I hope they get their shit together soon, kuz right now they ain't doing it for me.

It may be a little late for some of us, but The Non-Expert: IKEA (as a video game FAQ, naturally).

IKEA is a fully immersive, 3D environmental adventure that allows you to role-play the character of someone who gives a shit about home furnishings. In traversing IKEA, you will experience a meticulously detailed alternate reality filled with garish colors, clear-lacquered birch veneer, and a host of NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS (NPCs) with the glazed looks of the recently anesthetized.
