Classic example of this menace.

Nice find

“Why the fuck can’t these guys get together, have a couple of beers, smoke some weed, and decide on some basic rules on how their browsers function!”

There is already a standard existing and it is called the W3C standard.

If you have notice both FF3 and Opera have rendered it similarly. It is no news that Opera is a highly standards compatible browser. Safari would render the page in the same way too.

It is only IE which does not have a standards compliant behavior. So if Microsoft takes steps there it is enough.

IE 8 was supposed be fixing this. But the post claims the same behavior is present on IE 8 too.

Post says:

“appears broken in Firefox 3 & Opera. IE 7 & IE 8 Beta 1, however render the page as it was intended to look.”

I’m having my fingers crossed. If IE 8 fixes this, it will be a great boon for all web developers.

Writing separate code for IE quirks is too daunting.

So here the guys did a terrible thing.

wordpress recommend it too :p
