Internet Explorer

What do you hate most about Internet Explorer's rendering engine? I cannot stand that IE 6 will not accept transparent PNGs.

That they can't render most CSS3 effects.

Like rounded border?

I typically do that in Gimp and have it as an image.

You should asked what I like cos it's easier when you DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REMEMBER.

That is one of them, but lets say you want a box which is 50% of the window width. You need an overall top container to define the width, a top left image, a top middle image and a top right image. Next you need the middle section which holds the content. Then you need to the bottom container and a bottom left image, a bottom middle image, and a bottom right image. With CSS3 you could just set a border-radius of 10 and call it quits. Also, IE only supports eot formats for the @font-fact feature and it is rather annoying to convert a ttf or otf to eot format. Plus there are a bunch of other CSS3 features which probably won't get supported by IE until ten years from now. Then it will take another ten years for people to transit from IE 7 and 8 to the version which does support CSS3, and by then we will be on CSS5 or something and IE will still be the web designers nightmare.

Ahh. Good idea! (That site doesn't work anymore though, I get a server not found error).

I say don't support IE at all. People need to use standards compliant browsers that have regular upgrades (i.e. Firefox).

[sourfacedcyclop]

You can't not support IE, WAY to many people use it. IE7 isn't to hard to work with, and IE8 is even better. IE6 is the problem. Unfortunately, over 10% of people still use IE6, so when building a website for a company, not supporting that many people can be a problem

Not if you show a message why?

Such as:

We take great pride in the functionality and user friendliness of our Web site. In order to provide you with the best quality service, we cannot lower our standards to support a Web standards incompliant browser. Please, do yourself, and the Internet in whole a favor and download one of these standard compliant Web browsers: Firefox, Safari, Opera, or Google Chrome.

Thank you!

I would put something like that.

^ or you could ask them to upgrade their IE. anything but IE6 or lower. at least IE7 & IE8 are less nightmare-ish than IE6.

you can get by without supporting IE6, but if you want a serious website, you have to supoort IE. If you show a message like that, most IE users will just say screw it and leave to never come back.
