Ask HN: What's your favorite IE quirk?
The title says it all. What's your favorite Internet Explorer bug/quirk throughout history?
- robin_reala 9y agoThe one where you had to generate and dynamically size and position an iframe underneath any draggable element that might end up on top of a select. I personally wrote a couple of fixes for that, and there were many more.
- ess3 9y agoMy personal favorite is when console was undefined if devtools wasn't opened, making a simple console.log call crash the script.
- panic 9y agoIE5's interpretation of the CSS box model, where border and padding are included as part of the element width (now available everywhere as box-sizing: border-box). It makes more sense in a lot of cases, but good luck getting your design to look right across browsers without strange incantations like "width: 495px; wi\dth: 500px".
