I must be doing something right, because while there's usually something to fix, it seldom takes more than a few minutes (in my experience building templates over the past few years). Recently, the nastiest bugs I find are in IE7. They defy classification...there's some weird voodoo going on in that browser.
- josefresco 18y agoSame here, IE6 debugging only takes a few minutes. The PNG transparency issue being the most annoying (but a simple fix) I think most of the IE6 hate articles out there are from new web developers or from coders who rely too heavily on complicated CSS which makes debugging utter hell.
- thomasmallen 18y agoYep. See, I'm from the days when IE6 was just fine, and we all loathed IE5.5/Mac (and weird proprietary Netscape stuff). My first HTML and CSS books listed compatibility issues for every browser for every technique. This was expected knowledge. For me, as a designer, the lack of alpha transparency support is annoying indeed, but it's pretty rare that a design absolutely requires true alpha transparency. Usually you can ape it during slicing, unless the "below" elements move, in which case I'll look to SuperSleight and what not.
