This is not a problem unique to IE. Firefox, Chome, Safari, and others all need shims/patches/etc too:
> But to the point about cross-browser issues, it’s a complete myth that today’s modern browsers have no differences. Look through the jQuery source code and you’ll see plenty of places where it has to fix, patch, and mask issues in modern browsers; those problems didn’t end with IE8. jQuery 2.0 now has more patches and shims for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox than for Internet Explorer!

So, how about we stop spreading myths and using vitriolic language, and provide constructive criticism and feedback so Microsoft and others can all fix bugs and issues with their browsers?
- MichaelApproved 14y agoIn my experience, it's not as terrible when things "break" in Chrome, FF or Safari, as it is when they break in IE.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoCode that I write almost invariably works without change in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and all the others (including Opera), then I wind up having to do a bunch of hackery to make it work in IE. I'm talking basic layout and JS functionality, not super-convoluted stuff like jQuery. Sorry, it's an IE problem. As for "constructive criticism and feedback": Microsoft has been ignoring it for the last 15 years. What makes you think they're going to start listening now?
