my beloved IE

20 02 09 - 20:42 Well, today I uploaded a lot of stuff which took a long time to create, so I was pretty satified when finally all stuff was on the server. But then my girlfriend came in and asked the question of the questions - "Have you checked the site with the IE?". I answered: "No, But what can go wrong?". Well, if you have ever heard something of Murphy’s Law you know that this question was a quite stupid one. The first problem was to find the IE on my computer, because when I switched to Firefox l removed all links to the IE. Finally "Execute->iexplore" was quite helpful. When the IE opened, I was still (naive as I am) expecting a nice site, as saw the dilemma. The godfather of all browsers presented a nicely ordered collection of rubbish. So I started checking my CSS. Well, this was three hours ago. Finding the mayor problem was easy. The IE (version 6 and less) does not support the position:fixed style-sheet. To convince the IE to show a fixed footer anyway took much longer. Finally I manged it, but because I am not a css expert it was a hard fight. But at least now I know what the "star hack" is...
