Pommie pointed out to me today that my http://ghmicro.com site isn't rendering properly in IE browsers. I didn't test on IE so I didn't know. And what a broken, horrible mess it makes of my nice work!
IE is not even close to standards-compliant. Microsoft pretty much makes up their own ways of doing things and ignores the standards. If you want to see the site properly browse it with Firefox or Opera or other standards compliant browser.
I'm going thru it right now and making the necessary fixes so buggy, crappy IE will display it correctly. It will take a bit of time.
Yes, the Exploder strikes again. I foolishly assumed that Joomla would make the necessary fixes to work around IE's bugs. So I didn't test. But it didn't fix anything, and the site is harshly broken when viewed in IE.
The only reason why IE is popular is because MS bundled it with Windows.
Even though they've improved it with in 7, it still isn't good enough. They still haven't implemented important standards like SGV yet which is holding back the web.
