Mac & CSS & MSIE = bleah
I’ve been tasked to do a few different websites now, three for fun, one for work, and after going through a bunch to template and photoshop sites for ideas, I have to say, I suck.
But I know what sucks about my designs at least. Or at least think I do. They seem a bit flat, and not as eyecatching as several others out there. So, I guess I need to work on that.
Oh, and designing on a Mac is wonderful and I love it and all, but dammit, someone remind me next time to check the layout on MSIE before I get too far down the road. I spent all weekend on a layout (all CSS naturally) only to discover it was totally hoarked in MSIE (That’s a great sounding non-word. Hoarked!!!). So, because of time constraints, I opted to throw it in a table and now I’m basically back where I started.
Sing it, brutha! F-ing Mac MSIE and Nutscrape suck! My CSS is jacked on my site thanks to Mac’s wierdness… Works fine in Intel based machines… Go figure…
It’s not so much that mac sucks (though mac MSIE does, which I don’t even bother testing on), it’s that MSIE for windows doesn’t bother with standards compliancy. I guess when you get to be the bully on the block, you don’t need to worry about such “trivial” pursuits.
Agreed. But, come on, do we really expect Microsoft to put out a quality product for Mac?
what gets me, is in Nutscrape on the mac, all you get is the header for my site! UGH!
I’m haaving my bit of CSS grief with MSIE on Wintel. My site is all good in all Mac browsers and Firefox on Win, but MSIE eats my CSS and makes it’s own decisions like there’s no tomorrow.
We need to get the world on Firefox.
That’s what happened with me Martin…designed and tested with firefox and mac, and it was beautiful. Loaded it up on Windows and MSIE and it was all fubar’d.
Arg.
