FYI, IE 6 in web standards mode implements the box model correctly.  IE 5.x
does not.


If you read what I have written I have not said, use web standards and screw
IE. I said it is easier to develop something in a standards compliant
browser and then go ahead and make it work with IE correctly than to get it
working in IE first and then make it work with compliant browsers.

Subject: Re: IE Browser

Nobody was saying not to use standards. But since IE is still far and
away the big slice of pie, it behoves a developer to not rely on the
parts of the standards that IE can't use. And to be knowledgeable of
how IE's non-standard implementations of the standards (e.g. box
model).

Oh, and you do know there's no such thing as future-proof, right? :-)

I didn't see anyone suggest that they were writing just to the
idiosynchracies of one particular browser at the expense of others. I
did see them say that since IE is the major player that you do have to
test for it.
