These documents on PIE may help... <http://www.positioniseverything.net/ie-primer.html> <http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html> > I've read through the 'on having layout' numerous times but ever > situation always seem different enough never to know a solid > solution. The keys to the "solid solutions" are buried deep in the old and pretty buggy Trident engine - better left to the IE-team, while articles written by web developers only extract, dissect, look at and correct for bits and pieces as they appear buggy on screens, and only at levels and depths the various web developers are/feel comfortable on - not very deep or "solid" beyond the case at hand for the most part. Wouldn't do much good if someone who can rip the Trident engine apart tried to write articles about how to deal with it in a broad sense, as these articles would end up being very long, tedious and for the most part pretty incomprehensible for the average web developer - in short: a complete waste of time for all parties. The 'hasLayout' article is actually quite deep and relatively solid in its core, but at times we simply had to leave out the long passages that might have been useful in explaining some obscure details to a few developers. Otherwise we would have ended up with an article that were maybe 10-20 times as long and which nobody would bother to read, and that really would have been a waste of time and effort. We tried to compensate by linking to whatever we could find, or found it necessary to create, on other sites/documents, but something will always be missing or out of sync by such an approach. > I feel every time I start a new layout I invariable get to the point > where I ask for some IE help. Sigh. No big deal. Make notes every time, so maybe you'll get a better understanding of how old IE works - before it's gone... <http://www.robertnyman.com/2009/02/09/stop-developing-for-internet-explorer-6/> You'll still have a few years to catch up on it :-) In time you may become confident enough to apply a browser agnostic approach to web design... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_48.html> ...and just beat the most buggy browsers (IE6 and 7 for the time being) into submission when they act up. "Experience" is the key factor, so just keep on practicing. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
