IE 7 is supposed to have tabs. If I click a link, IE 7 opens a new window. FireFox has spoiled me. Even Windows Update opens 4-5 new windows. What's the point, when it opens new windows? Maybe the install is bad. I downloaded, installed and it looked like IE 6. The help file said it was IE 7. I re-installed. It looks like IE 7, still opens new windows. My FireFox doesn't have to find the internet, tell me it can't open, retry, wait five minutes, go to options, help it find the internet, then it opens five windows. Every page takes two minutes. My FF 3 is slow, but it's still 100 times better than IE 7.
when you code css in a right way, there shouldn't be a lot of diffrence... only PNG's are irritating, when you have a limited png background and you wan't to let it blend with a color as background eg: body { background: url(images/background.png) repeat-x #FF00FF; } Then in IE the color is slightly diffrent then the PNG image while in FF this shows right. That's actually the only problem I have between IE and FF.
You better use Firefox If IE sucks !! I love Firefox !! Best browser With Damn Less error than Any browser... Try it
IE does have some problems while rendering CSS but it normally does work fine. There can be issues with spacing and those stuffs but it should work fine. and which version of IE are you using?
Should have more experience XHTML / CSS programmer to help you fix that. And IE is a headache for sure.
