    I am having a problem with my background image on Internet Explorer. For some reason the page is shifting to the right once it gets to the page fold. This doesn't happen on any other browsers and I don't know why it's happening here.

    I don't know any of the advance CSS so I'm not sure whats wrong. There is an image attached that should help out, sorry for the quality, I wish digital point didn't convert .png to .jpg

    I have the same problem too. IE's CSS sucks.

    yes, i believe so, just a suggestion. I had problems using mirsoft ie, switched to use a browser provided by a local company, so far so good, not that much problems.

    Only 55-62% use IE and that number is dropping. In parts of Europe it's 50% or less.

    IE7 & IE8 are much more slower, I deleted it completely from my computer the first time I use it, though some friends say it is ok

    I wouldn't even bother with IE but my site is mainly targeted at older demographics were I am guessing most of them will still use Internet Explorer.

    You never code to a browser. Code to standards and check in the most standards compliant browser out there and that is never IE. That's why there are so many people with sites that don't work in anything else cause they were marked up wrong. It's far easier to code to standards and only have to hack IE than to code to IE (which is a bug) and have to figure out non-standard workarounds for 4 other browsers.
