IE box-model rendering blues

You know you’re having a strange day as a web geek when in working on a design for a client you are happy that it looks crappy in exactly the same way in both Firefox and IE.

And all I want for Christmas from the W3C is a DTD that includes a rendering option for a right or left pointing triangle as a default for the <li> tag. I don’t think they have any idea how much making a default bullet like that would lighten the load.

    W3C…so confusing….
    But as a budding web designer with a new Mac, Dual Processor I ask…why would ANYONE want a pc? The world is so complicated already….

    The one downside of the Mac is that I need to go to the PC to see how my machine looks for the unenlightened majority.

    The Mac, like the BetaMax, suffers from a combination of problems. While it may be a superior format (crashes less, is easier to manage), it’s got horrible marketing (what *can* you do on a Mac besides multimedia (and I include web in this) development?): there’s no reason why I should be able to buy a brand new laptop PC for $499 and still have to pay nearly double that for the base model iBook.

    Isn’t what you’ve discovered the browser-equivalent of a singularity?
