I believe back in those days I was still working with table structures, so I 
didn't really see the hassle.

Been redesigning CrackGuitar on the side for weeks, built with CSS columns 
holding nested divs with background images. Opened the draft in IE6 and I 
have a whole new job on my hands.

Sorry for doubting your dissing.

I can sympathise with you. When building a site I always have FF and IE 
open to check what it looks like in both. Sometimes, though I forget to 
look at IE for a while...

I hate IE, and I hate Microsoft. IE would be an even worse piece of crap 
were it not for FF and Opera.

My editor has a switch between IE/FF preview modes, onboard browsers as 
plugins. I wrestle my way to evens between IE7 & FF, but very rarely 
remember 6.

Been toying around and it seems that the majority of my issues was just from 
the old padding placement; IE6 spanned out the block with your padding, 
everything else contains it. It's like they'd never heard of 'margins'.

I'm pissed off that no IE can work with z-index yet. Would have made some of 
this page easier.

What editor is that? I've always thought it safest to run the actual 
browser itself, as emulators could be prone to missing things.

HTML-Kit.

You know it is using the browser itself because you can right-click the 
page, get the usual menu list and open the source in notepad. When you first 
select to view in FF mode you have to wait for the browser to start up. 
About 3 seconds on my machine.

It has a 'split-mode' viewing which is quite smart too; you can view IE&FF 
side by side, horizontal or vertical.
