Wordpress Blogging

Yesterday i visit webdesignwall and i found quiet interesting topic about Internet Explorer. For a webdesigner, they have to take more time to put their hard work on it and patch the bugs by various IE hacks. About 80% of CSS debug time are spend on IE6. It means that designer have to waste a lot of time just to make it look nice on IE browser. If you are using other browser like Firefox, Opera or Safari you don’t have this problem.

Common IE hacks

1. CSS Conditional comments
   In order for our sites to work on specific verson of IE (due to improper CSS rendering), CSS conditional comments are used to apply special CSS specifications to fix it. If you haven’t realized this yet, read the IE bug articles on positioniseverything.net (warning: you might hate IE more after you read them).
2. PNG hack
   As mentioned early, IE6 is outdated and doesn’t support PNG alpha transparency. In order to display PNG (with alpha transparency) properly in IE6 or older version, we use this hack.

So everyone who are using IE, lets change it now and using other browser and at the same time you can save designer some time to doing other things:

1. Firefox
2. Opera
3. Safari
4. Avant
