having problems in IE (mobile, this site never worked correctly under IE) and now firefox.

Not sure if it is the background graphic, or layed graphics or what, but I am seeing a lot of anomalies.

I am on Waterfox; looks fine on Chrome as well.

disregard, I accidentally tried to log in with IE instead of firefox. It is just the same old jacked up BS because the webdev either has an axe to grind with MS or is incompetent (or both).

I think it's you or your ISP. I'm having no issues, in any browser.

Also, who uses IE?

It also depends on which version of IE. Would you believe IE11 provides for backward compatibility for IE7 and IE8... by different means?

I remove all desktop and taskbar short cuts off any computer I touch and replace with firefox or chrome. Import bookmarks, no one knows the difference and I feel better about them browsing the internet lol.

It's like. FIRE! PUT IT OUT!
Ah, that's better.

believe it or not I prefer IE.
I can manage it easily with group policy, I can scale compatibility/enterprise mode (IE7 or IE8).
Firefox has corporate management problems (does not share the Windows Certificate store), while Chrome has EULA issues (I refer you to the humancentipad episode of SouthPark).

If you're a primarily MS shop -- and a lot of places are -- being able to leverage group policy is a big deal, and that's the key thing that drags in IE. But from a development and testing perspective, IE is a big annoyance. Basically, it's a big elephant in the room and everyone has to cater for it, and nobody is that happy catering for it...

That being said, it is still a developer issue not an IE issue.

I am actually amazed that Java gets a pass, it is a huge ****, but devs are happy redoing code ever release, job security i guess.

IE doesn't follow the standards and instead tries to implement its own. Because of that many websites activly refuse to adjust to it. As soon as MS follows the same standards as all the other browser developers, their browser will run just as flawless on any website.

To expect a web developer to always put up double or even triple the workload, only to support the various versions of the Internet Explorer, that arn't even always compatible with each other, was and still is the wrong move by Microsoft and no one but Microsoft is to blame.
