I hate IE6! (or “why my posts jumped all over the place”)
I just fixed a bug in my maurus.net design that recently occurred in IE6/Win. Two days ago I decided to revalidate the site and I had some invalid markup that had crept in and I fixed it. Turns out that I ran into a bug that only occurs in IE6’s standards compliant mode. So congratulations to me, I introduced a bug by fixing my XHTML templates.
I fixed it by applying a width: 100%; CSS rule to the p elements under div.storycontent, the wrapper for all weblog posts’ content.
Yes, I have lots of non-semantic markup in my templates and I feel bad about it, but it’s the best I can do right now. Now that I’ve admitted it, Information scientists all over the world may now burn me at the stake.
