After leaving Internet Explorer, I never turned back. I’ve been using a different browser now for almost two years. So after spending hours on end tweaking the layout of this site, imagine my disgust when I realized I had forgotten to check Internet Explorer to see if things looked as good as in Firefox. Surprise surprise, broken.
If for some reason this page is broken to you, its because you are using Internet Explorer or another browser that does not support web standards.
Yes, Internet Explorer came with Windows, however, the program itself, the latest version included, is at its core, old. The next version that is slated to come out in the third or fourth quarter of this year will be standards compliant. Until then, there are other options.
It is actually not only smart to switch just because some pages look strange. At this moment, Internet Explorer is the most widely used internet browser. Therefore, it is the most targeted by exploits and viruses. So internet security is an issue as well.
Until Internet Explorer 7 is released, I would suggesting changing to another browser. There are a few different options out there. The two most well known are Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/) and Opera (http://www.opera.com). Not only are both of these browsers more secure and more standards compliant, but they also are packed with features that may have you not wanting to return to Internet Explorer even when the new version comes out.
Of course, in the real world, most of you wont care to switch. Regardless of how easy they are to install and operate. With that being the case, I am having to search around and try to find the proper code to get my site to flow correctly regardless of the browser being used.
So until then, if this site is broken, I’m sorry. It’s your browser.
