Oh man! Ignorance is bliss. I just opened up this blog in Firefox 3.5.7. The result:
I usually use older versions of Firefox since the plugins I frequently use are slow in being updated. If I don’t check my websites when a new browser comes out, this is what you get. t_t WHYYYYY?
As I’m developing a new theme, I got another shocker. It’s the same code but behaves differently in 3 browsers, not Safari, FF, IE noo. Different versions of FF and IE all of which aren’t even 3 years old! Enough to drive every webdesigner mad.
Above you’ll see that in IE7 this occurs. IE8 doesn’t seem to do this. Just IE7. The older firefox doesn’t have this issue either. The space in the second picture should not exist.
Now look what happens if that same code is opened in Firefox 3.5.7. Displays perfectly in Firefox 3.something but now is junk in Firefox 3.5.7.
By God, I want to scream. They’ve truly made a giant mess out of it the past three years. “It’s all for the better”, yea yea… but don’t remind me I’ve got a shit job to do and stuff to get done. Making my sites compatible with 0.00002 version of each browser is killing me.
