Thanks a lot, Mr. Gates
After returning this blog from hiatus, I tried reading it in Internet Explorer. This was a first, since IE, being the inferior browser it is, was uninstalled on my computer until a recent Windows XP upgrade.
And what does my eye spy? Unlike Opera and Firefox, IE displays the sidebar at the bottom of the page, starting where the main column ends. So for all these many months, visitors using IE - as most, inexplicably, do - have been unable to access the menu save by scrolling down. Death, where is thy sting?
If anyone has any idea how to fix this in WordPress 1.5 CSS, please drop a comment or an e-mail. I certainly don’t.
Meanwhile, let’s sing it together: Internet Explorer is a worthless excuse for a browser. If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and visit one or both of these sites for a free download:
So, which is better? For me, it’s a draw. Opera has the more functionality, but Firefox can be customized with extensions such as Adblock. On a Windows platform, Opera is a little faster; both are appreciably faster than IE. Both allow tabbed browsing.
And both display my sidebar where it belongs.
Update: thanks to Shana in the user forums, I found a fix. Of course, my indictment of Internet Explorer stands!
PS. Shana’s web development blog, 2+designs, is worth a look.
