IE is the ANTI-CHRIST
Since I’m contained in a quietly-situated area of cubicals, I can’t just stand up and scream at the top of my lungs
IE SUCKS!!!!!
So, instead I’ll blog about it, eh?
IE does NOT know how to properly behave when a stylesheet is telling it what to do (I guess Bill Gates [*cough* anti-christ *cough*] doesn’t like taking orders). I’m essentially trying to make a formatted div tag span the entire height of the web browser and of course Firefox is behaving like a good little browser should.
I’ve tried using height: 100%; as well as bottom: 0px;, both of which WORK in Firefox/Mozilla but IE just seems to sit there and picking its GUI-nose and assumes that when I say height: 100%; or bottom: 0px;, it’s thinking “oh, you must mean the bottom or height of the area of content that’s actually being filled with content”
I say it again…
Go for three? Nah. Ah, sure, what the hell. MORON BROWSER.
Of course this just scratches the surface of how stupid IE is when it comes to stylesheets. If anyone knows of any good resources out there of how to find good IE-workarounds or equivalents, that’d be much appreciated.
I think I’m going to go now and hurl some more unspoken insults and explicatives at that good-for-nothing-browser people call “Internet Explorer”.
Oh, Choose Firefox.

I ran into the same problems you did with IE’s strange implementation of the CSS box model and then I found the Modified SBMH (Simplified Box Model Hack) here:

It is an ugly hack (this coming from someone who actually used to code in GW-BASIC), but it does work and spares in frustration what it lacks in elegance.
