HAHA. It actually loads better in IE than Firefox.

Loads perfectly for me. Including going all the way to the bottom of the page with no gap. (I use Maxthon, which uses IE's rendering engine)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You actually don't even need <HTML></HTML> at all. Hell, I don't think you even need <BODY></BODY> unless you're using a header.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

In fact, I'm amazed it even looks the same between IE and Firefox.

If your site were getting a good portion (or a semi-good portion) of its visitors from Firefox, Opera, etc users, it would make a difference. Though if all those counted for 0.000000000000000001%, then I'm sure webmaster are less likely to care.

Or if nothing else, just show a message to Firefox users saying that they suck and go use IE. Which there are some sites I use at work that require you to use IE. Why, I don't know.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Merv, at least their message is better than the one I get from my work's site. Granted, some of that is not true (with Maxthon, I can use IE's rendering engine and have tabbed browsing and block popup windows though I know they're making a reference to IE directly, which even then IE6 has a popup blocker, as sucky as it may be). All ours says is to "Use IE 5.0 or newer. If you don't have it, you sux0r lolol" (Ok, not literally.)

And I get to see statistics on sites I run of the browsers, resolutions, etc of what people run. Firefox doesn't make up a huge majority of hits. I almost have more people using Safari than Firefox (what the hell is Safari anyways...). Most people are using Windows XP and IE. Firefox is the Mac of browsing at this point and I don't see it overwhelmingly taking over IE anytime soon because people just use IE because:

1) It's already installed.
2) They're ignorant to Firefox, Opera, etc
3) They may be limited by their bank, work place, etc.

And personally, I don't program sites with the idea of making it compliant with Firefox, Opera, etc. Granted I don't do any fancy PHP, MySQL, or similiar crap, so it wouldn't really matter anyways...it's old school HTML (with a little Javascript) which if those browsers couldn't render, they would be the total suckfest.

I was speaking idiomatically.
