Internet Explorer
 
Do you think that Internet Explorer(IE) gave developers a lots of hassle, my site rendered perfectly on Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, but not IE. I do not use data: URI because IE does not support it. IE 6 and 7 does not support most CSS2 standards, and it can be crashed very easily(you will probably crash at http://crashie.freehostia.com and http://crashie.com).

IE is high in statistics because it is pre-installed, everyone will use IE at least once and at least one link click.

Do you think IE is a hassle for developers and its high usage share is from dirty tricks?

No crap it is. We've all wasted countless hours trying to fix IE's inconsistencies and bugs that contaminate the web, and whenever a new version is released, even more crap is added that makes everything crap up again.

Yes, I wasted a lots of time to make my web page work for IE.

I don't even try to bother with IE. It's another pointless Microsoft product. I know most people use IE, but I'm sure in the near future IE will be ended because Safari, Firefox, and possibly Opera will dominate.

Unfortunately, it does give ALOT of problems, I had some problems for a college project last year because of some IE stuff. It really annoyed me.

I personally think either Microsoft should be FORCED to correct the inconsistencies in IE along with any other problems in IE (making it conform to the most updated code)

For profressional web developers, it is usually a requirement to make websites work on all browsers along with making sure it is up to W3C standard (and I think in some cases, make sure it works on all platforms as well).

And for college students like myself, you might be told to make sure it works with at LEAST IE (yes IE is the main example used >_> although I work with both that and firefox at least) which I had to do last year and will probably have to do later this year for a web design class....but oh well. I enjoy stuff like this even if its frustrating >_<

IE is used in schools and enterprises, we cannot help because it is hard to mass-install Firefox.
One of my teacher's computer has Firefox, but he did not use it, how foolish

I do, validate my sites but that still doesn't help making it work in IE.

Tho I do the hack where if its IE it will use a seperate Stylesheet. Even tho I hate doing that.

I really advise against IE conditionals whatsoever in your documents. Yeah, they work, but it just turns out to be a bad idea. Your layout should work on every browser as-is without any conditionals for a specific browser to be put into effect.

Although if you're able to pull it off in your favorite server-side scripting language, then it is better source-code presentation wise.
