Wow, IE6 is even more annoying than I remember.
Oh, you know: Internet Explorer 6 is that one browser Microsoft released with Windows XP, easily the most popular browser in the world and also probably the least secure, target of phishing scams and spammy toolbar add-ons, providing only the bare minimal features of the modern browser.
Did you know that on the web development side, it’s somehow possible that working with IE is even worse? Its bugs are well documented; IE ignores all the effort put into standardizing browser rendering behavior and happily follows its own rules, thanklessly adding countless hours of development time to any website hoping to display competently on the (sadly) most popular browser in the world.
To add insult to injury, those of us who have upgraded to Windows Vista and wish to mold our creations on Microsoft’s (supposedly) latest-and-greatest platform have absolutely no way to run IE6 on the operating system. The current workaround is to download a full image of Windows XP and load an entire virtual machine so we can run…IE6.
All this is just a long way of saying that my site does not display properly in the dreaded browser (the right toolbar get shoved to the next element, i.e., the bottom of the page) and after spending an hour I am no closer to figuring out how to deal with the annoying bug.
The moral of the story: don’t use Internet Explorer.
