I spend far too much time explaining to my coworkers that no, Internet Explorer is not behaving correctly: that caching behavior is broken, that box model is not standard, that JavaScript behavior is unusual. Sometimes it's not even that IE is wrong, it just chooses a different path than every other damn browser we test. Yet the expectation I confront is that if IE behaves a certain way, it is right and everything else is broken, so we should just tell people to use IE. Aargh! And best yet, it doesn't matter that IE on my computer doesn't behave the way it does on theirs, because IE on their computer does what they expect so I must have a nonstandard configuration. Grrr…
So it is with great relish that I read Amy Hoy on troubleshooting Internet Explorer. I'm pinning that to my wall, you can be sure.
