IE doesn't really suck (as much) anymore.

IE renders HTML pretty much exactly like Firefox. The main difference is in how they render CSS. IE7 is much more consistent with Firefox, and any problems with rendering can be solved by using conditional tags to include custom browser-specific CSS.

The days of CSS hacks are over. Making everything look right in all major browsers is easier than ever. The only annoying thing, however, is IE's lack of support for :hover.

I'll be sticking to firefox for the mean time, as I have it modded just right, got me Ad Block Plus, No Script installed, stops all pop ups and advertisements and some bad script Even stops google ads

I can't stand Firefox. Occasionally I get an email from a visitor to my flooring site that says they can't register. I could never figure it out and never even thought to ask if they were using FF or what. Today I was messing with FF and set it to render in IE mode and there it was. In IE mode, it somehow won't take users to the register page if they click the button. Other direct links or keyword links work, but not the button. In FF mode it works just fine. Happens in Netscape too - won't work in the IE render mode, but will in the FF render mode.

Tabs don't work as well in FF either. Ever since FF 2.0 came out, I have had more problems with it. Seems the best part of it is the view source feature.

If plain ol' HTML isn't working with Firefox or Opera then you can almost guarantee it's coder's error.

Your register button may use valid XHTML but it's formed in a way that I've never heard of before. It does work for me in Firefox but I was a little surprised to find it worked at all. Try this instead, which is more consistent with button usage:

<form action="$vboptions[bburl]/register.php">
<input type="submit" value="$vbphrase[register]">
</form>

Usually its the code your trying to use that is junk, not the browser .

Aaaargh, tables!!! .

Nashtax: I think he meant the rounded corner not displaying in IE correctly.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing things up.

I thought pseudo-class selectors were supported all in IE7!
