The image above shows you why all versions of Internet Explorer suck ass. Internet Explorer is such a dumb and buggy browser that it cannot interpret the CSS behind this WordPress theme. If you view my site in Firefox, Chrome or Safari then you would see that the contents below the sidebar headings should be displayed in a gray box that should align directly below the heading graphic. But the screenshot I have shown you is from this same site viewed in Internet Explorer 8. There is an obvious difference. And this issue is not just with Internet Explorer 8 but will most versions of Internet Explorer. It is a real pain in the ass for anyone who designs websites. And because Internet Explorer is the dominant browser we all take it in the ass.
I could tweek the layout of this theme and try to correct for it but I rarely view anything in Internet Explorer and the rest of the world can just deal with it. Luckily this little imperfection with my sidebar is not as bad as some pages I have designed in the past and I’m not that motivated at the moment to try and correct for it. It would just be nice if Microsoft would do a better job with the browser that they force down peoples throats.
