EVIL!!!! THE STUPID BROWSER PROGRAMMERS ARE EVIL!!!! WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE FF READ ATTRIBUTES DIFFERENTLY FROM IE????!!!!!!!

*sniffles*

See, this is the problem: In IE, borders are included in the width. In FF, they are not. So if I have a 10px wide border around an 100px wide div, the actual area in FF would be 100px wide, while in IE they would be 80px wide. Normally, that doesn't make too much of a difference. But when the extra width covers stuff in another div, it does.

HATE! HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid browsers. Why can't they just all agree on the same way of reading a code? Are they just trying to make life difficult for us poor programmers?

*Sobs incosolably*

And there are other things. Some of them can be worked around. For instance, FF displays the text significantly smaller than IE (when IE has text-size "medium" and FF has "normal"). This is annoying. Not significantly, but still annoying.

The only thing that they display properly together are graphics. Which is probably why most sites these days rely completely on those for every single effect that's not too common. And it sucks, because then they take forever to load. I'm not one of those graphic-intense people, because I don't want it to take 5 minutes to load each page. Unless you have original content that people are just DYING to see, then they'll probably just go away. Graphic intenseness, in my opinion, is almost just as bad as having music that autostarts, autoloops, and has no off button. It's one of the deadly sins of webprogramming. And I will stab someone in my frustration.

Seriously, IE and FF should get together and FREAKING REACH AN AGREEMENT!!!!! It'll be like, FREEDOM FROM SLAVING AWAY FOR NO GOOD REASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, HOW FRIGGIN HARD CAN IT BE TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A BORDER SHOULD TAKE UP DIV SPACE AND REACH AN UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT???? IT'S LIKE STUPIDITY AT ITS STUPIDEST. I'M OVER HERE WRINGING MY BRAIN OUT OVER SOMETHING AS RETARDED AS A FRIGGIN DAMN BORDER!!!!!!!!! AND ITS RETARDATION.

Gawd.
