Is a pain in the ass. Yes, I said it, sorry. I know a there are a growing number of people out there using Firefox. Heck, I used to be one of them back when IE sucked, but it doesn't suck anymore. For those who are in Firefox, note that I finally got around to fixing a display issue with Firefox for this blog today. It had to do with a div that I had overflow set to visible on. It worked fine in IE, but in Firefox it caused the div not to stretch with its content. By switching the overflow to hidden, the content then displayed correctly, the div stretched in both IE and Firefox.

My question is, why? Why do different browsers interpret the same code in different ways, when there are, and have been, known standards out there for how to interpret the code? I am hoping IE 8 and its standards by default mode might help the symbiosis here, but come on, we are nearly 20 years into graphical browsers at this point. It shouldn't be this difficult to find these minute display issues.
