Re: [LUG] html philosophy question

 

For static content you can test what web pages look like in IE using http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ unfortunately it only renders above the fold but there are others out there that give you a VNC session  running IE.

Sounds sensible.

Apache also offers a header/foot option to do this, which can easily
support different files for different languages. Should you ever want to
get more sophisticated.

I would fix it just to stop it being irritating, although quite a lot of
my own site doesn't work as well in IE, that is largely Microsoft's
choice ;)

Only things that leapt out was the empty "div" in the footer (it has
empty links in), and I've never seen anyone use content-Style-type meta
tags (and you don't seem to rely on it on the front page anyway).

Don't have IE to hand to test it I'm afraid. Other than those the 100%
heights on body and html make me nervous with IE, if nothing else it
tends to go a bit mad with scrollbars when things fit exactly. And
you've used a table layout for a layout that really would be simple with
CSS.
