Internet Explorer Issues

Thanks to everyone who wrote in about the site not working on Internet Explorer. Unfortunately I need to boot into Windows to test against IE. And I don't like to do that too often.

Luckily a friend has looked at the problems with IE and given me some possible solutions. I'll try to get to them soon.

Like so many other web developers, I use Firefox. I'm no longer a Firefox zealot; unfortunately, Firefox 3.0 just has too many problems, especially with the extensions I use. Often times when I click "close other tabs" it will sit there for thirty seconds being unresponsive. Perhaps I use too many tabs?

So now instead of badgering everyone I know to try Firefox, I encourage them to try all the alternative browsers and pick the best one for themselves. I've yet to try Google's Chrome, but I think they have the right model making each tab a separate process. Please Google, let's get Chrome running on Linux!
