<div id="nb15iesux">

Lol! Classic. I wonder what that solves then. I don't actually intentionally make my websites IE5 compatible - there's only so far you can sensibly go back.

if you were to make it ie5 compatible doesnt that mean almost no css?

It's not actually hard to make a site IE compatible:

HTML Code:

<!--[IF IE]>

<script type="text/css">

 /** IE CSS can be in here --

     CSS stuff can be declared twice without any trouble,

     just make sure this is defined after the Opera/Safari/NS/Fx stuff ;)

 **/

</script>

<![endif]-->

But then, there are different rules for IE5, IE6 and IE7. :-|

Who codes for IE5? *!*

I will, if you pay me for it ;-)

Yea, I know.. it's a pain, but you could always do:

HTML Code:

<!--[IF IE 5]

IE 5

<![endif]-->



<!--[IF IE 6]

IE 6

<![endif]-->



<!--[IF IE 7]

IE 7

<![endif]-->

i think its about time we stopped coding for anything lower than IE7, people need to be weened of crappy browsers (not that IE7 is any better), my thoughts are that if my site doesnt work on IE5 then tough, they should update more often or just d/l firefox or opera.

In my opinion that because so many developers are coding for crap browsers it is adding to the slowness of acceptence new technologies in the web development world because people think that they dont need to get a new browser because IE5 works fine, as was said in another post about HTML 5, it will add loads of new stuff that will cut down my work load but because there are still idiots around who complain that it doesnt work on IE3 we wont see HTML 5 for many many many years, not in main stream development anyway, it angers me.

And i think its time that we took a stand on this instead of moaning and applying dodgey CSS hacks left right and center

That wasnt aimed at anyone in particular <3

I don't think that is referring to IE5 at all... all of IMDB's div tags are prefixed with "nb15"

So, it's just a general statement that IE sucks ;-)

lol, that's ace.

Someone should make a public service announcement about upgrading their browsers for the good of mankind!
