A strange shift seems to have happened over the past few months. Like most people out there, I used to use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 100% of the time when browsing and designing for the web. And like many people, I completely ignored Mozilla, Netscape, and any other non-Microsoft browser when it came to cross-compatibility. “Screw them” I thought, they can use I.E. or they can find another site. Shame on me.
Recently, this all changed (sort of) when I discovered the wonders of Firefox and was converted over to the dark side without ever looking back. However, I was still guilty of the same “If it looks ok in MY browser…” mentality and began to ignore issues of poor display in good old Internet Explorer. Shame on me again.
This gross neglect of cross-compatibility was brought to my attention today when I realized that for the past few weeks, the menu on this site was virtually unreadable in I.E. due to a font sizing issue in the CSS. Number one, I apologize for the mistake. Number two, PLEASE tell me if and when you see something like this so that I can fix it. GOD! IDIOT!
