GitHub is one of those asinine organizations that *expects* everybody to access the web the way *GitHub* want their users to access it, and it *must* be with the "latest-and-(*cough*)-greatest" browser, ie whatever browsers that *GitHub* determines to be "worthy", and to hell with anyone else. One of the reasons I've come to hate GitHub. As far as IE troubles - I've done plenty of cross-browser stuff myself, including supporting IE as far back as *7*, and frankly if you have a bunch of special IE workarounds in either your HTML/CSS or anywhere else then *you're doing something wrong* in the first place. Either you're trying to be pixel-perfect (in a medium that's *specifically designed* to look different according to the *client* side) or you're just plain overengineering your HTML/CSS (*very* common), or doing something stupid like pretending CSS is actually suitable for layouts (it's *NOT* - tables OTOH actually *WORK* for layouts, contrary to the hysterical religious FUD against them), etc. _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
