Who says that because we're pro-Mozilla means that we're pro-Netscape?
There are people here who don't have positive opinions about Netscape,
but still give Mozilla their enthusiastic support.
Anyway, IE is fairly standards compliant so it renders things largely
correct, but still has bugs prevents certain things from being rendered
as specified by W3C's specs. I am rather irritated also that some people
assume that just because IE renders it, it's the way it should be
rendered. In most cases yes, but not all cases. Last I checked, IE had a
really strange interpretation of using certain relative font sizes with CSS.
Anyway, things like textboxes are really trivial. I think it's too
common of an assumption that every single aspect of a web page can and
should be controlled with precision down to the pixel. Things like
images and table cell widths can be controlled as such, but we're also
talking about different operating systems that interprets fonts
differently and have their own widget sets, so not everything can be
controlled down to such precision.
