In my defence :

and NO sleep.
I'm sorry folks, please forgive me !
Sorry for another post. I just wanted to clarify. I didn't write the post on crashing IE. I cut and pasted the post by Eric Meyers. I thought it would be more convenient to provide his insights than to make you click on a link and go to his web site. There was also a link in there. I just don't want to take credit for the prose of someone else, Eric gets the kudos and observations, I was merely the messenger.

P.S. Patrick Lauke came up with a killer version of the zebra stripe _javascript_ which I am sure he will share with the list when it is ready. He deserves a round of applause for taking some time out of his day to help a fellow list member and eventually the entire community.

Ted, now, why did you give IE another brake ?
It's always gonna need another one and there's nothing we can do about that for now. Problem is every time we "hack" for IE we buy it a little more time. And frankly ... that's a BAD idea.
We found the best "grammar" (standards) for the web and we made them reality. We did not, however, found a way to bring IE producers [ :D] to even patch the darn thing. Lot's of questions here ...
Things are gonna change with IE 7, you say? Hello stranger ! [ hand wave ] Welcome to Earth. We mean you no harm ....
You know, I just realize that most of IE problems show their ugly, twisted heads around cofee time ( for any developer/designer ). Preferably before you had one. That's ...odd :)
If it makes you feel better : I had my sister's 4 year girl ( adorable ) stay with me last night - her ideea - until about 3 in the morning when mother came back to pick her up. "We" had tea with some dolls, trim the dogs hair a little, painted some walls and ... yes ... that ... we singed SONGS. Man THAT IS NO MATCH FOR IE. Way more frightening than anything IE can throw at me. And I had NO evening ... NO night ... and ... yes ... NO MORNING ! She's back ...
