I is for Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer is the web browser used by the vast majority of internet users. It does not support web standards as well as the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox and Opera, and has a whole raft of CSS hacks written to try to allow you to get the damn thing to do what you want. Of course, the Greater Standardista would frown at the use of something as inelegant as a hack, and simply assert that if Internet Explorer doesn’t render according to specification, that’s hardly their fault. The latest version, IE7, is believed to be a significant improvement.

A Standardista’s Alphabet is a light-hearted look at Web Standards Evangelism. It’s part of the September issue of A List Apart, and well worth a read.
