Very much so for me today!
I chewed on trying to get a Google Map balloon icon to popup it’s Window (in all browsers). Windows IE6 and IE7 refused point blank. Eventually found the error:
Google Search result.
Snippet:
...
...
This error occurs in both IE7 and IE6.
Has anyone seen this before, and do you know how to get rid of it?
The code works fine in Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
Solution:
I think that MSIE6 has problems with things as complicated as a Google Map being a .
Try making kmapcont be a <div> instead of a .
Now onto the next problem :(
// edit to make the browser show the correct code. Did not show <p>

There should also be some 40% on ‘telling customer to stfu on “I want web 2.0-design”’.

5% convincing the client the old system is less user friendly than the new one. Recently we got a client where people had to do the ordering of items by inputing multiples of 10 on a page where they couldn’t see which other values were taken already. But they didn’t want to change it because the people were used to it. I don’t know how people get use to that method?
edit : it’s not design but if you do the sorting with up and down arrow figures it’s designed code 😊

Haha Nick that can be very true at times - it just means the Designer/Developer has to be stronger 😛

I, for one, can swear and do all the other things at the same time. I am multitasking.

I swear 80% of the time goes into getting the interface working across browsers nicely. The actual php takes so little time. Why oh why can’t M$ and the others actualy follow the css format, especially on what they set as default styles.
Don’t know if anyone here knows about it (I only found it today) but get the IE Developer Tool kit. Does nearly as good a job as firebug does but for IE.
Its already saved me a lot of hair pulling out today when a reset style decided it would ignore my IE6 only rules and apply it to IE7 just for fun, to see what would happen.
Oh the other thing that takes ages is making nice web2.0 interfaces for things which could work simply with a drop down but you just want it to look and work nicer, because you can. All that extra js code to handle updating a hidden form field when a user does some action.
Wish it was simpler.
