So you are saying that web developers should just support IE?

Padding + margin adds width to boxes in IE where as Firefox keeps it at 100px causing the background image to run short on FF.

Lol.

1. Browsers themselves don't have IE. (Unless you mean web browsers, as in people)
2. Just because more people have it doesn't mean it's better to code for it, it's better to code for all browsers.

Technically his sentence makes sense - as browsers are the people browsing websites thus being browsers. Sure it's not the best combination because a browser is also the software. But anyhow - as I said to Tom about padding and margin - it only adds to the box if you don't declare a doctype as stated in another post. Read up on doctypes - http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/Doctype. It clearly states

Quote:

But the most important thing is that with most families of browsers, a doctype declaration will make a lot of guessing unnecessary, and will thus trigger a "standard" parsing mode, where the understanding (and, as a result, the display) of the document is not only faster, it is also consistent and free of any bad surprise that documents without doctype will create.
