well, since most of the browsers in the world have IE, it'd better to code in for IE

You haven't heard about Firefox have you??

[Meti]

Ofcouse I have. I use it too sometimes.

But IE comes with your computer, so everyone has it.

That doesn't make sense either.

I'm sorry but this could have been found easy by a qiuck google search, and I swear you even left out classes?

[RichardKnox]

That is IE only if you are going to use background images.

Sorry, what? Background images work in Firefox...

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

Sorry, what? Background images work in Firefox...

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

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.
