Let’s all play the “Which IE CSS bug is it this time?” game

Posted on in Browsers.

I was using this blog as an example of something the other day and noticed something was off in the sidebar when viewed in Internet Explorer. No surprise there, but when I dug a little deeper I discovered that it was only broken in IE7 – both IE6 and IE8 were okay (well, IE6 was a little off but nothing major).

The problem’s likely to have been there since last June which shows how little I use IE at home. Something to do with clearing floats or a calculating heights, but why is IE6 okay?

Yet another way to crash IE

Posted on in Browsers, Work, WWW.

I came across a nice juicy bug in Internet Explorer today. New to me, but not to everyone else.

The short version is, if you change the useMap property of an img node then when the new map has fewer area nodes than the old one, IE will crash.

The good news is that it seems to be fixed in IE 8 beta 2. So we can stop worrying about this bug in ten years or so time…
