CSS Reboot for GodSquad, Day 4

August 1, 2006

Today was my fourth day of try­ing to move a design from using tables to lay­out the page to using XHTML/CSS. Each day I am able to solve some prob­lems and learn some­thing new but I am still not there yet. I am frus­trated that IE6 ren­ders things so dif­fer­ently from a stan­dards com­pli­ant browser like Fire­fox. As i siad the other day, most peo­ple are still using IE6 so the design has to work in it also.

I think I tend to for­get how much time I spend work­ing out the CSS each time I have done a design in it. I have done 4 dif­fer­ent sites in XHTML/CSS and two of the sites I have done a sec­ond design so I have done a total of 6 designs that are table­less. I really like using CSS but it does add a lot more has­sle at times because browsers ren­der it dif­fer­ently. I hope IE7 does a bet­ter job and makes life a lit­tle bit eas­ier as far as design­ing for it.
