</div>
</div>
<div id="SiteContainer">...To set the background to the (firefox) windows of vanilla, Mark use the following css rules:
#Introduction div {
background: url(../images/vanilla.gif) no-repeat bottom right;
height: 188px;
}IE7 is the only one to display ../images/vanilla.gif for the background of div.VersionInfo
In other browser, the background is hidden behind the background of div#SiteContainer.
Is it an IE7 bug?
Edit: Maybe it is not hidden under div#SiteContainer, but //div#Introduction/div is just too short (188px) to display all of div.VersionInfo

As a webdesigner it really ticks me off to have to hack my design to get it to work. I kinda wish there was a way to patch their broken browser to be a bit more standards compliant.

I always thought it would be good to start an organisation (www.webdesigners-against-IE-stupidity.org) to publicise this and the other issues, and perhaps make it valid to use a "not compatible with IE" badge.
If it got popular and the people on the ground were convinced to use say, Firefox instead, surely MS would do the right thing?
Well, let me know what you guys work out.

Sadly, the developers are a minority in this situation. M$ gets by because they are the default browser installed today. Hopefully 2007 will see the tide turn as more either switch to Mac or more get fed up with IE and it's security flaws.

Over the last year, IE has lost around 10% of its web browser users. If we just sit around and do nothing, nothing will happen. I think the reason the IE has lost so many of its users is because of web designers trying to move people away from IE.
Instead of making a non-compatible IE graphic, I am going to make a graphic that discourages the use of IE. My upcoming site should work fine with IE, though that doesn't mean I want people using IE to view my site. Lets make a stand.

Yes, I remember that, the guy took it down because he was being harassed.
Last summer, while creating a personal blog, I snapped. Internet Explorer is holding us back. Its ill-support of CSS2 has brought a halt to the advancement of website design. So I jumped on the anti-Internet Explorer bandwagon with my own joke campaign, Too Cool for Internet Explorer. It was a joke, plain and simple. A lot of people didn’t quite get the humor in it. Others thought it was the greatest thing since Spread Firefox and wanted a full-blown site. Honestly, I’m sick of getting emails from über-excited nerds and hate mail from IE advocates. The content is now coming down.
I’m not abandoning the hopes and dreams of one day being able to create a site using CSS2 (or maybe CSS3) and have it work exactly the same in Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc… without any extra tweaks. Rather, I’m waiting impatiently for the software engineers to realize that the WWW is constantly changing around them.
I apologize to those of you who enjoyed the joke. Keep using the badge if you dare, but the only thing that will be left is the Too Cool for IE badge.
Rest in peace, Too Cool for IE. May all browsers, on every platform, one day, fully support standards.
I agree, I would never deliberately sabotage a site from working with IE and do not advocate doing so.
As for making sure it works on IE that's a little difficult until I get my MacBook Pro next year!
Anyway, I'm sure IE users have lots of experience with glitches on web sites, they'll understand.
Yes I do have an inconspicuous little message promoting Firefox over IE and why.
GOD ?
Never heard of…
