cool trick to disable internet explorer

[sqook]

slow? do u own a pentium 200mhz? for the mail there is outlook express, or msn mesenger,both can be open from iexplorer

no tabs? just right click, open in a new window, or ctrl +n, when there are many windows open they will group as a unique window in the taskbar..

no cusomizable gui? u can move the toolbar, change sizes, colors, positions, fonts, u need more?

imo it's the most elastic and compatible browser, if you want to go with limitations or incompatibilities, go for something else!
the only thing i can complain is the download management..

Also, I'd like to toss in crappy png rendering, bad transparency, and non-compliant HTML standards into the ring. IE used to be the best browser on the market when it was competing with NS4.x, but it has fallen from those ranks a long time ago. The only thing IE is good for now is spawning 300 new windows whenever you visit a website....

Oh yeah, but I guess I can easily find which page I want by clicking on the group tab and randomly picking each "Internet Explorer - Page..." application one at a time. What a feature!

compliant HTML standards into the ring.

Why would you put a huge PNG into a webpage. Gif or Jpg mate.

Bad transparency.... Do your gifs in a better program.

non-compliant HTML? IE has always been the one closest to the standard,
they cover the standard then add extra tags and features on top. NS and
FF are the ones that miss half the spec.

i do web design from time to time ( by no means am i well learned in web design, i just know the basics ) and ive read many-a-time that IE ( mostly earlier versions ) is horrible with CSS. Seems like a lot of the time you have to add "hacked" code to get certain thins to render properly in CSS.

Try this one then......

TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0

Pushes the contents of the page right to the very top or left... Very handy
especially on highly designed sites with graphical headers that need to be
hard up against the browser toolbar.

For Netscape =0 was 5 pixels, it had to be TOPMARGIN=1 as 0 wasn't
recognised. Whereas on IE it was 0 pixels just as intended. This meant
that everytime u did a nice site like that you had to server-side detect the
browser and feed Netscape a different specially coded page.

Yeah the world is full of really clueless haters just repeating the garbage
their hater peers have taught them. Tho yeah I wouldn't doubt it IE3 had
CSS problems, I stayed away from CSS until it had been around for a good
few years. The true HTML geeks were like "Everything has to be CSS now"
which is total garbage, I still don't use very much CSS.

As far as adding hacked code, usually I have to do this for FF as it will
interpret the pixels in different ways..... Most of the time it's fine, just with
things like overflows for example where you need to include several nested
divs with padding, margins and different sizes to fool FF into putting stuff
in the right place.
