arrrrrgh! part 1
Notice the minutiae of the difference between browsers: IE will put borders on the outside of the content area, whereas Firefox includes it within the content area making designing for browser compatiblity somewhat hellish when you calculate size by the pixel. Not that borders are a big deal, but when it affects how you have to calculate padding and margin sizes according to how a browser is going to read it, I'm just not interested anymore. Math skills I don't possess, so don't make me go around adding padding sizes just so that the website looks normal in IE5+. I don't want to preview it in 2 or 3 different browsers just to make sure it behaves equally, I'm not going to even mention having to resort to workarounds just for IE. I'd rather just do it and go, there, that's how I want it to look, who cares about x browser's interpretations, if they choose to look at the web world wonkily, that's their affair.
