Re: UKRA website and IE7....

I don't want to make peoples lives easier, I want standards compliance!
IMHO IE is a bag of ***, always has been, always will be.

I don't think that you quite follow....it will make people's lives
easier /because/ of it's standards compliance.

Do some research:

"Yes, I have the power to enact change. Yes, I will continue to improve
standards support and compliance in IE, and make the web better.
That's my job, my charter, my vision, and my passion. The day it
isn't, I'll quit. The day the development of the standards-based
platform in IE goes on a back burner again, I'll quit. My management
up to and including Bill Gates has said we are back in the saddle with
IE, so I have a job to get back to."
- Chris Wilson, Group Program Manager of the Internet Explorer Platform
team at Microsoft

They're working with the webstandards committee to make sure that it's
as compliant as possible. Saying that it's a bag of *** because of
its lack of standards compliance is a little blinkered.

I'll be sticking with Firefox thankyouverymuch, but it's nice to know
that I'll have to spend less time hacking around with my CSS to get IE
to display it properly.
