I’m sure I’m not the first and I am far from being very knowledgeable about it but coding for the fucking nightmare that is Internet Explorer is a pain in the ass. I realized that my site looked well dodgy in IE last night, so since then have been fixing it. It’s allowed me to clean up elements of the site that needed fixing but at the same time I’ve fucked up the formatting on the sidebar. It’s readable & usable but in my opinion will have to be totally rewritten. The other problem is of course the fucking wordpress widget system, and widget authors putting their widgets in unneeded divs. The only thing your widgets should be nested in is an unordered list. I had to go into the widgets.php to change this as the text widget was being unduly formatted because of this. Lesson for developers here, the only thing that goes in divs are main page elements. Things like menus & news items can call go in unordered lists and paragraphs. Anything else is totally inappropriate and causes problems later on.
