Having Trouble with Internet Explorer?

You're not alone. In fact, numerous reports have been coming in from clients who are trying to view websites in IE 6, 7, & 8 only to have them not render correctly--meaning that things aren't where they should be. For some reason, IE has had a rough time keeping up with CMS (content management system) platforms and it is driving web designers and programmers crazy. You can get a site to work in all browsers until you test in IE and then something is bound to be moved or missing. A lot of this is due to how IE uses DIV tags and interprets CSS and can take a programmer a lot of extra time to troubleshoot.

Happily for me, according to a recent report from one of our eCommerce providers, CoreCommerce, IE users are dwindling and now fall below 50% of total users. Mozilla's Firefox is the number #2 most popular and Google's Chrome is quickly becoming a new browser of choice along with Safari--Apple's browser on the iPhone and iPad.

So . . . if you've found yourself frustrated with Internet Explorer, I recommend trying a new browser and see how you like it. Regardless of which browser you choose, it's important to keep your version up to date allowing you to properly view all of your favorite sites!
