An old subject

So let's say I'm coding some fairly detailed CSS. I take back anything I ever said about Internet Explorer and CSS as Gecko's interpretation is really... sad. It makes all sorts of silly assumptions and has a hard time making relative items stay properly relative. One specific case I've encountered is when positioning items with border styles exactly next to eachother. Gecko seems to assume the border is outside of the item's bounding box while IE appropriately assumes that it is inside. Gecko also makes a line break before a heading tag even if it's the first one inside of an element... why would anyone want that? It makes it very difficult to make a tight layout without unnecesarily tweaking your heading tag definitions and therefore make (already) divergent style sheets.

Then again I should be happy because I don't really have to worry about Netscape 4.x anymore. I can only equate the feeling to having an annoying old family member finally croak and leave you in peace.
