I am in the process of writing a real website for my company, and over the last two days have gone through the usual ups and downs of XHTML/CSS formatting, and browser rendering “differences”.

I am a strong believer in the logic and power of CSS, and have been for many years. Now that the time has come for me to make a “formal” website, I have been struggling with the concept of writing code that makes sense, vs. code that safely works on all browsers. I am trying to build a site that makes sense, but at the moment I keep finding specific browsers that barf on various chunks of code, and am getting weary.

After playing around with lots of hacks for IE5Win, I thought I had things in order, but just loaded my site in IE5Mac on OSX and the damned thing’s a mess. Seems that IE5Mac doesn’t like sharing space with floated and non-floated DIVs. Tomorrow’s another day.
