Browser Inconsistencies: Yuck!
Usually I don't have to wrestle with web browser inconsistencies in my work: very few of the JavaScript functions I write need to be altered to work differently depending on the browser, and my page layouts don't typically need to be pixel-perfect.
But when I do have to make adjustments for different browsers, it can be a real pain. I've spent several hours over the past two days trying to get my latest little personal project to look right in various browsers (IE, FireFox, Opera, etc.). The slight sizing variations between the browsers wouldn't normally be a problem, but I happen to be working with a very small horizontal space such that even the difference of a few pixels can screw it up.
Fortunately, I've reached a point where the layout is acceptable (if not perfect) in the web browser. So hopefully my project will make its way here onto my blog within the next day or so.
