Browser Support and SAP CRM – Part 2

A Sideline Project

I am currently redesigning our corporate website, and will be posting some info on it over the next couple of weeks.

This process really drove home the point that IE6 is the buggiest, least standards compliant browser around. I had no problems with IE7(still lots of bugs but I didn’t run into them), Firefox 2/3, Opera, Safari or Konqueror.

I’m not one for getting into holy wars, but IE6 can do strange things. I guess we never see it, because web designers(like me) take its bugs into account. Another thing I will write about later is why IE6 is still my default browser.
