Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, and I love web design as im a creative person. I taught myself XHTML and CSS about a year and a half ago via W3C Schools.

I've recently been making my new layout which will probably be ported to a CMS or have a new script integrated into it. Back when I learnt XHTML and CSS, I was only part time but now I'm full time in a new job so don't really have the time to self teach PHP.

I'm one of those who swears by valid HTML and CSS, anti table layout and accessibility nut. Yet sometimes I think .... why bother?

My latest site here, was designed and tested every step of the way with IE6, Firefox 1.5 - 2.0 RC3 and Opera 9. Every browser render it fine after a few hours of adjustments and no CSS hacks.

As some of you may know, IE7 has gone final, so I download and install it.

Only to be greeted by my websites CSS hover buttons, to not connect with the content div. It appears that IE7 is not applying bottom padding to the anchor tags that are held in place with an inline unordered list.

Also there now appears to be more space between the posts, and the blue download box at the bottom.

Grrr I hate Internet Explorer. Just because average Joe who uses windows and has no clue about other browsers. Microsoft think it is ok to abuse web standards.
