CSS – lower right text & Mac

by jcf. Average Reading Time: about a minute.

What a joy… coding a simple website with some text on the lower right, independent of browser window size. No, no JavaScript please. And no – no tables, they are so 90s. So – because it’s “à la mode” it’s XHTML and CSS.

And because it’s commercial, it should look good on a number of different systems. Also on a Mac. With IE on a Mac.

A couple of hours later – I give up. IE/Mac is so broken, that there are websites that deal with a lot of annoyances.

I have decided that I will not bother with IE / Mac. The Mac people have Safari after all… (And us non Mac users can use iCapture to see how it would look like.)

The website is about Personal Groupware? Ohh – and still in it’s early infancy…

Update: I have given up on the CSS version and returned to the table based version (which incidentally doesn’t render to well on Opera – the browser I use). Things were looking good PC wise, but breaking up on the Macs we have. 4 hours spent to get a text in the lower right corner “the right, pure way with CSS”. Do any of you out there now how to do it?

And on another related note – all your base are belong to us:

    I’ve never been able to pull that one off cross browser, even with j script. Horrible oversight…

  2. Thanks for confirming my suspicions… Sigh
