Actually, every since I started using IE for everything at work, Ive been getting lots and lots of problems. Half the times my forms are never submited for security checks, custom text boxes screw up before their headers are downloaded, sometimes my page refreshes inside iframes turns gay... and not to mention the MINI MAP never updates in IE.
You know, I dont know what is wrong with us.. I think our php abilities are just so bad... So bad... Tsk tsk.. so bad...
edit-
Oh yeah another issue I forgot.. Every time the bable box refreshes in IE and im typing it always resets my typing cursor back to the start of the sentance.. That really pisses me off.
Other times it just deletes the message im typing and I have to retype it again. NEVER have this problem in FF.
LOOK!
IE IS A PEICE OF SHIT! And it is a major source of pain for users. Back in my DK days I used to have a user using IE who used to see OTHER peoples character info anyplace she went. What sort of php code am I suppose to fix that with? Every one elses was working fine.

It's weird, I've never experienced problems in my dk with IE :s maybe some just don't set it up right, lol. I still agree FF is better to use, I'm just stubborn ^.~

While I sincerely doubt it will be good enough to lure me away from my precious Firefox, Paul Thurrott seems to think that, at the very least, IE 7.0 will be exponentially less shitty than any previous version. His review of Beta 2 is a pretty interesting read, so this thing may be something of a light at the end of the tunnel for those of you <cough>anman</cough> who are forced to use IE against your will.
Also, a note to whoever was talking about forms not getting submitted properly in IE... I know why this is.
The problem is that you're hitting Enter to submit the form, rather than clicking the actual Submit button. In Firefox (and most other browsers afaik), the first instance of a submit button in any form is assumed to be the default, such that when you hit the Enter key, it fake-clicks that button for you. IE has no such functionality, which means hitting Enter just submits the form, without fake-clicking the Submit button. And if a button is not clicked (or fake-clicked), it does not get sent with the POST or GET information.
But Jamin, you may ask, what does this mean for us?
I'm glad you asked, little Timmy. What it means for you is that you have to actually click the goddamn Submit button instead of being a lazy SOB by just hitting Enter. Because in pretty much every place that takes a form action in DK, I test whether the form has been submitted by using if(isset($_POST["submit"])). In FF, et al, this works, because of the fake-click. In IE, it never gets the chance to process the form, because IE didn't send the submit button as part of the form. So forms appear not to work. Click Submit, rather than just hitting Enter, and you'll see the magic of form submission at work! Another option is to tab down to the submit button and then hit the Space bar, which does in fact click the button for you. Bada-bing, you've submitted a form in IE without actually having to use your mouse.
So, you may continue to ask, why don't you just use some other test, like if(isset($_POST["someotherfield"]))?
Because. I've typed if(isset($_POST["submit"])) enough times that I can probably do it in my sleep by this point. Trying to change now would probably destroy my fragile little mind. Also, (not taking into account lazy people who don't actually click the button), the submit button is the only form field that is guaranteed to have a value and be sent. Text boxes could be left blank, checkboxes could be left unchecked, but the submit button (theoretically) has to be clicked.
That's why.

Theres a submit button for the bot checks?
Since when?
And even when IE 7 comes out. I wont be allowed to use it for a while untill its been crossr referenced with the programs and such I use. Theres such a substantial change that they might not be compatible, so the programing heads have to go through and check it all out.
And whos Timmy? And how much does he cost?
AND I COULD HAVE SWORN I CLICKED ON THE SUBMIT BUTTON! When I get pissed of I always put one hand on the mouse in order to stop myself from choking myself.
