IE is the devil's work

I spent the whole night messing around with my HTML tags and CSS in an attempt to get this under control.

NOTHING is working. It's happening consistently to about 3 pages.

So I started doing some googling, and came across this page on Channel which lists a ton of IE bugs. Check out this one,

Sometimes IE fails to draw some actual text correctly, but selecting the text shows it. Clicking outside the selection sometimes then shows the text properly, but sometimes text that had been displayed correctly before selection and was included in the selection also disappears when clicking outside the selection. I've often seen this on blogs.msdn.com.

WHAT?!?!?!

I found a few links that may give me a chance at fixing this problem:

I'm going to read them tomorrow and hopefully get past this stupid bug.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE IE TEAM THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN VERSION 7 OF YOUR BROWSER.

Yes, version 7! It took you (Microsoft) 5 years to go from version 6 to 7, and these are the kinds of bugs I'm dealing with?!?!? Paul Graham is right. You've been a joke for years, and you've just put the last nail in your coffin. Vista + IE7 is a total train wreck.

....deep breath....

This may very well be the last HTML application I ever build. The Flex compiler is (finally) free. I think this guy was right when he said,

I'm done with it.

(UPDATE! IT'S WORKING NOW.)
