I am amused and relieved to read this report in the news this morning!
A recent study has found that it is not only the likes of me, the humble and self taught coder that has difficulties with the current 'bugbear' in my life....the illustrious 'Firefox'.
It seems that one in ten UK websites either not not appear correctly or just fail to work at all when viewed in Mozillas offering. These are some of the 'big boys', large companies including Odeon.co.uk, Jobcentreplus.gov.uk, Insurance.co.uk and British American Tobacco, all of whom presumably have access to well trained and qualified individuals to employ and run their websites....... yet they suffer some of the same problem as lil old me!
Apparently professional coders have a tendency to only check their work in I.E as opposed to using industry standard browsers. I assume that once they are aware of a problem they are better able, than the likes of me, to fix difficulties that present themselves, but it's kinda pleasing to know that at least I check those I do in Firefox and attempt to iron out problems and it's rather comforting to know that the professionals struggle with the same aggravations as yours truly!
Ha.......I don't feel quite so dense now! :o)

Have you ever seen somebody lick the chutney spoon in an Indian Restaurant and put it back? This would never have happened under the Tories.
