Web Standards. IE, are you listening?

Posted March 8th, 2005 in Development, Web

I started working on my presentation for my next SLUG talk Sunday evening. As I’ve previously mentioned here, I decided to do it in Eric Meyer’s S5. The experience has been pretty good overall, I managed to modify a theme I liked to give it a personal feel. Now, the interesting part was when I opened it up on Internet Explorer at work and got this. Now, if you’re like me at all, your first thought would be “What the hell are those odd lines?”, well those odd lines are the borders of a table on a different slide, who’s div is currently invisible. What’s really odd is that after the slide with the table is displayed, the lines go away. The less noticable problem is that IE didn’t even make an attempt at showing my Tux watermark (maybe it determined that it’s the Linux logo and simply refused to advertise for Microsoft’s competition). This is what the title slide looks like in a proper browser.
