Not a big fan of IE
I knew from the start that I had a few display bugs in IE. I use a lot of div's to format things and sometimes that just gets a little too complicated for this old browser to handle. But it's still functional so I'm not putting a lot of effort into IE-only CSS hacks.
But I just now realized that the Google maps were completely broken in IE. I swear they used to work, but not today. They loaded, and then it redirected the browser to a page one level up from the actual map. That didn't exist, so IE showed a page error screen. Very not cool. After some research, it turns out that IE needs a mysterious little directive on the javascript tag, defer="defer". Go figure. While I was at it, I also fixed the lines for the trip map in IE. (But I knew that part never worked.)
So, I am now slightly more welcoming to IE users. Of which there are a depressing amount.
