Nope, unless someone knows PHP and can make a SMF mod that fixes it.
But seriously, Internet Explorer is terrible, especially 6 and 7. None of the versions are fully compliant with web standards. Some sites even blocks IE users to force them to switch.
I personally don't understand why some people absolutely want to stick to IE when you can customize Opera or Firefox to look similar to IE (if you only use IE for the look), unless your parents refuse to let you install a better browser.
Yes the standards on IE 7 and even 8 are just terrible.
IE 6? Forget it! No tabs? The nightmare browser
As for DJ your question, it's microsoft. Terrible. Ever since IE started owning the market over the previous superbrowser, Netscape (which was interestingly run by Mozilla) in the 1990. Microsoft has taken great lengths to ensure it's browser dominated. So they started introducing it into their OS so that it would ship with it. and the real reason for people to choose it is not because they choose to stick to it, it's that many have never even heard of firefox or chrome or opera and just 'are happy with the default programs that microsoft provides with windows'. But things are changing, and with IE coming down to less than 50% of the market share, someday MIcrosoft will go DOWN!!!
Anyway i like this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_warsfor another reason why IE 8 sucks: go to acid3.acidtests.org
try it first with chrome or any other non-ie browser and then try Interent explorer 8. you'll be laughing. imagine ie6's score.
As for IE 9 well i will have to change sympathies a bit because it is much better. but i also see it as a catchup to the other browsers rather than leading the pack
thhis page will also have you laughing. it has so many lies that you can easily see thorugh, microsoft is desperately trying to save its precious browser
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/compare/default.aspxalso here in the public library i am forced to use the horror ie7 and on the profile page where you can edit your sig it keeps jumping down and shaking. also on ie 7 you cannot even drag in the bottom right corner to make the editing box bigger!
