IE Still Sucks

The design of this site was tested in the browsers to which I have regular access: Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Although Opera had some differences of opinion on font sizes for pre blocks, they basically all rendered the site the same way.

Then came IE. I really didn't expect much out of IE5 or IE6, but IE7 brought with it a lot of promise. Alas, the promises were broken and I've finally decided to try to put a little bit of effort into making my site at least somewhat readable in IE. See the screenshots below for an example of how badly IE thinks my site should look (thanks browsershots):

IE7	Safari

The problem here seems to be that IE7 doesn't like my absolute positioning without a left or right defined. I've tried switching to floats and will see if that makes a difference.

The only difference I could see between IE5 and IE7 was that it's at least centering the content now. It'll happily overlay the text otherwise. Google Analytics does suggest a few people look at this with IE, so I'll try to make it remotely readable, but you're better off just finding a better browser.

Update

With the nav positioned via float, it's actually readable, but it doesn't show the bullets for the nav on the left. At least people won't be entirely confused when they get here.
