Browser Bugs
Many of our users who are making their own layouts (and follow some of our tutorials) see constant browser bugs due to some problems with Internet Explorer's handling of CSS. The reason for this is that our tutorials teach the fundamentals of CSS and how to apply it correctly, which Internet Explorer doesn't always like. These tutorials address the most common problems and how to fix them with minimal modification of code.
