DIE IE DIE (by which I mean 'the IE the')

Ok so it turns out the last pretty layout is scuppered because IE doesn't support negative margins correctly. Thats what I get for using the fox + safari.

Reading the long lists of similar pitfalls on position is everything doesn't make me any happier. Will noone rid me of this troublesome browser? I read the internet explorer team chat the other day, I think this question was the best:

Dave_MS : Smithee : Dave_MS: Firefox is pretty good though, would you ever consider lending out those kind of parts, if the competition was superior and your resources could be better directed elsewhere?

The answer was of course 'no' but you have to wonder why not, when all the work has been done and it could've just been a drop-in for XPSP2.
