I've been doing a bit for simple web development for a web design class I'm taking. It's been years since I did anything like this and while I'm enjoying all the modern goodness of HTML5 and CSS3 one thing doesn't seem to have changed. The need to write for exceptions in Internet Explorer. It's not that IE9 hasn't implemented curtain features, it's just that it does it a different way from Firefox and webkit based browsers. I believe IE has come a long way or so the media and pundits say, however the ability to write a web page with the same code for all browsers is still not a reality. Maybe my expectations are unrealistic but it appears IE has a lot of catching up to do.
