Re: IE v Firefox

> One more thing - why are you using quirks mode?
Because I'm utterly uninterested in trying to figure out what the
dimensions of my panels should be, so I don't ever use any of the
*LayoutPanels.

Every web app I've ever written has had its size dependent upon the
user's input. I can write a lot of code to try to figure out how big
things should be, and then resize everything appropriately, or I can
use Quirks mode and have the Panels do that for me, while I focus on
the issues that are specific to my app.

Which do you think is a better use of my time?

I've never seen an explanation of why the *LayoutPanels are the way
they are (just the bald statement "can't give you Swing like sizing in
Standards mode"), but even if it's a really good reason, it wouldn't
really matter. Because as long as I can simply focus my efforts on
the problems important to me, that's what I'm going to do.
