Stupid browser differences

[TopBanana]

I feel the need to vent my frustration at the fact that you work out how to do something cool on a website, then you check it in another browser and it doesn't work at all :bang:
The webkit tools are brilliant in Chrome, but do they work anywhere else - oh no that would be too helpful :bang:

Why is getting a website to look the same on all browsers so difficult? :shrug:
And why doesn't everyone just use Chrome

its not that hard to be honest unless youre using scripts that havent been coded to work with all up to date browsers.

oh and chrome sucks..

Even relatively simple things like box-shadow require three lines of code to catch different browsers, e.g.
-moz-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888;

I guess that the main problems are when you're using more recent CSS developments.

I bet HTML tables work the same on all browsers, lol.
