Design breaking in IE

For some reason, some unfathomable reason, no matter how hard I try I cannot keep even a simple hand coded website centered in IE. It starts off fine, but then at some point in the CSS writing process it breaks, and I never notice it when it happens, so I don’t know exactly what is going on. I really don’t feel like turning off css line by line to fix it when all I gotta do in wrap the whole damned thing in a <center> tag to make IE re-behave. It’s irritating, but perfectly par for course, that after 20 years (yeah, it was MOSAIC before it was IE) IE still doesn’t work right. Bad enough that stylizer’s been crashing left and right when using anything involving their new features. At least sometimes you can save post-crash (best but weirdest feature i’ve ever seen) so you at least don’t lose you last 5 seconds of work (because we all manically click-save due to our scarring at the horrors of lost work) but it’s still kinda irritating. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? Works fine in every other web rendering engine I’ve used, including my fucking phone. Ah well, at least WordPress does it right, so I don’t have to worry about that when working on a proper site, just the little hand-coders (tho I’m working on moving them to CMSes, it’s too easy not to). Really, anything that handles the HTML for you and doesn’t break IE when you add an extra div or ten is just A-okay in my book.

And hey, at least IE does it way better than Dreamweaver’s built in HTML renderer. Whoo.
