[TYPO3-core] RFC: Bug #7388: CSS Gremlins

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Ingo,

sorry, this is not true. Attached is a screenshot before and after 
applying the patch and thus, the ugly default styling comes back. This 
behaviour is in IE + FF.

As much as I like pimping the BE so that it looks cool in FF + Safari, 
we really should also focus on our main users. I mean: Sure, we can make 
it so it looks nice in OUR browsers but my clients all use IE 6+7 and if 
the BE does not work there anymore, they cannot use it anymore (and no, 
they do not upgrade to another browser), so I think we should treat the 
majority of our target group (probably around 60-70% with IE) at least 
as much as our own wishes.

I know IE CSSing sucks, but we can't change all people using IE on our own.

Funny story: I had to install XWiki (Java-based wiki) for a client last 
month. It turns out that there are three skins coming with the package 
and no single one is soo stable that it looks good in IE and FF, which 
is hard but not too hard to make. So the devs there did not care at all 
how it looks in other browsers (they probably tested it with Mozilla 6 
or so) and I had to write a new skin almost from scratch to make it work 
for my client. To me it really is unprofessional having a good group of 
devs delivering such a untested package. Anyway, I just don't want us to 
grow in the same direction (I know we don't :)).
