I'm working on my own ASP Forum system...but that's besides the point. I am doing my best to code it in as much a cross-browser layout as possible. Well, I'm using as little table's as possible, and doing my best to only use DIV's. Well here's the problem:
On the forum page, the borders to not align up between the opening DIV and the table for the information. Anyone have any ideas? In IE they align on the left, but not the right. In FF they don't align on either side.
Why the start menu gets so much attention on windows is beyond me. It designed to make windows accessible to everyone , from a complete novice to a power user. Hooray if you use the start menu, and Hooray if you don't
It's iconic and a useful accessible place to see all your apps. That was its core goal, and it still delivers that today, in arguably a much simpler, easier to manage way than in years gone by.
I think the key thing to note is MacOS has the Launcher, a place where all apps are listed. Prior to that, a list of apps were only accessible via Finder Apps folder, and the dock was auto populated as apps were installed. With the upcoming MacOS 26? release it looks like Launcher is becoming more menu like, rather than full screen, which I think shows how useful such a feature actually is.
At the end of the day, the vast majority of users will rely on the Start Menu for accessing their apps. While there are many other ways to go about it, it's actually a very well designed, simple, yet feature rich menu (obviously with some issues) that make using a computer so damn simple. And that's why Microsoft needs it, because Windows isn't Linux.

Here's the CSS:
And here's the ASP page:
Below are pictures of the pages and what's happening in each browser, first in Firefox, and next in IE.
