Quite a compelling reason as to why Internet Explorer is teh_stupiderer.
What is it? Position something absolutely, float something inside it and poof, seemingly random chunks of your content are belong to the void until you click, select or otherwise massage the seemingly blank area, or one nearby.

Doesn’t it just make you want to stab yourself in the eye with a fork?
