Salt & Battery Comics

Div tags aren’t so bad once you get used to them. Like any small animal or younger sibling, you just have to treat them nicely and they’ll repay the favor in kind. Unfortunately, it isn’t always the most intuitive to figure out exactly what your div tag’s specific CSS needs are, and so you can easily run afoul of your div tag. When this happens, look forward to coming home to ruined furniture, broken websites and navigation, and poop where poop was never meant to go.

Some browsers will offer to take care of this mess for you by kindly sweeping it all under the rug, and forgiving you your transgressions. However, you never learn this way what kind of attention your div tag truly requires, and are doomed to repeat your mistakes. Who really wins here? You certainly don’t because you never learn. Your poor div tag doesn’t get the care it deserves, and your goodly browser gets a bad rap for being too soft on terrorism.

Speaking of soft on terrorism, I’ve been having one hell of a time trying to figure out why exactly Internet Explorer 7 was randomly causing all of my blog to be hidden – until I moused over my comic navigation.  Stranger things have happened, sure, but I just want my wonderful writings to be accessible. Is that too much to ask? Well after hours of tears and toil, I think I finally found the culprit: I didn’t declare a width for the two div tags which enclosed my comic and its navigation. I still have no idea why such an error was causing that strange effect, but for now I believe the issue is fixed. If you’re reading this with no problems then I think I rest my case.
