Web application development is not for the faint in heart

One of my greatest challenges in designing a site is ensuring that it looks exaclty alike when viewed on different browsers. You would be surprised how different browsers interprete the same codes. I guess thats why some people shy away from javascript and other client-side languages 'cos they can be unpredictable. For instance, I used the marquee tag to create a scrolling message on www.dailysoccergist.com only to discover that Internet Explorer 8 (the newest browser from Microsoft's desk or so I think) turns the scrolling message into something else. After some minutes searching the net and brain storming, I came up (actually edited some codes I saw from the net) with a javascript solution that should work across all browsers. That took me a little above 2 hours to accomplish. What can I say... I enjoy the work, but it can be frustrating at times. Atleast there is now a cool feauture. The scrolling messages pause when you place your pointer on them (oh goody!)

If you wanna go into web designing, I hope you are very patient 'cos that would be your greatest asset (asides your creativity and other stuff)
