Internet Explorer, How do I loathe thee?
\nLet me count the ways.<\/h2>\n

As stated on the w3schools website,<\/p>\n

[quote]The values “inline-table”, “run-in”, “table”, “table-caption”, “table-cell”, “table-column”, “table-column-group”, “table-row”, “table-row-group”, and “inherit” is not supported in IE7 and earlier. IE8 requires a !DOCTYPE. IE9 supports the values.[\/quote]<\/p>\n

I had a project where I needed to create a photo gallery. \u00a0The goal was to get the gallery to look like iStockPhoto<\/a> with the images all bottom-aligned, evenly spaced, etc, etc. \u00a0Well in creating the gallery I had a hard time aligning the photos on the bottom, so I took a look at how istock did it. \u00a0They use “table-cell” display option and vertically align the image to the bottom. \u00a0So I tried it, but soon found that Internet Explorer does not support that option. \u00a0And then I found that istock was no exception.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/dt>\n
iStock with IE<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Solution:<\/h2>\n

I did not personally do this solution as this was not too important. \u00a0However someone on Stack Overflow<\/a> seems to have solved it with jQuery:<\/p>\n

$(document).ready(function(){\n  if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == 7)\n  {\n    $(\".tablecell\").wrap(\"<td \/>\");\n    $(\".tablerow\").wrap(\"<tr \/>\");\n    $(\".table\").wrapInner(\"<table \/>\");\n  }\n});<\/pre>\n
the above script assumes you have divs using style such as:<\/p>\n
<style>\n.table     { display: table; }\n.tablerow  { display: table-row; }\n.tablecell { display: table-cell; }\n<\/style><\/pre>\n
