Sorry to burst your bubble, but if iyou intend to be a serious web developer then IE is the first browser you should aim to get perfect.

I strongly disagree with this advice. It's more important to get the underlying code right, and then address any browser discrepancies. As a web developer, I prefer FireFox, as the most standards-compliant browser.

Once I have the code right, with the page displaying correctly in FireFox, and validated against the w3c.org validators, then and only then will I test/fix IE.

Starting by getting things to "look right" in IE will lead to buggy code and extreme maintenance issues down the road.
