I calculated that I lose at least an hour a month to deal with IE related issues (that means that I lose a day of my life in two years – A DAY). So I think IE shouldn’t exist (none of them, not IE6..not IE8).

EDIT: I’ve seen that a lot of people have misunderstood what I say here. I don’t want IE to exist ANYMORE, not to never have existed.

I have recently made a jQuery plugin that customizes the way HTML select boxes look and act. What is different from all the other plugins is that it replaces the select with very simple HTML code and plus (by default – but can be modified by adding a parameter) it can view as a select on the iphone or ipad. So, it looks great on the computer and normal on the iphone/ipad (it can look customized on that as well, but for usability purposes I reccomend you leave it like this).

An example is here: http://www.mbe.ro/wp-content/uploads/replace_selects/

The plugin’s google code page is here: http://code.google.com/p/jqueryreplaceselects/.

And the download (from gcode) is here: http://jqueryreplaceselects.googlecode.com/files/select_replacement.zip
