Sometimes I come across a bug (usually in internet explorer) that just makes me gasp at how horribly something can go wrong simply because the browser was poorly implemented.  This week that honor once again goes to IE.  Below, you will see a couple screen captures of the exact same browser content as rendered in Chrome (on the left) vs. IE (on the right).

This week I have been stressing about embedding videos in HTML 5 using a cross-browser compatible solution that conforms to the latest mark-up guidelines.  After looking around at multiple resources, it became apparent that the current browser usage patterns require at least one fallback option in order to include all the different mobile devices, and older browsers still in use by a large segment of the population.
