All your base are belong to Firefox

One of the more beautiful early consequences of bad planning in CSS is that trainees make beginners' mistakes. Like trying to amend for default margins with absolute positioning and negative margins for child elements of those that cause the margin to begin with.

However, one of the guys managed to present me with a wonderful challenge I've yet to replicate: he managed to use the following element:


<base href="/" />


Yet he managed to make this work on a mini-site while navigating on his local filesystem and only found out he was in trouble when he looked in IE6. It's nice to be subjected to insanity like this. Trainers really should be more fallible :)
