PWNED!!11!1 :)
So yeah, this is a day to remember: I screwed up a practice for the trainees :)
A stupid, innocent little mistake, really: In order to make them play with CSS filter hacks, I made a practice XHTML file that they needed to style in certain ways in certain browsers. I mixed up the conditions a little to get a fresh test case for them, and made the following mistake:
"I want my text to blink in Internet Explorer 6 and Opera. In the rest of the browsers it will be nice and quiet"
…and that's not possible. IE6 doesn't support
That was a damning moment right there :)

text-decoration: blink;. I should have noticed that slip-up while rearranging the conditions in the page, but I didn't. The trainees found it staring at them like a bleeding carcass.That was a damning moment right there :)

When I posted that slide, they burst out in laughter, loud jeers and some breathed more easily because they were the ones who got stuck on this part. It was very late in the practice (test seven out of nine), so I was pretty much at the ends of my dignity then :)
(also you're a Flash developer. You wouldn't know a CSS problem if it bit you in the rear and gave you dysentery ;))
