OMG I am not alone.
HTML/CSS is a Hackers Dream. You keep hacking away at it until it works in your browser.
Then you repeat it for the various other browsers. Then you go on a shooting spree when the
first Mobile user hits the page, LOL.
I used to design every web page INSIDE of a <table>. I got lots of crap over it.
But guess what? I could get things to line up, and I could easily push back and say "Nope,
can't do that, how about this?"
But HTML Fixed (broke) all of that with DIVs that NEVER seem to align properly.
And then doing it with indirection... It reminds me of the Robin Williams Rant on Golf!
We write simple HTML.
Q: Using HTML
No. Using a completely different language, with no understanding of HTML. (Laughing starts)
Q: Oh to make it easier
No. To make you have to compile it, and then test it, and NEVER quite know what is wrong.
Q: But once you are done, you are good
NO. Because you have to test every browser... (Stronger Laughter)
Q: Then you are good
NO. Because you have to check mobile, and iPads
Q: Finally good?
NOPE. Because the browsers will get updated, and the standards will change and break things.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

That's messed up (literally)

You actually said too much. You could have stopped at just "IE8", or even "IE", and we all would have known your plight.

Come on! You are doing it for less then a year!!! I do web for almost 20 years - try IE6 or Netscape Navigator and you will find IE8 a nice guy 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Little longer than that. And I miss the good old WinForm days. WinForms, for UI development that just works

And Edge is the new IE

YOU can help phasing out IE8! If everyone stops supporting it, web users will be more inclined not to use a browser which makes all web sites look broken.

I guess if I stop supporting IE8 my employer will stop supporting my bank account...

Well, so IE8 does you good afterall, in increases the amount of work you get paid for.

Why not try Sharepoint development - it's all the joy of HTML/CSS/Javascript + ASP.NET with Sharepoint on top.

Really glad to see this post. I'm a self learner without a lot of skills. OK, I've been working with HTML/CSS for a while now and when they didn't work as advertized I kept wondering "what am I doing wrong!" Now I understand from the experts where the problems lie: These things simply don't work as advertized.
