			==About==
			[[Microsoft Internet Explorer]] (MSIE) was a proprietary [[web browser]] created by [[Microsoft]] and included with the [[Microsoft Windows]] operating system. In at least some cases, it could not be removed, as its functionality was integrated into the OS.

	~~There are apparently a number~~ of ~~web sites dedicated solely~~ to ~~documenting~~ bugs ~~in MSIE~~, ~~and ways to get around them~~.		It was eventually replaced by [[Microsoft Edge]] and is no longer supported.
			===As of 2007===
			MSIE was, as of 2007, the most popular browser – due largely to its inclusion as part of Windows. Because of this, and despite its many bugs, it was also widely supported by web authors.

	~~Version 7~~, ~~the latest~~, ~~is widely regarded as being~~ a ~~significant improvement over earlier versions, both because~~ of ~~the long-delayed inclusion of [[tabbed browsing]]~~ (a ~~feature supported by [[Firefox]]/[[Mozilla]] for many years prior~~ to ~~MSIE7's release~~) ~~and for having fewer bugs~~.~~{{seedling}}~~		Documentation of bugs in MSIE, and workarounds for same, were a major topic of discussion (including, apparently, a number of web sites dedicated solely to this purpose).

	==~~Notes~~==		Version 7, the latest as of 2007, was widely regarded as being a significant improvement over earlier versions, both because of the long-delayed inclusion of [[tabbed browsing]] (a feature supported by [[Firefox]]/[[Mozilla]] for many years prior to MSIE7's release) and for having fewer bugs.
			===MSIE 6===
	MSIE6 and earlier do not properly display "display:none" [[CSS elements]] in between normal ("display:block") elements. A workaround is to use "position:absolute" and "visibility:hidden" instead, with appropriate left, top, and width attributes to prevent scrollbars for invisible elements.

==Overview==
[[Microsoft Internet Explorer]], or MSIE, is one of the (perhaps the) most popular [[web browser]] due largely to its inclusion in the [[Microsoft Windows]] operating system. Because of this, and despite its many bugs, it is also the browser which is the most widely supported by web sites.

There are apparently a number of web sites dedicated solely to documenting bugs in MSIE, and ways to get around them.

Version 7, the latest, is widely regarded as being a significant improvement over earlier versions, both because of the long-delayed inclusion of [[tabbed browsing]] (a feature supported by [[Firefox]]/[[Mozilla]] for many years prior to MSIE7's release) and for having fewer bugs.{{seedling}}
==Notes==
MSIE6 and earlier do not properly display "display:none" [[CSS elements]] in between normal ("display:block") elements. A workaround is to use "position:absolute" and "visibility:hidden" instead, with appropriate left, top, and width attributes to prevent scrollbars for invisible elements.
