It was quite (painful but) interesting. Just to mention a problem I had, I was struggling with Internet Explorer when I discovered that it had a problem with Javascript&#8217;s array method indexOf(), which I had to create with &#8220;protoype&#8221; just for IE since it works well in Firefox. And of course making a website look good (and yes I do use CSS) in IE, Firefox and Opera at the same time can be a pain. If Firefox&#8217;s Firebug extension didn&#8217;t exist I think I would have never completed that website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you might already know, the latest release of the Nvidia driver includes the CUDA driver.
