Why does my page look ugly in IE but okey in rest of browsers?

Thanks for info, I didn't know that. I'll take this into account.

Wrong. Yes it is singlethreaded but wonce you click ok the code execution continues.

 

Ah, yes- just a clarification: in italics

 

The reason your code sample doesn't reach the second alert is because alert() is blocking the other elements from javascript manipulation in the other browsers. Javascript is singlethreaded. Alert() stops javascript in its tracks, and will not resume with interacting with DOM elements until you close the alert box. It just may be that FF is doing a little more than the other browsers the microseconds before firing the alert() function. Replace alert() with console.log() and compare the difference.

Thanks for that clarification. That italic text also highlighted the idea console.log() which I missed before for some reason. Actually I didn't know about that possibility.
