Force IE to bow to your CSS
hacks
I've found myself mentioning this to a number of people since I found out about it. There's a nifty little script that you can use that will rewrite IE's DOM so that you don't have to hack away making CSS compatible. From the J-School's Scot Hacker, who has the coolest name for a geek ("CSS Compatibility in MSIE"):
Don't hack your CSS trying to make MSIE behave -- force the perp into compliance instead, with Dean Edwards' (unfortunately named) IE7. Uses JavaScript to detect MSIE and tweak its DOM to act as though it had a clue. Not only a great solution for developers currently struggling to create clean code, but also future-proof: When/if MSIE7 gets on-board, developers won't have to un-do the hacks they've done.
