One of my fears about Yahoo losing the shareholder battle to M$ is that MSIE will become even more dominant, despite the fact that it's a crappy browser and hard to program (well at least for a linux dude like myself :p). But the main thing I want to share is a few tips on some of the horrible excursions I dealt with in MSIE:
Float and the Double Margin Bug
Apparently, MSIE suffers from a nasty little bug where if you float an element and provide a margin, MSIE will double the size of the margin either left or right. To counter it, you need to add:
display: inline (or block)
for your class that you're employing the float. There's a lot of resources on the web for why this occurs as well as more details on this.
Next, there's another annoying bug that I encountered and spent hours knocking my head against my table (okay, not literally). It's where backgrounds disappear if you have numerous div tags and use the background-color attribute. The quick fix is to trick MSIE into redrawing the section, so you add a height attribute of say 1%. The code would look like this:
height: 1%;
Put that in the class that has the background-color attribute and these should disappear.
