Woops, I typed too quickly


IE does support Descendant Selectors (thank goodness), but doesn't support
the other selectors (including attribute selectors which rock)

Well if you aren't using descendant, adjacent sibling or child selectors
(which are very powerful and which IE doesn't support without IE7) and if
you want to do CSS menus that don't require _javascript_ but do require that
you be allowed to use the :hover psuedo element on anything but an <a href>
tag.  Then yes, IE is fine and will probably work with other items.  


However, if you want to get away from using a class for everything and want
to take advantage of Semantic markup, and you want to be able to take
advantage of more of CSS 2 than IE will support (again IE7 does help
immensely in that), then I stand by my prior statement.

I know you guys all hate IE ... But aside from ONE site and one site
only - we've never had a problem developing for IE - then testing on
other browsers.
Perhaps we don't do anything difficult - but I like our track record.

Perhaps we just know what we are doing too ... ?

Cheers,
Erika
