Its IE 6.

At this point in time, I've found that Firefox is the most CSS 2 standards
compliant browser.  Ideally if you start a design in Firefox it is much
easier to tweak it into working in IE, then the other way around. When I
build this way, I've noticed that my sites work 100% in all Gecko browsers,
newer Safari, etc.  99% in Opera and about 80-90% in IE (depending on
version).  

Two ways to work with it (both involve writing it correctly for firefox and
then tweaking for IE.). One way to make this easier is to also invoke IE7
(internet extensions 7 by Dean Edwards) to make IE6 more CSS 2 compliant.

Determine where the differences are. 

To feed something only to IE6, use an underscore at the start of the
property, _width:150px will be seen by IE but not other compliant browsers. 

A better way to do it I have found is to use the conditionals that only IE
sees to contain the differences, 
<!--[if IE]>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="assets/css/iecss.css" />
<![endif]-->

Place this at the end of your stylesheet calls so that the ie stuff
overwrites the compliant stuff.

You will still have to figure out the differences and compensate for them.

Subject: Re: Firefox -- HOOKED!

aight, so ive had it installed, and used it sporadically, but ive found that
the css i have working GREAT in IE6 aint jivin' in firefox, well, not 100%,
about 85%.  so i have a question for y'alls firefoxians... 

is it IE6 or is it FireFox?

and then, i guess my next question...  if i get it to render correctly in
fireFox, will it look the same in IE?  

basically, where should my starting point be?
