If you can, avoid complex or detailed CSS stuff, because the simpler, older stuff is better supported across the board. When that's not possible, make a couple breakpoints in browser market and develop a single stylesheet for each block of browsers. Depending on your site, an IE block and an 'everything else' block might be enough. Or IE4, IE5, IE6, NS4, NS6+, and 'other' might be more appropriate. Then use browser sniffing to determine which style sheet to link to:
<cfif cgi.http_user_agent CONTAINS "MSIE"> <link href="style/ie.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <cfelse> <link href="style/other.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </cfif> All that work is pretty simple, as long as you keep everything in your stylesheets, and don't do anything at the page level, or inline, which you usually shouldn't do anyway. And the vast majority of it can be done by the designer (using multiple browsers/machines), not the developer, assuming you aren't doing both jobs ;).
