As a general rule, I seriously suggest NOT using IE to develop with. I suggest using Firefox instead as your main browser. This is not any ideological, anti-Microsoft thing, it's a simple truth that Firefox is CSS compliant and IE isnt. (It's not the only CSS compliant browser, but it's the one I know, which is why I mention it.) Microsoft have acknowledged this too, and their next browser, IE7 will have a standards compliant mode, as I understand it. In case that's not too clear, let me put that another way - Firefox behaves how proper standards-compliant browsers should, and IE doesnt. So ... what experienced CSS developers do, is use Firefox for development (and the toolbars available for developers make many aspects a lot easier too). Get the layout how you want it using Firefox, THEN tweak and hack to get it to behave the same in IE. If you try it the other way around, you'll have a nightmare time trying to force compliant browsers like Firefox to do what IE does. It's possible, but it is a LOT harder.
