Hi guys, I have come up against my first ie5 nightmares, do any of
you know some good sites that explain the various hacks in plain
English? I know a few already, like the body {text-align:center;} one
for 5.5, but really I need to know more. From what I understand after
reading some articles by Eric, if you use divs with no borders,
margins or padding, and apply the styling to the contents, you should
get round most of the problems?
That'll get you around the MS-box vs. the W3C-box problems - to a degree.
For some more insight:
<http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html>
<http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/>
My simplest hack is to keep IE6 in quirks mode, as it doesn't have a
real "standard mode" anyway. Then I give IE/win an MS-box and all other
browsers a W3C-box - before I start killing IE/win bugs in a
'conditional commented' stylesheet:
