Heh, exactly. That's why hacks, in general, are a bad idea. More
headaches for developers when future releases happen... whether that be
the browser devs or the web devs!
Personally I just try to rework the way I am implementing something
until it is cross-browser without hacks.
But perhaps the wide spread use of hacks is because everyone wants to
design new-spec sites with pure CSS for browsers that were designed to
accomodate classic table-based layouts. Yet we all flinch at the idea
of using the browser the way the browser makers originally
intended/expected!
This isn't to say I am *for* using table based layouts, because I'm
not. I'm just suggesting that perhaps we "want our cake and eat it too"
in the sense that we want the new standards but don't want to accept
that many browsers just don't handle them well. Rather then do what
they do handle well, we try to hack stuff up.
A thought, at least.
Regards,
Hao

Well, it's fixed right now, but may not stay that way, according to
that comment. Either way, we all need to reevaluate our IE hacks and
take the time to clean them up now.
I can hear all the non-hack people laughing at us now... ;-)
