Deb,
Personally I would recommend *against* using hacks at all. Conditional
Comments and behaviors should be able to get you past the really
problematic IE issues.
In my experience many of the "compatibility issues" across browsers is
caused by the lack of complete CSS standards support in current
browsers. In these cases many layout issues can actually be solved by
using a table or two in your layout. Trying to force CSS standards on
browsers that were not originally designed with them as a high priority
using hacks is a worse practice, in my opinion, then using a few layout
tables.
This is generally regarded as a *bad* thing because "tables are for
tabular data only" but the fact of the matter remains that they do
*work* and are generally rendered close to the same way across browsers
common browsers.

Ok, this is my next question in my learning quest.
To use hacks or not to use hacks.
There are so many of them out there that it is a bit confusing. And with so
many to learn it gets a bit frustrating.
How do you remember all of them? do you keep a cheat sheet near you?
My mind is sort of boggled right now with so much reading etc.. So any links
that could be provided, that really explain things good, would be so
appreciated.
