this is all i've got on them for online resources for stuff like this.
 this bug pisses me off more than any other bug ie has, believe it or
not.  i can't believe how limiting it is.

if you're interested in the corresponding bug reports submitted for
ie7 and have signed up to their "connect" site, here's some relevant
links.

as to workaround i've personally used, it's ugly/stupid and not all
that useful.  let's say i have something like the following:
<body class="default">
<div class="series expanded">
</div>
</body>

in my css then i have:
.series.expanded {
        border: 1px solid #77aaee;
        }

        /* ie6 \*/
        * html .default div.expanded {
                background: #f6f9fe;
                border: 1px solid #77aaee;
                padding-top: 0;
                }/* */

i know it's primative and almost useless, and it for sure won't work
in every situation.  it limps ie6 along with me though until i can
delete the ie6 code forever once it's finally dead.  if anyone wants
to jump in with a better workaround i'm *more* than willing to change
my hacking, but if you don't have a better/different way, there's no
need to tell me how stupid my workaround is.  trust me i already know.

anyway, that's all i have.  i look forward to seeing what other people do.
