Aside from MSIE, how do you do this? You can use the MS-proprietary commented "if" statements to provide alternate markup for various versions of IE, which is useful for making up for IE's inability to do things right, but what about Opera? Safari? Firefox pre-3.0? Is there a straightforward way, aside from a JavaScript user agent checker, to provide the different browsers different style info (or markup)? >I'm in total agreement, apart from that then you don't have to _design_ >to the "lowest common denominator".

That's pretty much how I do it, too - I design using both Firefox and the W3C validators to test, and then check out in IE6 and 7. I suppose I should install Opera and Safari, too, but I just haven't bothered (and at least Opera is good enough with standards compliance that I wouldn't expect anything I'd be doing would break it. As a Windows user, Safari wasn't even a possibility until recently).
