I am having trouble with several things in IE with a site I'm working  
on and seek some advice. I'm still grappling with a few areas of css  
so the issues may be simple, but I just can't see them!

Hi Dave,

A couple suggestions for testing and general CSS development. First, download 
IE Tester -- it's a kick butt app for testing IE version 5.5 - 8. Then, 
download the Firebug plugin for Firefox -- it allows you to play around with 
the HTML and CSS right in your browser. 

As a general rule, I develop to Firefox and use conditional comments as IE CSS 
hacks to get things to display properly in IE. Conditional comment CSS hacks 
allow you to target specific versions of IE or all of them at once. Use IE 
Tester to see which versions aren't behaving, then use the IE hacks to target 
the problem areas. 

Just in case some of those links don't work in the message board, here are the 
links I referred to above:

- IE Tester download: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage (it's 
in beta, so there are a couple bugs -- still ~totally~ worth downloading)
- Firebug plugin for FF: http://getfirebug.com/
- Conditional comment CSS IE hacks: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html

I hope that helps!

Kevin
