Actually, I think trying to fix IE6 quirks is a good way to understand/learn CSS. For example, using negative margin in IE6 makes you look into position:relative which in turn makes you look into stacking contexts. And hasLayout teaches you a lot about block-formatting contexts. Fixing the double margin bug on a float via display:inline teaches you about "computation". Fixing the italics bug teaches you about "overflow". Using hacks to mimic position:fixed teaches you the difference between background on HTML versus BODY. etc. etc. In short, IE6 taught me more about CSS than any book out there :) -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
