Not an expert in css but one thing I keep reading is how bad IE is at css standards, so I would not go by IE as the standard of what is right.
What I have learnt about css I learnt from getting a tool like: http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html There is a collection of useful utilites there, like "View Style Sheets" which you can use to look at any web site's style sheets and see how they do it. Also the Googlepages online editor is good in providing sample style sheets, complete with comments on hacks to make the styles work in the different browsers. Also the Google Web Toolkit may be worth a look, as it is coded so to be not affected by which browser you use.
