Hi Georg,
Sorry for this misunderstanding --I didn't mean to group you in any

general, the web standards 'society' regards IE as
Does anyone on this list deliberately force IE6 into quirks mode?
I normally avoid quirks mode, but recently I had a client who insisted on
different coloured scrollbars in different sections of the site.
The demo pages worked straight away, but it took me ages to figure why it
didn't work on

No, only if it's necessary and unavoidable, e.g. in Eric B. Bednarz's

It does take a lot of time to debug for 3 iterations of IE, and if the
only benefit of IE6 standards mode is a fixed box model then it really
is a disservice to paying customers to have an additional layer of CSS

If that _was_ the only difference that caused problems, yes I would go
along with that. You are describing the solution I use
I have forced Quirks mode for certain browsers in the past,
I became quite an involved approach.
My current goal is to use a robust xhtml/css layout and use a minium of

I am inspired by the concept of a sequence of css hacks to deliver
certain styles to certain browsers
