One technique that I use (when I have to) is this:
/* begin box model hack */
height: 262px !important;
height: 261px;
height/**/:/**/261px;
/* end hack */
Basically, Gecko based browsers will use the first value, IE 5.x/Win will apply the
second value and IE 6/Win will apply the last value.
More hacks to differentiate between IE and gecko bases browsers can be found at:
