I second these techniques. I use bg colours as well and invalidate CSS by putting an "x" in front of the rule, e.g. xmargin:2em; which has the same effect Georg described. There's also a couple of standard IE bandaids, i.e. "height:1%" to give the element layout, "position:relative" and "display:inline" (for double-margin bug on floats), sometimes also "float:none". I found it most rewarding to develop in parallel. I usually complete one element and immediately test in IE6 and IE7. This prevents you from having interrelated IE issues. Google "IETester" for a good app to install both on the same machine. Rarely do I need to amend for Safari (PC) or Opera.
