    This is the css that was included in a template I started learning from:

    /* Here is the ugly brilliant hack that protects IE5/Win from its own stupidity.
    Thanks to Tantek Celik for the hack and to Eric Costello for publicizing it.
    IE5/Win incorrectly parses the "\"}"" value, prematurely closing the style
    declaration. The incorrect IE5/Win value is above, while the correct value is
    below. See http://glish.com/css/hacks.asp for details. */
    voice-family: "\"}\"";
    voice-family:inherit;
    height:14px; /* the correct height */
    }
    /* I've heard this called the "be nice to Opera 5" rule. Basically, it feeds correct
    length values to user agents that exhibit the parsing error exploited above yet get
    the CSS box model right and understand the CSS2 parent-child selector. ALWAYS include
    a "be nice to Opera 5" rule every time you use the Tantek Celik hack (above). */
    body>#Header {height:14px;}
