    sorry fusionpixel, this is just my opinion...

    don't get into thinking that you need to 'hack' your code or css for IE. there are no css 'hacks' (well, there is one which i'll mention in a bit). the simple fact is that if you write your css properly it will work across all standards compatable browsers. end of story. of course there is a few stupid things (like Safari won't accept css styling of form elements), but 99.9% of cross browser css is just writing good css.

    the only 'hack' you need to use is the box model hack, which to be fair is just because there are two theories on how padding and borders should be applied to block elements.

    and as for fusionpixel's advice for building - anyone who builds for one browser then starts messing with a complete site to make it look good elsewhere is wasting lots of time and effort, and is not a true developer. its's not about crow barring you site into a browser, it's about using standards code for standards browsers.
