I'm sure this is going to be seriously old hat for a lot of you guys out there but I gotta ask anyway.
IE and CSS. Why, for the love of God why?!
I am being tortured by IE's lack of adherance to standards. What are some of the best resrouces for solutions to some of the most common problems (float issues etc etc) encountered here.

I try hard for hours and hours (and possibly days) and then just give up. Screw those IE users.

^ Usually I can fix the problems though. It's just a pain in the ass.

a problem i keep having is that MFing IE keep adding space in things even when the padding/margin is clearly set to 0. it looks fine on Firefox. i looked it up but most common problem was with lists. i am not even using a list but there is still extra space. it has me stumped.

At work, we're just getting into CSS. Using it in the right way. But IE is really hard to capture...

Hah as much as I would love to ignore IE the unfortunate reality is the majority of users out there use it and my clients would get a little pissed if there site didn't work in IE. And then I wouldn't get paid. And then I'd cry.
I've noddled around and found some solutions to certain problems but they always feel like a workaround hack. Is there any actual resource on how to modify CSS to work with IE?
iwlyfel if there ain't and you can make one go for it. The world needs it.
The last issue that was specifically driving me nuts was a question fo using floats. I would wrap a number of divs in a countainer div. Set all the interior divs to a specific width and height and set their float to left in order to get a simple table style layout. For whatever reason IE would not have them all line up horizontally.
Sounds like a reallyt simple issue but its driving me crazy. Any suggestions?

www.positioniseverything.net is a great resource when it comes to explaining css bugs in modern browsers. They also have a great Internet Explorer page (http://www.positioniseverything... that lists all the known bugs and the fixes.

I have this problem (maybe a stupid question):
My background image needs to repeat horizontally (repeat-x) only at 50% of the screen (the left side).
The content of the site is centered and i need a little bg image at the left (not the right)

This is the site i'm working on http://mirjamveldman.nl/test/ the little white line is a bg image, in the center of the site it's a 2px border.
It only has to appear at the left, not the right...
I don't know what to change to fix it
