IE vs The Rest Of The World

You've just gotta love how you can create a web page and in almost EVERY web browser, it just works (so long as you've followed the standards) but with IE, most of the time, it just doesn't. And THEN, (and this is my favourite) it might work in 8, but probably have broken parts in 7 and MORE THAN LIKELY, just be absolutely stuffed in 6.

OK... so here's some of my little tidbits I've found for fixing some web pages in IE.

First off, Version 6.
1. Setting a height of 100% just WILL NOT WORK, unless you set the height of the parent div.
2. Remember, png's aren't supported until version 7. You will need to use something like a "iepngfix.htc" file to fix this issue.
3. position:fixed doesn't work. AT ALL. The work around here is to use an absolute.

Version 7.
1. clear:both doesn't work. The best solution is to set a min-height in the div BEFORE where the clear:both is called.
