IE workarounds

[snappy]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a resource that gives the most common issues with IE and the workarounds for them in a ie.only stylesheet?

A simple thing for a simple mind perhaps?

Suggest you have a look on Google and pick and chooses as required.

Also, don't always assume that a hack/workaround is the only answer. SOmetines you just have to find a different solution.

The thing to do rather than using 'css hacks' for IE is to place alternative css atibut values in a seperate stylesheet and link it in to your pages after your normal style sheet. That way values in the IE only file will override those in the normal file.

This is the method to use:

Code: Select all

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" href="ieonly.css" />
<![endif]-->

Note that this is also the Microsoft recommended method as it will stop you suddenly running in to trouble when IE 7 comes on stream, where, hopefully most of the common problems have been sorted out.
