Internet Explorer Bugs

While I was working on creating this new website, I was again reminded of all the frustration caused by Internet Explorer. It has numerous CSS bugs that sometimes make you pull your hair out. You design a website to perfection in a CSS-savy Firefox, but when you test your website in another browser (as all web designers should do) it looks beyond awful. Your DIVs have a 3px gap, or worse it has doubled the margin it should.

I have found out by doing a few website by now, that the best way to approach this is to design your site in Firefox using a couple great extensions (Firebug and Web Developer Toolbar) and as your doing this apply CSS hacks(* html) to get IE to behave properly.
