Well, use the usual browser hacks that you can find on sites like positioniseverything.net.

A good Selenium test suite may help as well because you can run automated tests to your project on pretty much every browser that is installed on your system. So if you have a couple of test machines (running some different versions of Windows with IE 5 .5/6.0/7.0, FF 1 .0/1.5/2.0/3.0 and Safari; Linux with FF and Konqueror; Mac OS X with FF ans Safari), you should be on the safe side. Of course, if you have only one test machine, virtualization (e.g. with Parallels in Mac OS X or VirtualBox on Windows) is the key.

What a lame answer. Whether any of us like it or not (I’m primarily a Mac user but run Win to game and for run audio soft…) IE is and will be the bulk of the Web-browsing population’s browser for a while. Firefox has made huge strides, Saf may make some headway in Win, but IE is built in. It has an edge. Many Federal employees are locked into using it because their IT staff can officially support it and not FF. There are plenty of reasons behind it. But plain and simple: It aint going nowhere.

So get over it and try and make things work as best you can for at least the popular browsers and W3C -compliants, without bending over backwards.

But maybe this question was rhetorical anyway. What do I know? If there is a serious question, maybe I can help.

Peace.
