I liked what I assume is the standard (blue/white) skin on the forum, but I found the black/red skin much harder on the eye, e.g. under the forums'

I've got to the point where I can implement a complex layout so it works in real browsers, then look at the resulting explosion in IE 6 and work out where to add the necessary fixes in a couple of minutes - it's usually just a sprinkling of zoom: 1; to trigger the hasLayout property on certain containing elements, and the odd display: inline; to fix the 3 pixel text jog on floats.Originally posted by George Parr View Post
I'm no web developer but I'm still trying to get my site, developed in FF, to render properly in IE6. A lot of corporates do still use IE6.
No wonder people still use tables for layout.
My advice is to test continually in IE6 as you go, it is much easier than trying to fix it afterwards.
However I have also gone completely grey during the years it has taken me to learn how to tame IE6. Coincidence? I think not
