Hopefully this wont be much used when IE8 comes. It still makes designers create different pages for different browsers. More work for you guys

Yes, let’s have some high hopes of IE8, but still we need to tweak IE5.5 - IE7.

I’m sure we have at least a couple more years before we can safely stop with the IE hacks. I’ve still got a relatively large number of visitor to my site using 5.5. Sure be nice to see that drop off.

Yes true, but if Microsoft updated IE8 automatically via Windows Update then we don’t have to worry about IE5.5
But anyway we have to maintain “Backward Compatibility” & “Progressive Enhancement” or our site
