Skip to comment formWith the news of IE7 somewhere on the horizon, there’s something that all web developers should be aware of if – and it’s a big if, I believe – Microsoft does take the opportunity of updating and fixing the CSS rendering problems with their browser. As Anne van Kesteren points out in his web log, there is a real chance that workarounds developed to deal with IE-specific CSS problems – and by that I mean ‘hacks’, folks – could unravel somewhat. As we’ve pointed out before, though, hacks are a necessary evil but if you do things right, it’s an easy enough problem to sort out should something in the CSS playing field change suddenly.
