The IE7 Myth
,----[ Quote ]
| Any sane designer these days will design for the standards-compliant
| browsers like Firefox and then sprinkle on CSS hacks to make it work in
| IE6. The very nature of these hacks is that they are invalid CSS, which
| only IE6 considers valid (e.g. a { _display: none; }).
| Standards-compliant browsers ignore invalid CSS rules (as specified in
| the specs), so the hacks have no effect on them.

| So, whether intentional or not, Microsoft has been flat out lying. And
| by doing so they're shifting the blame for their screw-ups to the same
| designers they've been torturing for years.
|
| Well, I'm tired of taking the blame: my design works fine in those
| programs that are worthy of the name browser.
