The good news…IE 7 sticks to the CSS rules pretty well as does firefox. The bad news, IE6 is a dog on CSS compatability.
Having looked through my logs its clear that users arent migrating the new imporved IE7 like they should. So when you build a site, annoyingly , you have to factor in the laggers.

To help you get around this pain in the neck situation, you need to see your site in development on IE6 - the problem is that Microsoft don’t let you run the ie7 +6 side by side unless…. you have a standalone version of IE6
