Browser Bugs
CSS is the best way to format Web pages, and Internet Explorer 6 for Windows is the world's most popular browser…so why doesn't IE 6 do a better job displaying CSS? That's a question for the ages, but one thing's for sure: You'd be holding a thinner book if it didn't have to devote so much paper to IE workarounds. (And the following Web sites would go out of business.)
Windows Internet Explorer
How to Attack an Internet Explorer (Win) Display Bug: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=1&cid=C37E0. A great introduction to debugging Internet Explorer CSS problems.
RichInStyle's guide to IE 5/5.5 Bugs: http://www.richinstyle.com/bugs/ie5.html. That pesky browser is still around, and still causing Web designers trouble. If you need help making your pages work for IE 5, check this page out.
Explorer Exposed! http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html. Information on the most common Internet Explorer bugs and how to fix them.
Mac Internet Explorer 5
Mac IE 5: Problems with CSS Rendering: http://www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests. This book doesn't cover Internet Explorer 5 for the Mac, since it's just about a dead browser. Microsoft is no longer updating it or even providing technical support, giving Mac fans a perfect excuse to switch to the superior Safari and Firefox browsers. However, if you still need to accommodate IE 5 for the Mac, check out this site for helpful tips on Mac IE-only CSS bugs.
