Fri, 30 Jun 2006 IE CSS height element bug
Dont forget the IE CSS height bug.
If you specify an element of less than 10 pixels IE wont resize below this.
The way round this is to add overflow: hidden to your css allowing IE to resize to your specific dimension.
Thu, 01 Jun 2006 Specifying IE specific code
A useful in the transition from IE6 to IE7, and in overcoming the bugs in pre IE7
<!--[if IE 6]>
<link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css"
href="styles/hacked.css">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>
<link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css"
href="styles/correct.css">
<![endif]-->
<![if !IE]>
<link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css"
href="styles/correct.css">
<![endif]>
This code only works in IE other browsers ignore it so we can target specific IE browsers.

Wed, 10 May 2006 Internet Explorer, Runtime Error R6025 virtual Function call.
This CSS worked fine in other browsers but crashed IE.
#nav2{
width: 135px;
margin-top: 10px;
float: right;
}
#nav2 p {
width: 135px;
float: right;
height: 20px;
color: #666666;
font: 10px arial;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: right;
margin: 5px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
The problem was the float right in the p. This doesnt explain why it happen but it may help you to troubleshoot any problems you may have.
