White lines (don't don't do it)
Microsoft recently released Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3. Don't install it.
From this comment:
IE 7 still did not correctly implement the box model, positioning, all CSS1, all CSS2, or any CSS3. The same IE-specific parsing bugs for CSS are in place in IE 7.
Writing HTML and adapting designs for Internet Explorer is a total waste of time. You can spend the same amount of time (if not more) porting over the core parts of a design as you do implementing work arounds to non-standards compliance of IE.
As a result of implementing all these workarounds and hacks, you end up with a web site that is "not standards compliant, less accessible and harder to maintain".
Then again, IE7 like everything else from Redmond is delayed. It was anticipated to ship in late 2005.
