I use two sheets, one for positioning and one for colors.

I try very hard to not have to accomodate IE, but sometimes, because
that's what the boss uses, I have to. I was quite happy to put a few
hacks in for IE, and commented them for future reference.

Good thing I did that. About a week ago, the boss installed IE7, so the
nice hacks were not applicable. So far, they haven't thrown any real
bugs/errors. Of course, IE7 has its own little problems.

But, who knows, when IE7 goes out of beta, perhaps those nice little
hacks won't be ignored and do something nasty.

This is getting ridiculous - it reminds me of the old days when people
where writing for Netscape 4.

My advice to you is to comment the file well. That way you won't have
too many surprises.
