As a front end coder - the nuances of browsers and the love of resolutions and operating systems, makes the daily battle...a war zone. In todays battle of filter opacity issues I was digging for the best fit or fix and stumbled upon this great post over at stylizedweb written in the post called 10 best CSS hacks. I highly recommend it as it has some beauties that I have scoured the internet for from time to time. Enjoy

Everyone doesn't want to put in Hacks, I agree they are bad for your health and are only put in place so that you can return to it later and curse yourself for ever using it....

BUT

Sometimes you need Internet EXploder to listen to you so....

write out the rules like this to target IE6 or IE7 respectively without the use of conditional statements.

/* the following rules applies only to IE6 */

* html{}
* html body{}
* html .aighyt{}

Only for IE7

/* this rule only applies to IE7 */
*+html .aighyt{}

This goes out to all developers that have to support multiple instances of Internet Explorer. I located a tool made by Core Services. This group has made two tools that I will definitely be using more often. This has incredible features to view a website in different rendering versions in different tabs as well as the closest toolbar I have seen comparable to Mozilla's Firefox web developer toolbar.

Check it out! - You wont be disappointed.
