Well, the standard way to hack around IE is with conditional comments. And hopefully everyone has done the right thing and used "if LT IE 7" comments to avoid just this.

I don't think anyone could have predicted MS would ever attempt to become standards compliant.

Um, yeah, that's right. I was totally careful to comply strictly with Microsoft's recommended standards for nonstandard XHTML. Yep. I assure you that I certainly did not use any nonstandard hacks to get IE5 and IE6, the banes of my existence, to work at 3am on the night before the site launched. I swear to god.
Ahem.
On a completely unrelated note: Does anybody know if IE 8 runs in XP under Parallels? I have some websites that I should probably check.
MS updated their ie testing images on Thursday. ie8 + XP happens to be one of them. So I'd assume it'll work under Parallels. You'll have to run them thru Transporter first.
