Microsoft Explorer

  • IE6 does not handle errors in the same way as older versions - the issue is usually in the doctype (same as n6/mozilla) - removing the doctype putting the browser into "quirks" mode might resolve some things. Explorer 6 also has a quirks mode related to docytpe - for known bugs see below or css doctype issues
  • Mystery Space or Carriage Returns - its the white space - remove it - Maxdesign.com.au - Examples
  • <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">  apparently turns of ie6 image tool bar "feature"
  • <meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">   to turn off "smart tags"
  • Use "Conditional Statments" to hide scroll bar css from validators - <!--[if IE]> styles here <![endif]-->

Why IE's handling of underscore in class name was faulty in a W3c® errata dated 2001/04/04 09:36:05 (when was it that css2 went final? valuable site) the long standing error of using _ was changed - some browsers respecting the old rule still have to change, other finished products never will.
Eric Meyer on why _ is still bad idea
