IE6 issues – Learnings at Tacit

A couple of new web learnings at Tacit-

1. For IE6 issues, instead of using hacks(* or _), put the differential code for iE6,
as is given by Microsoft.

<!–[if IE 6]>
<style>
#selector,
#shield { position:absolute; }
</style>
<![endif]–>

3. “Float” does not work nicely in IE6. We need to put some workarounds for that.

4. For a check-box, you should have either checked=true or nothing at all. Having checked =false does not work in many situations

5. IE6 does not understand “position:fixed”. As a workaround, you have to play with the z-index of the container & its parent.

6. The z-index of the controls (drop down menu boxes ) are always higher than the pop-ups . So, they might show up.

7.when you make an image an anchor, there is a default border which shows up.
You should put a border:0 to make the border disappear.
