Regarding IE7,
Some people told me that it will be able to read the "> " child selector hacks that I applied in some of my projects.
Since you are more experienced CSS designer than I am, I'd like to hear your thoughts on that matter. What should I do?
TIA, -

Well, instead of using dirty CSS hacks, you should be using conditional statements.
<!--[if IE lt 7]>
<style type="text/css">
...
</style>
<![end if]-->
Or even place a link to an alternative stylesheet (although you shouldn't have to do that).
All I can suggest is to take our your CSS hacks and add this,
<!--[if IE lt 7]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/ie7.js"></script>
<![end if]-->
That way, IE7 will be fine when it views your page and anything less than IE7 will get the benefits of IE7.js. -
Nick, great pointers, as usual!
Would you like to explain more about that ie7.js and how it can make IE7- get the benefits? -

IE7 is a javascript file made to emulate behavior that will make IE < 7 more up-to-date with web standards, specifically CSS (as well as PNG transparency and such).
You can download IE7.js here:

And here is the list of what IE7.js will do:

And get the list of compatibility here:

You may also want to read how to use it (specifically about using PNGs with transparency):

Cool :)
Thanks, Nick! -
I wonder how slow it is. Is it as slow as sIFR's parser?
-
Is this only meant for IE, or can be used with other browsers: Opera?
-
i believe it's only meant for IE
-
Spooky,
Is sIFR that slow? I wanted to give it a try -
sIFR is slow the first time you load a site. It is slow if you got a bunch of them.
-
Now I have to think twice before using it .....
-
Try it. Don't take my word for it, but yes, think twice.
