Internet Explorer has been a pain to work with for webdevelopers who use CSS. The last new version emerged over 5 years ago, and although some bugs have been fixed, the major rise of css hasn’t been supported by it. Now however, IE7 is on the way. Which is a good, and a bad thing.

The good is obvious, better CSS support, less bugs and so on. But what about the bad. There is a great number of css hacks for IE that are used frequently. The question has been, will those hacks be fixed, and more importantly, will the reason for those hacks also been fixed?

Luckily, the people at IE also see this distress and came out with a nice list of things they changed, including, overflow, hacks and some other things. This read is especially usefull if you use hacks a lot.

Cascading Style Sheet Compatibility in Internet Explorer 7.

So now we know which hacks are fixed. But what about those bugs?
