I have one word for [these cry-babies](http://www.devarticles.com/showblog/1515/Dear-browser-forgive-us-our-sins/):

[_**STANDARDS!**_](http://www.w3.org/)

If they would bother to write good, [standardized HTML](http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/) instead of Microsoft hacks, then they wouldn't have cross-browser, compatibility issues—with the rest of the browsers, that is. They may still need to implement hacks to solve IE's problems, and that's exactly where the problem lies: with IE.
