And thanks for the link to the Supersleight fix - I'll definitely check that out. I've been using <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/" rel="nofollow">IE7-js</a> on a few recent projects, and it seems to get the job done, but of course it's a js solution - so I'm still holding out for IE6 to just die a horrible nasty death - soon, hopefully (been saying that for a couple of years though). :) Fabulous suggestions – I’ve been using a separate IE stylesheet and conditional comments like you suggest for awhile now (can’t remember when I started doing that – probably around the time I started using the latest version of Blueprint CSS).

That way you won't have nonstandard css in the files you serve to the good browsers. -- import style sheet Also, you can fix the links by making them position: relative for ie6. or use superslight (http://24ways.org/2007/supersleight-transparent-png-in-ie6) and make js do the work for you. Although with the js solution, you should provide a backup in case js is turned off.
