On Having Layout
I spent several hours today sorting out an IE7 CSS bug that was solved by the concepts described in this article -- On Having Layout.I'm adding this here as a bookmark but also as a heads up for other programmers dealing with CSS related IE6/7 bugs.
"A lot of Internet Explorer's rendering inconsistencies can be fixed by giving an element “layout.”" Who knew you had to give IE layout??
----------------------
To give layout to IE6 and lower use the underscore hack:
.gainlayout { _height: 0; }
or use the IE6 conditional
<!--[if lte IE 6]><style>.gainlayout { height: 1px; }</style><![endif]-->
----------------------
To give layout to IE7 use the min-height property:
.gainlayout { min-height: 0; }
or use the IE7 conditional
<!--[if IE 7]><style>.gainlayout { zoom: 1; }</style><![endif]-->

Clean CSS
CleanCSS is a powerful CSS optimizer and formatter that takes your CSS code and makes it cleaner and more concise.It works by automatically merging the same selectors and properties and returns to you well-formed CSS code. Clean CSS isn't a validator and won't spot your coding errors so make sure your code is valid first by using the W3C Validator.
CleanCSS is available in English, German and French.
