    According the Crusty Old Dudes here, writing valid html and css will remove the need for most hacks. If done right, there end up being only a few things you need to be aware of, mostly for IE. Better to have nice code that works and as FEW hacks as possible.

    Exactly. Don't worry about hacking, but instead code to the standards, taking a browser-agnostic approach (meaning don't design for one browser and check against the rest when you're done) while testing and validating your code against the W3C HTML Validator and W3C CSS Validator as you go along (add or change a section of code, check for validation and then look in each of the major browsers).

    Browsers to test on are Internet Explorer 6/7, Firefox, Opera and Safari at the very least.

    If you're running Windows, you can get the IE standalones at http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE (for IE 5/6) and http://tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone (IE 7 standalone). Linux users can test on IE by going to http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page (Mac users can load Windows into Parallels Workstation or VMware, in fact, they can load Linux into it as well).

    Firefox and Opera can be downloaded at www.firefox.com and www.opera.com/download respectively, while Apple's Safari (which uses the WebCore/Kit port of the KHTML rendering engine) can be downloaded (Windows and Mac) at www.apple.com/safari

    With all that out of the way, why don't you show us your design (note I said the design, not the code)?
