Anykind of IE6 compatibility forcer/fixer for CSS?
I really thought Jquery had a plugin that forced IE to render CSS properly. I can't seem to be able to find it; if it exists tell me though.
Etherway, I need a way to force IE 6 to render CSS properly or help identify how to modify my CSS to make it IE6 complient. If not, anything I can use/read that will help me?

There are immeasurable sites on the internet that talk about hacking fully standard compliant markup and CSS so that it works with that piece of crap Internet Explorer browser. Too many, in fact, to list here. I would recommend a search.
And jQuery is not ever going to make CSS render properly. It is a javascript library not God.

Alright don't everyone start flamming me; Everah, I know you weren't and I'm not not addressing you. I realize that the question was rather dumb, but I really thought Jquery had that plugin.
I guess i'm off to research CSS Hacks.
P.S. It WOULD be cool if someone created a CSS to IE6CSS converter.... Many ppl would pay for one.

@Dave: You're not actually that far off, believe it or not.
jQuery builds on Dean Edwards' cssQuery() function, and also uses his packer for source code compression.
Dean's most famous project is IE7 (named before the browser as planned, let alone released). The function of IE7 was/is to hack IE5/6 into CSS compatibility by way of Javascript. It's quite good, and sounds like what you're looking for.
So IE7 (project, not browser) was the catalyst that drove the development of the previously mentioned two functions, the first of which formed the base of jQuery.

You can't possibly compare a solid patheticness to a non-existing patheticness no matter how pathetic the patheticness he feared was comparable to said patheticness!Kieran Huggins wrote:That's exactly how I found it... and mine was even more pathetic than you feared yours would have been had it existed.
You heard me.
