This may be an arrogant opinion, but I think the majority of us t on
the PC platform design our sites for Mozilla Firefox
(mozilla.com/firefox/ ITS FREE) first, then we go back and adjust for
Internet Explorer on the PC and the Mac. Once you've done this a few
times you instinctively know when you need to include a browser hack
into your CSS. Hopefully with IE7 we won't need to do this as much.
You are still going to face issues with Mac testing. SInce I didn't
get a Mac for XMas I go over to the community college and check the
site out on a Mac there before showing it to a client.
NOTE: Firefox has a IE Tab extension where you can open your site up
in Firefox but see how it will render in Internet Explorer. I have yet
to see a browser extension for IE Mac replication on the PC though
through Firefox. Whoever figures that out would be the Web Standards
Man/Woman of the Year.
