Hey Dean, I read your mail with a smile, as it reminded me of the time about two years ago when I shifted from table based design to CSS based design. IMHO, you've made the right choice to shift to CSS design. You've already started seeing the benefits, so I need not elaborate on that.
About the box model problem. AFAIK, it is not just IE5, but also IE5.5 and IE6 - quirks mode that suffer from the misinterpretation of the CSS box model (List: Correct me if I'm wrong). So, I'd recommend you leave the hacks in your code. Besides, using a good box model hack will not affect any of the browsers that interpret the CSS correctly, so there's no harm done. Also, since you are using divs for the superfluous markup, you are not altering the semantics of the document in any way, so you don't have a need to feel guilty about bad semantics either, even though "divitis" are a bad idea. I know it doesn't feel too good to write bad code to support a bad browser, but until things change we have to change ourselves to fit in. -- Rakesh Pai Mumbai, India.
