Hi Fiona,

You'll find that as you get better at CSS you'll find the need to hack 
older browsers decreases. You just learn how to avoid their problems in 
the first place by using more robust CSS. Using really solid markup is 
another great way to avoid browser inconsistencies, as is designing for 
standards instead of broken browsers in the first place (which it sounds 
like you're already doing, but just for the benefit of others) -- ie, 
don't test in IE first!

The one area where I still have hacks is for IE -- and not for older 
versions, but for IE 7 and 6. These are indispensable resources for 
learning how to deal with IE:
www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html
www.positioniseverything.net

And here's the best site for dealing with MacIE:
www.l-c-n.com/IE5tests/

I personally don't worry about older versions of any other browsers, as 
very few people use them, their problems are usually minor, and there's 
usually nothing you can do to hack them. Just writing good markup and 
CSS is usually the solution here.

Hope that helps,
Zoe
