For the past 3 days, I have treaded through css hell converting a site
from nested tables to non-table css. There were issues with background
colors not showing through, columns not lining up, padding and margins
on boxes are handled differently between IE and Firefox and various
DTD types, quirks mode vs nonquirks??, phantom rows appearing from
nested div's with multiple floats in IE, and a myriad number of other
browser incompatibilities/bugs.
All this was a result of some twisted desire to make table rows
drag+drop resortable with dom/javascript magic.
After all the CSS quirks were addressed, I discovered that the
scriptaculous drag+drop functions would slow down or lock up the
browser when there were too many elements to sortable. Ugh. Now, I'm
working on writing my own leaner drag and drop script which will
hopefully run more quickly. They say what doesn't kill you makes you
stronger. I'm not sure if I am any stronger, but I did lose a few
handfuls of hair in the process.

That sounds a lot like what I call a "development project"
