Having trouble troubleshooting IE6?

In case you hadn’t already heard, The CSS Summit is coming to a desktop near you on Saturday, July 18! This online conference is offering a slate of presenters who will talk about typography, CSS3, flexible layouts, HTML5, jQuery, troubleshooting IE6, and more.

Since it’s an online conference, there are no travel expenses, and registration is only $139 for individuals! (If you want to round up a group of folks in your living room or office, you can register as a meeting room for just $439!) However, if you register via this link, you’ll get $25 off the price!

As you may have guessed from the title of this post, I’m presenting on the topic of troubleshooting IE6. Unlike most Web developers, I don’t hate IE6. In fact, it has a special place in my heart, as it enabled my team at AOL to build some of the most awesomely advanced CSS-based grids and templates ever. (No joke, I see folks still trying to do what we did back in the day!) Yes, I still get frustrated by having to deal with some of the odd bugs it presents with, from time to time, but generally I’ve learned how to plan for and work around those bugs. So that’s what I’ll be speaking to.

Of course, if you have particular pain points or concerns that you think I should address, please let me know by adding your two cents here. Thanks!
