It does, pretty much every web developer worldwide (likely even microsoft's web devs) would agree with you on that. Anyway, sorry for missing the sarcasm

Hehe, it's okay... Usually 99% of the time I'm sarcastic. You should be around me in person, I have everyone laughing. LOL!

But yeah, soon here I'm going to have to touch up and get cracking on learning css styling more in-depth, and so forth. Instead of using pre-existing themes / templates and working designs into those haha. Oops, I'm bad. I need a spankings.

Your PNG24's are made of magic? Your dropdown menu's work without needing any hacks? You never ever
Code:
<!--[if lt IE 6]>
		<style type="text/css">
			body {
				text-align: center;
			}
		</style>
	<![endif]-->
anything?

Likewise, load of rubbish. You use LESS hacks, however it is IMPOSSIBLE to not use an IE hack unless all your project consists of is "hello world".

Yeah I know, that quoted text ("I know though, "if your code is good, then you wouldn't have to worry about "IE hacks".) was also part of sarcasm. I seen something similar to that posted on here before, or said by someone before. I was basically being sarcastic with / towards the people that say that... Then not too long ago, Sahil was picking at my statement in the
"Post your weirdest client comment ever." Thread.

"If your code can't be translated from fixed to fluid width in few steps it's not good code." So I was throwing around sarcasm in general lol. Anyway, it's not important...

It is VERY possible to have a site not use IE6 hacks. Don't be lazy. It requires knowledge of most IE6 bugs so you can avoid them, using CSS resets for consistency, and finally conditional CSS files for IE6 only. I code roughly 10 sites a month and haven't used a CSS hack since 2007.

Think before you post, you won't contradict yourself so much.

Conditional CSS files for IE6 are hacks, so are the png fixes and the suckerfish js. They're all things we use to make the layout display in a way that isn't native to the browser. It's things we use to fix up IE6's problems, hence, they are hacks. I code... like 20 to 30 sites a month, and you just need the hacks. Not on everything, but the strict minimum.

It's everywhere, from display:inline to fix double margin, to adding a height:1% on elements.

So, I agree with rochow, unless your page is composed of 'hello world", you're gonna need hacks.
