As always: observe, add temporary fixes for specific bugs, and compare with what comes out in other browsers. Once determined: remove temporary fixes and/or replace them with real fixes, and perform thorough testing to make sure the final fix works as intended - also under stress. >> Correct (I don't need those comments ;-) ). > > In this case I did.

I perform two simple tests, and compare IE's reaction with that of better browsers. 1: remove the element (1) from the markup, and see what happens. 2: style it out of the way in various ways, and see what happens. Remember that all software leave telltale evidence when bugs are provoked, so with some experience one can often recognize particular bugs in a particular piece of software - without looking at the code. It is after all in most cases "the same ol' bugs" we're dealing with... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_38.html> >> [...] Nothing beats experience. > > And a good memory? Certainly doesn't hurt. Mine isn't particularly good anymore, but more than 40 years in software/hardware development has left "useful traces" that help me focus on the case at hand.
