Tired of adding extra divs and spans to your HTML just to make IE6, 7 and 8 have pretty rounded corners? Annoyed that you have to add a class to every checkbox and radio button because input[type=checkbox] is not supported in IE6? We'll show you some tips and tricks to enable you to enhance IE's rendering abilities: tips that don't require you to edit the HTML while still being standards compliant.

Chris Patterson of http://skulljackpot.com/ and Estelle Weyl of http://evotech.net/blog are the two presenters.

I use evotech.net a lot so I'm looking forward to hearing Estelle do her thing. Unobtrusive ways of dealing with IE6 are my main interest.

Chris Patterson is a browser compatibility monster. He eats IE bugs for breakfast and leaves room for Belgian waffles with fruit compote and a side of bacon.

Want to learn graceful, painless methods for legacy browser support?
Want to be able to have markup clean enough to eat off of?
Want to watch me eat bugs and Belgian waffles?

This is the panel for you.

Estelle's encyclopedic knowledge of CSS rendering differences, coupled with my overcompensating-for-shyness showboatmanship should be a fun time.

I attended Estelle's session on Web 2.0, what you need to know to stay relevant. If this session is even half as good (which I am sure it will be), this session alone will be worth the conference fee.

Estelle is awesome. I have worked with her in the past and she's very well versed in this field. I would love to go to this!

My knowledge of CSS and IE increased 200% as a result of Estelle's knowledge. If IE is Cthulhu, then Estelle is H.P. Lovecraft.

"div" is for poetry only "/div"

I think you meant "br" is only for poetry.

Good to know someone was paying attention ;)

oh thank you! Since all those noobs are still using IE6 and it drives us crazy supporting them, this will help a lot.
