IE7 – hack Internet Explorer into submission

Anyone who's done any real xHTML/CSS design and development will tell you that IE is by far the worst browser when it comes to standards compliancy. Fed up by IE's lack of compliancy, this javascript genius decided to create a "hack" that will make IE "act" like the rest of the good 'ol compliant browsers.

The script is brilliant and the best part about it is, its absolutely transparent to the user. So if you are authoring a website and you would like to take advantage of some of that cool CSS and PNG magic that IE lacks, give IE7 (the codename for this library) a try. All you do is insert it into your document head and it will take care of the rest.

Besides the IE7 library, the author also has a number of other very cool and extremely useful javascript libraries. A lot of them are used within IE7, but can also be downloaded seperately.

And if that wasn't enough, there is also a handy little IE7 Favelet that will allow you IE users to view sites the way they were meant to be viewed. This favelet will apply IE7's magic to any website you are currently on.
