Hello, I know it sounds a bit crazy but my client is using IE6 and I have so many problems with that browser, is there any way if the website is opened with IE6, let it act like it is IE7 or IE8? P.S: I'm not crazy :)

A:
If you control the website:
Add the IE8.js script to it. It's not a fix-all solution, but it will bring it much more in line with standard browsers.
If you don't:
No.

@Mark: It's been in beta for at least a year and a half. I've never had stability problems, and I've been using it since then.

@corymatthews: Indeed, no JS, no fix. But how many people are technical enough to turn off JS and non-technical enough to still be using IE6? Personally, I don't support IE6, other than this script (because it's nearly zero effort to do). Supporting it with non-standard settings is totally out of the question.

A:
You can use a separate CSS document for IE6, that allows you to compensate for the issues that you have with the browser.
