Yesterday someone asked Width absorbing HTML elements. I presented two solutions: one table-based and one pure CSS. Now the pure CSS one works well in Firefox and Chrome but not in IE. Basically the floats are being bumped down to the next line. It is my understanding (and the behaviour of FF and Chrome) that this should not be the case...

I recently installed IE8, and found quirks using the old copies of IE I have for testing sites with. After reinstalling the "Multiple IEs" I use, I find that now I cannot focus on input fields, either with the keyboard or mouse.

I have an update panel in an ascx page using .Net 3.5. The user enters data, initiates a callback, and ajax updates the DOM. Usually everything's all hunky dory.

I know Internet Explorer has always been hopeless with styling html <select> with inconsistent or non-existent font sizes, colours, borders, background colours etc so what are some alternatives for creating your own flexible field that is cross-browser compatible?
