Internet Explorer - still a pain in the arse.

coding
Did the mistake of checking my new pages through IE and noticed how messed up they were... After a bit of tweaking I got them working ok. Thanks to the excellent IEs4Linux-project I did not have to enter window$ to fix the issues.
I found a nice snippet for fast IE-detection and used that to disable decorative png-pictures that are relying on transparency. I also had to make the side menu's position "absolute", because "fixed" just does not work on IE<7.
Unfortunately the gallery won't work nicely with IE6. It does however work on IE5.5. I guess they just broke the overflow-property at some point :-P .
