It is a well-known bug in IE6 and IE7. To solve it, you need to add position:relative to the container. Since in your case body is the container, I’d suggest you add a div directly under the body and give it position:relative. It should solve your problem.
IE up to IE7 uses the nearest positioned ancestor to determine the stacking context. You seeing that in IE6 too? Put your button after the ul and then try it.
Use CSS3 PIE, which emulates some CSS3 properties in older versions of IE. It supports box-shadow (except for the inset keyword).
Do not use both combined with a comma. A CSS 2.1 compliant (not CSS3 capable) user agent will ignore the whole rule: When a user agent cannot parse the selector (i.e., it is not valid CSS 2.1), it must ignore the selector and the following declaration block (if any) as well. CSS 2.1 gives a … Read more
In case you don’t know why this isn’t working in IE, here is the MSDN documentation on that function: When you use the getElementsByName method, all elements in the document that have the specified NAME attribute or ID attribute value are returned. Elements that support both the NAME attribute and the ID attribute are included … Read more

Web Development Helper is very good. The IE Dev Toolbar is often helpful, but unfortunately doesn’t do script debugging
You can, in Firefox it works, add the attribute target=”_newtab” to the anchor to force the opening of a new tab. <a href=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/427479/some url” target=”_newtab”>content of the anchor</a> In javascript you can use window.open(‘page.html’,’_newtab’); Said that, I partially agree with Sam. You shouldn’t force user to open new pages or new tab without showing them … Read more
with any pure CSS hack it’s not possible. Use IE8.js http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/ It has support for this. http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/test/index.html test page also there after – http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/test/after.html before – http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/test/before.html Edit after 1st comment You can just keep this js for IE6 and 7. other browser will not read it. <!–[if lt IE 8]> <script src=”http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta4)/IE8.js”></script> <![endif]–> And … Read more
I wouldn’t do it. Use virtual PCs instead. It might take a little setup, but you’ll thank yourself in the long run. In my experience, you can’t really get them cleanly installed side by side and unless they are standalone installs you can’t really verify that it is 100% true-to-browser rendering. Update: Looks like one … Read more
