One answer: browser specific dynamic CSS.

There are many solutions to create "any browser" websites that don't involve hacks; search around on the Internet and you will find more than you can shake a stick at. These solutions will almost always be more efficient than hacks. And besides, Firefox and web-standards browsers should not need hacks - only IE-based browsers need them.

Further more, creating websites that will work in any browser takes time, effort, knowledge, and patience. If you want to win the award, you need to be willing to shell out a lot of these.

I know that.. when I said hacks I mean that u have to do a specific css for IE and another to the good browsers.. u can see at my team site that we did

<!--[if IE]>
	<link href="imagens/cssIE.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->

this do the same thing... but it's easier to manipulate..

I'd say make one code as cross platform as possible. The website I made for our team has no content, so we didn't enter it, and I haven't had a chance to add any. (Or even update the version that FIRST links to, its like version 0.7, I'm at 0.9) Anyway, it doesn't have DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, just straight HTML with frames. (Sorry Lynx users...) If the stupid Tripod ads didn't load (Yes, we're trying to find better hosting) it'd have a load speed that is short on a 26k connection. It also should be viewable in any non text-based browser form something like IE 2-4ish (I can't remember exactly) onward. I've tested it in Mozilla Suite, Firefox, Safari, IE, and Opera. Under Windows, OS X and Linux. (Fedora core 3) Never a problem. So, if I ever get enough content in it and update it I'll never have to worry about browser compatibility. (Unless someone is running IE 1 or Lynx, if they're using IE 1 they should be shot)
