I Hate CSS

Yeah, back just a little while ago, Opera was as bad as IE6 in messing things up. They seem to be better now as long as you have a standard doctype. One thing to check is that you are not entering Quirks mode, that can really mess up a page. You need to make sure to specify the doctype of a page and do not server it up as XML or IE6 blows it. Another is that Firefox and Opera use a different box mode than IE6 (calculations of the size of a box). In IE6 the padding is added to the size you specify for a box while the others consider the size to be before padding is added (this can really mess up if you use 100% as it is looked at as 100% + padding). Not sure if Opera is still doing it, but in the last version I checked, it put a margin or padding around the "Form" tag which of course Firefox and IE do not. That made some designs look hosed in Opera unless you set them to zero first. IE 7 does do a much better job at rendering (close to Opera and Firefox).
