De-hack your code

While most church web developers won't want to get into the code this deep, everyone needs to know that when the new Internet Explorer 7 arrives, it will "break" some old techniques that coders used to force IE 6 to "behave". Some that code will need to be edited.
How widespread is this? Even some blog templates use the IE6 "hacks".

The Sitepoint blog has a posting on this, " Microsoft Says: De-hack your CSS". It gives code samples that won't work in IE7.

After IE 7 arrives, you may want to keep an eye on any site that produces web page "templates" you have used -- many will update their code. You can also email them and ask how they plan to handle the transition.
