I've hunted down every site Google initially comes up with. What I can't find, is a comprehensive site that explains (and gives examples of) the differences between CSS for IE and the other browsers. I find dozens of individual examples, but nothing that really relates to the whole spectrum.
I'm finding some of these sites I've been having a hand in developing for our programs look and function fantastic in FF, Opera and Safari, but look like elephant dung (that's a big piece of ^%$@) in IE.
Mostly because our "developers" are jr. high and middle school students and our "staff" doesn't have a clue about the differences. We've abandon IE7 and are starting to look forward to IE8.

Anyway, any help here would be much appreciated.

In my development, I use conditional coding for cross-browser compatibility.

CODE


<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<!--[ifIE]>
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style_ie.css" />
<![endif]-->
</head>



It's a second stylesheet with IE specific information. It takes some getting used to and it take a little extra time in initial development, but it will save a lot of headaches in the long run.

I use w3schools for most of my css reference ( http://www.w3schools.com/css )

For each group of css commands it gives you some notes regarding browser compliance, and a grid that shows what browsers support each command.
