I agree with the accepted response on Yahoo Answers and recommend using conditional statements. I'm curious though, is the the difference that significant that it requires all this attention? Do you have a link to the site? And lastly, why are you using AP (absolute position) for your headings?

In this case if everyone avoided the problem then maybe people would stop using IE and/or Microsoft would fix their browser.

Although in theory i do love this idea, i would suggest only doing it for ie6.
Give ie7 another 12-24 months, and possibly another 5 years for ie8.

M$ will never modify those browsers so dont hold your breath for a “fix“.

So for me...
Ie6_no support, ie7+8_no bells and whistles, ie9+_full support.

If you only use body, it will only apply to the body in reference to the container. But I guess you could use this instead.

* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

This is a good explanation why it is a good idea to do that:

Yeah I doubt this would ever happen...the only positive change I have seen MS do is implement auto update (and that took them 5 + years to do that).

@ OP
It would help if you could post a url for this page, so we can see more that just screen captures. Janja has a good point about your css reset. Its wise to include the html element in the reset rule.
