Strip/spacer under images in IE
I’ve run into this problem a few times when doing all my cross-browser checking. I do most of my web design using Firefox, so when I finally remember to go and check how it looks in Internet Explorer … shock and horror because there are little 2 or 3 pixel spacers under some of the images.

ASP.Net debugging with old files
In my new ASP adventures - by need rather than choice - I’ve been exploring the new terrains of file references.
