Feedback for design failures in IE

I am a web designer & can usually find a hack for IE so that my client's
websites will display the same in Internet Explorer as it so easily does in
every other browser. And every time prior to this, I have.

The website I'm working at present has images that are all broken up in IE,
but looks very good in other browsers. See for yourself - I just might leave
this there as an example: http://www.clarassauces.com/new/hot-sauces.html.
Maybe this page displays OK in IE8 - I don't know - but it MUST render in IE7
because of the popularity of this faulty browser.

I've been all over the internet trying to find a solution for my damaged
display. Many searches, talking to other designers, posts in forums, and
still no relief for this. And I DO NOT want to compromise this design just
for IE.

There's something amiss about this - really. It's a shame that such a big
company as Microsoft cannot fix their browser to display as well as everybody
else's does. And the fall-back goes to small company design firms.

What would be nice is to be able to contact a tech at Microsoft who could
lead me to as solution. Does anyone out there know who I can contact for
this? Is such a service available? If not, it sure should be.

You apprently have not tested you site with IE6 either, you do realize that
your PNG images have no Transparency when viewed with IE6 don't you?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294714

The website renders resonably well in IE8, but you have a ways to go to make
it render well in IE6||IE7.

Since this is not an IE Developement newsgroup, see the post made by PA Bear
for links to relative groups for posting such questions.

Good luck,

Donald Anadell
