I hate having to change my code just for IE.

The link to the active section in the main menu used to be highlighted using id=”currentmenulink”. Pretty standard stuff. It works fine….until you try to give each “current page link” unique class attributes and use CSS to give them unique backgrounds or images, like so:
a.UniqueLinkClassName1#currentmenulink {…}
a.UniqueLinkClassName2#currentmenulink {…}
a.UniqueLinkClassName3#currentmenulink {…}
…
or so:
a#currentmenulink.UniqueLinkClassName1 {…}
a#currentmenulink.UniqueLinkClassName2 {…}
a#currentmenulink.UniqueLinkClassName3 {…}
…

Both of those methods work fine Firefox and Mozilla, but IE will only recognize and parse the FIRST entry from the CSS file/section and will just ignore the rest. I actually had to change the order they were written to notice this.

I can’t believe I had to change something AGAIN just for IE.
The menu generator now adds a unique number to the tag’s ID just so the CSS is backwards compatible for IE….yes..”backwards compatible”…because that’s exactly what Microsoft Internet Explorer is: Backwards!!!
#menu #mainmenuitems ul li a#currentmenulink1 {…}
#menu #mainmenuitems ul li a#currentmenulink2 {…}
#menu #mainmenuitems ul li a#currentmenulink3 {…}
…
