Forever burnt into my mind is PNG alpha work-arounds in IE:

    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='image.png');

Hah, my thought as well, was a part of my standard page setup. And then using those transparent pngs to do rounded borders with 9 images nested within 9 divs!

Edit: and down memory lane: the spacer.gif

I have some bad news for you: "inspect" the whitespace to the left of any comment here.

Using images for rounded corners.....ugh. I forgot all about that.

9 divs? That sounds pretty modern. I remember tables with 9 cells, with cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 to remove spaces between those cells.

		I remember both and I'm thankful that we were able to leave it behind.

Ha, fantastic line that one. Transparent pngs caused so much unnecessary trouble in IE6, it was very annoying, and limited our options as graphic designers.
