there are specific "hacks" and general hack methods, but needing to hack is often a sign of a deeper underlying issue.

do you use a doctype? (some) problems with CSS can be solved by using an up-to-date document type specification... if something looks ok in Firefox, Opera and the like, but not in IE, sometimes it's a doctype issue, sometimes its an IE issue, sometimes it's a developer choice issue.

can't really help you more than that.

oh, that and some links:
