So IE7 came out and broke all our hacks. That was kind of painful, but it’s time to get over the hurt and look to the future. What cool stuff does the new CSS support in IE7 finally free us do, and how will it improve our professional lives? We’ll take a look at some nifty techniques, weigh their pros and cons, and see if we can’t devise some great new techniques on the spot. There will be plenty of Q&A time, so bring your questions, ideas, and challenges.
