25 Jul 2008 Fix Margins in IE6 with jQuery
Posted at 17:19h
in jQuery
IE6’s well known margin problems can be solved many ways, such as using CSS that only IE6 will read.
I like to use CSS and jQuery as follows:
CSS:
#wrapper
 {
 margin: 0 auto;
 width: 800px;
 ...
 }
 .wrapperie6
 {
 width: 810px !important; /* compensate for IE6 */
 }
and the jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function() {
 if($.browser.version == '6.0'){
 // alert('you are using ie6');
 $('#wrapper').addClass('wrapperie6');
 }
It’s rude and crude, but it does the job.
