10 ways to make Internet Explorer act like a modern browser

A few tricks can make your life easier.

Like many other web developers, I definitely hate Internet Explorer, especially the version 6. At a time where new and powerful techniques as such as HTML5 and CSS3 are emerging, it’s not surprising that IE can’t handle them correctly. Luckily, a few tricks can make your life easier.

  • Enable HTML5 on IE
  • Use the text-shadow CSS Property on IE
  • CSS box-shadow on IE
  • Rounder corners
  • Multi column layouts
  • CSS3 pseudo-selector emulation
  • Opacity
  • Rotating HTML elements
  • RGBa Support
  • IE compliant font embedding
