Sometime when you insert content in DOM, the elements below does not move downward and you have hide and show or trigger window.resize to move the element to its actuall position.
i use something like (in jQuery)
if($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == ’7.0′)
{
$(window).trigger(‘resize’);
$(‘#atWelcomePanel, #atMap, .atModule’).hide().show();//fixing ie error
}

Using an external CSS file instead of block CSS.
Span class tags.

IE explorer 6 blocks all iframes. Even ones requested by the client. I spent a few days learning ajax (5ish) before finally being able to make a form that would log someone in to two places at the same time. T_T.

I used a conditional(if lower than ie8) triggering a javascript confirm box with a message something like “this site will not work correctly using this browser, click ok to download firefox…”.
i really hate IE.
