Getting on the A-list at work is ridiculously simple. Take on a miserable-but-important project that nobody wants or where others have failed … and succeed.

Give Yourself a Break

Come down off that ledge. Please remember that what’s happening out there is a reflection of the overall economy. It’s not a commentary on your specific qualifications.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Behave Like an Invested Party

At job interviews, show prospective employers you want to add value to their organizations. Act like you’re already on the payroll.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Hold Your Own at the Interview

The more you want to be taken seriously as a candidate, the more you should forget that you are one. Imagine instead that you’re a consultant and that you’ve just been paid a huge, nonrefundable fee to attend this meeting.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Make It a Bit Personal

Don’t address letters to “Dear Recruiter.” Acknowledge the recipient by name, and he or she might actually remember yours.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

A Few Words About Cover Letters

Cover letters need to be way brief. Think haiku. Didn’t you hear that the whole world now has ADD? Mention that your résumé is attached and say goodbye.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Empathize With the Résumé Reader

Think of whoever reads your résumé as an audience, then manage their eye movements. Did someone tell you those horrid little bullets would make it easier to scan? That’s exactly why you don’t want to use them. Shameless self-promotions, garish buzzwords, and “inventive” graphics are as image-positive as polyester leisure suits.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Be Realistic About Your Trajectory

If you’re a dermatologist in Buffalo who wants to pitch for the Yankees, you’ll need a wicked slider because even the best résumé won’t help. And no, 10 years of accounting experience broken down into core competencies doesn’t qualify you to become the next CFO at Google. Putting fantasy on paper won’t make it come true. Ask yourself honestly, “Can I get there from here?”

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Advance by Achieving. It’s That Simple

Don’t rely on recruiters to package or promote you. Seriously. We are not the answer to your prayers. Most of us never even answer our phones. Do brilliant work in your industry or discipline and we will find you when we have the right opportunity.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Make Your Résumé Just the Facts, Ma’am

Write your résumé the way Jack Webb spoke on Dragnet: simple, direct statements in government-style, gray-flannel prose. No embellishing. The number of pages doesn’t matter; substance does. Tell your story and get out of there.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Don’t Jump at the First Offer

Take a lesson from Smokey Robinson and “Shop Around.” Avoid jumping into a job where you think you’ll be miserable. Chances are there’s at least one more option around the corner.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Know That You Will Get a Job Soon Enough

Understand that despite what you see on the cable networks, we are not living in the End of Days. Yes, it’s miserable out there—worse than most of us have ever seen—but it will be a bad memory sooner than you or CNBC imagines.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Work Swiftly but Patiently

Listening too closely to your inner “job clock” can get you wound way too tight. Yes, time is of the essence—there’s not a minute to waste—but most people underestimate how long it takes to find the right gig. Pace yourself and spare the whip.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Don’t Throw Out the Baby …

Revitalize yourself, but don’t reinvent. Companies need the experience and accomplishments you’ve earned over time. Leave the instant makeovers for people who have something to hide. Leverage what you already have instead of focusing on what you fear you may lack.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Rein in Expectations

Be realistic and set your goals at achievable levels. Naked ambition is a great thing, especially on reality TV, but baby steps may be more effective at the moment. Besides, starting at the top is overrated.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Job Hunters, Calm the Heck Down

Bleak as the employment market may seem, the solution is not finding elaborate gimmicks or reaching the perfect pitch of frenzy. Forget the video cover letter, the chocolate-chip cookie résumé, and the Robin Williams interview style.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Talk About the Team

Whether interviewing or happily employed, learn to communicate without using the words “I” and “me.” Talk about the players and the total effort, acknowledging and crediting others. It will become contagious and you’ll get your share of the glory, too.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Strapped for Time on the Job Hunt?

Use services such as resumerabbit.com and jobdrone.com that post your résumé to multiple job sites at once. They can save you hours of data entry.

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Forget Easy Tricks, Quick Fixes

There are no success secrets. It’s about experience, performance, maturity, and attitude—rather than techniques, protocol, gimmicks, and magic talismans.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Take Community Action

Look for a community service project sponsored by the employer you’re interested in and offer your skills to it. You will learn about the company culture and make some key contacts.

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Post your photo on LinkedIn?

If it’s a solid asset, great, then use it. Please make sure we can see your face clearly, the mug shot was professionally done, and it conveys a “strictly business” demeanor. When in doubt, leave it out.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Radiate Cash-Cow Karma

How do you get a recruiter’s attention? Look like a meal ticket for future search business once he or she installs you in that sleek new corporate role.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Plain Old Hard Work

Perspiration still wins over inspiration. Being a professional doesn’t mean you have to be super-motivated in everything you do. It means playing at the top of your game and performing as if you were inspired.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Come Clean Constructively

Don’t be freaked out by the interview question, “What wrong turns or unfortunate choices have you made in your career?” Ability to answer this confidently demonstrates your capacity for honest self-analysis and introspection.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Stay Positive

Play to your strengths. Don’t focus on what you perceive to be your weaknesses and limitations. It’s a huge waste of energy.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

About Cover Letters

Think haiku. Didn’t you hear the whole world has ADD? Since attention spans max out at about three seconds, mention that your résumé is attached and say goodbye.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

How do you get a recruiter’s attention?

It’s a distinctly unglamorous method but oh-so-reliable. Do memorable work in your industry or profession and we will find you despite your employer’s best efforts to conceal your brilliance from the rest of the world.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Second-Place Blues?

If you were runner-up for a position that was exactly in your sweet spot, you have nothing to lose by calling the hiring manager 90 days later and asking how that new hotshot is working out. You may be surprised to learn that she wishes she had gone with you after all. Stranger things have happened.

Tell Your Boss the Truth

Here’s an opportunity for an up-and-comer who doesn’t have the universe to lose: Earn your boss’s trust by saying the hard thing, the thing nobody else has the insight or courage to say.

While preparing a résumé or interviewing, resist the urge to tell me you’re a “highly motivated, results-driven, visionary, world-class entrepreneur.” May I decide that for myself, after I’ve had time to consider your many accomplishments?

Try This Little To-Do List

1. Let people underestimate your abilities. 2. Vastly exceed their expectations. 3. Get promoted and enjoy the last laugh.

Come on, Get Real

Please don’t waste your valuable time applying for jobs for which you fit none of the qualifications. This will only demoralize you when you get no response.

Help, Don’t Opine

Co-workers don’t value your input nearly so much as your cooperation. It’s all about how you make the other person feel about him- or herself.

Turn Rejection into Enlightenment

Didn’t make it past the initial phone screen? Don’t take it to heart; try to get feedback on why. Always strike a friendly, open, positive tone when probing for feedback.

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Take the High Road

The simplest and most elegant way to stand above the crowd will always be through the virtue of your actions. It means taking individual responsibility, making good on promises, not exaggerating, always having your mouth and your heart in perfect agreement.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Prepare for the Big Interview Question

The most frequently asked question is, “Tell me about yourself.” The wrong answer is, “What do you want to know?” This tells the prospective employer you’re unprepared for the interview.

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Watch Your Words—and Tone

Real life is like high school. Get ready to be judged on popularity. Recognize that how you say things is often more important than what you say. Above all, don’t tell people what’s “wrong” with them.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Put Real Effort into Cover Letters

Generic cover letters are a big no-no. They turn off the prospective employer as they demonstrate that you didn’t even have enough interest to research the job or hiring firm.

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Turn a Negative into a Positive on the Interview

Instead of saying, “No, I’ve never done that” and feeling miserable afterward, try, “You know, I haven’t had the opportunity to do that before but have always wanted to learn. Would I be able to here?”

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Go Traditional

What is the new look for interviewing? The old rule remains true: dark suit with plain shirt or blouse. You’d be surprised how many candidates get this wrong.

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Let Interviewers Reach Their Own Conclusions

Your next boss wants to be enamored, not assaulted. In business as in love, infatuation rarely results from a hard sell or a soft-shoe routine. Always explain, but resist the urge to exclaim.

—Mark Jaffe, Wyatt & Jaffe

Explain Résumé Job Gaps Skillfully

Make it brief, honest, and positive. For example: “I felt I would be doing my employer a disservice by staying on once I decided it was time to move on and decided to make the job search a full-time endeavor.”

Sell Yourself

At the top of your résumé, list your attributes. Include such assets as tenacity and the ability to think critically and work well collaboratively and individually.

Practice Saying ‘Aw, Schucks’

Two words: humble gratitude. Don’t be the larger-than-life ego that sucks all the air from the room. Give others credit.

Take a Dry Run
Drive to the prospective employer’s office before the big day so you know exactly where you are going. Arrive 10 minutes early to give yourself an opportunity to freshen up and take a deep breath.

—Tara McKernan, DHR International

Spare Us the Buzzwords

While you may think you’re staying ahead of the curve by discussing mission-critical strategies and scalable synergies, at the end of the day it wrongsizes your core competencies and value-added learnings by diminishing stakeholder traction. Understand that? No one does. People who use lots of business clichés sound like empty suits.

Be Proactive

At the end of the job interview, always ask about the next step in the process.

Remember the Simplest Way to Impress

During an interview, pay attention, listen, make eye contact, and don’t fidget.

Stop Comparing Yourself

There will always be somebody who does it better, faster, more artfully, or for bigger profits. Does that mean you’re a loser? Define success on your own terms and live a fulfilled life.

Calculate Your Compensation

Remember that employers are not accountable for your financial responsibilities. Determine a reasonable salary requirement by investigating market trends in your field.

Lighten Up

Be respectful and sensitive to co-workers, but don’t take yourself so seriously. If you find it hard to laugh at yourself, it may be that others will wind up doing it for you.

Don’t Panic Over Tough Questions

Never say anything negative when asked such questions as, “What do you think of your last manager?” Answer in a way that demonstrates your respect for authority and ability to work for different types of management styles.

It is now a foregone conclusion that China’s economy will become the biggest in the world sometime very soon. According to the World Bank, the size of China’s economy is $10.1 trillion, compared with $14.6 trillion for the U.S., based on purchasing power parity (which adjusts exchange rates to account for the different prices people pay for goods and services across countries). But China is narrowing the gap in a hurry. Over the past 10 years, the annual real growth of China’s gross domestic product averaged 10.5 percent, compared with 1.7 percent in the U.S. The Chinese economy increased at an annual rate of 9.6 percent in the first half of 2011, vs. a rate of less than 1 percent in the U.S. America’s days as top dog of global output are numbered, at best.

Should we care? People from Thomas Friedman to Niall Ferguson cite the looming change at the top of the world economic rankings as a bellwether of broader American decline. “We are the United States of Deferred Maintenance. China is the People’s Republic of Deferred Gratification. They save, invest, and build. We spend, borrow, and patch,” complained Friedman in a recent New York Times column. And yet having the world’s largest economy isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—and you need look no further than the history of China and the U.S. to see that. The swelling size of China’s economy may be a source of pride to the Chinese people, but America is still by far the better place to live—and will remain so for a long time.

Although economists are skeptical about China’s ability to sustain its current levels of growth, most agree it is only a matter of a few years before the Middle Kingdom’s 1.3 billion or so people produce more than the 310 million living in the U.S. That means history is repeating itself. The U.S.’s reign as the largest world economic power began a little before 1890, when it supplanted the previous global giant: China. According to data from the late Angus Maddison, an economic historian at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, China boasted the largest economy in the world all the way back to 1500. Prior to the 20th century, its run at No. 1 was interrupted only for a brief period around 1700, when India took a turn at the top.

And yet during those five centuries when its economy was the world’s biggest, China was never even close to being the world’s wealthiest country. Italy was almost twice as rich in 1500, the Netherlands almost three times as rich in 1700, and the U.K. six times as rich by 1870. Today, though the GDPs of the U.S. and China are roughly equal, the average person in China lives on an income that can buy only 16 percent of the goods and services of the average person in the U.S., and it will take decades for that gap to close. If you’re an American feeling down about losing top economy status, go take a holiday in Guizhou, a poor western Chinese province where incomes are about one-fortieth as high as the U.S. average. You’ll feel a lot better.

Nevertheless, pessimists warn that being knocked off the top spot could still have all sorts of ill effects for the U.S. Being the biggest economy, they argue, has been vital to American prosperity because, since the close of World War II, the dollar has been predominant in international financial reserve holdings, allowing the U.S. to borrow and trade in its own currency. Arvind Subramanian of the Peterson Institute for International Economics predicts that as China’s economy overtakes the U.S.’s, so too will the relative importance of the renminbi. He argues that within 10 years, the renminbi could replace the dollar as the world’s largest reserve currency.

But the impact of that change might be less than dramatic. It’s probably true that if the dollar loses its dominance, American companies will have to start hedging against exchange rate risk, and government borrowing might become a little more expensive. But foreign companies already have to hedge currency risk and yet still manage to compete, while less borrowing would surely be a good thing for the U.S. in the medium run. And a renminbi whose value rises—as it will have to if it is to become a reserve currency—should help even up the U.S.-China trade balance.

What China will soon discover is that being the world’s biggest economy and holding its favored reserve currency have little bearing on a country’s actual economic performance. For proof, just look at the U.S. Between 1890, when America became the world’s largest economy, and 2008, the U.S.’s annualized per capita income growth was about a quarter of a percentage point lower than China’s. America’s growth performance during those 118 years ranked just 15th out of 37 countries for which the University of Groningen’s Maddison has data—behind economies including Denmark, Canada, Sweden, and (wait for it) Greece. Even a number of really small countries have done better than America. Luxembourg has a GDP four-tenths of a percent the size of the U.S. economy, about the same output as the state of Delaware. And yet it is more than twice as rich per person as the U.S.

For a while in the 1940s, the U.S. showed that the combination of being the biggest and richest power can yield dividends—it was decisive in defeating two other world powers in war and making a global peace largely of America’s own design. And yet being the planet’s largest economy encouraged, or perhaps obliged, the U.S. to try to act as the world’s policeman, which even the most unrepentant neoliberal would acknowledge has been a burden as much as a blessing. Not least, it meant that more American soldiers died abroad last year than troops from any other nation, according to data from Sweden’s Uppsala University. Meanwhile, U.S. military spending now accounts for more than two-fifths of the world total, and it sucks up a larger percentage of GDP than any other member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

If anything, supremacy confers even fewer benefits on the world’s dominant power than it did a century ago. Thanks in large part to the postwar international system the U.S. drove to create, any country’s ability to use size to strike unfair trading arrangements is considerably constrained by the requirements of the World Trade Organization. And China will likely be even more limited—because its economy is so reliant on exports, it needs the multilateral provisions of the WTO even more than does the U.S.

Of course, it must be nice for President Barack Obama to still be the guy at the Group of 20 afterparty who everyone wants to talk to. And it’s surely a boost to the ego for the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations to sit behind a country nameplate that is permanently screwed to the table in the Security Council. At the same time, being No. 1 makes you a target of abuse and criticism. Perhaps an America that is No. 2 would be more popular. Country polls conducted for the BBC suggest that America’s image abroad has improved markedly since 2007, when it came out only marginally ahead of North Korea and Iran, though it’s still way behind less powerful countries such as Canada and Germany. Meanwhile, China’s popularity ratings have been falling since 2005, perhaps in part a reflection of its growing economic muscle.

Ultimately, the best argument for Americans to let go of the idea of being No. 1 is that in the areas that really matter, we aren’t. When it comes to measures of the broader quality of life, the U.S. ranks in the bottom half of the OECD club of rich countries on such health indicators as life expectancy. It ranks around 15th worldwide in terms of the proportion of people who say they are happy, according to Jaime Díez Medrano, director of the World Values Survey archive. That puts the U.S. behind a bunch of small economies, including Norway, Ireland, Singapore, Switzerland, and (once again) Luxembourg.

On the bright side, the U.S. still outperforms China on almost every conceivable quality-of-life indicator, including happiness polls (where China is in 70th place). The average American lives five years longer than the average Chinese person, while under-five mortality rates are less than half the Chinese levels. And though you may take a dim view of the abilities of Congress and the President to manage the economy—or even manage their way out of a paper bag—they remain the voters’ to throw out. The same cannot yet be said of the leadership of the Communist Party of China. So rather than wring their hands over the decline of the U.S.’s relative economic weight, Americans should remember the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and focus on preserving the country’s advantages in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness instead.

其实浏览器的不兼容，我们往往是各个浏览器对于一些标准的定义不一致导致的，因此，我们可以进行一些初始化，很多问题都很轻松解决。

下面是14条特殊情况仅供参考：

1. 文字本身的大小不兼容。同样是font-size:14px的宋体文字，在不同浏览器下占的空间是不一样的，ie下实际占高16px，下留白3px，ff 下实际占高17px，上留白1px，下留白3px，opera下就更不一样了。解决方案：给文字设定 line-height 。确保所有文字都有默认的 line-height 值。这点很重要，在高度上我们不能容忍1px 的差异。

2.ff下容器高度限定，即容器定义了height之后，容器边框的外形就确定了，不会被内容撑大，而ie下是会被内容撑大，高度限定失效。所以不要轻易给容器定义height。

3.横向上的撑破容器问题，。如果float 容器未定义宽度，ff下内容会尽可能撑开容器宽度，ie下则会优先考虑内容折行。故，内容可能撑破的浮动容器需要定义width。

小实验：有兴趣大家可以看看这段实验。在不同浏览器下分别测试以下各项代码。

a.<div style=”border:1px solid red;height:10px”></div> b. <div style=”border:1px solid red;width:10px”></div>

c. <div style=”border:1px solid red;float:left”></div> d. <div style=”border:1px solid red;overflow:hidden”></div>

上面的代码在不同浏览器中是不一样的，实验起源于对小height 值div 的运用，<div style=”height:10px;overflow:hidden”></div>，小height 值要配合overflow:hidden一起使用。实验好玩而已，想说明的是，浏览器对容器的边界解释是大不相同的，容器内容的影响结果各不相同。


4.最被痛恨的，double-margin bug。ie6下给浮动容器定义margin-left 或者margin-right 实际效果是数值的2倍。解决方案，给浮动容器定义display:inline。

5.mirror margin bug，当外层元素内有float元素时，外层元素如定义margin-top:14px，将自动生成margin-bottom:14px。 padding也会出现类似问题，都是ie6下的特产，该类bug 出现的情况较为复杂，远不只这一种出现条件，还没系统整理。解决方案：外层元素设定border 或 设定float。

引申：ff 和ie 下对容器的margin-bottom，padding-bottom的解释有时不一致，似乎与之相关。

6. 吞吃现象。还是ie6，上下两个div，上面的div设置背景，却发现下面没有设置背景的div 也有了背景，这就是吞吃现象。对应上面的背景吞吃现象，还有滚动下边框缺失的现象。解决方案：使用zoom:1。这个zoom好象是专门为解决ie6 bug而生的。

7.注释也能产生bug~~~“多出来的一只猪。”这是前人总结这个bug使用的文案，ie6的这个bug 下，大家会在页面看到猪字出现两遍，重复的内容量因注释的多少而变。解决方案：用“<!–[if !IE]> picRotate start <![endif]–>”方法写注释。


8.img 下的留白，大家看这段代码有啥问题：

<div>
<img src=”" mce_src=”" />
</div>

把div的border打开，你发现图片底部不是紧贴着容器底部的，是img后面的空白字符造成，要消除必须这样写

<div>
<img src=”" mce_src=”" /></div>

后面两个标签要紧挨着。ie7下这个bug 依然存在。解决方案：给img设定 display:block。

9. 失去line-height。<div style=”line-height:20px”><img />文字</div>，很遗憾，在ie6下单行文字 line-height 效果消失了。。。，原因是<img />这个inline-block元素和inline元素写在一起了。解决方案：让img 和文字都 float起来。

引申：大家知道img 的align 有 text-top，middle，absmiddle啊什么的，你可以尝试去调整img 和文字让他们在ie和ff下能一致，你会发现怎么调都不会让你满意。索性让img 和文字都 float起来，用margin 调整。


10.clear层应该单独使用。也许你为了节省代码把clear属性直接放到下面的一个内容层，这样有问题，不仅仅是ff和op下失去margin效果，ie下某些margin值也会失效
<div style=”background:red;float:left;”>dd</div>
<div style=”clear:both;margin-top:18px;background:green”>ff</div>

11.ie 下overflow:hidden对其下的绝对层position:absolute或者相对层 position:relative无效。解决方案：给overflow:hidden加position:relative或者position: absolute。另，ie6支持overflow-x或者overflow-y的特性，ie7、ff不支持。

12.ie6下严重的bug，float元素如没定义宽度，内部如有div定义了height或zoom:1，这个div就会占满一整行，即使你给了宽度。float元素如果作为布局用或复杂的容器，都要给个宽度的。

13.ie6下的bug，绝对定位的div下包含相对定位的div，如果给内层相对定位的div高度height具体值，内层相对层将具有100%的width值，外层绝对层将被撑大。解决方案给内层相对层float属性。

14.width:100%这个东西在ie里用很方便，会向上逐层搜索width值，忽视浮动层的影响，ff下搜索至浮动层结束，如此，只能给中间的所有浮动层加width:100%才行，累啊。opera这点倒学乖了跟了ie。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ie的float bug(ie6,ie7)使前端工程师们为之困扰,最常见的现象就是:当浮动元素的父级元素在拖动滚动条的时候出现边框的缺失,对于此类问题的解决方案就是使浮动元素获得布局.

        在诸多的情况中,因为页面需要宽度自由伸缩而不能申明宽度为固定值,但我们可以设置*height:1%;,*在这里可谓是举足轻重,因为*只能被ie7及以下版本解析,ie8并不识别此类写法,所以可以使用这个写法来区别ie8和其他版本号的ie浏览器.对网上流行的ie8 beta1的hack,也算是一个补充.

        一些常用的hack测试

        * html  p {color:red;}           支持 IE6        不支持FF IE7 IE8b
        *+html p {color:red;}　　  支持 IE7 IE8b        不支持FF IE6
        p {*color:red;}                      支持 IE7 IE6        不支持FF IE8b

        IE8 中增加了 CSS3 中的子串匹配的属性选择器（substring matching attribute selectors），具体规则与正则中的匹配很相似：

        E[att^=’val’] //子串以’val’ 开始
        E[att$=’val’] //子串以’val’ 结束
        E[att*=’val’] //子串中包含’val’

        IE8 支持绝大多数基本的 CSS2.1 选择器，不支持的包括但不限于：[:first-line] 、[:first-letter]。
        对于 CSS2.1 中的 generated content 部分，即通过使用伪元素 :before 和 :after 添加文本内容，IE8 中支持 并未完全 。
        而对于几乎在其他浏览器中都支持的 opacity 和 RGBA ，IE8 中依旧没有支持。
        对于原来用来区分 IE 的 HACK 在 IE8 中基本失效（比如*property:value、*property:value等）。
        原有 IE 的 list-item whitespace bug 在 IE8 中依旧存在。 
        原有 IE 的 z-index bug 在 IE8 中依旧存在。
        IE8 中产生新的 bug：当 line-heigth 小于正常值时，超出的部分将被裁切掉。
        IE8 中依然不支持 display:table 。
        IE8 中依然不支持 border 的 transparent 值。
        IE8 中 @import 只支持三层嵌套。
        IE8中 border的 transparent 不被支持
        IE8中产生新的BUG：line-heigth BUG
        /*/p{ color:#1e90ff}/*/　只针对IE8的hack，可以是属性也可以是类

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUG描述：

页面中某DIV使用了position:relative，结合top=-25px等元素定位。在FF和IE7下表现正常，但是在IE6中该DIV会随鼠标滚动而滚动。

分析：

这是IE6一个已知的BUG：当某position:relative元素 被带有overflow:auto/scroll属性的块级元素包含时，会表现出postion:absolute的行为。

解决方法：

1.为包含块元素添加属性position:relative 。

2.把该元素的position:relative属性去掉，使用默认的static定位，并通过margin-top等属性实现类似的效果。

ie6的末日即将来临,对我们前端开发人员来说,无疑是一个慰藉人心的喜讯.但这个末日也并非朝日可至,所以我们还是争取最后的胜利,用各种hack和方法来规避ie6下双边距,背景透明,重复文字等等一堆bug.下面是转载自前端观察(译自http://www.sitepoint.com/)中的10个修复ie6下bug技巧:
1. 使用DOCTYPE
你应该在一直每个HTML文件的头部都使用DOCTYPE，并且我们推荐使用strict 版本，比如：

或者，对于XHTML使用:

你需要处理的最棘手的事情就是IE6进入quirks模式——它已经够诡异了。
2. 设置position: relative
将一个元素设置为”position:relative”可以解决很多问题，特别是你曾经遇到隐藏的或对齐诡异的盒子。显然，你需要非常小心点儿，因为绝对定位的子节点可能会因此重新定位。
3. 将浮动元素设置为display:inline
具有margin属性的浮动元素可能引起著名的IE6双倍margin问题，比如，你为一个元素指定margin-left为5px，但是IE6中实际上却表现为10px。”display:inline”将解决这个问题，尽管这不是必须的，你的CSS仍然是有效的。
4. 将一个元素设置为hasLayout
很多IE6(和IE7)的渲染问题可以通过设置元素的hasLayout来解决。 这是一个IE内部属性（IE隐藏的，更多关于haslayout的资料，可以参阅这里），用来确定相对于其他元素，内容是如何布局和定位的。如果你需要设置一个inline元素(比如一个链接)为block元素，或者是应用透明效果，设置hasLayout也可能是必须的。
最简单的设置hasLayout的方法是为CSS设置一个高度或宽度（zoom也可以用，但是zoom并不是CSS标准的一部分）。我们推荐设置实际尺寸，但是问题是这是不现实的，你可能需要使用”height:1%”。如果父元素并没有设置高度，该元素的实际高度并不受影响，而且这个时候hasLayout已经被启用。
5. 修正重复文字bug
复杂的布局可以触发在浮动元素的最后一些字符可能出现在出现在清除元素下面的bug。这里有几个解决方法，有些是完美的，但是做一些反复试验也是必须的：
         .确保所有的元素使用”display:inline;”
         .在最后一个元素上使用一个”margin-right:-3px;”
         .为浮动元素的最后一个条目使用一个条件注释，比如：

         .在容器的最后元素使用一个空的div(它也有必要设置宽度为90%或类似宽度。

6. 在可点击和悬停的元素上只使用<a>标签
IE6只认识对a标签的CSS hover效果。
你也可以在基于JavaScript的组件内使用他们来控制，以使他们保持键盘的可操作性。是有一些可替代的选择，但是<a>标签比其它方案更可靠。
7. 使用!important 或高级选择器来区分IE6
不使用传统Hack或在额外文件中的条件CSS的方法，写出特别针对IE6的可行的代码也还是有可能的。比如最小高度可以通过这段代码来定义：

IE6 不理解min-height并错误的用20em覆盖”auto”高度，但是，如果内容需要更多的空间的话，它会自动增加高度。
另外一个可选的方法是使用高级选择器，比如e.g.

8. 避免百分比单位
百分比会把IE搞糊涂的。除非你可以确切的控制每一个父元素的大小，才可能做到最佳预防。你可以通过!important在其他浏览器中继续使用百分比，比如：

9. 尽早测试并不断测试
不要等到你的网站或应用完成了才测试IE6;这样的话问题可能更糟糕，而且会花更多时间来修正。如果你的网站能够在Firefox和IE6中正常运行，那么一般在其它浏览器就不会有问题。
10. 重构你的代码
经常发生的事情是，修正bug要比重新考虑一个布局问题要花更长的时间。对HTML做些小改动和一些简单的CSS常常更有效。这可能意味着你要放弃完美的代码，但是会出现较少的长期问题而且将来你会很清楚如果处理这些可能出现的问题。

让IE6支持PNG格式的图片

用法：

        先复制下面的代码在记事本中，然后另存为pngbehavior.htc（名字可以任意）：

<public:component lightWeight="true">
<public:attach event="onpropertychange" nevent="propertyChanged()" />
<public:attach event="onbeforeprint" nevent="beforePrint()" for="window"/>
<public:attach event="onafterprint" nevent="afterPrint()" for="window"/>
<script>

SHANGHAI - Every day, Ben Paul bikes to work at a Shanghai advertising agency. CBS News correspondent Celia Hatton reports it's a major change from 2009, when he was laid off in Los Angeles.

"Job hunting in L.A. was really disheartening（使人沮丧的）," he explained. "One, because there's very little to look for in the first place and the really hard thing was that you almost don't hear back or at least I almost didn't hear back from anyone."

After six months of looking for a job in America, Ben and his wife, Arcelia, gave China a try.

They made the right decision. Arcelia was in high demand as a therapist for autistic （孤独症患者(常指儿童)）children despite having no Chinese language skills. It took Ben just a month to land the senior position he always wanted, even though he only speaks conversational Mandarin.

More than 71,000 Americans work in China as permanent residents, and hundreds of thousands more are employed under temporary visas. China's leadership is smoothing the way for more white-collar foreign workers to arrive by easing the visa process and extending Chinese social security to all.

"If you can show people you have the kind of skills that might not show up on your resume," Ben said, "but you believe in yourself, that you have them, there will be someone here that will be willing to listen to you."

Ben has had a relatively easy ride but not everyone is so fortunate. Americans who come to China searching for jobs have to compete with a growing number of well-educated Chinese people. Six million new college graduates flood China's job market every year.

"Here in China I really think I can get into a company as they're starting to expand," Pennsylvania native Phil Geanacopolous said. Geanacopoulos has yet to find a job. Every day, he's hitting the pavement in Shanghai, resume in hand, looking to match his ambitions. "If I prove myself within one or two years I can be the executive vice president or head of marketing."

Geanacopolous is studying Chinese to improve hs prospects and his eventual paycheck. And in China, a salary that may be small by U.S. standards can support a comfortable lifestyle.

And that's key - Ben and Arcelia miss their family and friends back home, but the trade-off's worth it to benefit from China's growing economy.
