Stupid MT Templates, Stupid IE

I'm always runnign into tedious template issues where MoveableType doesn't render nicely inside IE. It's fucking ridicuolous, one, that IE seems to have the worst CSS rendering engine ever, and two, that the MT community can't build some robust default templates that work around all of IE's and others' idiocies.

Anyway, all these forums and help sites don't spell it out like it needs to be spelled out.

You have this 'peekaboo bug problem' ? Your text isn't rendering in IE 6.0?

OK

go to yourstyles-site.css...

#container {
		background:#FFF;
		border:1px solid #FFF;		
		}
and add one line:
		line-height: 1.2em;
to get
#container {
		background:#FFF;
		border:1px solid #FFF;		
		line-height: 1.2em;
		}

Then rebuild your site; It should work.
