HTML 5 provides some great new features for web designers who want to code readable, semantically-meaningful layouts. However, support for HTML 5 is still evolving, and Internet Explorer is the last to add support. In this tutorial, we'll create a common layout using some of HTML 5's new semantic elements, then use JavaScript and CSS to make our design backwards-compatible with Internet Explorer. Yes, even IE 6.
A resource you may find useful is the 1140px Grid created by Australian designer Andy Taylor. The 1140 grid fits perfectly into a 1280 monitor. On smaller monitors it becomes fluid and adapts to the width of the browser. The grid consists of twelve columns, which can be evenly divided into columns of two, three, four or six. In terms of browser support, Andy's grid works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE7, and IE8. IE6 (there's always one, isn't there?) doesn't support max-width, so the grid doesn't fix to 1140px. It spans the full width of the browser.

"UItoTop jQuery Plugin
Inspired by the great idea of David Walsh's jQuery topLink Plugin, I made a similar plugin but with two key differences, this one does not require you to add extra html markup or extra plugins to function. It will only work when JavaScript is turned on ( on purpose ), It's easy to setup with only one line of code, and it works cross-browser nicely ( Tested: IE6-8, FF, Safari )."
Google sent me an email that reminds me funny illustration by John Martz on similar situation... I assum it was on release of IE8.
I want to share some parts of Google mail to all of you.
