IE6
I wonder how many bugs in Internet Explorer 6 have been worked around by just adding some non-whitespace at a certain location within the document flow...

For example:
- Three columns layout. All columns have lots of stuff, variable heights, fixed widths.
- If middle column longer than left column, under certain conditions something at the bottom will spill to the left instead. Usually is something that spans the whole column width.
- If that happens, add some one-liner nonsense at the bottom of the second column, and magically it works again.
- The trick is, that nonsense can't be whitespace. You have to hide it by equalling color with background.
