Solution for double margin bug in IE6

Here’s another one to cross off.

Problem:
Float a child block and add a margin on the same side as the float (so, margin-left if float: left, margin-right if float: right), and IE5-6 doubles the margin value.

Insane, right?

Solution:
For a long time, I simply halved the margin value in an IE conditional. Which is unacceptable when the margin value is odd.

But now, there’s a better solution. In the IE5-6 conditional:

.fix_doublemargin { display: inline; }

Happiness ensues!
