I just got into web development 2 months ago for a personal project. I am know facing an issue for which I would appreciate some advice of experienced people. In my project, I am using a lot css3 “effects”: border-radius, box-shadows, gradients,etc. The thing is, I am now confronted to cross-browser issues. So my question is simple. Is it better to apply css hacks or use images (psd slicing)? Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc.

I think you want to do a combination of both. PSD slicing will make it harder to update and maintain, whereas hacks don’t usually get you what you want. Check out http://css3pie.com/ to see how you can incorporate most of the CSS3 techniques with IE. It’s a great resource and I use it every day. It only works well for some items though, like drop shadow doesn’t work well with PIE. For something like that you might do a background image of a drop shadow.
