I'm building an ecommerce site for a clothing company, and I'm having some major issues with CSS. My layout looks fine in most browsers, but breaks horribly in IE 5.2 Mac. I think I just need a few CSS hacks to get this to work.

Can anyone help? At this point, I'd be willing to pay for a solution.

CSS on MacIE 5.2? My advise, and this is by all means serious, is to shoot people running IE 5.2 on a Mac. That browser is an utter POS! Luckily, there are a few hacks.

One:
Use javacscript detection to feed a "hacked" css file

Two:
Use the following to get MacIE 5.2 to read the css

.someClass {
width: 200px; /* the right width */
_width: 300px; /* width shown to buggy IE, overwrites prior value */
/*\*//*/
width: 400px; /*mac attack */
/**/
}
