<p>An interesting top 12 list has been published, on using Javascript to fix 12 common browser headaches:

Setting Equal Heights (jQuery example: $("#col1, #col2").equalizeCols();)
IE6 PNG Alpha Transperancy support
Changing CSS Classes in JavaScript
Browser selectors in CSS ($('html').addClass($.browser);)
min-/max- height & width support
Center Elements Vertically / Horizontally
Display Q tags in Internet Explorer
Increase the size of click targets and get more call-to-action conversions
