I finally decided I needed to sort out the font size in safari mobile, after a little tinkering it turns out you can just set the -webkit-text-size-adjust to "none" and that stops the browser from resizing the text.
body {
-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;
}
window.attachEvent ('onscroll', function(){
// layout fix for IE7 disappearing text, element has layout so resorting to this madness!
document.getElementById('buttonMoreSections').style.backgroundColor=(document.documentElement.scrollTop % 2)? '#fff':'white';
})
In my little world IE8 usage over took IE7 for the first time last month, so decided to try to sort out my JavaScript fades which I disable for IE. The problem with the fades is after the fade in ends the text is blurred, fuzzy and generally butters!
/** @id Transition.SetOpacity */
function SetOpacity(el,opacity){
opacity = (opacity>=100)? 100 : opacity;
el.style.opacity = (opacity / 100);
el.style.MozOpacity = (opacity / 100);
el.style.KhtmlOpacity = (opacity / 100);
// private method to set opacity in IE
setIEOpacity(el,opacity)
function setIEOpacity(el,opacity){
if (!el.currentStyle.hasLayout){
// give element layout
el.style.zoom = 1;
}
if (!el.originalFilter){
// save the original filter, if one exists, so you can replace it after fade
el.originalFilter = el.currentStyle.filter || 'none';
}
// if opacity = 100 put the original filter back
el.style.filter = (opacity == 100) ?
el.originalFilter :
'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity='+ opacity + ')';
}
}
Like most developers for the past couple of years I've been implementing form checking on a field by field basis so when a user is filling in a form field the client side error checking is run. This has a couple of advantages, firstly the users gets the errors there and then, so when they get to the end of the form it should be valid and ready to submit, also it's quite fun to implement! 
The browser matrix was quite handy in days of yor, when browsers worked in quite fundamentally different ways from each other (remember NS4 vis IE4?). Nice then to just pick a couple of browsers to support, you couldn't really expect your site to work on anything that you hadn't tested it on anyway.
