Many designers refuse to use the Q tag because Internet Explorer does not support it. But this is a bad idea because the Q tag provides markup for your text and lets you style quotations more readily. So rather than not using the Q tag you can use this quick fix to make quote marks surround all Q tags regardless of what browser they are in. And the best thing is, this solution is upward compatible - if IE ever does start to support this tag, these styles will still work.
