<!--[if IE lte 6]> is junk markup, so it appears on the page and the browser ignores it. You have IE 6 installed as a standalone and IE 7 installed as your main IE browser right? Only one IE install responds to conditional comments, unless you managed to go through the registry work to change that. If anything, when you use <!--[if lte IE 6]> it probably is working but you can't tell since IE 6 doesn't get conditional comments at all on your computer. You should try: <!--[if lt IE 7]> and see if your IE 7 beta applies the CC (IE 7 beta is less than IE 7). If it does, then you know IE 6 should be applying it too. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... portfolio.christianmontoya.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
