Is there a workaround? Yes. Embed the correct version of the rule on the page. ID has to be unique on the page so IE6 is correct in stopping on the mismatch since when it finds the ID'ed tag with the wrong class on it since there can not be another tag with that ID to match. While it is theoretically valid to have more than one possible match, this would only be valid if the rules occur in a *.css Style Sheet. In that case, at least in theory, the rules could be intended to apply to different pages and should thus the rules should be fully parsed. Also, again at least in theory, if you rewrite the DOM text (and thus alter the class), the mismatch should NOT stop the parse. -- Bob Rosenberg RockMUG Webmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.RockMUG.org ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
