Why are you suggesting in the first place to pollute your source with different conditional comments on every single page of a site. That seems like to much work and maintenance for me. Is that what you do? Please take a look at the source of my (old template) which I see offline in my NoteTab. <http://css-class.com/test/offline-source.txt> In the source you will find this line after the linked style sheet. <!--#include virtual="test-style-script.txt" --> <http://css-class.com/test/test-style-script.txt> Now after reading the text in the above include you will possibly now be reconsidering why you have hard coded those conditional comment in the first place. Take a look at my source again which I see offline and look at the tail end of it. In one of those includes is this line of code. <div class="ie6fix"><!-- this class is only needed for IE6/Win or earlier --> All I have to do is pull that line of code out of that include when IE6 disappears over the horizon (2020). This is the filtering hack I'm now using. /*\*//*/ @import url("test-ie8.css"); @import("test-ie.css"); /**/ @import test-ie; /* For IE5~7/Win */ The second import is for IE/Mac. Please note my message to Alex. IE8 conditional comment will target bundled IE versions. So testing really becomes a mess when using conditional comments. I not targeting browsers but filtering the good browsers out of disastrous mess and rescuing others from the abyss. I have finished the template now and it now appears live. http://css-class.com/test/ Alan http://css-class.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
