Thanx for the link nick. Sounds promising :)
Hey philippe, you're right. I haven't thought about conditional comments at
all. Thanks.

Despite all the naysayers (most of whom would hate MS to fix _anything_,
as they'd have to find something else to whinge about), the IE team are
planning to fix quite a lot of stuff. See their list at
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/07/29/445242.aspx
for details.
Now that MS have engaged with the Web Standards Project, we can expect to
see a gradual improvement; but just fixing the bugs the IE team list in
the above-mentioned piece will sort out about 99% of the IE problems I
encounter on a daily basis.
However, we'll probably have to wait at least a couple of years before the
public upgrade in sufficient numbers for us to say "IE 6 is dead! Long
live IE 7!" :-(
So don't throw away your hacks just yet.
Regards,
Nick.
