You should probably try and find what the issue is instead of applying a hack ;-))
 
The www.webstandardsgroup.org is a good place to ask CSS questions.. They have a mialing list.

Hi Stephen,
 
Thanks, but it's not actually for _javascript_. I have some positioning issues with my menus - the sub-menus display just fine in everything except IE5, where they overlap the main menu bar and are thus impossible to see or select. So I want to include a different stylesheet for IE5 users which will have some different numbers it it.
 
Cheers,
 
Seona.

Hi Seona,
 
If your doing the detection for _javascript_ capabilities, the best way is to do it in your _javascript_, and not rely on the cgi.user_agent string.  This string may not be passed if users have firewalls turned on their computers.
 
Your better off using something like this in your _javascript_:-
 
var ie = document.all?1:0;
var ie4 = (document.all && !document.getElementById)?  true : false;
var ns4 = (document.layers)? true : false;
var ie5 = (document.all && document.getElementById)? true : false;
var dom = (document.getElementById && !document.all)? true : false;
var isMac = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Mac") != -1)? true : false;
var ie45 = (ie4 && isMac && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("4.5")!=-1)? true : false;
 
HTH,
Steve

Hi Seona,

I use the value of cgi.http_user_agent to determine browser info.

This link might help...
