The easiest approach is to use IE's conditional comments ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/ccomment_ovw.asp). You only need to play clever parser games when you have browsers that report the same version, but behave differently (ex: IE 5.5 on intel vs mac) <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="standards compliant.css"> <!--[if IE]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="any_ie.css"><![endif]--> <!--[if lt IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="pre_ie_7.css"><![endif]--> <!--[if gte IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie_7.css"><![endif]--> dcm ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
