Hello Erik, This is still hacking HTML for IE7 or lower due to lack of support for CSS2.1. My CSS and hacks are *centralized* as oppose to being *decentralized* in the HTML. They can be removed in a flash. > I'd actually argue that if your conditional IE 6-7 CSS files are so > big as to be unmaintainable, it's probably time to revisit how you're > doing your CSS to begin with. > > Erik This is how I now serve IE7 or below my special CSS. <http://css-class.com/test/css/selectors/ie/import-hacks.htm> My regular CSS, <http://css-class.com/test/epsilon-0-1.css> and IE7 fixes. Yes there were IE8 beta fixes to. <http://css-class.com/test/test-ie-all.css> My CSS is never unmaintainable, but rather a bit to nasty for the browsers to handle. CSS could be much more simpler with much lest ids' and classes' in the HTML code and the use of sibling, structural pseudo and attribute selectors. <http://css-class.com/test/css/selectors/> These selectors and minimal use of ids' and classes' in the HTML is demo'd here. <http://css-class.com/test/epsilon.htm> This demo holds quite well together in IE7. It even looks better in IE5/Mac than it does in IE6. I not here to support IE6 or any other antiquated browsers. My CSS is hopefully a glimpse into the future. -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
