I still have an old Mac here with system 9 with EI5.1 and the first page I have done is really awful in it. Previously, I tweaked every rule until I was satisfied, but now, I would just like to present a page that does not look completely chaotic. As I said, I checked the recent log files of the site and I know as a fact that there are still a few visitors using IE Mac. I'm sure the very few people who are still using such an old system do so because they have no choice so I'm just trying to be polite. Anyway, I think, that your (Philippe) page has given me a step towards a solution with this: =================== /*\*//*/ @import "ie5mac.css"; /**/ =================== Unless I'm mistaken, this will direct IE Mac (and only IE Mac) to a specific stylesheet. However, I didn't see any way to prevent IE Mac from reading the other stylesheets that are linked in the head (I'm not using @import). I would like to avoid using IE Mac specific hacks in the normal stylesheets. But if I have to, so be it. Thanks, Ellen P.S.
