Yes I've been testing and comparing using that site all along. Considering that I'm trying to accomplish cross-browser and cross-platform fix for the initial problems, what you see and what I see could have been very different things, hence my request for a screenshot from you. However, that said, I now get your talking about and can see the same. I will work out another way to reveal the 2nd level tabs. For now I'll that part back, this will hide them from IE7 users (possibly IE6 too but I don't have that any more). Using conditional statements and sending IE users to another stylesheet would be the appropriate solution. All these tantek and others hacks do not work in IE7 or above, separate stylesheets are the way to go for cross-browser solutions. That however goes against your current thinking of reducing stylesheets.
