It is picking up the conditional comment because you can see the red border. Not sure why cos I'm sure it worked like this yesterday, but it seems like

#news_left p { margin-leftt: 160px; }

should be

#news_left p { margin-right: 160px; /* or some other value */ }

Hi John

IE5.5 doesn't seem to pick up the conditional comments. What have I done
wrong?

Subject: Re: [WSG] display problem with IE 5.5

On the 'position:absolute;' problem, make sure you are nesting it in
something with 'position:relative;' to give it coordinates to work from
beside the top of the page which is the default behavior.

I actually meant to use conditional comments to serve IE5.5 different

rules from everything else. So put back whatever you had for the page
to  start with and then add something like this below all your other
styles:

    <!--[if lt IE 6]>
        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
            div#wrapper {
                position: relative;
                float: none;
                width: auto;
            }
            #news_left {
                margin-right: 220px;
            }
            #news_left p {
                margin-left: 160px;
            }
            #news_right {
                position: absolute;
                right: 0;
                top: 70px;
                width: 220px;
                margin: 0;
                padding: 0 0 0 5px;
            }
        </style>
    <![endif]-->
