good point. There's always the tan hack, but probably the better way to
go is to exploit IE/Macs lack of @media support.
@media screen {

Nothing wrong with 'conditional comments'
I always weigh it up with the cost of CC code size plus the server trip
for the file, vs. the code size for inline '* html hacks', usually the
latter method wins.

I forgot about this earlier, but that's the reason for the comment hack
to hide from IE5/Mac.

Yes, I know. I think you misread my e-mail. I knew it was broken in
IE6, I'm looking for a way to fix it. Any ideas?

The * html hack will not pose a problem as long as IE 7 fixes its other
bugs and inconsistencies (it will just ignore the * html like other good
browsers, and -

Personally I think building/testing/making long-term strategy for a

and can't do until it is actually released. Until

Personally, I have an aversion for adding cruft that only works in a

Sure, it validates, but it's just proprietary browser

What about conditional comments? I don't think that really matters much
anyway, since IE Mac is officially obsolete (i.e. now completely
unsupported by Microsoft) and I think some unwanted hacks
