Richard, I just recently discovered that IE supports "conditionl comments", which allow you to, among other things, load specific CSS in IE. For detail, see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512.aspx
I was able to use this feature to my advantage on a project to load the main CSS file for all browsers, and maintain a small "delta" CSS file for IE that replaces a couple of specific classes that IE handled differently than FF. If you'll add this as the first block in your page style: * { font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; /* this is the correct syntax for a CSS font list, accordint to TopStyle */ font-size: 12px; } it'll set the global default font and size. And if you change to: .toolbar a { color: white; text-decoration: none; } IE will display the correct color for the toolbar links. Neither change appears to affect the page display in FF. I may find time over the weekend to see if I can fix the radiused corners, and the broken cascading hover menus on the toolbar under IE6. -Clark ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Sent: Friday, November 9, 2007 10:27:21 AM Subject: Re: [sqlite] Suggests for improving the SQLite website Joe Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You chose to embed the CSS settings on each page to avoid the round > trip to the web server.

Dan points out that if you put the CSS in a separate file, then sometimes a browser will render the page without CSS, then when the CSS arrives a fraction of a second later, everything shifts. I'd rather avoid that. I am now also told that web pages need to be designed for three separate browsers: IE6, IE7, and all others. This is madness. -- D.
