> ...IE5 recognizes conditional comments... This is news to me - I would appreciate an example - but when you say IE5 recognises, do you mean ALL versions of IE5? Because if this is true, then using this method to work around IE5 for Windows' *incorrect* box model will cause problems in IE5 for Macs' *correct* box model.
This is why I stick with the Tantek hack - it's the only one I've found that will correct the issue with the ONE problem browser amongst others. Yes, it does exploit a parsing bug to force IE5Win to fall over on the particular style definition the hack is written into, but provided you clean up after yourself (hence the "Be nice to Opera" section of the hack and resetting the invalid value for the "voice-family" property after it's served it's purpose) it will go unnoticed. And in regards to other people not understanding it, removing the supposedly-erroneous line which causes display problems, I kinda have to say "tough luck". My code is always commented so *I* know where everything is, and if I share my CSS with anybody, I provide a complete walkthrough of why things are coded the way they are and what to avoid changing. If somebody rips the CSS out of my site without my permission and they don't understand the Tantek hack then I really couldn't care less - I'm not going to go to the trouble of protecting my source and files, but it's not my problem if the leech doesn't understand it. But as I've said previously, this is just my personal preference. If you could give me an example of IE5's conditional comment ability so I can try it out that would be great.
