Hi Jonathan,
Yes, it’s true but we would inhibit all versions of IE for Mac of
displaying the page correctly, which is a shame as this browser still is
worth the trouble and there is many people stucked with it and mac OS 9.
I think I will keep my odd solution with a CSS styles sheet just for
IE5WIN filled with lots of !important declarations and wrapped in a
conditional comment.
Thanks anyway!

I really think, in my very humble opinion, that it's hard to make a website
to function in IE 5.0, unless my "multiple IE" testing method provides me with
<snip>
It's a shame that the @import doesn't hide styles from these versions
of IE. It would make things a lot easier...
If you do an @import with the following syntax (single quotes, no parethesis),
IE5.5 and up get the file, but IE5 doesn't.
@import'stylesheet.css';
My newest method is to include a link to a style sheet called 'filter.css.'
Then all the filter.css file has is the @import statement above. That way only
modern browsers (and IE5.5 and up) see the style sheet. Other browsers will
just get the unstyled markup.
You may want to find out the percentage of your audience that's using those
older browsers. For my sites, I find it's so low I don't worry about it.
