You really shouldn't need to feed different CSS for every different version of IE.
I talk more about this here: http://live.visitmix.com/MIX10/Sessions/EX20 Feel free to ping me off list if you have any specific scenarios that you feel you need IE specific CSS for. I'll be happy to try and give you cross-browser equivalents. -- Tatham Oddie au mob: +61 414 275 989, us cell: +1 213 280 9140, skype: tathamoddie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Livingston Sent: Saturday, 28 August 2010 7:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WSG] html5 issue On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 3:11 PM, David Dorward <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 27 Aug 2010, at 19:30, Tom Livingston wrote: > >> Line 12, Column 21: A charset attribute on a meta element found after >> the first 512 bytes. >> >> Can anyone tell me why? > > > You have too much content before the meta tag. > That was it. I was using Paul Irish's trick with conditional comments to feed IE's CSS w/o conditionals with this: <!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; id="ie6"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 7 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; id="ie7"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 8 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; id="ie8"> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE 9 ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; id="ie9"> <![endif]--> <!--[if gt IE 9]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <![endif]--> <!--[if !IE]><!--><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";><!--<![endif]--> Mr. Irish using it on the body, with classes, but read on his site that using on the html element was fine as well. Guess not. I think I'll stick to the tried and true conditional comments it's it's traditional use...
