Having just put together my first real webpage (still pretty basic)
let me tell you (I'm sure you know) its a royal PITA. I've had to make
an extra style*** just for stupid IE and then put a check for IE in
the headers.
No good solution, since headers can be manipulated at will. You better use
Conditional Comments[0] which only IE’s > 5.0 understand.

how telling it is that the above link start with:

"One of the most common operations performed in a Web page is to detect
the browser type and version. Browser detection is performed to ensure
that the content presented to the browser is compatible and renders
correctly...."

anyway, what I'm doing is:

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link href="ie-web.css" rel="style***" type="text/css">
<![endif]-->

OK, so you are using CC’s.

within the <head> tag. It seems to work pretty well, and i suspect I'm
a victim of not knowing the right terminology. I also suspect, since I
don't have access to IE7, that it doesn't work properly for that.

Heard about IEs4Linux[1]? It makes testing in IE7 pretty simple. (For IE7 you
need the beta.)

hmmm... very interesting but it makes my toes curl to think of
installing IE... What I really need to do it duplicate my windows qemu
image and upgrade IE in one of the two images. That makes me happier,
having that segregation...

thanks for the pointer though, I will research it more.
