I wish!

OK learnt a new thing today, it was brought to my attention that this tag

if IE

might help me, and it did! on this occasion, so I looked up the internet about this tag and some sites say use it, others call it a hack? so what is it?

From what I can find out it gives instructions to your browser, if you are IE 5 or above do this! or if you are not IE do some thing else!

Are there any [if FF commands? (Firefox) as a recent survey in Computer Shopper stated that Firefox user were on the increase and were threatning IE dominance.

Can you change scrollbar colours in Firefox?

Hopefully? this thread should now be available to those with IE was that a flaw in code or what? sorry about that folks who would have thought a title of a thread would wipe out a thread.

It's because the subject of the thread contains <!--[if IE]>, which appears in the page title, but hasn't been stripped sufficiently.

This means that it is seen as the beginning of an HTML comment in Firefox, Opera, etc, and only ends when they come to the closing --> within the </script> element, by which time it's bypassed the style sheet code.

IE, on the other hand, sees the beginning of a conditional comment, but not closing conditional comment, doesn't know what to do, so shows nothing.

See what you've done Digitrader :)
