Is IE Mutating? - 7/10/2006 18:15:29
I am starting to really get in into CSS menus and found one at Listamtic.com (Vertical Button Menu).
On Listamatic.com it works in IE, FF & Opera. But when I set it up for my application, for some reason I had to have two style sheets, one for IE and one for FF & Opera.
I worked through this problem after playing around with various widths. IE liked 100% and the other two wanted pixels to fit in the allocated table. I learned how to employ two style sheets reading this thread at Outfront and a link posted by Tailslide on that thread for Brucelawson.com
So for a over a month I had the following code in the head of each sheet that uses the Listamatic button menu
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="site.css">
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="site_ie.css" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
Having the two style sheets with the above code in each page was working great. Then all of a sudden I notice today that the menu looks off in IE. So I deleted the "if IE" and now it works fine in IE with the base style sheet that is intended for FF and Opera.
I have IE 6.0 and now it looks fine.
Please review the menu here ( http://www.jodylavender.com ) and let me know if it looks okay in whatever version of IE you are using.
EDIT: for a short while the Autograph Request Page ( http://www.jodylavender.com/request.htm ) is showing the menu off in IE. I cannot connect to my host from work, so I will upload this page later tonight.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks, Ed

Hi Ed
It looks fine in IE6 but not quite right in IE5 and IE5.5.
My guess is that because you've got a full DOCTYPE, IE6 is working in Standards Mode and thus behaving itself. What you could do is to offer the IE only stylesheet just to IE5.5 and IE5 like this:
<!--[if lt IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="site_ie.css" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
This basically will feed your stylesheet to anything earlier than IE6
