Actinic removing my CSS hacks - help required

[skinnybloke]

Hi - I want to include the following CCS hack in the header of my pages:

<!--[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
#container {
height: 100%;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

Because I have "Compact html/cgi" selected, Actinic appears to treat this as a comment and removes it.

If I remove the comments the text is displayed in non-IE6 browsers.

Is there a way I can get this to load up in my Actinic pages to work as required?

There are various solutions available to hide CSS from legacy browsers ... see http://www.ericmeyeroncss.com/bonus/trick-hide.html amongst others

Of course - thanks for that.

Was that the book that Santa brought Jonty? Looks good.

Santa kindly brought PHP (and a MYSQL) book as I had no real knowledge of either .. Ulysees is looking preferable at the moment

if you really want to include the code, then you must prevent actinic thinking that its a comment
try including this bit of code at the top of your pages - it will still work and WILL get through the compact html

		<script language="javascript">
			document.write("\<\!--\[if IE\]\>");
			document.write("\<\!\[endif\]\-\-\>");
		</script>

looks strange, but it works.

Hi Kevin - I need to include the following inside the javascript that you have specified but I can't get it to work. I've tried using escape characters in just about every position but without any luck.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="cyan_ie_6_hack.css" media="screen" />

would this not work

<script language="javascript">
	document.write("\<\!--\[if IE\]\>");
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="cyan_ie_6_hack.css" media="screen" />
<script language="javascript">
	document.write("\<\!\[endif\]\-\-\>");
</script>

I am relativly new to javascript but i think that should create

<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="cyan_ie_6_hack.css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->

In the finished HTML

Try it and see. Put it in the BODY and use some plain text instead of the <link ...> line and see what happens.

I think this fails in Firefox.

There are other posts on Conditional HTML that may help.
