IE 6 not recognizing alt stylesheet

[laughhearty]

I have literally spent 4 hours trying to find out why this isn't working.

My style sheets:

I'm using parallels on a macbook pro.

I'm about to pull my hair out!

maybe is this:

[if lte IE 6]>

Edit: sorry, I don't find the link, more exactly what I have is broken now,
try to play decimals ,6.0 or try to use lt for ie 7

found this on Wordpress support forum:


You wouldn't happen to be testing this on a windows machine with IE 6 and IE 7 installed would you? If so, then a bug related to conditional comments will take over and treat all conditional comments as though the browser is IE 7. So if you're trying to load the conditional comments in IE 6 or below, it simply will not work for you. You must find a computer that has only IE 6 installed in order to give it a proper test.

I'll post this in case others have run into this problem.
If you are running Multiple IE and you've got IE6 and IE7 installed there's a bug where the latest version will only respond to conditional CSS files.
I had to remove IE7 and IE6 remained. Voila! Conditions for IE6 are now working. Inorder, to test and add conditionals to IE7, I have to install it then uninstall.
I'm running windows XP so I have IE6 as default browser. Don't know if this will help folks running Multiple IE under Vista.

One day, and I hope it's soon, IE 6 will be as rare as IE5!

I always just have one stylesheet for both, IE 6 and 7 (included with lte IE 7 conditional) and in that stylesheet I’m using the * html hack to adress IE 6 only if necessary. It’s working for me (altough my setting is Parallels with an old copy of Win XP (SP 1), IE 6 as default installation and IE 7 as standalone version) and saves me from that hassle of mutiple different stylesheets just for IE.
