when you've got multiple installs of IE, conditional comments don't seem to work. How are people testing sites?

Strange, I've never noticed a problem? I've read that that's the case, but never experienced it.

Maybe since I test all my sites on my local WAMP install (with virtual hosts) I don't get that since IE doesn't really know that stickandink.dev is on my hard drive.

That's my guess.

Ditto, never had that happen to me either.

i seem to be getting perfect results - working fine in ie6, ie7 and very nearly ie5.5 without using conditional comments and with only 1 (w/idth) style hack ..

am i doing something wrong ??

This is local and remotely. It's the first time I've used conditional comments over the mid-pass filter.

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/wip/css/main.css" media="screen" />

<!--[if lte IE 5.5]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/wip/css/ie5win.css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/wip/css/ie6.css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->

The conditional comments are rendering as if all my versions of IE are v6. To test I'm having to keep removing and adding the comments.

edit - seems you can fix the problem by editing the registery. http://www.positioniseverything.net/...s/multiIE.html (Repairing Conditional Comments)
