I just completed a new design for a personal web site. After finishing
the basic CSS stuff and double-checking it in Safari, FF, Opera, et al.,
I put on my war paint and fired up IE7 to figure out what kind of hacks
I'd have to apply. Delightfully, IE7 only needed four or five tweaks
this time around...
But next I opened the test page in my IE6 VM, and it took me a few
seconds to even realize what the heck I was looking at. I could
possibly make it render halfway decently with several hours' work, but
why bother? It's just a crummy personal web page. What I'd like to do
instead is to somehow trick IE6 into not loading any styles whatsoever,
so that the page renders like it would in, e.g., lynx; I have the luxury
of not jumping through hoops for IE6 users here, but I don't feel like
leaving the site non-navigable to them, either.
I know about the <!--[if lte IE 6]>...<![endif]--thing, but what I
want is basically the logical inverse of that, so that I can prevent IE6
from loading any of my CSS to begin with: some relatively stable way of
making an @import directive or an HTML <link rel="stylesheet"... />
visible to everything *but* IE6.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
