Can I make NS4 and IE4 ignore the CSS

[Chris]

Hello

The specific code in my HTML pages is as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/welcome.css" type="text/css"
media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/print.css" type="text/css"
media="print" />

And so on...

I am trying to get NS4 and IE4 to ignore the CSS and simply display
the plain structured HTML content. Both browsers are intent on
displaying the styled page as well they can (poor fellows!) but it
looks bad.

Any ideas what I can do in the code to fix the problem?

Thanks
Chris

Poor fellows indeed. Try using the @import directive (see
http://hem.fyristorg.com/g-force/test/hidecss.htm) - using syntax like

<style type="text/css"><!--
@import "hidefromie4.css";
--></style>

should get you what you want. IE4.5Mac will still pick this up though
IIRC . . . the importance you place on that is a different matter ;)
