Thanks. That worked on all three browsers. Now I have a problem
putting it into my real app.

First, I put the javascript into a separate file. I also put the css
stuff into a css file but left the conditional code (CC) in the app
directly. That all still worked.
===> http://www.sheldonlg.com/popup/popupLoc5.html

Then I tried putting the CC into the css file. That no longer worked.
===> http://www.sheldonlg.com/popup/popupLoc6.html

That told me that the CC had to be in the app page and not in a linked
css file.

Now, the real app that I need to fix uses an application template with
Smarty (I am not familiar with Smarty). It links in a css file. When I
put the CC into the application template (right before the </head>), I
got an error:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in application_container.tpl line 14]:
syntax error: unrecognized tag: position: absolute;
followed by a traceback dump.

My question is, how do I get the CC into the app page in this
configuration?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smarty

"Smarty is a web template system written in PHP."

Since my error is in Smarty, and I researched and found the above line,
I added comp.lang.php to the other two groups.

Now I will repeat my question:

Think of conditional comments as html comments. That is what they are,
only IE sees Conditional Comments as conditional comments, all other
browsers see them as html comments.

So with that, html does not belong in a css file.

The way to link an external style sheet using conditional comments:

I don't know what Smarty is or anything about it.

I suggest you try the above example of the conditional comment with the
link element.

If that fails, perhaps a server side include or php print.

So? Both Windows and Linux were written in C. By your logic, Windows
and Linux administrative and usage questions should be asked in a C
programmers group.

If you have Smarty questions, ask in the Smarty support forums.

I repeat. What is your PHP question?

link rel=StyleSheet href="ie6.css" type="text/css"
![endif]--

That didn't work.

The last post in any of the three Smarty forums was on Jan 4. Not much
chance of getting an answer there!

So, Jerry, bitch all you want, but I will still post it here, as this,
and the alt.html and comp.lang.javascript, are my best shots at reaching
someone who knows about Smarty and can help me -- whether or not it is
strictly on topic.

I figured out how to not make it choke on the conditional code. I
surrounded that code with {literal} {/literal}. However, it doesn't
bring in that code.

And you'll continue to prove you're a clueless idiot.

You didn't even try the smarty support forums, did you.

And I'll keep telling you this is not the place to ask such questions.
Notice how many people are answering you? That should be your second clue.
