Murray - conditional statement

<!--[if gte IE 5]>
<style>
#menu a {height: 1px; }
</style>
<![endif] -->


You have this on a site you just listed to a poster...
http://www.midwestespresso.com/
too tired to look it up right now, but am wondering what bug does this
address?
Is there a list of these conditional statements - or do you make them up as
needed
I need to read up on this a bit more, much prefer them to using all those
rotten hacks!

It's there for superstitious reasons! 8)

It fixes a bug in IE that causes adjacent block-level elements to not get
their block dimensions properly calculated in IE5+. By forcing IE to
examine the block's dimensions, triggered by this conditional, you avoid
that problem.

I think.

Oh, heck, ask Al! 8)

That's reason enough
