====== conditional coding for IE ======

===== conditional styling =====
You need to do something different in css styling depending on the user having IE, or a specific version of IE.  This is common because you may design to web standards, and only need small tweaks to make something work with IE.  Use something like this in the HEAD of your page.
<code>
<!--[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
	.yourclassname{your ie 6 specific styling}
</style>
<![endif]-->
</code>
