Good Bye, IE 5, for 2005
In case you haven’t noticed yet, as of sometime in late December, I decided for the commencement of 2005, I’d kick of the web design culture with my announcement that… I’m hiding styles on both IE5 Win & Mac.
Ok, that’s all I have to say.
However more importantly, if you’d like to join in on this effort, all you need to do is import your styles using the following method (verbatum).
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<!--
@import"styles.css";
-->
</styles>
Happy Belated New Year! If you’re interested in reading the other cheezy headlines I had came up with for this post, then read on…
- IE5, I hate you
- Knock knock; who’s there? IE5. Liar.
- It’s time to dump IE5 for good
- It’s been real, and it’s been fun. Aw who am I kidding. Yee Haa!
Got any others?

How about Internet Ebomination 5

I agree, but only for IE5 on Mac, yet. But don’t forget the media “projection”. This is needed by Opera in fullscreen-mode. Without that it won’t add the css-styles to the site.

Thanks Bjorn.
I often forget about Opera’s misbehavior. I’ve yet to come up with “great” reason’s to use Opera. They are still the IE-wanna-be browser but with lynx, tabbed-browsing, and some mouse gestures.

Why are hiding the styles from IE 5 Win? (Its CSS support is not that lacking — as opposed to IE 6 Win’s.)

I think IE6 would logically have better support than IE5 for windows.
you got a link for any kind of proof?

IE6 has different/more float bugs than IE5, but IE5 has the mother-of-all-blunders incorrect box model, so it’s kind of a mixed bag when supporting IE in any capacity.

Zactly. I live on on floats, margins, paddings, and positioning, as we all should. When a browser messes up my box…well that’s just not polite

do i have to use the line breaks?
style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
!–
@import”styles.css”;
–>
/styles>
or can i do
all one line???
i’d love to join this party…

[…] (optional) Limit your results by adding a tagName. Very useful when you’re toggling checkboxes and etcetera. You could just supply “input“. Or, if you’re like me, and you said Good Bye to IE5, you can use the “*” asterisk as a catch-all (meaning ‘any element). […]
