Hi,

I am using Blue print CSS and it works fine in Firefox...but when I look at it in IE, even with the for IE lt IE8, it still doesn't seem to be working right in terms of spacing and alignment.

Any suggestions on what I can do to make it look proper?

Are you including the ie.css file? Below the regular blueprint css files, include the ie.css file, using the notation that only IE will parse:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../blueprint/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection"> 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../blueprint/print.css" type="text/css" media="print"> 
<!--[if lt IE 8]><link rel="stylesheet" href="../../blueprint/ie.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection"><![endif]-->

Make sure that all the URLs to the CSS files are correct and are working on your site also.

I second this answer. They intentionally put all of the IE hacks in a separate file to keep the code neat. IMO, it's great to have it separate in the unoptimized src/ version, but who isn't at least trying to support IE? I'm not sure why it has to be separate.

How can I check, my code does show teh IE hack and the other blueprint files are coming through properly. It for the most part, appears right in IE, *except* for the alignment of the <legend> text and the lines in the <fieldset>
