Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

styles.css still applies for styles that are not explicitly overridden in your IE stylesheet. The way you put it, styles.css gets always loaded.

To prevent loading styles.css in IE use

<![if !IE]>

I am thinking going forward I will wrap my entire pages in `<![if !IE]>` :)

thanks, I did not know that the way I had it always loads style.css, I thought that if it hit [if gte IE 5] it would REPLACE style.css with IEstyle.css

Answer 2

+3 A:

Not totally getting the thinking behind what you are doing, but you need this:

<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
<!-- <![endif]-->

<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="IEstyle.css" />   
<![endif]-->

Basically, "IF NOT IE" for the other styles, and "IF IE" for the styles you want.
