IE Conditional Comments

Browser detection using JavaScript is a touchy subject these days.

Setting IE's font size to match the rest of the world's browsers is no easy task. Or is it? Many themers feel a need to adjust the naturally gargantuan tendency of IE's fonts, or use a CSS hack to force IE to comply with a proper box model. Unfortunately for Palm Pilot users, Blackberries, screen readers, and even older versions of Opera, turning to JavaScript browser detection is a failed proposition. There are so many different browsers and screen sizes out there that it becomes impossible to feed each one it's own unique style sheet.

The savvy themer will no doubt be asking, "Why not use one style sheet for all browsers, and then use JavaScript to feed IE it's own settings?" Good point, but there's a better way than scripting to get this done.

Hooray! I've posted a blog!

Ok, so I've created my own website, and I installed a blog. I've always wanted a place to write down my random musings and my rants against the insane things that I see in life. The problem is, now I lean here against the wide-open catalyst that is my own blank page, and I have nothing to say. I should have set up this website last year, when I had stuff going on. Oh, not that my life is drab and boring right now, it's just that I have always had something to say, and MySpace was too crappy to use.

Page 1. In my next session, I plan to engage in a fighting style of the mind. A joust which has no sides. An intellectual kabuki theatre. More to follow...
