Anyway, I parked up and entered the 18 storey [...]

Browser specific CSS
So you want to have a different stylesheet for different browsers. Well, what I have used in the past, is a method of specifying a different stylesheet for Internet Explorer browsers.
You would need to specify the link to your CSS in the <head> section as normal:
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”css/style.css” title=”Main Stylesheet” />
This stylesheet, of [...]
Morning people,
