How to Upgrade CSS Selectors for IE6

If you use cascading style sheets or CSS to design your website, you know there are compatibility issues with Internet Explorer 6. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if every user had the latest IE update, but that isn't the case. In order to ensure all viewers of your site have no issues when they visit your webpage, you will have to edit some of your CSS selectors to make them compatible with IE6.

Instructions

1. Click "Start," "All Programs" and click "Notepad" to open the text editor.

2. Click "File," "Open" and double-click your HTML file with the CSS scripts you want to revise.

3. Type the following script to upgrade CSS selectors for IE6:

   <!--[if IE 6]>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6style.css">
   <![endif]-->

   Replace the second line with the CSS style sheet you want to use.

4. Save your HTML file and upload it to your website to test its functionality and compatibility.
