IE and xhtml/css help
I'm working on a new site design and while it looks correct in all normal browsers it as one would expect IE isn't happy with this nice valid xhtml design. Most of my designs I stick with valid xhtlm strict and css and just say to hell with ie, but this one I sort of want to work in ie. Since I don't have experience dealing with ie's eccentricities I was hoping some more experienced eyes could help. IE6 is a must. MacIE and IE5 would just be icing on the cake, but not necessary (as long as they are still functional).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(tried thing and unless I am doing something wrong, it doesn't work)
[EDIT] Ok it looks like it works it just uses both stylesheets instead of just the alternative and MacIE doesn't recognize it[/EDIT]
