Hei.... right now I'm using flash_test themes. When I check with IE 6, it's okay. But so many error in appearance when I use IE 5.

Is there any different CSS shoul I use for IE 5 ?

Internet Explorer 5 and 5.5 have a horrible reputation when it comes to CSS. They just don't render the pages as they should. Do a general search on google for 'CSS IE5', and you may find a few possible workarounds.

Or have a look under hacks in the download section were I submitted a hack that will allow you to weed out IE5 browsers and send them to their own CSS file.

Okay...It means I have to relace the old functions.php with the new one. But I still don't have any idea, what is the different CSS requirements for IE 5 and IE 6. Because I have to make two CSS File right ? One for IE 5 and one for IE 6.

Yes you have to have two CSS files. Just copy your style.css to style_ie5.css and optimise the style.ie5.css file for IE5 browsers.

Okay brash, I Appreciate all of your helps. I have to optimize the style_ie5.css file now. But how can I can test it on my PC, because I only have 1 IE (IE 6). Is there any tools that I can use to make an optimized version of style.css for using in style_ie5.css ?

Can't run two versions on the one PC unfortunately . What I do is run a program called VMWare which is a virtual machine which you can then install IE5 on.

mmm....VMWare, I've used it before. But unfortunately, It needs high hardware requirement that I don't have.

I'm still searching some tools that I can use to convert or validate my IE 6 CSS to be IE 5 enabled. It's hard to find

There also used to be a site that would load your site through several different versions of the most popular browsers so you could see who they looked. I wish I could remember where I saw it, but it was a few years ago now .

Hey....I've searched on Google to find any Tools that can convert or validate any CSS. And guess !!! I found "TopStyle Pro 3.10" It has a feature that can check your CSS syntax against multiple browsers. It has a trial version and a free version (with limited feature, but still can check your CSS syntax against 2 different browsers).

You can check it at TopStyle Pro 3.10
