Hi All, I have decided to load 2 seperate stylesheets for Internet Explorer and Firefox. As you know, the code in RadiantCS by default looks nice and tight using Firefox but in IE, is more open. Under old HTML sites, it was easy to add a Javascript in the section to load as required however with Radiant, that is not so simple. What is the best solution for this? Locate the specific .rhtml files for the site and edit each to include a Javascript/stylesheet modification or make an entry in each page through Radiant, to load a seperate stylesheet? ## Cheers, Ben.

Ben, Is the problem with the administration interface or with content on your site (the public-facing site)? It’s hard to tell from your description. Sean ---

Hi Sean, Good question: it is the public facing site. ---

btw there are some problems in admin javascripts: 1. when you collapse a tree node it won’t expand again 2. in IE pages under tree node are sorted in reverse order… don’t know why yet, maybe it’s some bug of reorder extension… ---

Ben, I think that I understand your problem (I have a similar situation). The solution depends on your exact needs: If EVERY page needs this, then the magic that makes your styles work goes in your main, site layout – right in the section as you mentioned. Then, if every page uses this layout, every page gets your magic. If you only need this for a few select pages, then you either create a custom layout for those pages and apply that layout to the needed pages or, use a method similar to the one I mention in this post: [http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/109023](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/109023) As an aside, since I found that I needed a few extra css definitions ONLY for IE 5 & 6, I used IE proprietary conditional statements (like: )instead of javascript browser detection. I’m not a huge fan of IE conditionals normally, but because it was IE only, this was a very clean way to accomplish my goals. Had I also needed a stylesheet to handle Safari bugs (or Opera, etc), I’d have gone the way of js. Just a suggestion. -Chris ---

Hi Chris, Thanks for the info, these IE/FF issues are site wide, so the option will be the go. Since you mentioned Safari and Opera, I should check the site against them also. Cheers, Ben.
