Help with IE 5.5 and 6

[Sandy K]

I use browsershots.org to help identify any problems with older versions of IE and other browswers. As you can see by the images shown here:

http://browsershots.org/http://www.brigittenoel.com/

that the top header in IE 5.5 and 6 are silver. These are the only two browswers that show it this way. I know from research there are only about 5 to 6% of users still using these browswers. I would like to find a fix for this. I am not the one who designed the website but I will be doing updates. I found this and would like to fix it for Brigitte. Can anyone help me? Is this the time where "!important" would be used in the CSS file for styling?

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I wouldn't worry much about IE5.5 - provided it's still usable but quite lot of folk still use IE6 - so I still write CSS for it - brought in with a conditional statement. I run IE5.5, IE6 and IE7 (as well as other browsers) on my computer for test purposes - can't remember where I downloaded the capability - may have been here.

Once you have that, you can play around with the CSS - google ie6 bugs css
