Is this CSS conditional legal?

Hiya!

Is this CSS conditional legal??

#menu a 
{
	float: left;
	height: 25px;
	[if !IE] padding: 0 20px;
        [if IE]  padding: 0 23px;
	color: #999;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	font: bold 12px/25px Arial, Helvetica;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #000;
}

It's just a silly difference in IE from the rest of the world that brings me to this point! Grrrrr!!

Thanks for your help!

No.

You can only use Microsoft conditionals in HTML or JScript - not in CSS.

Didn't think so! Just wanted to make sure before I go into 'I hate IE mode!'

Thanks!

There is most certainly a way around this but we can’t tell you unless we see the page in action.

No biggie! I put my thinking cap on and spent an extra half hour on it and got my three pixels compensated for it!

I just wish MS would play by the same rules that everybody else plays by and not just their own!
