I'm working on a site where a rather important chunk of the layout pretty badly on IE4. I've decided that I can live without that layout nuance in that browser, though, so I'm working on trying to hide it from IE4.

Ordinarily, this would be no problem; I know several techniques (the infamous "Box Model Hack" for example). However, thanks to Microsoft's "genius," these same techniques all seem to hide that same bit of layout from IE5/Windows (though not IE5/Mac). I don't want to do that, obviously. So I'm left looking for some nice CSS bug in IE4 that was fixed in IE5 which I can exploit.

Anyone got any ideas?

Could you re-explain what it is that you'd like to accomplish? If you'd like to load 2 different .CSS depending on the user's browser then just use an if statement and .indexOf to detect the users browser and document.write the <link rel.... *.css> line conditionally if it's one browser and something else if it's other browsers.

That's what I ended up doing. I'm going to use PHP to sniff the browser on the server end and serve up a different stylsheet. Which is just as well; I was going to use PHP anyway for some other stuff.
