BUMP… Therehas to be something for this…
> Where can I ad a If statement to call a 2nd css file in my template directory that has the correct hex colors?
where is the current CSS you are using called?
I’ll hazard a guess its in a file named header.php
Unless im missing your point, this is one of those no-brainers.
What you’re trying to use is called a “conditional comment”. You put it just before the closing </head> tag in your header.php file. (That’s the safest place to put it, as you need it to show up *after* the other stylesheet calls – otherwise the regular stylesheet will override whatever you have set for your IE stuff.)
If all you’re doing is changing a few hex colors, you don’t really need to link to an entirely new stylesheet (although you *can*) – you can just put the stuff for IE right in there.
<!--[if IE]>
<style stype="text/css">
body {background:pink;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
Also, to make things easier on yourself (if you *do* want to just have a separate stylesheet for IE) – put the new stylesheet inside your theme – with the rest of the theme files you have. Then link to it like so:
<!--[if IE]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory); ?>/ie_style.css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->
Hope that helps you out.
Thanks doodlebee ill give that a try!

Using:
<!–[if IE]>
<style stype=”text/css”>
body {background:pink;}
</style>
<![endif]–>
Had no effect on IE vs FF inserting like this:
<head>
<!–[if IE]>
<style stype=”text/css”>
body {background:pink;}
</style>
<![endif]–>
<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<base href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>/” />
<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html;charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”screen,projection” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”print” href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>/print.css” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”text/xml” title=”RSS .92″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”Atom 0.3″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘atom_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”icon” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/favicon.png” />
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
———————————–
Inserting this:
<!–[if IE]
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory); ?>/ie_style.css” media=”screen” />
<![endif]–>
Get this error:
Hope that helps you o
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/imagehos/public_html/bombpost/wp-content/themes/neptune/header.php on line 26
Heres the code:
<head>

<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
First off:
<!--[if IE] –
you’re missing the end. Should be:
<!--[if IE]>
Secondly, I said right before the *closing* head tag. You have it at the start, which is why there would be no effect. It has to be at the end.
