In the case the html is opened in IE I want to use a different style sheet ONLY. However, it seems that it is pulling some elements properties from style.css as well. How can this be? Doesn’t the [if gte IE 5] ensure only IEstyle.css is used? What is the best way to fix this?
Thanks.

    styles.css still applies for styles that are not explicitly overridden in your IE stylesheet. The way you put it, styles.css gets always loaded.

    To prevent loading styles.css in IE use

    <![if !IE]>
