This fabulous ‘trick’ works also in my IE 7 when I don’t put [if lt IE 7] in but use [if lt IE 8]. I wonder if I should already put in [if lt IE 42] or something like that…

Thanks for sharing this!

“After this post being active for over a year now, it continues to draw in consistent traffic from around the internet.” Heck, it’s five years later, and we’re still supporting IE7 if not IE6.

Thank you for the work, way back when.

The sad fact is that it’s 2010 and this post is still as useful today as the day it was written. Thanks and kudos to you, Alistair, and shame on you, Microsoft.

Hi,

The question asked by Rory/Shaz (Post 15) is still unanswered. Please can someone shed light on the solution. IE does not allow onClick/mouseover functions on Option values and this has made my luife hell.

Thanks.
