Is it possible to avoid, for instance IE6 specific stylesheets, from being added to the compressed stylesheet?
I need to fix some IE6 issues but when I create my IE conditional comments the stylesheet, which is IE6 specific is added to the compressed style-sheet and therefore my fixes for IE6 are influencing all the good browsers :)
I use IE6 hacks (like the * hack) rather than separate stylesheets when I've got compression turned on. I don't usually have very many IE6-specific styles so it doesn't add much overhead for even the good browsers.
That could off course be a possibility. I'll consider using that approach. I think it makes perfect sense actually when one is using compression. Just got a bit puzzled, because I had actually forgotten all about the activation of compression.
But I'll stick around and see if Peter has another solution or work-around for this. :)
Best way to currently stop them from being compressed is to add them to the exclusion-list in the config-file. Like Douglas says, there probably aren't that many specific items. Not compressing those doesn't really hurt that much.
Offcourse, Douglas' approach will work fine as well too allthough it might need a bit of work if you allready have a IE6-specific stylesheet.
