    HI! My site is screwed in IE 6 and is fine in IE6. I'd like to display an alert message to IE6 users but not for anything else. I tried the following:

    
    <!--[if gte IE 6]>
    <div>
    <p class="alert">Alert: It appears you are using an outdated Internet Browser. To display this site properly, you must be using a better browser. We recommend Mozilla Firefox. You can learn more about Firefox <a href="http://getfirefox.com">here</a>.</p>
    </div>
    <![endif]--->
    
    Code (markup):
    But, it still seems to show up in IE7. How can I stop this?


    PS: It wont show in firefox :)

    1. Your post is unclear, edit: "My site is screwed in IE 6 and is fine in IE6"

    2. If you want your site to show normally in a most popular browser (for today), then fix the code and make sure it works with IE6 or else majority of the visitors wont see your site.

    Whoops! Sorry about that. The site is

    http://www.dodesign.fh-net.com/thewriter/

    It works in IE7 (which is what I meant to say) and has PNG Transparency problems in IE6. It isn't a big deal, but doesn't look too good. I've done about all I could to fix it, but i've given up on IE6. Now what I would like to know is how to I make some of the HTML show up only for IE6 and not IE7 or Firefox etc..
