IE once again sucks

On some of our websites, we use conditional comments to control CSS hacks for Internet Explorer. If you create static copies of a website (or mirror), never forget that only IE will follow the @import links inside conditional controls - tools like httrack or wget certainly will not, because they know how to behave! This fact cost me almost an hour today.

    Hi there, an old post I know. Did you ever get wget/httrack to fetch IE specific CSS from IE's conditional comments?

    Sorry Russell, I did not. If you ever find a solution, please leave a comment about it.
