Jens -
I changed my code to:
<!--[if IE]>
<li><a href='#' title='Increase the visual size of the
website.'>
<span onclick='GoMagnify(\"Up\")'>
Magnify Page</span></a>
<a href='#' title='Set visual size of the website to
normal.'>
<span onclick='GoMagnify(\"Normal\")'>
Normal View</span></a></li>
<![endif]-->
Unfortunately, this does not appear to work. IE on a Windows 2000
computer sows it as a syntax error, and IE on a Windows XP computer
simply does not display the list item.
If I use the following code:
<!--[if IE]>
<li>this is a test</li>
<![endif]-->
it is also not listed.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Cheers -
george

When zooming pages in Opera, every element - images included - is
resized.

as you would like the list element only to be displayed in Internet
Explorer it would be best, if you wrapped the HTML inside conditional
comments instead of using navigator.appName for browser detection (which
is, by the way, the worst method for browser detection) and
document.write() :
<!--[if IE]>
<li>
content
</li>
<![endif]-->
Though being off-topic I would also like to draw your attention to the
fact, that document.write() would not work for proper XHTML documents
served as application/xhtml+xml. You should use DOM methods instead. And
last not least any event-handler should be in lowercase when using
XHTML.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
jens
