Simple Question, Maybe you could help?

Can I just go copy conditional comments
& then paste them in my line of code
that ws created by front-page 2003?
My website is currently optimised for IE7

Is it really that simple to make my website work in different browsers?
:)

If so, where exactly do I put the code? Kinda need that detail too.
If you can help lol

Thank you, I actually read this twice before though.
I have read over 8 different sites that discuss this
conditional comments. I appreciate your time,
But I was looking for more specific details.

Any other advice or help you can give is appreciated.
I'm really new to this web design stuff,
that's why I'm using Front page 2003,
But we all must learn somewhere, some time.

Self plug stylee: Home — CSS Wizardry — CSS, Web Standards, Typography and Grids

Look at the source code. You should see:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />	
	<meta name="robots" content= "ALL" />
	<meta name="description" content= "Semantic web development, web standards, CSS Wizardry and other stuff." />
	<meta name="keywords" content= "web standards, semantics, accessibility, typography, web developer, CSS, xHTML, Harry Roberts" />
	<meta name="author" content= "Harry Roberts" />
	<title>Home &mdash; CSS Wizardry &mdash; CSS, Web Standards, Typography and Grids</title>
	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://csswizardry.com/favicon.ico" />

	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://csswizardry.com/css/style.css" media="screen" />
		<!--[if IE]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://csswizardry.com/css/ie.css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->
	<!--[if IE6]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://csswizardry.com/css/ie6.css" media="screen" /><![endif]-->
</head>
<body id="home">

Now hopefully you can see how that's working. If it's ie use the ie.css stylesheet as well as style.css and if it's specifically ie6.css use that as well as ie.css and style.css.

You need to put conditional statements in your header. You are using the IF then statement basically, and so you will specify your css file initially, then use the statement to tell the browser to use a different css file if it is a different browser.

Yeah, what I said. Just less eloquent.
