Thanks for your reply.
1) I don't see anything wrong with the code which I have listed below
2) I want to change your conditional statement to [if lte IE 7] and also [if !(IE

] (reads IE eight) but being new to Joomla and components, I can't find your code in which to try these new conditional statements. Where would I find your code to try this change?
Thanks
