I figured out that
(document.readyState == "complete");
can be safely used with JQuery present. It utilizes its domready flag.

@false yes, I actually don’t use css ready event, and usually write “document.ieReady = true” at the end of body.
And this post is old though, currently I don’t support for IE6.

Also, it would be good to give a piece of advice to jquery-using-people about how to avoid including global.domready.ie.css. Since it basically duplicates existing jquery functionality it doesn’t worth an extra HTTP request.

I’ve added
document.ieReady = true;
on top of the very 1st dom ready handler and it worked.

I realize that there might be a better way to do it though.

Nice and fast solution (4 times faster in my case), thanks.

However, it worth to be mentioned in the post that in order to make the solution actually work you want to add
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); display: block; }
to your IE-specific stylesheet.

Also it would be nice to have sorta demo page for this, example sites ain’t good reference, a lot of code reduction should be done to figure out what matters.

Thank you for your reply Martin Funcich.
I didn’t know that, and I think you are right. However, it is not necessary… you should connect this file by conditional comments directly for IE.
Nevertheless I will try to figure out how to write my code without that brackets.

If you can figure out a way to code your IE6 expressions without { } brackets, Safari will accept your CSS file once again.

It rejects the CSS when it sees nested { { } } brackets, which “shouldn’t happen in a real CSS file” so it seems
