Oops!

I didn't realize the add-on would take days to approve on average so I posted a support thread for it before submitting it. (I don't know what I was thinking by not giving a description).

The add-on (which hasn't been approved yet) allows you to auto-load specific JavaScripts or Stylesheets for IE.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

If a moderator would remove the topic I would appreciate it.

How is it different from this existing addon? http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=493

I modified Kuroi's CSS one to include JavaScript files also.

I would have just released it as an update to his CSS one but I don't know if you're allowed to do that?

Thanks for your patience and I'm sorry for the confusion.

As long as it works and you're willing to support it, extending and improving existing code is what open source is all about.

The two contribs have been combined.

Ok, thanks for the explanation/help, Kuroi and DrByte.

I will be reading up on all the add-on creation information before making/extending any more add-ons.

Thanks!

I examined a version of this mod while helping someone, and noticed that it loads all IE-specific stylesheets before page/cat/etc-specific stylesheets.
This means that it is not possible to add IE-only styling that overrides page-specific styling.

I would like opinions on whether there would be any downside to moving the IE-only stylesheet loading to after the page-specific stylesheets.
It would be possible to do IE-only page-specific stylesheets, but that would add a large chunk of code to the file, about tripling the page-specific section, plus requiring filtering for all those potential files in the first IE-only section (another doubling or so).

An alternative to moving the IE stylesheet loading would be to put page-specific styling rules in the IE-only file(s). That would work fine in many cases, but would require knowledgeable action by every user.
