Hi Nick,

What version of IE are you using and what Revision of xot (you can find that at /version.txt)?

I tested the player in IE6-10 recently and didn't identify any problems with the new header code, but this was only added recently so you may not have it yet, if you get the XOT v2 update package on the Community Website then it is in...

For information,  IE conditionals should only be adding some classes to those IE versions that may require CSS patching, but I've only added them up until IE9 I think. IE10 has always been rendering the LOs fine as far as I'm aware.

To force IE10 standards mode, the correct DOCTYPE tag is as you specified, <!DOCTYPE html>  (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/hh779632.aspx)

Think I've spotted what's causing my IE bug... [If IE] statements are missing from <!DOCTYPE html>

Any idea why?

Thanks
