Thanks a ton! I found this post and I believe it explains why my Google AJAX Implementation of a video bar isn’t working in IE7 and works in everything else! Implementing your workaround right now…

Its annoying (to put it mildly) and I wasted several days tracing why script that had previously worked but didn’t with a slightly changed design. Yes the problem was ie7 and @import with media select

I then realised that media select wasn’t needed as the calling script was already media selected via its html link. Had it not been then I could have media selected within the import file.

I’ve hated ie since I 1st tried css back in my ns4 days — maybe ie8 will change my mind — and watch out for flying pigs.

@ Dave: No, it does support @import; just not with media types.

I’m I wrong, or does IE7 not support the @import rule at all??

[…] chance to run a few more tests to find out what’s new (and what’s not) in IE8. Good: @import media types seem to be implemented; Bad: XHTML still isn’t parsed, so everyone who thinks they are coding […]

indeed, they should have implemented this long time ago. :(

Thanks for the writeup on this, it had been confusing me for a while why my @import statements weren’t working in IE7… I never even thought this would be a feature they have yet to implement. It’s really a shame.
