Scripting in a Template?

In the mock up I did, for some reason, the banner across the top had a little 1 px positioning problem between IE and Firefox. The way I fixed it was to created 2 different images, detect the browser, then select one of the two images to display depending on the browser. I know that isn’t the best solution, but I got tired trying to finesse it and went with my "sledge hammer" fix.
What I’m wondering is, can I do a bit of php in the template, or am I going to have to fix it right

The url for the mock up is http://www.tigerbasketball.org/dev/index.php

Use an IE conditional in the template’s head. It is ignored by all other browsers, and saves a tremendous amount of css hacking. http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html

Thanks for your response and wonderful help.

Is there an else option? I think I would build 2 small css files that position that one image differently and load the IE-css ELSE load the other. Am I thinking about this correctly? or can I load the regular css, then if the user is on IE, load the other which will overrule the first???

Thanks,
Alisa

The IE conditional in the document head will override the external CSS file. Load the image as a background image. That will give you the advantage of being able to use the space if you want to.

Do a snippet (what is php code) and call it in the template, but I would prefer to fix it right by fixing your layout..
