Chameleon IE8 not working

we are using Chameleon theme, it works in FF/safari/chorme/opera

but fails to load in IE8

environment:
Windows/tomcat/eclipse

description:
we are using our own style sheet
/themes/our_own/styles.css

@import “…/red-chameleon/styles.css”;

but IE fails to load the style sheet resulting in page being blank, but it works on all other test browser,

This is a known issue with IE. It won’t load imported stylesheets if they are nested more than three levels deep.

There’s a ticket about this issue in our trac, but no official schedule for the fix:
Concatenate Chameleon theme styles into one file

The workaround is to add the additional styles the red-chameleon.css file directly without imports, or to make a small utility script that concatenates your stylesheets together.
