CSS Hacks for Internet Explorer 7
Nanobox has posted a brief list of CSS hacks that can work to isolate Microsoft’s forthcoming Internet Explorer 7 web browser.
The author, David Hammond, applies a bit of flame retardant to his post by taking great pains to explain how conditional comments are really the best way to manage your IE-only CSS. I’ve found, however, that using CSS hacks in combination with conditional comments is a great way to both keep your main CSS files hack-free and to reduce the headaches of dealing with IE-specific stylesheets.
For example, a couple of sites I’ve worked on / am working on use CSS files both for IE7 only and for IE6 and under. Using David’s *+html hack, however, would allow me to target certain rules in an IE-only stylesheet just at IE7. Very handy, indeed.
