Conditional Comments

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 06.2007

Hello there. I have a website I am doing that has certain CSS parts that have to have special rules due to IE. Instead of including the condition comments in the header portion of each page, is there a way in the CSS file to make the special rules only for IE? Condition syntax in the CSS? Thanks.

@boycottIEDec 07.2007 — You can, however, use the conditional comments to link to a separate stylesheet specifically for IE. This will at least allow you to keep your HTML free of styling. For example:

[CODE]<!-- Following are workaround for IE rendering problems -->
<!--[if gte IE 7]>
<link href="css/ie7styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->


<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link href="css/ie6styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
[/CODE]

The original question was whether there was a way to avoid having to do that which has already been answered - No there isn't.
