Apply IE-specific class to body tag instead of using conditional stylesheets

 / Published in: HTML
 

URL: http://paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/

Instead of feeding IE separate stylesheets, use conditional comments to apply an IE-specific class to the body tag. This means all your IE-only classes can go in your main stylesheet, e.g. .ie6 .myelement { margin:5px; }\r\n\r\nThis was taken from the HTML5 Boilerplate.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. <!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <body class="ie6"> <![endif]-->
  2. <!--[if IE 7 ]> <body class="ie7"> <![endif]-->
  3. <!--[if IE 8 ]> <body class="ie8"> <![endif]-->
  4. <!--[if IE 9 ]> <body class="ie9"> <![endif]-->
  5. <!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <body> <!--<![endif]-->D
