One question - “” means, “If the browser is Later Than or Equal to IE 7

By this logic, the stylesheet contained within those comments would only be loaded by IE7 or above. I understand how the CSS selectors work, but how does IE6 get to the stylesheet in the first place?

Should it be

I’m pretty sure that’s lower than not later than.

It stripped my code, haha

One question - ” if lte ie7 ”

Should it be ” if lte ie6 ”

ah, it would appear that you’re completely right - lte is lower than, gte is greater than - you learn something new every day :)

Heh yeah, I hadn’t noticed gte before so that could come in handy!

On an unrelated note, I wish I could find out why my details are no remembered for comment on my own blog. Every time I have to fill out the above info!

Is this the same for you and others on here?

Hello, can you please post some more information on this topic? I would like to read more.

Good advice, but if you’re good, you won’t need ie-specific style sheets.

So maybe, instead of thinking what to do, to ease the integration of the style sheets, you should spend time thinking why exactly you need them.

I’m not so sure about that, I have plenty of experience with IE yet there are still bugs in the browser you can’t avoid. For example if I float an element and give it a left/right margin IE6 will double that margin. Should I change the design just because IE is rendering it wrong? I don’t think so.

So long as it’s done well as you say you’ll get fewer issues, but if there are problems with IE then a conditional comment is the ideal solution rather than changing the design.

Design/Code for the web not for the browser ;)
