The reason is in ability of using CSS3 technology by the full, because the browsers like Opera, FireFox, Chrome and Safari already supports a lot of opportunities of this technology, they updates frequently, and we, web developers, very much want to use them on our web sites. Right? =)

We can create a two absolutely different CSS files: one – for IE and one for other browsers and then to give them to a corresponding browser using conditional comments.

How to

To do the subject, you need to follow the next 2 steps:

1. Connect a CSS file for all browsers except IE6:

   <!--[if IE]><![if !IE 6]><![endif]--><link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" /><!--[if IE]><![endif]><![endif]-->

   Or simplified version, that doing the same:

   <!--[if !IE 6]><!--><link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" /><!--<![endif]-->

2. And now connect a CSS file for only IE6:

   <!--[if IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" href="ie6.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" /><![endif]-->

By analogy you can make this for IE7 or IE8 or once for IE6, IE7 and IE8 (help on conditional comments).

Examples

• Transcending CSS – this site uses only Universal IE6 CSS for IE6.
• Dimox.name – my another blog about web development (on Russian). I’ve made a different design for IE6.
• Early I have seen other interesting examples, but can’t find them now…

My name is Dmitriy and my nickname is Dimox. I am a web developer from Russia, blogger and freelancer since 2006, I have Russian blog with an average popularity.

I earn money online providing web development services:

1. markup web sites from PSD to (X)HTML & CSS;
2. create templates (themes) for WordPress.

Also I make money with some other ways, like advertising banners, selling links, affiliate programs.

CSS, XHTML, jQuery

My first web site I was made in 2003. From that time I was carried away by web development, so I doing this including today.

Previously I have used only tables for markup. Since I became a freelancer in 2006 I began to use <div>s instead of <table>s.

In 2008 I became acquainted with jQuery. I very like this framework, therefore actively use it on my sites and write various useful scripts. I am one of the authors of online web 2.0 tool CSS Layout Generator. His interface works on jQuery.
