With this, I'm able to not only target browser level rules, but I can also target different OS's, various browser versions, browser engines or a combination of all three! This makes all our CSS valid, clean and highly readable. So, for these examples above, we would simply write the CSS rule for the browser we wanted to target: <code>.color {color: #777;} /* for all browsers */ .ie6 .color {color: #C39;} /* for IE6 */ .ie7 .color {color: #66F;} /* for IE7 */ .ie8 .color {color: #0FC;} /* for IE8 */ </code> Since our team mainly focuses on web applications, cross browser compatibility is key and we have successfully used this within our Zend based projects as well as others.. hopefully this will just add to the pool of knowledge you've got going here.. and thanks for the great posts! I'm very happy to have come across your blog ;) BTW, one lead programmer is from Russia :D Hope this helps! :D Jesse M Revive As a UI Developer I’m constantly faced with dealing with multiple browsers and all their lovely rendering quirks.. and, I absolutely hate CSS hacks, especially ones that invalidate the killer code I’ve written :) So, this is what I use:

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:16:29 +0000 http://dimox.net/?p=12#comment-362 I came to this page via Thomas Fuchs's blog and I am still slightly aghast that, when we have a 100% certain way of handling IE 'speshulness' using conditional comments, people still advocate hacks which can have unforeseen consequences now and in the future. All to save a bit of space in the html? Seems fack to brunt to me.

Conditional comments are good in a sense to overcome the non-standard problems of IE versions, but there are hidden issues not known to the UI/Web designer when we develop pages with JSF. JSF has got configuration settings in WEB XML file to SKIP comments, so the CONDITIONAL comments never works...! :( Hi All..
