IE CSS Hacks
Internet Explorer...
- It doesn't matter if it's IE 6, IE 7 or IE 8, they all suck.
- Even though IE 8 has made some progress concerning CSS issue, IE 7 and obviously IE 6 are the worst browsers.
With CSS compatibility issues from here to Bill's office it takes too much work to make one CSS file fit all. That's why I thought of a small hack that I make in every HTML / XSLT / ASPX document I'm working with.
At the body tag of each page, I insert a small HTML if:
<!--[if IE 6]>
<body class="ie6">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>
<body class="ie7">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>
<body class="ie8">
<![endif]-->
After placing that, you can easily create inside your general CSS file an inherited styling such as:
body
{ margin: 0 0 0 0; }
body.ie6
{ margin: 0 5px 0 0; }
body.ie7
{ margin: 0 0 5px 0; }
body.ie8
{ margin: 0 0 0 5px; }
This is the easiest way for me to work with IE 6 and IE 7 (and sometimes IE 8). There is another way to make style compatible with IE browsers which involves creating a different CSS file for every IE:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="general.css" />
<!--[if IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="generalIE6.css" />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="generalIE7.css" />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="generalIE8.css" />
<![endif]-->
Good luck, and hopefully we won’t need any CSS hacks for Internet Explorer 9.
