Universal IE 6 CSS

Dealing with IE 6 and below is always an extra-special challenge. These days people are dropping support for it right and left, including major businesses, major web apps, and even governments. There is a better solution than just letting the site go to hell, and that is to server IE 6 and below a special stripped-down stylesheet, and then serve IE 7 and above (and all other browsers) the regular CSS. This is been coined the universal IE 6 CSS.

<!--[if !IE 6]><!-->

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="REGULAR-STYLESHEET.css" />

<!--<![endif]-->

<!--[if gte IE 7]>

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="REGULAR-STYLESHEET.css" />

<![endif]-->

<!--[if lte IE 6]>

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="http://universal-ie6-css.googlecode.com/files/ie6.0.3.css" />

Hacks

If you must…

IE-7 ONLY

* html #div {

    height: 300px;

}

NON IE-7 ONLY:

#div {

   _height: 300px;

}

Hide from IE 6 and LOWER:

#div {

   height/**/: 300px;

}

html > body #div {

      height: 300px;

}
