Quick Tip: How to Target IE6, IE7, and IE8 Uniquely with 4 Characters | Nettuts

Quick Tip: How to Target IE6, IE7, and IE8 Uniquely with 4 Characters | Nettuts:

This is a very simple hack to target specific CSS quirks of individual versions of IE. Pity this crap is still being thought about but I thought this one had a simple elegance if used sparingly. I have seen this technique used around and about in CSS but I ddin't understand what it was for until now.

div {

color: red; /* all browsers */

color : green\9; /* IE8 and below */

*color : yellow; /* IE7 and below */

_color : blue; /* IE6 and below */

}

note: _property and -property both work for targeting IE6 and below.
