[WSG] "Avoid non valid css hacks"

[Pierre-Henri Lavigne]

Ok at my work I joined last october they used to work with ie hacks such 
as _

In their specifications, they are releasing only valid html code and not 
css, and I am trying to release valid css stylesheets too, (Boum) I 
still used tantek hack for example with voice-family. And for various 
reasons, they don't like it. For maintaining they don't want to use ie 
conditional stylesheets for example and want everything in one stylesheet.

So everyone think about it, decided to upgrade it progressivly to try 
finding new stuffs.

First initiative came from a colleague who suggest for width and height 
properties :
width: 980px !important; /* standard loving browser */
width: 952px; /* IE5 */
width /**/ : /**/ 962px; /* IE6 */

What do you think about it ? Is it a method already used on the web ?

My other question is different and was about the selector >. I am using 
html>body #container for example.
On the source from webstandardsawards.com they are using body>#container.
I suppose it is ok 'cause IE 6 won't understand it, but was it tested in 
depth ?

Cheers,
