I rely heavily on Conditional Comments. IMO, the easiest way to deal with browser bugs is to feed them not with specific rules, but with specific styles sheets. This is how I build/split my sheets: - I use @import and design for Firefox - I use MS Conditional Comments to include fixes for the different IE/Win versions (above v4). - I use @import "cssFile.css" to take care of IE5 Mac. - If I decide to support NN4, then I use JS to write a link to a styles sheet (CSS doesn't work without JS in NN4) For me the main advantage of these branching techniques is that I do not take the risk of breaking one browser while trying to fix another. Also, because it eliminates the need for CSS hacks, my sheets are free of cryptic rules.
