Regarding CSS targeted to IE via conditional comments what is the
current consensus or is there one?
I would guess it's best to use the conditional just to link to an
external, IE-only stylesheet rather that including the IE styles in
the conditional comment itself for the same reason we do that with
better browsers. Is this proper thinking?
Also - am I better served to round up any and all "* html" rules in my
CSS and throw them all in a separate IE-only stylesheet w/out the
hack, then call it in via the conditional comments? What advantages
are there to this method other than the main stylesheet being cleaner?
Any downsides?
Just trying to get all my ducks in a row, make things nice an tidy,
before soon rolling out new templates to other departmental web folks.
Lastly, can someone point me to a resource that will help me tear
apart and understand this type of construct:
#wrapper {width: 780px /* fallback value */;
width:expression(((document.compatMode &&
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
document.documentElement.clientWidth :
document.body.clientWidth)
> 1260 ? "1200px" : (((document.compatMode &&
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
document.documentElement.clientWidth :
document.body.clientWidth) < 820 ? "780px" : "95%"));
I understand parts of it but things like "document.compatMode &&
document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat'", etc. are not clicking that well
yet. :-) I'd like to eventually understand these types of things
enough to be able to write my own and not always have to copy and
paste something someone has sent me.
Thanks for all the great tips on here!
