since IE 7 is ~almost~ on his way (we'll see when) and many of us spend a lot of time battling with css hacks (for IE, safari or FF...) I thought it could be usefull to post what I use for css: conditional comments.
This is nothing new, nor a hack or an enhancement but a nice way (my way)
to avoid looooooooong css with hacks everywhere that I cannot find afterwards... 
//Description
IE css conditional comment, usefull for css when IE/FF/Opera/Safari have different behaviours,
when IE7 comes out should (?) be solved, anyway usefull so your css hasn't too many hacks and is easier to read.
//What
-> 2 files needed:
1) header.php (or .inc) | put in /content/php/header.php (or wherever u want but adjust the RT {PHP: } )
2) ie.css | put in /phpwcms_template/inc_css/ie.css
//How to use in phpwcms?
-> put in phpwcms backend template this (for calling IE) in header:
{PHP:content/php/header.php}
//What does header.php look like?
Simple, this:
Code: Select all
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">@import "phpwcms_template/inc_css/ie.css";</style>
<![endif]-->Now you put in your ie.css file your behaviours specifically related to IE
You can also modify header.php if u want to specify css for IE MAC for instance, look at links below on howto.
This is what MS says about it:

Hope it can be usefull to you all.
Cheers
PD: you don't ab-so-lu-te-ly need to use the RT, actually you can just put in backend template header the piece of code, but I like to have a "clean header" in my template and I don' t like too much blabla in my header, I prefer to call a little file outside
