How to Target IE7 or IE8 Using CSS Hacks

The best methods for doing target IE7 or IE8 using CSS hacks

If you’re developing websites or web apps in any technology-related niche (like web design), then IE6 visitors are probably even lower. For this website, IE6 visitors since January 1, 2011 account for about 0.5% of users, and in the last 30 days, that’s dropped to about 0.3%. You might have similar stats. For this reason, it’s more than likely that the only CSS hacks you’ll need are for IE7 and IE8. 

 

Firstly, if you follow some basic CSS coding principles, then you might very well need no hacks or workarounds for IE7 and IE8. For the design of this blog, I currently have zero IE-specific hacks — so it’s obviously possible to get by without hacks. Nonetheless, many beginners may need ways to target IE7 and/or IE8.
