Hi, I am attempting to use conditional CSS in my stylesheet to set a different width for IE6. I have tried the following code but it is not working:
div.box {
width: 400px;
[if IE 6] width: 600px;
padding: 0 100px;
}
How can I successfully set a different width for my div in IE6?
I also attempted the following code in my stylesheet:
[if IE]
div.box {
width: 600px;
padding: 0 100px;
}
[endif]
Conditional comments are designed to be used within HTML documents, not in CSS files. Internet Explorer's HTML parser will understand the rule inside the comment, but its CSS parser does not have a similar functionality.
You can make the following code function properly:
<!--[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
div.box {
width: 600px;
padding: 0 100px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
In most situations, it is more effective to utilize conditional comments to link an external stylesheet instead of encompassing a block of inline styles within them, like this:
<!--[if IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/IEpatches.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8"/>
<![endif]-->
This has been edited to specifically address the request for targeting only IE6 as mentioned in the initial question.
To effectively handle conditionals for ie6, it is recommended to insert a conditional include in the head of the html page as shown below:
<!--[if IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="[insert path to ie6.css here]" type="text/css">
<![endif]-->
Subsequently, adjust new widths as needed by making exceptions within the ie6.css style sheet.
Have you given it a shot?
<!--[if IE]>
// Customize your CSS here
<![endif]-->
It appears that the formatting in your conditional statement needs some adjustment.
Are you familiar with the Dynamic-HTML guide? Have you ever considered using the Dynamic-HTML compiler for your CSS files? It's crucial to utilize the compiler in order for Dynamic-HTML to work its magic on your stylesheets before sending them to the browser.
By now, you may have discovered that conditional comments are processed in the HTML output, rather than within the CSS file itself, unless you opt for third-party software.
Another technique for targeting IE in your CSS files without resorting to hacks involves:
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]> <html class="ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]> <html class="ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html> <!--<![endif]-->
This method has gained popularity for targeting IE, possibly popularized by HTML5 Boilerplate. It involves using conditional comments to add a class to the <html> tag (or body tag if preferred) to allow specific styling in your CSS like this:
.ie6 #header {
/* styles for IE6 only here */
}
I find this approach more manageable than utilizing separate stylesheets, although it does result in other browsers reading (but not implementing) the IE-specific styles.
