I have always been intrigued by the fact that default CSS does not always work across all browsers, often resulting in breaks specifically for IE browsers (6, 7, 8, 9). As a result, we typically find ourselves creating multiple CSS files tailored for different browsers, particularly IE. But why is this the case?
Not all web browsers fully support the extensive features of CSS. In certain instances, adjustments may need to be made specifically for Internet Explorer due to the notorious "css box model" issue. Additionally, backward compatibility with older browser versions might be necessary.
Personally, I prefer to avoid creating CSS specifically for certain browsers and instead opt for solutions that are universally compatible. The challenges of achieving cross-browser consistency often stem from:
CSS can be quite intimidating as a technology due to the fact that it lacks an official implementation and only has official specifications. Without a standard interpreter, developers must rely on documentation to guide them in interpreting the language, leading to many different interpreters with their own unique quirks and glitches.

And then there's IE

Microsoft has always had a strong stance on doing things their way when it comes to web technologies. They often implement features not yet supported by WC3 CSS standards, such as an early version of the opacity command. Sometimes their motives may lean towards forcing compliance with their proprietary standards in order to gain niche appeal for their browser.
Regardless, if you're heading into web development, dealing with IE will likely become a major challenge. If you think CSS poses difficulties, just wait until you start working with JS.
When working with CSS features that are not universally supported across all browsers, it becomes necessary to have fallback options in place.
For example, let's say you want to use position:fixed; in your CSS for a specific design element. However, since position:fixed; is not supported in IE6, you would need to create an alternative CSS file to ensure proper display on that browser.
