I still prefer conditional comments, I think it’s easier: one tag for your seperate CSS in two comment ‘tags’.

If you use this CSS, you don’t always know what the result will be (with different browsers) and you can also make mistakes with typing CSS hacks. And often I also forget what the purpose of the code was, but you can always add comments in your CSS.

@jbj
That first one sounds good Thanks, maybe I should include it in my article.
But I don’t see the benefits of the second one, because it won’t validate.
Thanks for your comment!

Another good way to hide anything to IE6 is to use the !important directive:

width: 200px !important; /*Visible by any browsers, IE6 exepted*/
width: 150px; /*Visible by IE6, other browsers will not apply due to the !important directive.*/

The following hacks may be useful, althout, yur css will not validate.

_width:200px; /*Only IE6 sees it*/
.width: 300px; /*Only IE7 sees it (notice the dot before the property name! */
