Is there a way that I can create an IE only element in CSS?

I need for the margin to be different in IE compared with other browsers. How can I do this within the actual stylesheet?

According to this (As @GOD said, found it with Google in 220ms. Google is your friend.)

Target ALL VERSIONS of IE

<!--[if IE]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="all-ie-only.css" />
<![endif]-->

Target everything EXCEPT IE

<!--[if !IE]><!-->
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="not-ie.css" />
 <!--<![endif]-->

Target IE 7 ONLY

<!--[if IE 7]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie7.css">
<![endif]-->

Target IE 6 ONLY

<!--[if IE 6]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6.css" />
<![endif]-->

Target IE 5 ONLY

<!--[if IE 5]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie5.css" />
<![endif]-->

Target IE 5.5 ONLY

<!--[if IE 5.5000]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie55.css" />
<![endif]-->

Target IE 6 and LOWER

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6-and-down.css" />
<![endif]-->

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6-and-down.css" />
<![endif]-->

Target IE 7 and LOWER

<!--[if lt IE 8]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie7-and-down.css" />

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie7-and-down.css" />
<![endif]-->

Target IE 8 and LOWER

<!--[if lt IE 9]>

<![endif]-->

<!--[if lte IE 8]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie8-and-down.css" />
<![endif]-->

Target IE 6 and HIGHER

<!--[if gt IE 5.5]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6-and-up.css" />
<![endif]-->

<!--[if gte IE 6]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie6-and-up.css" />

Along with what @Adrien Lacroix said, this is what you need

.element{
    background: gray; /* standard */

    background: pink\9; /* IE 8 and below */

    *background: green; /* IE 7 and below */

    _background: blue; /* IE 6 */
}

There is also these if you need them

IE6 ONLY

* html #div { 
    height: 300px;
}

IE-7 ONLY

*+html #div { 
    height: 300px;
}

IE-8 ONLY

#div {
  height: 300px\0/;
}

IE-7 & IE-8

#div {
  height: 300px\9;
}

NON IE-7 ONLY:

#div {
   _height: 300px;
}

Hide from IE 6 and LOWER:

#div {
   height/**/: 300px;
}

OR

html > body #div {
      height: 300px;
}

There are at least two ways to do it.

  • IE-only stylesheet

    <!--[if IE]> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ie.css" type="text/css"/> <![endif]-->

  • Javascript - check User Agent and apply necessary styles if IE found - best would be jQuery. Alternatively, you can try this.
