Conditional Stylesheets

Internet Explorer implements a proprietary technology called Conditional Comments. While web developers frown upon technologies that aren't cross-browser supported, many CSS developers have found Conditional Comments very useful. They can have cleaner CSS in their normal stylesheets and can fix the broken rendering in IE by placing IE-only CSS inside conditional comments; this technique is even recommended by Microsoft.

Without this module, the only way to have IE conditional stylesheets was to add 35 lines of code (more if you want to add more than one stylesheet) in four horribly-difficult-to-remember function calls to your theme's template.php. Blech. Who wants that?

This module allows themes to easily add conditional stylesheets to the theme's .info file.

Placing the above lines in your theme's .info file will automatically append the following HTML code after your existing stylesheets in the of your website:

More information about Conditional Comments is available on Microsoft’s website.
