There are different schools of thought. I prefer to keep my main
stylesheet valid (apart from vendor prefixes on CSS3 properties) and
unpolluted by IE hacks. I find it helps to focus on real CSS and then
I can go through later in the process and feed IE it's ridiculous
counter-intuitive hacks in an isolated and heavily commented separate
file. That way I don't need to worry about using invalid stuff like
zoom: 1 for IE.
Others prefer to keep things in the main stylesheet. The advantage of
this is that is reduces HTTP requests (better performance) and keeps
the CSS rules for an element in the same location. One compromise is
to use conditional comments to add a class name to <body> and then use:
#my-element {
...
}
.ie #my-element {
...
}
.ie7 #my-element {
...
}
.ie6 #my-element {
...
}
cheers, Tim
