I use a very simple rule that will allow for CSS validation...
Its the " * html " selector
IE thinks there's an extra element outside the HTML element...as we
know there isn't. what this means is we can exploit it for our IE
hack. Have a look at the example:
#wrapper { /* all browsers other than IE */
width: 300px;
padding: 0 5px;
}
* html #wrapper { /* ignored by everthing but IE */
width: 310px;
}
I find this the easiest and most simple to keep track of.
