Internet Explorer Conditional Comments

[Yankidank]

I just learned a neat trick today while designing a Pligg template. I've always know about IE conditional comments and how you can display content specific to the version of IE that a person is using, but today I found out about the <comment> tag. You can wrap content inside of a <comment> tag and whatever is inside of that will not be shown by browsers that are NOT Internet Explorer. I'm glad I learned about this because now I can simplify some of my designs for IE and keep the more advanced stuff for more modern browsers. Right now I'm using this trick to change the visual style of the Pligg sorting feature for a new template I'm designing.

Good tip
Another is the IE7 and IE8 js available from google code.
IE7 is a JavaScript library to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser. It fixes many HTML and CSS issues and makes transparent PNG work correctly under IE5 and IE6.
