I know you have a newer article on conditional statements, and you use them here. Though if you’re using conditional statements, why would you ever use a hack for IE? Not that its bad or good (well, actually, hacks are bad imho), but once you start using the conditional, its probably a better idea to stay consistent. Not to mention the CSS is much nicer to deal with (and easier to troubleshoot) when you create separate stylesheets for each conditional. Just a thought. Good article.

Could you use a conditional comment to make a css image invisible in Firefox. Added css image is invisible in IE but shows up in FF. Purpose of added css to make the page retain formatting when printing. Or would this be more suited to a hack?

Thanks for this. You have explained things in a very simple way that is easy to implement.

Thanks for the article; I will be using for reference, the only thing you didnt mention is the downside to conditional comments and that is that if you wish to stop supporting a particular browser you would have to take the code out of all the HTML pages.
