IE hacks in One Stylesheet

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew if it possible to use IE hacks in one stylesheet.
We have tried but they don't work. The below example does not work.

. menu li {
background-color:red;
}


I need to do something like this because we are building a Website Template builder that shares one page with a CSS stylesheet changing the entire look.

No, CSS doesn't understand the IE conditionals, they work just in the HTML.

Is there a way round this like:

<!important>

or any other inline hacks

You can put java script into CSS files using expressions

Like this makes browsers that don't normally support max-width do so with a bit of script

There are some that detest css expressions, but if it works best for a particular application, then so be it.

p
{
max-width:800px;
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth > 800? "800px": "auto" );
}
