Here’s a quite useful collection of CSS hacks: http://centricle.com/ref/css/filters/

Sometimes as a web developer you are forced to use this weird stuff – use it with care, and only use it if it’s really necessary ;)

  1. Nice list, thx.
    In wokraday life I rarly use CSS hacks. I prefer it to proivde an additional stylesheet to correct some of the browser specific problems. This way you have a clean base stylesheet, which is not messed up width a lot of browser specific css hacks.

  2. Conditional stylesheets is another possibility, right. This way you can avoid some of those hacks, but the drawback is that the maintainability of your code decreases when using multiple stylesheets to override those properties in specific browsers. You change something in you base stylesheet, and at the same time you have to look in all your other hack-sheets if those properties have to be altered too. When dealing with large stylesheets, this can be really annoying and time-consuming.

    Anyway, it’s up to each developer’s own to find the right way between maintainability and clean code :)
