whats better ??

maintaining 2 or 3 style sheets with conditional comments or using a single sheet with one or two teeny-weeny hacks ??

... and why ??

any thoughts .. ?

3, because bigger is better

keep em seperate, then when you decide not to support any particular browser anymore, you can just get rid of one conditional comment et viola. Your main stylesheet for any browser that works properly is left untouched.

I can see why you may not decide to support a browser when you start the project, but removing support that you have already implemented seems a little stupid

it's so much easier to debugger using a conditional stylesheet. and you don't run the risk of screwing the css on the non-ie browsers with your ie tweaks.

Apart from that, I've had very few hacks that actually work!

I think I will start using conditional comments, but usually I only have to use 2 or 3 little hacks so it wouldnt be any more work putting it in a separate stylesheet. But apparently there are issues when testing it? I run IE6 and IE7 Standalone, but I take it IE7 still reports itself as IE6 because there are no registry entries or something?

the only hack I've ever needed is the one to set a min-height in IE, seemed a bit stupid to make a whole new stylesheet for it

Generally those are the ones I use too, if you were meaning this?

#content {
min-height: 400px;
}
* html #content {
height: 400px;
}

that's the monkey
