How can I make a specific css stylesheet for internet explorer 8 ?
I mean, how can I load it only if the browser is IE8 ? (And not IE7 and IE6)
thanks

A:
You can use the following:
<!--[if IE 8]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie8.css" media="screen" />
<![endif]-->

+1 for bothering to at least give the OP a link to more information (although just linking, rather than just a bit of text, isn't great form).

@Patrick: If you really want **just** IE8, the above is fine. If you want IE8 *and later* (e.g., because you're using something new that will be continued in IE9, which isn't that far away), use `if gte IE 8` instead -- the difference is the `gte`, which is (of course) "greater than or equal".

It's a safer way to deploy fixes for IE8's own rendering issues. While not as much of a headache as IE6, IE8 still has quirks that need to be corrected without having those corrections affect other browsers.

@Mike Sherov: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.browser/ and even without that, there'd be http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.support/ and even without that there'd be straight JavaScript detection and even without that you could do it with valid CSS and HTML only.
