A friend of mine recently sent me this article in defense of using inline hacks instead of conditional statements for IE-specific styles. Â I disagree with a lot of things in that article (see user Alex’s comments for a good summary of my thoughts), but I mostly use conditional statements for two reasons: 1) It makes code easier to maintain; and 2) I want to punish IE users. Â If I have to use extra HTTP requests to exact said punishment, so be it.
