After screwing around for hours with IE6 in CMS Made Simple (which I’m really happy with, BTW, as a new user) I was pleased to find this extremely helpful tip this morning:

The Universal IE Hack

Another hot tip? Go on then.

Last year saw the launch of IE7. IE6 is still a widely used browser and IE8 beta is out of the starting blocks. A lot of IE hacks? Nope. Simply use the Universal IE Hack. Place the following code in the Head of your document:

PHP

<!--[if IE]> <style> html, body, * { display: none; } </style> <![endif]-->

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

<!--[if IE]> <style> html, body, * {   display: none; } </style> <![endif]-->

This supersedes all documented IE hacks to date. Enjoy.

Tell me that’s not useful.
