IE CSS hacks - IE6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
/* IE6 Only */
_selector {...}
/* IE6 & IE7 */
*html or { _property: }
/* IE7 Only */
*+html or { *property: } /* Keep in mind that you have to put the IE7 property first within the same selector. */
/* IE8 */
.selector/*\**/ { color:#f00; }
/* **NOTE**: LESS v1.5.0 shoots out an error when compiling the CSS if you use this hack :/
/* IE8 and IE9 (TOTALLY NOT NEEDED - I LEFT HERE FOR REFERENCE ONLY) - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/660652/ie8-css-selector */
.selector { color:#f00\9; }
/* The above solution doesn't work with font-family, so instead you need to use "\0/ !important" http://dimox.net/personal-css-hacks-for-ie6-ie7-ie8/
Example: */
{ font-family:Arial \0/ !important; }
/* Also, using "\9" is picked up by IE10 and IE11 so you need to redeclare the CSS rules with "-ms-high-contrast:". See info below. */
/* IE9 Only */
:root .class/#id { property:value \0/IE9; }
/* **NOTE**: Prepos v4.0.1 shoots out an error when compiling the CSS if you use this hack :/
http://blog.vervestudios.co/blog/post/2011/05/13/IE9-Only-CSS-Hack.aspx */
/* IE10 Only
Method 1: UA Sniffing, which isn't the most loved method to target browsers, but here it is anyway.

Place this script in the <head>: */
<script>
var doc = document.documentElement;
doc.setAttribute('data-useragent', navigator.userAgent);
</script>
/* Usage: */
html[data-useragent*='MSIE 10.0'] .selector {...}
/* Method 2: It used 'Conditional compilation' which is not UA sniffing. Also, it excludes IE11 as well.

document.documentElement.className+=' ie10';
}
</script>

/* Note: Seems the Conditional Comment is not necessary, but I like to include it for good measure.
Usage: */
