    I have seen the following html code on some websites.

    As I am new to web design I am not sure what it is

    	<!--[if lte IE 6]><style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url(css/IE6.css);</style><![endif]-->	
	<!--[if gte IE 7]><style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url(css/IE7.css);</style><![endif]-->
    Code (markup):

    It means that if the user is running internet explorer 6 or 7, some extra CSS files will be loaded..

    This is beacuse different browser handles xhtml/css/html different ways :/

    Yeah! It’s an error trapping technique for the new version of internet explorer 7

    Its been around for ages. They have a proper name, but I know them as IE CSS Hacks

    As IE and FF, for exmaple, render pages differently (as with the padding and margins etc) IE Hacks are sometimes used to get around these
