Here is my block of CSS:
.actual-form table {
padding: 5px 0 15px 15px;
margin: 0 0 30px 0;
display: block;
width: 100%;
background: #f9f9f9;

It really depends on the IE versions ... I found this excellent resource that is up to date from IE6-10:
CSS hack for Internet Explorer 6
It is called the Star HTML Hack and looks as follows:
- html .color {color: #F00;} This hack uses fully valid CSS.
CSS hack for Internet Explorer 7
It is called the Star Plus Hack.
*:first-child+html .color {color: #F00;} Or a shorter version:
*+html .color {color: #F00;} Like the star HTML hack, this uses valid CSS.
CSS hack for Internet Explorer 8
@media \0screen { .color {color: #F00;} } This hacks does not use valid CSS.
CSS hack for Internet Explorer 9
:root .color {color: #F00\9;} This hacks also does not use valid CSS.
Added 2013.02.04: Unfortunately IE10 understands this hack.
CSS hack for Internet Explorer 10
@media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) { .color {color: #F00;} } This hacks also does not use valid CSS.
For IE9+
@media screen and (min-width:0\0) and (min-resolution: +72dpi) {
// IE9+ CSS
.selector{
color: red;
}
}
IE Edge 12+
@supports (-ms-ime-align: auto) {
.selector {
color: red;
}
}
This one works on Edge and all IEs
:-ms-lang(x), .selector { color: red; }
A bit late on this one but this worked perfectly for me when trying to hide the background for IE6 & 7
.myclass{
background-image: url("images/myimg.png");
background-position: right top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 22px auto;
padding-left: 48px;
height: 42px;
_background-image: none;
*background-image: none;
}
I got this hack via: http://briancray.com/posts/target-ie6-and-ie7-with-only-1-extra-character-in-your-css/
#myelement
{
color: #999; /* shows in all browsers */
*color: #999; /* notice the * before the property - shows in IE7 and below */
_color: #999; /* notice the _ before the property - shows in IE6 and below */
}
I think for best practice you should write IE conditional statement inside the <head>
tag
that inside has a link to your special ie style sheet.
This HAS TO BE after your custom css link so it overrides the latter,
I have a small site so i use the same ie css for all pages.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index.css" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="all-ie-only.css" />
<![endif]-->
this differs from james answer as i think(personal opinion because i work with a designer team and i dont want them to touch my html files and mess up something there) you should never include styles in your html file.
As well as a conditional comment could also use CSS Browser Selector http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector/ as this will allow you to target specific browsers. You can then set your CSS as
.ie .actual-form table {
width: 100%
}
This will also allow you to target specific browsers within your main stylesheet without the need for conditional comments.
