About Conditional Comments
One of the main problems facing web designers today is getting their site to render perfectly on a wide range of browsers, and getting your site to display correctly can often involve various CSS hacks, often resulting in messy and invalid code.
An alternative method of achieving this is accomplished through detecting which browser your visitor is using, and then letting them see a version of your site specifically for that browser.

This is where conditional comments come in.
