Question

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;
  border-top: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
}

I only want IE 7, 8, and 9 to “see” width: 100%

What is the simplest way to accomplish this?

Update 2017

Depending on the environment, conditional comments have been officially deprecated and removed in IE10+.

The simplest way is probably to use an Internet Explorer conditional comment in your HTML:

<!--[if IE]>
<style>
    .actual-form table {
         width: 100%;
    }
</style>
<![endif]-->

There are numerous hacks (e.g. the underscore hack) you can use that will allow you to target only IE within your stylesheet, but it gets very messy if you want to target all versions of IE on all platforms.
