Is it possible to make Internet Explorer skip or avoid reading a line in the CSS stylesheet?
I’m mostly concerned with IE8, but interested in solutions for any version.

To prevent IE8 (and older) from reading the styles, simply use something in your selector that it doesn’t support and that all other browsers support.
For example, add
:rootto your selector. Here’s an example: http://jsfiddle.net/mathias/kX6tR/:rootis supported in IE9 and all other browsers, therefore this is a safe CSS hack.
