   Easiest way to think of is have a browser test, if the browse is firefox, redirect to a page with the firefox friendly code and redirect IE else where. But you really cannot hide code on a page from a specific browser.

   IE has a method of hiding/enabling code based on browser version but can also be used to ignore code.

   <![if !IE]>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/not-ie.css" />
   <![endif]>

   Internet Explorer will ignore this while all other browsers will ignore the if tags (since they’re just comment tags intepretted by IE) and will link the stylesheet. This way you can use ‘display: none;’ on anything you want IE to hide and then ‘display: block;’ them back in in the non-IE style.

   Purple Moogle is right, but he/she has written the wrong codes down.

   Instead of:
   <![if !IE]>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/not-ie.css" />
   <![endif]>

   It should be:
   <!–![if !IE]>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/not-ie.css" />
   <![endif]–>
