At 13:55: Hiding blocks of CSS from IE5.x 

To reliably hide blocks of CSS code from Internet Explorer 5.x (while having them render in virtually all other browsers) I've started to use this nasty little filter:

#rule1 { color : blue; }
i{_content:"\"/*"}
  #rule2 { color : green; }
*/ *{}
#rule3 { color : red; }

All browsers render all the rules, except in IE5.x which conveniently skips over #rule2.

This trick is a slight variant on the so-called Inline High-Pass Filter and I document it here for future reference.
