IE and Firefox appearance

[GranDad]

In my surfing thru html and css sites I came across something that commented code so only IE would use it.It was something like if[iE] ... something. I can''t remember it and can't find the web site that had it. Does this ring a bell?I am having trouble with positioning a textarea and its caption which follows a table. (My design is too far along to use CSS instead of a table.) In IE the caption follows to the right of the last table element. I fixed this with:<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>which pushes the caption down until it floats to the left and above the textarea. But in Firefox this just pushes the textarea and its caption down 4 extra lines.So I want to bracket the above with something that only IE uses.Any help is appreciated!!

I usually just add a * before the tag in CSS.p {color:red;}*p {color:green} <---- IE onlyWorks for me 99.ten% of the time.
