You could use a hack, but for forward compatibility use the Microsoft 
recommended "Conditional Comment" syntax to feed a one line style sheet just 
to that browser.

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link href="/ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->

Or:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
selector { property: value }
</style>
<![endif]-->

You can do a lot with them:
