How about use some JavaScript that adds a class to your <body> element dependent on the browser and browser version?
I think this plugin does that http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/mobble/
it’s an interesting plug-in, but for now i would like to understand how to use <!–[if IE 9 ]> for example. I looked for this issue in WP forums but found only parts of info.
I really could use a tutorial about this issue.
Thnks
Different developers approach the matter differently, and I am not aware of anyone having a specific tutorial like each of us would greatly appreciate. So, Google is about the best source you will find for IE tips and tricks.
If you have a Child Theme and a plenty of determination, patience and a bit of ingenuity, try the IE CSS3 Support plugin and take a look at what it puts in its custom-style.css file when IE is used. You can delete that file as often as you wish, then analyze and make use of some of what it produces.
Also take a look here…

I have some great news if you are still looking for a solution here! There is a way to make a function call for a custom IE style sheet, then PIE.htc will handle things well from there. I still have a little more work to do myself, but my Twenty Twelve Child Theme is now responsive even in IE:

Check it out, if you wish, and I will report back after I have finished.
Hi leejosepho! your news sound very interesting, though i don’t really know what PIE.htc is. I tried using conditional remarks for this but it gets overrides by the default style-sheet. What can be the reason for that? here is a copy of my header.php where i put the remarks :
Do i need to add something in the beginning of the IE style sheets?
Thanks!

Neither do I, really, but it somehow makes IE work properly…and my IE issues are now almost completely resolved.

I do not know, but I have read some things about IE not always working as expected with those conditionals. But if you can figure out a way to have your theme shift to a custom ie.css file whenever IE is encountered, I can tell you how I have implemented PIE.htc in conjunction with that kind of file.
Edit: Maybe this will help…
