How do I write CSS which I only want to be read by IE?
I have tried the following:

* br {line-height: 35px;}

but Firefox is reading it and responding when I though the * meant only IE should read it...

Why do you want that anyways?

There's no space
*br {line-height: 35px;}

Whoops! Thought I'd tried that...
Thanks Brendan.

Covert215: Why do I need it? Because I can't get IE and FF to treat <br /> the same. In FF it is always larger vertically, even when I have set margin and padding to 0 and set a fixed line-height. I've found I can get around it by using the default styles for FF then adjusting the IE CSS separately.

oh...didn't know that

The "*" by itself is a universal selector.

* br is like saying "br is the child of *"

Just like:
.hello table {font-color: red;}
Would mean all the <table> tags within whatever element has the class of "hello" will be red.

I know brendan already gave you the answer of having no space *br, but since he didn't explain WHY that is, I thought I would
