Use IE's conditional comments (http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html).

It is not about javascript but CSS. Give your element a class, and create separate external CSS files, one for IE, one for the others. Use the conditional comments. The CSS file for IE should be loaded after the other one.

<head>

<link href="css/standard.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

</head>
