Writing css code to support IE6/IE7/IE8

Question

I'm using the following css code in my web page:

appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;        /* Firefox */
-webkit-appearance: none;    /* Safari and Chrome */

Does these codes support IE6 / IE7 / IE8? if not, then is there any alternate code that can work in IE6/IE7/IE8?

As you can see here the IE is not supporting appearance.

The appearance property is not supported in any of the major browsers. Firefox supports an alternative, the -moz-appearance property.
Safari and Chrome support an alternative, the -webkit-appearance property

@AjayKulkarni Maybe [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6088925/css3-appearance-property-for-ie) helps. But why you try to support so old browser versions? – Jens Aug 05 '15 at 05:59
I tried it, it doesn't work in IE7/IE8, I'm a linux guy, so I don't have much idea about IE. There are lot of users who still use windows XP and IE7, so I want support to be extended to such users – Ajay Kulkarni Aug 05 '15 at 06:03
The actual version of IE is Version 11. – Jens Aug 05 '15 at 06:05
What about users using windows XP? – Ajay Kulkarni Aug 05 '15 at 06:07
WindowsXP is not longer supported by Microsoft. – Jens Aug 05 '15 at 06:09
As you can see [here](https://redmondmag.com/articles/2015/04/08/windows-xp-usage.aspx) there are on 17% that uses windowXP. – Jens Aug 05 '15 at 06:10
Isn't 17% a big number? That would constitute at least `200 million` users. – Ajay Kulkarni Aug 05 '15 at 06:12
But how many will it be after the launch and free update of Win10? – Jens Aug 05 '15 at 06:15
After the launch and free update of Win10, that number might decrease to `100 milion` users which is still a big number – Ajay Kulkarni Aug 05 '15 at 06:50
