Ok at my work I joined last october they used to work with ie hacks such as _ In their specifications, they are releasing only valid html code and not css, and I am trying to release valid css stylesheets too, (Boum) I still used tantek hack for example with voice-family. And for various reasons, they don't like it. For maintaining they don't want to use ie conditional stylesheets for example and want everything in one stylesheet. So everyone think about it, decided to upgrade it progressivly to try finding new stuffs. First initiative came from a colleague who suggest for width and height properties : width: 980px !important; /* standard loving browser */ width: 952px; /* IE5 */ width /**/ : /**/ 962px; /* IE6 */ What do you think about it ? Is it a method already used on the web ?
Are you putting all the browsers in standards mode with a proper doctype (HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 1.0 Strict)? If you do, you will probably need less hacks, since the box model will at least be the same across browsers. As for that hack, I haven't seen that last line in use before.
My other question is different and was about the selector >. I am using html>body #container for example. On the source from webstandardsawards.com they are using body>#container. I suppose it is ok 'cause IE 6 won't understand it, but was it tested in depth ?
I find that the > selector is about all I have to use to cater to older browsers, including IE 5 Win/Mac and IE 6. html>body is the easiest thing since you never know if someone might wrap another div around #container. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net .. designtocss.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
