Re: [WSG] old underscore hack question

[Manny Blum]

If you don't want to use conditionals, then try this:

#shell {
        background: url(../images/iebg.gif);
        margin:0 auto;
        background-repeat:repeat-y;
}

html>body #shell {
        background: url(../images/bgshad.png);
}

IE can' read the second block of code cause it gets confused by  
html>body, all other browsers have no problems with it.

Hope this helps. I've never heard of the underscore hack.

hi,
i want to use the underscore hack instead of conditional comments  
because it will be easier to keep track of image paths.
Its only an ie6 because transparency workaround.
In my understanding the below code should only serve the gif to ie  
6, not later versions?
but IE net renderer is rendering the gif in all ie versions.
Its not really like that in a real "life" right?

#shell{ background:url(../images/bgshad.png);
_background: url(../images/iebg.gif);
margin:0 auto;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}

thanks in advance
