Subject: [css-d] Please Explain CSS Parser Hacks
I'm reading Eric Meyer's article on Tricking Browsers and Hiding
Styles. I
understand what he's saying and that the extra characters in the
rules get
parsed in different ways.
But for me to really understand what's happening, though, I sure
could use
an explanation of exactly what is making various parsers see various
results.
He says this code:
div#test {
color: red;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family:inherit;
color: green;
}
If you are new to this, take this opportunity to reconsider using
parser hacks. There are more logical methods available that do not
rely on software bugs as Gunlaug so eloquently stated. If you are
interested, respond offlist as this topic usually gets snuffed on this
mailing list pretty quickly :-)
