Is this not valid CSS?
* html div { background: green; }
The element tree for standard compliant browsers is.
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>...</body>
</html>
The element tree for IE6 and IE7 is.
<hidden-container>
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>...</body>
</html>
</hidden-container>
Thus why this selector works.
* html div { background: green; } /* IE6- */
and with the inclusion of a <!DOCTYPE> in the HTML, this selector works.
*+html div { background: green; } /* IE7 */
These hacks are not a bug in IE7 or earlier but are targeting a hidden
container in the element tree.
