Feel free to ping me off list if you have any specific scenarios that you
feel you need IE specific CSS for. I'll be happy to try and give you
cross-browser equivalents.
Could you share the reliable ie8 hacks that will do no harm to IE9 in the list?
In very rare occasions I do need to target IE8 mostly just one or two element
(the trigger has always been a combination of relative and absolute positing
and floated elements), it really disturbs me to have to creating extra
stylesheet for ie8, sometimes I can get away with it with zoom:1 but there are
times different values for width, paddings and margins are needed.
I found this but never feel comfortable using it.
.test { color /*\**/: blue\9 }

[WSG] html5 issue
In an attempt to begin using HTML5, I am getting this error: Line 12, Column 21: A charset attribute on a meta element found after the first 512 bytes. meta charset=UTF-8/ Can anyone tell me why? -- Tom Livingston | Senior Interactive Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] html5 issue
/ is not necessary to close the meta tag. meta charset=utf-8 Maybe this solve the problem.

Can anyone tell me why? You have too much content before the meta tag. That was it. I was using Paul Irish's trick with conditional comments to feed IE's CSS w/o conditionals with this: !--[if lt IE 7 ] html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; id=ie6 ![endif]-- !--[if IE 7 ]html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; id=ie7 ![endif]-- !--[if IE 8 ]html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; id=ie8 ![endif]-- !--[if IE 9 ]html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; id=ie9 ![endif]-- !--[if gt IE 9] html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; ![endif]-- !--[if !IE]!--html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;!--![endif]-- Mr. Irish using it on the body, with classes, but read on his site that using on the html element was fine as well. Guess not. I think I'll stick to the tried and true conditional comments it's it's traditional use...

RE: [WSG] html5 issue
/ is not necessary to close the meta tag. meta charset=utf-8 Maybe this solve the problem. Imho, the / should make no difference, I believe the problem is that this meta is too far down in the markup. The OP should try to put that meta right after head -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

That's fabulous! Changing the HTML element was the trick! I can't, however, change the number of dashes as that is a ColdFusion comment and, well, I'm using ColdFusion!
