Did some really small superficial test to see which older browsers support underscores in class names:
- IE 4 no
- IE 5, 5.5 yes
- Netscape 4.77 yes (surprisingly)
- Netscape 6 no
- Netscape 7 yes
(obviously this list is far from complete)
Now I remember why I joined the WSG list again... Thanks Patrick....
While I was at it, also tested support for multiple class names (e.g. class="warning notice" referring to .warning and .notice simultaneously): - IE 4 no - IE 5, 5.5 yes - Netscape 4.77 no - Netscape 6, 7 yes
Underscores are not part of our CSS naming conventions, though a lot of them still slip through the net.. ;)
Multiple class names, a trap for younger players.... class="arial bold red big"
Don't laugh... I've seen it done .. and it was thought cool at the time, until they were told otherwise..or cracked over the head, I can't recall.. ;)
"and look to make it blue all you do is change the class name to from red to blue, pretty cool eh?"
*shivers*
