I dont understand why anyone needs to hack anything. If you design to web standards and use a logical structure/layout with good use of floats or positioning, you can develop a page/layout that works in all browsers. It usually takes a bit of tweaking but it can be done. I thought this group was discussions of all things relating to standards and not support of people using non-standard ways i.e. hacking/conditional comments. > >> It's far more reliable than CSS hacks, which may cause problems in >> future browsers. > >I don't agree with that assessment, providing one work a bit on >selecting the right CSS hack and don't just use any hack because it >seems to work.
To my mind, that is the definition of a CSS hack - it is abuse of a bug that is believed to only apply to the required browser(s) There is almost never a direct correlation between the bug and the 'fix' that is being applied. Conditional comments aren't pretty, and generally I try to use CSS that does not require different versions for different browsers, but if nothing else, a conditional comment makes its purpose entirely clear - no chance of a future editor tidying up and breaking the hack.
