S@m Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I have recently run into this. element {margin:0 0 10px;.margin:7px 0;} I search for "dot hack, . hack" etc. Results are anything but useful. Is this a legitimate hack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Not necessarily a dot. It could be other symbols too, just anything that can't be interpretted by a valid CSS reader. It makes the code only readable by Internet Explorer, this one would work too:element {margin: 10px; _margin:5px; }I don't really like using hacks though.

S@m Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Right. Me neither. I've seen *cough* used the underscore hack or the "*html hack...I’ve never seen the ".element" before. Threw me for a loop; I wasn't sure if it had significant meaning.Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelguild13 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 its better to use a hack that validates:heres an example:(All browsers but IE)html>body (class or ID) { PUT STYLES IN HERE }(FOR IE 6 and lower)(class or ID) { PUT STYLES IN HERE } what you do is make two of the same classes but IE doesnt recongnize the "html>body". this does validate. The styling for all browsers comes first and then the IE corrections, since the style sheet is translated from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
