RIRedinPA Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm going through someone's CSS file and they have a lot of styles properties like this: line-height /*\**/: 12px\9; What kind of hack is that?

Mchl Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Looks like a comment to me. Does nothing. Why would it be here? No idea. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/213397-css-hacks/#findComment-1111105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Those actually are hacks - they target specific versions of older browsers. But they are hacks in that they weren't designed to do that, they are bugs that allow that to be done. As such, they could cause unpredictable results in the future. Much better to use conditional comments which were made for the purpose of targeting IE browsers, and are purposefully ignored by other browsers.

Mchl Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Maybe you're right. There's something similar described in second to last paragraph here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/ie7-dehacker.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/213397-css-hacks/#findComment-1111274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
