Hmmm, cannot see any where specific for this, so if I'm wrong, please move topic and accept my apologies :)
IE7 is out!
This wouldn't be too bad, apart from I'm not upgrading to it until I know I can either go-back to IE6 with not hassles, or I can use both for testing purposes.
I've read up on it, sounds great.
The problem is, (as I knew it would be), they actually fixed several major bugs... and removed "Hackability" to some extent.
This not only means that there are now Umpteen thousand sites that look dodgey, it means some of mine may be in there :)
Does anyone use the "Star Selector Hack" for hiding CSS from all browsers bar IE ?
i.e.
* body
{
border: 10px solid #000000;
}
OR, as I prefer to use...
body
{
border: 15px solid #000000;
*border: 10px solid #000000;
}
(Oddly enough - few people seem to have made this leap!)
((It does work - Only IE reads the * marked property, and as it's second, it over-rides the first! :) )
Now, my question is... what does IE7 do with this?
Does anyone know?
If I read-right, it should actually ignore the * line... and hopefully, due to bug fixes, actually render the css properly, (so it's basicly ignoring a hacked-line that is no-longer required ?)
If anyone knows, please let me know... (I'd hate to have to go back and alter all those sites :(
