Hi,

Is there a way of using the hack



within css code, or is there an alternative? to comply with recent versions of IE and Mozilla

The

Code: Select all

 <!--[if IE]>
 
<![endif]-->

you put in your HTML document to send another stylesheet with the modifications for IE. So ... stuff like widths or 3-pixel-jog that are buggy in IE, you would put them in there.

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-NL" xml:lang="EN-NL">

<head>
    <title>prosite | internet solutions</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    
<link href="/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
    
    <!--[if IE 6]>
    <link href="/css/ie.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
    <![endif]-->
    
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

I only want to have one CSS file, is it possible to put the hack into the css file so that i can "override" the classes in the CSS and keep from having to have 2 CSS files called from the HTML

Like someone posted in the other forum you asked this question at... you can do

Code: Select all

* html #theid {
...
}

But IMO... it's always best to separate those types of hacks into another stylesheet.
