css hacks - 10/30/2005 11:19:12
I dontuse css for positioning but I do read all the posts (and absorb some and remember none). I notice that it is prevalent to have to write "hacks" to make somethings work in IE. What will happen to these hacks if IE7 is fully compliant and prepared to render correctly but gets steered to the hacks? just a thought

If I have to use them for various versions of IE, I have served targetted conditionals instead so that it will be easier to remove them down the line.
Most of them are for older versions anyway.

I have read (although who knows how true it is) that the MS Developers are taking hacks into account when designing IE7 so for instance it won't recognise the *html hack that is often used for IE5 to IE6.
It pays to avoid real hacks as often as possible and when you do have to use them, as people have said, keep them separate.

. But fora are buzzing about this aspect and this one was not... until your post that is, which afforded the opportunity to provide some more information for those who may be concerned or thinking about dipping their toes into css-p.
