CSS Hacks - A Timely Reminder

If you are someone that is working with CSS on a semi-regular basis, chances are these hacks being mentioned here are going to be of importance to you. But please, don’t take my word for it…check it out for yourself.

With the news of IE7 somewhere on the horizon, there’s something that all web developers should be aware of if - and it’s a big if, I believe - Microsoft does take the opportunity of updating and fixing the CSS rendering problems with their browser. As Anne van Kesteren points out in his web log, there is a real chance that workarounds developed to deal with IE-specific CSS problems - and by that I mean ‘hacks’, folks - could unravel somewhat. As we’ve pointed out before, though, hacks are a necessary evil but if you do things right, it’s an easy enough problem to sort out should something in the CSS playing field change suddenly.
