Topic: Question? (Page 1 of 1)

I feel pretty cofident in my CSS ability, I'd say upper itermediate but this code:

#toptab {

		background:#E8E8E8;

		width:100px;

		height:20px;

		margin:11px 0px 0px 75px;

		font-size:10px;

		border-top:1px solid #000; border-left:1px solid #000; border-right:1px solid #000;

		voice-family: "\"}\"";

		margin-top:10px;

		}

	html>body #toptab { margin-top:10px; }

from: http://www.glish.com/css/noah.asp

I cant seem to grasp the concept behind "voice-family" and the "html>body" tags.

Can some one explain or direct me to an explaination

Patrick: See:

www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html

Read through the 3 main CSS tutorials (esp. CSS intro 2 and the Box Model ones).

I have started an FAQ on this:

:FAQ: Can you explain the box model hack?

not much more there but we'll expand on it.]

Yeah, that's just jibberish code that exploits a parsing bug in IE5...

Another great resource is the css discuss wiki. Here's the page on CSS hacks:

Of course, if you're going for volume, nothing beats tabular data:

Quite a lot or hacks, don't you think?
