Hi,

Im sure this is a common question, I searched and I havent been able to find a way around it yet...


I want to get the css to ignore IE or Firefox.

I dont want to change any of the HTML, for example inserting [if IE] statments.

I have tried * html div# ... but this doesnt work for IE7, as far as i can see

I have tried the ! important also but this does not work for IE7 either

Is there a work around for getting the css to ignore all versions of IE or Firefox by editing the CSS only ?

No, there isn't. Why would you want to do that anyway ? What exactly are you trying to accomplish ??

Why ? Conditional comments only work for IE and they are perfectly acceptable to use.

That's because the IE bugs that the star hack was meant to target has been fixed in IE 7 - so you cannot use it any more -unless you use conditional comments and target an IE 6 and below only CSS sheet.

Most newbies seem to love that !important attribute.. and it's rarely needed if your code is written properly.

If you don't want CSS to affect your page, DON"T link the CSS file to the page !
