CSS Hacks and Filters
The theory of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a means to an end: better, more efficient Web site design. In the real world, however, CSS does not provide a perfect, clear-cut path to that goal.To achieve the promise of CSS, working designers have employed a series of workarounds known collectively as hacks. At the most basic level, a CSS hack is a modification to the standard CSS code. Like any deviation from the norm, the use
of CSS hacks has both its supporters and detractors: Some designers feel CSS hacks are an absolute necessity and others are fervently opposed to them. Continue Reading »
