Just stumbled upon this in a borrowed css file – something I’ve never noticed

  • 0

Just stumbled upon this in a borrowed css file – something I’ve never noticed before, and punctuation in context is inherently hard to google:

.ez-radio { zoom: 1; *display:inline; _height:15px; }

What’s the '*' prefix do?

And for the matter the underscore in _height?

Is this some new CSS3 trickery?

    It’s used for CSS hacks in Internet Explorer.

    * is IE 6 – 7 only (thank you, mck89!)

    _ is IE 6 and below.

    Don’t use them. If you need browser specific CSS definitions, use specialized CSS definitions instead.
