What does the star do? What is it called? For me it is some kind of wild card. What is it called so I can read about it?
#div {
*zoom: 1; /*this ... *
zoom : 1;
display: inline;
*display: inline; /*... and this, whats the difference? *
}
I know what this means (all elements):
* {
..css code
}
436
The * means "all elements" (a universal selector), so we are setting all elements to have zero margins, and zero padding, thus making them look the same in all browsers.
What is a CSS class? A CSS class is an attribute used to define a group of HTML elements in order to apply unique styling and formatting to those elements with CSS.
The Universal Selector is the * in CSS. Literally the asterisk character. It is essentially a type selector that matches any type. Type meaning an HTML tag like <div> , <body> , <button> , or literally any of the others. A common use is in the universal reset, like this: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
In simple words, its the key to target css on different IE browser versions. It can also be called as an CSS Hack.
#div {
*zoom: 1; /*Only works on IE7 and below*/
zoom : 1;
display: inline;
*display: inline; /*Only works on IE7 and below*/
}
Means this CSS works only on IE7 and below. It's kind of a hack we can use to apply CSS on IE7 and below.
Here is how to target IE6, IE7, and IE8 Uniquely
#div{
color: red; /* all browsers, of course */
color : green\9; /* IE8 and below */
*color : yellow; /* IE7 and below */
_color : orange; /* IE6 */
}
