The page in question is. http://css-class.com/test/css/selectors/ie7hacktargetingopera.htm So I did some reverse testing of IE8. http://css-class.com/cssscript/images.css By the 13 of February I had the results (IE8 applied *+html and div+*+div) so that gave me advance warning to prepare my test. http://css-class.com/test/ That frantic rush to support that better browser named IE/Mac wasn't for no good reason. :-) The other testing of IE8 involved if it supported any new selectors which it doesn't. So I see know way to hack for IE8 without also targeting IE7 (or visa versa), unless someone uses my approach in targeting IE8. /*\*//*/ @import url("test-ie8.css"); @import("test-ie.css"); /* For IE/Mac */ @import test-ie; /* For IE/Win */ Anyway no hacks should be needed for IE8 and you are correct, IE8 will drop support for *+html and div+*+div in a later beta since they breaks support for sibling selectors and first-child. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Mar/0049.html Alan http://css-class.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
