I think you meant to show the star next to the "width" property name, no?
No space between.
It is a true hack, as property names do not begin with a star. IE 5 - 7
ignore the star, and apply a width of 320px. Other browsers correctly
ignore that declaration and apply a width of 300px.
The star selector or Tan hack (example 2) does not apply to IE 7.
FWIW - you can also target IE 5 - 6 and leave IE 7 alone by using an
underscore instead of a star.
It seems to be popular. I use it as a quick fix while debugging.
Don't know what it's called, though.
Cordially,
David
