CSS Simplified Box Model Hack

If the background color of this paragraph is green (a darker green than this page's background) then the hack was applied.

Example Code

p.test {
  background-color: #f66;
  bac\kground-color: #6f6;
}

List of browsers that apply this

• IE6+, when in either rendering mode
• Firefox
• NS6.0-7.2
• NS4.x
• Opera 6+
• Safari
• Konqueror 3
• iCab 3
• IE5/Mac

List of browsers that do not apply this

• IE4-5.5/Win

Notes

• This does not work if the backslash ("\") used to escape the character immediately preceds any character used in hexadecimal ("hex") numbers, which are 0 through 9 and A through F (both lower and upper case).
• If you escape the first character in a property name, that's a different hack.
• If IE6 and/or IE7 are rendering the page in backward's compatibility mode (aka quirks mode) then this hack may not have the intended affect.
• This hack causes NS4.x to ignore the whole stylesheet that contains it.
• Opera 5 (I don't know about versions 1 through 4.) ignores the rule that contains it.
