Understanding the Box Model / hacks I just recently found this article : http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1239961&postcount=1 and wonder if any of you have used this method? I am "used to" the tantek method http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html . Is there ever and instance where you would use both? Have you ever used both? What on earth were you doing? Can I see it? Started By RobinAnn on Apr 6, 2005 at 5:28:05 AM

philcha on Apr 12, 2005 at 8:35:34 AM I often use the underscore hack for IE-specific parts of rules. I know it doesn't validate, but its advantages are: It's shorter - this can make downloads faster if the CSS is complex and has a lot of IE-specific content. It's easier to understand and maintain the code because the "compliant" version of the property is immediately followed by the IE-specific version, it's not in a separate rule. Robin Ann, where can I get a spec for KSS, it sounds like a cure for browser blues! Any chance of a longer humorous article on KSS? BTW, I usually force IE into quirks mode - the last thing I want is to deal with two sets of IE bugs.
