[wsas-java-dev] Re: [esb-java-dev] Keeping two style sheets for IE and Firefox

[Ruwan Linton]

Hi,

I found that there is an another manageable way of doing the same thing 
through one style sheet (ease of managing the style sheet) through 
escaping styles. i.e. when we write styles with a leading underscore (_) 
Firefox neglect that where as IE neglects normal styles if the same 
style is there with a leading underscore. For example if we say,

.myClass {
  margin-left: 10px;
  _margin-left: 5px;
}

in the css, then IE takes the second one and Firefox takes the first one.

Thanks Chinthata, Saminda and Chamil on figuring this out for me.

thanks,
Ruwan.
