Microsoft is slowly moving towards compliance. The fact that they are not
doing so quickly presents an unnecessary challenge to content creators and CSS
authors because previously created hacks will not work, and new bugs may arise
from the changes that are being made in the new version of the widely used
browser that is not standards compliant.
In the past, we have all user the * html, or _ or # and other techniques to
serve specific Cascading Stylesheet (CSS) information to Microsoft Browsers to
cater for their proprietary implementation CSS units and the box model. Some of
the popular methods of isolating IE when styling and doing page layout will not
work as some sections of the Microsoft implementation of CSS become Standards
Compliant. In a particular case at hand, I discovered that IE 7.0 does not
interpret form field heights and padding in the same way as IE 6 in CSS and thus
using the # hack to send a different dimensions/units to IE and Firefox leaves
either IE6 or IE7 badly aligned.
In this case, I found out that much as both IE6 and IE7 still work with the #
hack that prefixes settings, IE7 ignores the underscore '_' hack. This makes it
possible to create separate settings for Firefox, IE 6 and IE 7 as shown in the
below example:
context_bar_form_field
{
height: 15px;
#height: 15px;
_height: 21px;
}
The first setting will apply to all browsers,
The second setting will only apply to Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers
The third setting will only apply to IE browsers 6.0 and older

Bill Gates gave his last talk, appropriately, to
developers at TechEd. No matter what you think of the guy,
he is an icon that helped create the software industry. Without
him and Steve Jobs, who do we have? :) In his speach he talked
about Internet Explorer, and how IE 8 will have an update in a
couple of months:
Gates also highlighted Microsoft's flagship Web technology,
the Internet Explorer (IE) browser, which has been an asset and
a curse for the company over the years. While it allowed
Microsoft to secure its dominant position in Web-browsing
technology, it also triggered Microsoft's U.S. antitrust woes,
something that haunts the company to this day. IE also has taken
a hit in the past several years as Mozilla Firefox, an
open-source browser, has gained a loyal following, forcing
Microsoft to step up development and make its own product more
innovative.
Gates revealed that beta 2 of the next version of IE, IE 8,
will be available in August. He also stumped for what has been
his pet interest during his years at Microsoft -- natural
human-interface technology that allows people to interact with
computers in ways similar to how they interact with each other.
Last week, Microsoft revealed that the next version of Windows,
Windows 7, will include touchscreen technology, a fact he
mentioned in his talked.
