Home › Forums › CSS › In normalize.css some selectors' properties are preceded by the * sign
I noticed in the normalize.css file that some selectors’ properties are preceded by the * sign like this:
audio, canvas, video { display: inline-block; *display: inline; *zoom: 1; }
What doe the * sign in front of display and zoom represent? Regards.
I believe those are hacks to make those values only apply to old versions of Internet explorer
*display:inline and zoom:1 targets ie below ie8 to display those elements as if they were inline-block
Thanks SilverSerpent and jurotek.
