Another nail in Netscape 4.x’s coffin

Most of what Mark Pilgrim has been posting in his 30 Days to a More Accessible Weblog series hasn’t been new to me, but today’s entry contains something I hadn’t seen before: a way to hide CSS from Netscape 4.x in a single stylesheet, rather than having separate stylesheets where the LINKed one is for Netscape and the @imported one is for everyone else. Damn, that’s clever. I’m always impressed by the lengths web designers will go to to discover these bugs so they can exploit them. From the further readings on Mark’s post today, it appears that the credit for this technique goes to Caio Chassot.
