Star Plus Hack
Although Internet Explorer 7 no longer recognizes the classic star HTML hack, it has introduced a similar hack using selectors new to IE7:
*:first-child+html p { font-size: 5em; }Or...
*+html p { font-size: 5em; }This code will be applied in Internet Explorer 7, but not in any other browser. Note that this hack only works in IE7 standards mode; it does not work in quirks mode. This hack is also supported by Internet Explorer 8's compatibility view (IE7 standards mode), but not in IE8 standards mode. Like the star HTML hack, this uses valid CSS.

Famous quotes containing the words star and/or hack:
“Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Painting consumes labour not disproportionate to its effect; but a fellow will hack half a year at a block of marble to make something in stone that hardly resembles a man. The value of statuary is owing to its difficulty. You would not value the finest head cut upon a carrot.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
