Same CSS code just in one line – how?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 20.2007

I have this code in my .css page:

[code]
ul#menu li#m_01 { margin-left: 35px; background-image: url(images/home.gif); width: 47px; }
html>body ul#menu li#m_01 { margin-left: 75px; }
[/code]

I want to transfer to the actual HTML page but I’m not sure how do I use the hack if I’m writing it in one line such as:

[code]
<li id=”m_01″><a href=”/home/”></li>
[code]

How can I do this?

@OctoberWindSep 20.2007 — inline styles?
[code=html]
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 75px; background-image: url(images/home.gif); width: 47px;">list item here</li>
</ul>
[/code]

@WebnerdSep 20.2007 — Who is the hack for, IE?

_margin-left: 75px; should work as IE will read the underscore and other browsers will ignore

@weeeauthorSep 20.2007 — Thanks man! Yes, it's for IE.

@KravvitzSep 20.2007 — Why can't you just use a <style> element?

It's best to avoid using inline styles.

The underscore hack is not valid. Use it at your own risk.

Sure it's not valid but when it comes to IE, I do anything it takes to get that stupid browser to render things correctly ;-)

Success!
