The kis factor -1

When I term this word kis here don’t confuse it with “actual one Kiss”. I refer the word here as “Keep It Simple and deliberately removing “extra s”

It is really happy to see that the old and rather complex way of web development is out there in the corner but not like before. But surely not prominently like before. Developers are always keen on simple way of making web sites and of course they imagine always!

But the ghost, I rather say Ravan is there in the present day of web development. Not in the form very complicated nested tables but in the form of complex CSS hack.

They catch you before you look into!

All including me spend lot of time surfing what exactly is CSS hack in the end of 1999s. But let me tell you these creeps are a threat to both developments.

I am not in the masses saying that with hack we replaced frames and nested tables there were on the main menu of web developers. But rather with the use of these web developers always felt a feeling of mastery in the event of uncertain web content display

One thing is where CSS hack will do wonders is in the mailing list Mails using “Funny Fred’s Hilarious replaced Right-Bracket hack” will definitely amaze the newbie. Taken into consideration that the CSS Hacks always seek complex solutions is also matters. Its like I will never let you go away from me and at the same time I will help you also.

The point is clear web is still an uncertain place where even if you use all the CSS techniques available you can’t be make sure that you will get the desired result on the browers. By using hacks if you will get the desired effect you are inviting more uncertainty.

For a new guy who are just into the world of CSS its more practical that to follow the way the website is going on and make it simple. No browsers will ever support CSS 100% correctly.

Where the threat is actually?

Now the problem is that the finest CSS hack will not have the clear idea of the final outcome of what he is doing. In the case of Bug fixing imagine the Hack found a bug fair enough! But there is a second BUG related to CSS selectors. The Hack will take the second bug to solve the first bug. Crazy Isn’t?

So what you prefer solving a bug with another bug. Well that will definitely go beyond the web standard!

In any case you can’t trust the browser to be released soon. It might solve your problem or it might solve one bug and will not touch another or in this uncertain world the browser won’t touch either. Gosh!

So you expect extra rule for you unnecessary while you apply a hack

The smart hackers will get a pair of complicated bugs and will convince you that the browser will make the bug never solved and will seduce the newbie to follow them to master the craft.

Do you think it’s professional? Not at all!

A sense of responsibly matters!

Let me tell you one thing finally do not go for it! It screws you royally! After all a 10px doesn’t matters a lot guys

If a glaring bug happens I suggest you guys go for a real solution in CSS itself. If you try almost all the CSS technique then go for a HACK. But not recommended personally!

@import hacks for Netscape. But use it for dead browsers not for living browsers.
