Bad CSS, Bad!

The following CSS rule:

1
cursor: hand;

Is not valid!  Please do not use it.  And yes, I am saying this out of frustration, after reviewing a significant number of instances of this in a few CSS files…

That is all.

    Is that bad css or bad developer? 🙂

    Now if you want to make sure that your site works with IE 5.5, which is very very important, you should have both pointer and hand. Another bad thing is that cursor: hand is valid in IE up to IE 8, but no longer valid in IE 9, who knows why they let that persist for so long.

    Also, if you care about Opera, which who doesn’t except for about 97% of browser users, cursor: hand still works for that, but they also support cursor: pointer just fine as well, which that I REALLY don’t understand.

    Of course, this being me, my post is laced with sarcasm, but just in case that is missed, cursor: pointer is the only one that has really mattered since 2001. 🙂
