w/idth?

[Halcrow]

can anyone explain the /width and w/idth entries in this code. I pasted this from layout-o-matic - I am trying to understand it.

width: 760px;
\width: 780px;
w\idth: 760px;
border: 1px solid gray;
margin: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 10px;

Thanks
Calum

i believe they are simply mistakes since \width or w\idth don't exist in CSS

are you sure it doesn't have something to do with "the IE box principle?

 

[DaZZleD]

pretty sure

It is a hack to hide the property from certain browsers. To see exactly what it is doing, consult the list:

Sorry Vrags...
Didn't mean to post another link that likely repeats your link.
