Summary Media Queries hack breaks Safari/Opera on News.Yahoo.com

Reported 2007-01-30 06:29:30 PST
Steps: Scroll about half way down the screen. There is a news ticker similar to how iTunes Store shows new albums Expected: No scroll bars Actual: Scroll bars Reason: a Media Query hack was used to fix some Opera bug that never existed (as far as we can tell). The site also breaks in Opera. Removing the hack fixes Opera and WebKit. Example of a very bad approach to CSS hacks. code is here: stylesheet at http://us.i1.yimg.com/news.yahoo.com/v10/us/news/css/ynews.css?v=1144168322&akamaize=1 they have the following: /* Opera Scroll Bar Hack */ @media all and (min-width: 0px){ #ticker #ynscrollviewable { overflow: auto; overflow-x: scroll; } } I've contacted Nate at Yahoo! previously. I've just made him aware that it also breaks WebKit now.

P1 because this is a seeming regression in user effect.
