Unknown character in CSS stylesheet, doing something.

Templates and document types
Hello,

I'm snooping around, and tinkering with Umbraco (still), and I'm changing few things in the CSS stylesheet that comes with Simple Site Friendly ghost template.

Now I've came across this weird part in the stylesheet. There is an 'f' character standing there, and when I delete it, it changes some things on the alignment of my div's.

Here is the snippet:
```
/* -- TOP --*/
#top {}f
#topInner { background:Pink;height:60px; margin:0 auto; width:960px; }
#top h1 { background:#FFFFFF; font-size:30px; font-weight:bold; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing:-2px; padding:0 0 0 35px; -moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25); -o-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25); -webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25); text-shadow:1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25); }
#top h1 a { color:#000; text-decoration:none; }
#top h1 a:hover {}
#top h2 { font-weight:normal; font-size: 12px; margin:0 0 30px 35px; text-transform: lowercase;}
```
Could anyone inform me on how this works? Does it trigger some sort of a function? Or..?

Thanks anyway!

Christophe,

Hi, I'm not sure but it looks like some sort of a "CSS hack".

I have never seen CSS like that. It may look your other div's look different when you take it out because it doesn't apply the stylesheet items after that '{}f' because it isn't parsing correctly but then when you do take it out, it applies the items as it should. You can use firebug to see what is getting applied to your elements: http://getfirebug.com/
