usage of * symbol in css
css, stylesheet
Solution
`*zoom` is a hack that applies it ie6 and ie7. `* { }` is a wildcard (matches all elements or subset; if used like `#header *` it would apply to all descendants of `#header`). `[class*="span"]` matches elements that have a `class` with the word "span" anywhere.
Problem
I found some stylesheets using `*` symbol on it. for example `*zoom: 1;` what does the `*` symbol stands. sometimes which appears like `[class*="span"]` this. can anybody clear me the usage of the symbol `*` in css
