- pests 14y agoI think he was merely saying that it is a hack in the instance where a proper fix, without using overflow: hidden, COULD be found but in order to fix it NOW it was required to be used.
- Beekon 14y agoIt's not that overflow: hidden in itself is a hack, but it's application to counter collapsing due to floats. Already in the first paragraph, your link states that float containment is a side-effect. While I do use it for this exact reason, it leaves a bit of an aftertaste. And when it comes to css, isn't that the definition of a hack?
