internet explorer allow javascript expressions in plain css, it used to be a handy trick to make zebra striped tables, although thats a bad use, its also part of what was behind the png hacks

I was aware of expression() when used in css on IE, but didn't know anything would execute url('javascript:

IE7 executes expression() when used in css (inline/style/external css file), but not when you set css from js. Also cannot make it execute url('javascript:

(Safari/Firefox/Opera/Chrome execute none of the above).
