Question: I have a PL/SQL function in an Oracle database that I can't change. This function takes a parameter which identifies an entity, creates a copy of that entity and then returns the ID of the copy. This looks something like

FUNCTION copy\_entity(id IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER

I need to call this function from Hibernate. I tried creating a named SQL query with something similar to

CALL copy\_entity(:id)

as the query, but from this I can't seem to get the return value of the function. Hibernate's "return-scalar" and similar options require a column name to return and I don't have a column name. This lead me to

SELECT copy\_entity(:id) AS newEntityId

with "return-scalar" using newEntityId as column name, but this also did not work since Oracle then throws an exception that I can't call INSERT (to save the copy) in a SELECT.

Is there any way to get the return value of such a PL/SQL function? The function is actually much more complex and still required in other parts of the app, so re-writing it is not really an option.

Answer: 
Maybe you should try setting your `li` as follows:

```
li{
   display:block;
   float:left;
   height:myHeight;
   clear:right;//may be necessary, can't check with IE7
}

```

This is what I've done with similar problems.
Do what was suggested in the previous posts. If these changes are causing issues in browsers other than IE, you can do the following to have only IE use them:

```
.selector {
    prop1 : val1; /* default value for all browsers */
    *prop1 : val2; /* only IE will pick this one up and it will override the initial value of prop1. */
}

```

This works much better than trying to do special commenting to include separate style sheets, etc.
