is it working properly
Okay… maybe its just me… but I’m not sure I understand this snippet. Anyone care to explain?
Hi there, just like Chris, I would like an explanation of what this code does?
Thanks :)
I think it explains the ways to do browser-specific css-rules. For example, if you want to have red background on element with IE6, you take the first selector and do your magic with it.
It’s not working properly. Please add a demo page.
It’s working but should be follow hierarchic.
/*For IE 8 Only*/
.header{
border:#000 solid 5px /;
}
/*For IE 8 Only*/
.header{border:#000 solid 5px /;
i am not able to submit right code for IE8.
/* Safari */
html[xmlns*=""] body:last-child .yourclass { }
This is not working in safari. I need a filter which can differ webkit from chrome.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Can you have it directed to an external style sheet or does it have to be embedded?
I use these hack for targeting specific IE versions
color : green; /* IE9 and below */
color : green\9; /* IE8 and below */
*color : yellow; /* IE7 and below */
_color : orange; /* IE6 */
Why using hack on each line ?
If you’ve got a complex integration, use the conditionnals comments with specifics div ids.
For example if you wanna target IE7
