CSS Browser Hacks

I wanted to document every browser-specific css selector and style attribute hack I’ve seen. Plus there’s no way to provide stylesheets to only Safari, I believe. With these you’ll be able to better target IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera from within the css.

/* IE6 and below */

* html #uno { color: red } 

/* IE7 */

*:first-child+html #dos { color: red }

/* IE7, FF, Saf, Opera */

html>body #tres { color: red }

/* IE8, FF, Saf, Opera (Everything but IE 6,7) */

html>/**/body #cuatro { color: red }

/* Opera 9.27 and below, safari 2 */

html:first-child #cinco { color: red }

/* Safari 2-3 */

html[xmlns*=""] body:last-child #seis { color: red }

/* safari 3+, chrome 1+, opera9+, ff 3.5+ */

body:nth-of-type(1) #siete { color: red }

/* safari 3+, chrome 1+, opera9+, ff 3.5+ */

body:first-of-type #ocho { color: red }

@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {

#diez { color: red }

}

/* iPhone / mobile webkit */

@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {

#veintiseis { color: red }

/* Safari 2 - 3.1 */

html[xmlns*=""]:root #trece { color: red }

/* Everything but IE6-8 */

:root *> #quince { color: red }

/* IE7 */

@media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) {

#veintiun { color: red; }

}

/* Firefox only. 1+ */

#veinticuatro, x:-moz-any-link { color: red }

/* Firefox 3.0+ */

#veinticinco, x:-moz-any-link, x:default { color: red }

/* FF 3.5+ */

body:not(:-moz-handler-blocked) #cuarenta { color: red; }

/***** Attribute Hacks ******/

/* IE6 */

#once { _color: blue }

/* IE6, IE7 */

#doce { *color: blue; /* or #color: blue */ }

/* Everything but IE6 */

#diecisiete { color/**/: blue }

/* IE6, IE7, IE8, but also IE9 in some cases :( */

#diecinueve { color: blue\9; }

/* IE7, IE8 */

#veinte { color/*\**/: blue\9; }

/* IE6, IE7 -- acts as an !important */

#veintesiete { color: blue !ie; } /* string after ! can be anything */

/* IE8, IE9 */

#anotherone {color: blue\0/;} /* must go at the END of all rules */

/* IE9, IE10 */

@media screen and (min-width:0\0) {

#veintidos { color: red}

}
