Firefox 3.5 now supports the nth-* pseudoclass, which was what I was using to target my css for Safari and Chrome. Now Firefox reads those too, causing minor layout issues. Does anyone know a way to specifically target FF 3.5+?
BODY:nth-of-type(1) #topsearch input[type=submit] /* Safari 3.1+ and Chrome */ {
height:19px
}
How about this, I tested it in Safari 4 and the height is 19px, in Firefox 3.5 the height displays as 39px.
<style>
BODY:nth-of-type(1) #topsearch input[type=submit] /* Safari 3.1+ and Chrome */ { height:19px }
BODY:nth-of-type(1) #topsearch input[type=submit], x:-moz-any-link, x:default { height: 39px; }
</style>
On a "religious" note, we shouldn't be using CSS to target any browser. Unfortunately due to IE being waaaay behind on supporting CSS features (and all the bugs) hacks have been applied to target CSS for a given browser.
The Conditional Comments that IE uses... although ugly... do provide a handy mechanism for targeting a browser (and version)... I almost wish other browsers supported this.
I've seen a few sites do this... which is an interesting approach to handling targeting of various browsers.
<head>
<style>
body.safari form input{
/*special styles for Safari*/
}
body.firefox form input{
/*special styles for Firefox*/
}
body.firefox.v3-5 form input{
/*special styles for Firefox 3.5*/
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script>
//run code here, that sets the class and or id attribute on the body tag...
</script>
In the long run, they are all hacks... it just depends what kind of hacks you're willing to live with ;-)
CSS Browser selector lets you write CSS that targets specific browsers, without worrying about hacks. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
My approach using a PHP class to detect os, browser and browser version. You can target any version of almost any browser on any operating system.
using http://rafael.adm.br/css%5Fbrowser%5Fselector/
just substitute this part:
is('firefox/2')?g+' ff2':is('firefox/3')?g+' ff3'
for this part:
is('firefox/2')?g+' ff2':is('firefox/3.5')?g+' ff3_5':is('firefox/3')?g+' ff3'
that should do the trick
PS: if you want to also catch other 3.x versions you might want to add:
is('firefox/2')?g+' ff2':is('firefox/3.5')?g+' ff3_5':is('firefox/3.6')?g+' ff3_5':is('firefox/3.8')?g+' ff3_5':is('firefox/3')?g+' ff3'
This works:
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0){
#topsearch input[type=submit] { height:19px; }
}}
That targets newer WebKit browsers, and not Gecko or Trident.
