I'm using .class1.class2 .class3 selector, where .class1.class is a combination selector and .class3 belongs to a descendant. works fine in FF, but on IE7, it doesn't work. In the css below, the second style is always shown in IE. any solution?
<STYLE type="text/css">
.test1.test2 .test3{
width:90px;
height:100px;
}
.test4.test2 .test3{
width:900px;
height:100px;
}
</style>
<div class="test1 test2">
<button value="test" class="test3"/>
</div>
Use Conditional Comments , this issue has been raised too many times here is an example :
<!--[if lte IE 9>
<style type="text/css">
.test1,.test2,.test3{
width:90px;
height:100px;
}
.test4,.test2,.test3{
width:900px;
height:100px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
This means all IE family browser less than version 9 are going to read in this style, or you can use style with # to be read by IE like this :
<STYLE type="text/css">
.test1,.test2,.test3{
#width:90px;
#height:100px;
}
.test4,.test2,.test3{
#width:900px;
#height:100px;
}
</style>
That style should work perfectly on IE7+. As Pekka said in the comments there is a small problem with IE6. I'm guessing that you're not using the strict doctype perhaps?
In which case, you deserve everything you get :-o
Just add <!doctype html> to the start of the HTML file and everything should be fine.
just for let you know, what you are using is called Multiple Classes method! IE7 need to use this form:
div.class1.class2 div.class3 {}
IE6 don't suppurt this you can hack it, read the solution
hope this help!
