Question

Anyone know a working CSS selector hack that works in recent Safari but not chrome ?

Answer 1

+1 A:

What I'd do, is sniff the user agent of the browser with javascript, and add a class to the <body> element, based on that. That way you don't have to rely on any kind of hack, you just write your selectors based on the class:

.safari .misbehaving-div {
}

I believe there is already a JS framework that does exactly this, but I don't remember the name.

If i already have jQuery loaded for other purposes on the page. Would a jQuery solution be best ?

JQuery will report webkit for both Chrome and Safari, since they are both webkit based. You have to look at the userAgent the "normal" way, but you can use jQuery for adding the class to the body.
