problem with internet explorer showing html input button which is hidden

Question

I have a vb.net program that has a web browser control, and we all know that it is using the web browser in the computer before internet explorer. And my problem is, it doesn't recognize this css code:

<style type="text/css">
@media print {

    input[type=button] { display: none; }

}

I used that to make the print button invisible when I print the web page. How do I fix this one?Is it possible to add a reference to a portable web browser like firefox, then it will be used by the web browser control in vb.net?

Answer 1

IE < 7 doesn't know the [attribute=value] selector. You will have to use a class.

Answer 2

Not sure about getting VB.Net to use a different web browser, but IE 6 doesn’t understand CSS attribute selectors (i.e. [type=button]).

If you can amend the HTML to add a class to the <input> (e.g. <input type="button" class="button">), then you can hide it with this: input.button { display: none; }.

Answer 3

You'll need to use another method to hide the element, via a classname or ID;

.hideme { display:none }

To which you would add the classname:

<input type="button" name="authcode" value="Foo" class="hideme" />
