I have a website I am working on: tinyurl.com/6s4nwnu
I have the whole website other then the menu and the footer in a wrapper div. The footer div has a clear:both on it, that works in every browser but IE (go figure).
I have tried the clear fix, with no luck.
When you resize the browser, the menu disappears as well, and the footer goes to mid-page. Not sure why.
Suggestions?
You have a few more issues with the page besides that, and fixing them might fix the rest. Your text also goes out of frame if the window size is not wide enough to display all the text. A min-width would help out with that. It also may help out with your other problems.
Right now your #content sizes don't match up right with the box model for ie8 or lower, so fixing all of that should come first to narrow down where the other issues are coming from. The DTD would need to be set so that IE uses Quirks Mode, because that's the only way I'm getting the boxes to line up right. I notice that you've done that, but by doing so, the IE9 design is not as clean as it should be. Using the Internet Explorer conditional css tags should help out there. I'd put in a min-width for all of it so that it doesn't break when your width is not great enough, since that is a problem in Firefox as well. I tried using IETester to see if it could recreate the ie6 error, but no luck there. I would put in a min-width on your content, and see if your problems go away.
There are many solutions.
See http://paulirish.com/2009/browser-specific-css-hacks/
Where you can find a detailed list of browser specific hacks to target specific browsers.
Or
You can use Paul Irish's conditional html class.
Which i extended for your case to include "ie" besides the version.
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html class="ie ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]> <html class="ie ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]> <html class="ie ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]> <html class="ie ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <html class=""> <!--<![endif]-->
Where you can later target IE like so:
.ie{} // targets all IE's
.ie6{} // targets IE6
.ie7{} // targets IE7
.ie8{} // targets IE8
.ie9{} // targets IE9

How to target only IE (any version) within a stylesheet? [duplicate]
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I am looking for a way to modify my style.css file to target ONLY Internet Explorer browser (so without impacting my styles for Chrome & Firefox).
Example
I want to the following style for Chrome & Firefox:
.header .currency {margin: **-28px** 0px 0px 0px;}
I want the following style for IE:
.header .currency {margin: **-30px** 0px 0px 0px;}
Note
Posts exist for CSS modification on HTML file and this is not what I am looking for. Therefore please do not provide response if this is not link to .CSS file.
IE6 to IE9
For versions of IE up to IE9, it's best to use conditional stylesheets :
<!--[if lte IE 6]> Internet Explorer 6 or less <![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 7]> Internet Explorer 7 or less <![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 8]> Internet Explorer 8 or less <![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 9]> Internet Explorer 9 or less <![endif]-->
Conditional stylesheets are ignored by every browser except versions of IE that correspond with the condition.
IE10 to IE11
Unfortunately, IE10 and IE11 do not support conditional stylesheets. However, you can use the following CSS hack to target only those two browsers :
#media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) {
// Put your IE10+-specific CSS here
}
See browserhacks.com for an overview of different ways to target specific browsers with CSS.
Note
For various reasons, it's recommended to write as little browser-specific CSS as possible.
Best way is use conditional comments.
For example:
<!--[if IE 8]>
load here your ie8.css
<![endif]-->
IF you want edit only CSS:
/* IE css hack */
margin-top: 10px\9 /* apply to all ie from 8 and below */
*margin-top:10px; /* apply to ie 7 and below */
_margin-top:10px; /* apply to ie 6 and below */
Final mode, #media hack.
I want to hide a specific section in my jsp page for IE8 only. I want it to be showed in other browsers like IE9, IE9+, Chrome, Safari, Firefox etc. Tried the following snippet:
<!--[if IE8]>
<li>{{common}}</li>
<![endif]-->
It hides the element in IE8, but also in other browsers too! I want it be hide only in IE8. How to acieve that?
<!--[if !IE 8]><!-->
<li>{{common}}</li>
<!--<![endif]-->
I am writing some markup, which includes a image below a div. I want to add another image when the browser is IE8. How do I write IE8 specific markup using javascript or JQuery?
You don't need JS / Jquery for this, you can just use normal CSS.
All you're doing is adding a class to your HTML depending on the version of IE that is detected.
In your header add these (or a variation of) conditionals:
<!--[if lt IE 7]><html class="ie6"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><html class="ie7"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]><html class="ie8"><![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html><!--<![endif]-->
Then you can show / hide elements in your CSS like so:
.ie8 .myImage {
display: block;
}
.ie7 .myImage {
display: none;
}
You can use jQuery to recognize Internet Explorer version 8.
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.browser/
if ($.browser.msie && parseInt($.browser.version) == 8)
{
//IE8 specific code block
}
I am testing one of my web pages for compatibility in different browsers.
I had some issues with ie8 and so i added well known [if IE] block to the code. This is the code I added.
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
.ie-issue{
top:0;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
But it doesn't rendering in my ie8 and cannot think of a way to get it work. Please help me on getting this done.
If you can't get the conditional to work properly, this is a good work around: http://paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/
Try !important. I would also specify position:absolute in you [if IE]. Finally, remember, negative numbers work as well (top:-100px;).
Try margin-top instead of top.
Here is the link to my website thats still under development. It runs well in Internet Explorer 8 and 9 as well as in Firefox. The webkit browsers (Safari and Chrome) are not able to display the facebook "like box" properly. The box goes above the dividing line. While in IE7 for some strange reason the search form doesnt float:right.
This is my first website so sorry for any pathetic questions:) Can u also please tell me to write a script for IE6 that would show a message to upgrade to a modern browser because IE6 absolutely messes everything up. Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated. I have used the toolbox theme for Wordpress to develop this blog.
I have used :
time.entry-date {color:#000; font-style:italic; text-decoration:none;}
To change the post date's color to black and remove the underline but the text-decoration:none does not work.
Facebook follow box :
#fb-root {
position:relative;
float: left;
margin-left: 10px;
/* remove: margin-top, z-index */
}
HTML5 elements are not recognised by ie < 9. Add to page <head>:
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
JQuery for ie6 message:
if ($.browser.msie && parseInt($.browser.version) =< 6) {
var here = ' here';
$('body').prepend('<div id="message">Please upgrade your browser'+here+'!</div>')
}
Hope it helps.
