CSS3 Attribute Selectors: So Hot Right Now

Posted by Kyle Weems on May 01, 2008

As discussed here, I’m really getting into CSS3 Attribute Selectors. As mentioned earlier in my Yo-Yo post, I’ve been looking into solutions to make these guys more accessible, and I’ve come full circle to realize that I don’t need to do anything extra to incorporate them in my website and have users see them in any major browser. This is because:

1. The modern versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera all support them. (Here’s a test page at Mindfly’s website to prove the point).

2. The Dean Edwards IE7 script DOES extend full CSS3 attribute selector support to IE6 (I’m guessing my earlier tests had an error, because now I’m showing full compliance with this second test page that includes that script (once again, at Mindfly).

The CSS3 features I’m really looking for support for now, then, are the CSS3 pseudoclasses and multiple background images. *drool* Multiple background images alone would help cut down on my markup immensely, making features such as rounded boxes so much less of a pain in the arse.
