One of the old lists... <http://www.communis.co.uk/dithered/css_filters/css_only/index.html> ...and a somewhat newer one - in active but not serious use... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/styles/target-browser.css> > Anyone care to offer me a reference where I can see what markup to > use for different browsers? If you really mean markup (not CSS) then there's only the occasional need for an extra, otherwise harmless, container or separating-element to make IE/win behave - for instance between floats and absolute positioned elements. > Also, while we're at it, is this approach any better/worse than a > conditional style sheet? It is not a good idea to make serious use of hacks for anything but old IE - IE7 and below, for which there are a few reliable CSS hacks in addition to Conditional Comments. Your example with the "leading underscore" for IE6 and older, fits right in there (apart from upsetting the CSS validator). Other browsers are being developed and picked up by users too quickly for us to consider anything but the use of progressive styling as method for getting the most out of the latest versions without having our designs completely broken by the slightly older versions. In this respect nothing has changed since I wrote this... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_1_02_01.html> ...and the headline says it all, really. Bottom line: don't target specific (non-IE) browsers with CSS or otherwise. It will come back to haunt you. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
