CSS hack: Javascript, CSS, HTML for Firefox only

September 2nd, 2008 by Nikhil

Many a times we feel the need to write browser specfic hacks (though it is not a good practice, we UI developers have to resort to such evils until the great Browsers Wars comes to a truce). Earlier , I had mentioned in this article For your IEs Only, how to write a CSS snippet that would be visible to IE browsers < IE7 only.

Yesterday, I had a case, where I wanted to write some FireFox specific CSS snippets. Well! I am not sure if there is a CSS code for this but there is a HTML. THERE IS A CATCH THOUGH, this piece of HTML doesnot pass HTML validation. But , anywaz! If you are stuck badly or as such, have no-regards for validation (sometime we have to be cruel), you could use the following to declare a link to a FF only stylesheet or even just code the CSS within this block. The code is

<comment> Put your FireFox only HTML/CSS/Scripts here </comment>

e.g.
    <comment>
         <style>
             /* Styles for FF only  */
             fieldset{border:1px solid #dddddd;}
          </style>
     </comment>

I”m happy for the moment …
