Those that have visited this blog with IE6 I apologise.

I tried to implement a CSS 2.0 specific selector syntax that I came across because I am lazy but ending up breaking styles for IE6 users.

Am I boverred ?

Well yes actually becuase I wanted to use these selectors to implement a “highlight microformats on this page” stylesheet swticher based piece of code

I will keep trying look out for updates

and wanted to avoid applying classes to external links

a[href="http://"]


Unfortunately this broke the layout in IE and I did not conditionally comment it

Must try harder but a lesson learnt.

IE 7 has apparently added confusion I am trying to find out whether it has support for the following selectors.

* Child selectors (Ex: h1 > p)
* Adjacent selectors (Ex: h1 + p)
* Attribute selectors (Ex: h1[class=firstH1])
* The :first-child pseudo-class (Ex: h1:first-child bold)
* The :first-letter pseudo-class (Ex: h1:first-letter)
* The :first-line pseudo-class (Ex: h1:first-line)

Some say no [ a good article] and the MSDN authorities say yes

Am I bothered
Well yes because I am trying to implement a “Highlight hidden microformats in this page ” stylesheet switcher as a learning project at the moment - Following on from inspiration gained from 24ways via Jeremy Keith . I sid it was affecting my work!!

With so many unsupported selectors what chance is there to implement CSS3 selectors
