zang8027 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Ok, so i use css to format all my pages. I know its an on going problem with everyone out there. The problem of browser compatibility. I know a few tricks with the conditional statements for IE but i have no idea how to get it to work on safari. I usually make a .css file that is my main file. I use this for firefox. Once i get it looking right on firefox, i use the IE conditional statements to get it looking good on Internet Explorer. My question is, how do you get websites to look right on Safari. I have a website that works fine on IE and firefox, but then it gets butchered with safari. Is there a safari conditional statement?

wildteen88 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 You shouldn't have to apply css hacks for browsers other than IE. The problem I'm seeing is you're testing in just one browser (firefox) as you're developing your site design. You should always code bit by bit and test any changes you make in a variety of browsers at the same time, such as IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Google Chrome etc. As well as testing your design within a browser always ensure your HTML/CSS validates.

sKunKbad Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I use Yahoo! YUI css reset. This little stylesheet makes most browsers (even IE) behave very similarly. By using this, I make my life much easier. If you look at my website source code, you will see the link to the yahoo stylesheet. I agree with wildteen88. You shouldn't need hacks, and if you do then you probably need more practice with CSS.

sinista Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 hey i need some help with a conditional statement to, i don't know why, but it just doesn't seem to work, I'm using <!--[if lte IE 7]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="IE_hack.css"> <![endif]--> which fixes my IE browser but when i look at the page on my safari browser nothing seems to work, the statement is <!--[if Webkit]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="safari_hack.css"> <![endif]--> any help with this would be very appreciated Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/124952-css-vs-browsers/#findComment-645878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilmGod Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Conditional statements only work for Internet Explorer. Safari has no conditional statements! A quick search on google would resolve this issue faster than I took to respond to this post...
