The #id.class selector in IE6 28.08.2008 @ 02:11pm 485 comments

The ability to style an element using it's #id and several associated classes is often something that people believe is not possible in IE6. In some ways, that is true but it is possible to get this working with XHTML and CSS alone.

An example of what I am talking about can be seen below:

#feedback {
    background-color: #DFDFFF;
    border: 1px solid #4947BF;
    padding: 10px;
    }
#feedback.error {
    background-color: #FFBFC8;
    border-color: #AF4C59;
    }
#feedback.success {
    background-color: #CEFFBF;
    border-color: #64AF4C;
    }

<div id="feedback" class="success">
    <p>This is a success message</p>
</div>

Using the above XHTML markup you will notice that IE6 applies the #feedback styling and completely ignores the #feedback.success CSS. It is really quite strange how IE6 decides which rule to apply. For example, if my feedback div had the 'error' class it would apply the #feedback.error styling. So, in simple terms IE6 basically says "Check to see if the first #id.class rule matches and if so, apply it. If not, ignore the other #id.class rules and just apply the #id rule".

In order to get IE6 to pay attention to the other #id.class rules, you have to add another element inside your #feedback element that wraps it's containing markup and then tweak the CSS slightly... it's a pain, but it works. For example:

<div id="feedback" class="success"><div>
    <p>This is a success message</p>
</div></div>

Then the CSS should be tweaked to read as follows:

#feedback div {
    background-color: #DFDFFF;
    border: 1px solid #4947BF;
    padding: 10px;
    }
#feedback.error div {
    background-color: #FFBFC8;
    border-color: #AF4C59;
    }
#feedback.success div {
    background-color: #CEFFBF;
    border-color: #64AF4C;
    }

And voila! IE6 gets it... finally!

Bridgend Web Design said...
12.08.2010 @ 04:01pm

Yet again, IE6's rendering engine forces us to use extra markup which affects all browsers - similar to the inner/outer element fix to the box model - but why increase the page weight for everyone?

IE7.js is loaded by only the targeted browser using an IE conditional comment and works to update IE's CSS selector support. It's forwards-compatible, because as newer versions of IE are released and IE6's market share dwindles to zero, it simply won't be loaded and perfectly lean and valid HTML and CSS will remain untouched.

05.05.2010 @ 02:37am

uhm, as you described and gave example in this post, I think in order to get IE6 to pay attention to the other #id.class rules, we must add another element inside your #feedback element that wraps it's containing markup and then tweak the CSS slightly. Bravo you as such creative ideas!

William said...
04.05.2010 @ 04:56am

Well it is indeed quiet useful trick as there are still many users who are using IE 6 & applying CSS correctly in it is quiet difficult. Thanks for this useful trick.

This was the very first American Dad episode. In the pilot, Steve runs for class president against the most popular girl in school, Lisa Silver. Stan helps Steve by using his CIA skills, and Steve even manages to win. But the job goes to his head, and he becomes mad with power. Now Stan must put an end to it. Meanwhile, Francine cuts Roger off from his snackage intake, and Hayley is too busy to go out with her boyfriend. So Roger agree's to do Hayley's homework...in trade for snacks. Things go well for a while, until Roger falls asleep instead of writing one of Hayley's papers. In a subplot, Klaus tries desperatly to win Francine over.

However, the additional markup to the page ... Sometimes people have child elements for semantics but do not know they can target those children style in IE6.

For example, the markup in the past, I used a similar style to the next for the anchors as buttons:

Button

... This is entirely semantic, and if someone wants to be neutral, positive and negative buttons, they would probably have added classes btn-positive/btn-negative anchor and style to share. But they could only target the strong brands and use different class voters instead.

This is a great trick. IE6 is really a pain to code for. Doing a number of tricks using CSS like the one above have helped making designing for different browsers slightly easier, but IE6 is still the worst.

Jenna said...
16.12.2009 @ 03:38pm

Si, you're living on another planet if you really believe that it is possible to create some of the amazing designs we see today without adding extra markup to achieve it. Sometimes extra markup is necessary and it can still be semantic (my example above probably wasn't the best).

However, extra markup aside... sometimes people already have child elements for semantic purposes but don't realise that they can target those children to style in IE6.

For example, in the past I've used markup similar to the following to style anchors like buttons:

<a href="#" class="btn"><strong>Button</strong></a>

... this is completely semantic and if someone wanted neutral, positive and negative buttons they'd probably have added btn-positive/btn-negative classes to the anchor and styled them separately. But, they could just target the strong tags and use multiple class selectors instead.

Benjamin Reid said...

Well #feedback.error won't work. Just do the id and class on different lines.

#feedback { }
.error { }

Then write the usual markup. Work for me.

Let me reiterate:

So it works to replace background-colors, but not background-images
