Hide Things From IE with CSS

You can hide things from IE users by using pure CSS. This would come in handy for a little "Congrats! You aren't using IE" message.
Using this CSS:
Code: Select all
p.classname:before {
content: "Congrats! You aren't using IE!";
}
[code]
With this HTML:
[code]<p class="classname"> </p>[code]
IE doesn't support the CSS needed to make the content appear, so it just skips right over it. :biglaugh: If an IE user really wanted to know what the message says, he or she could just look at the stylesheet though.
This is IE for Windows that I'm talking about. I think IE for Mac supports it. :) You don't have to do just text either. You can put an image or anything like that in there if you want.
Note that you don't have to use paragraphs and you can use ":after" instead of ":before" if you want to. I just thought I would share this. :)

haha that's cool. Actually, if you go on my home page with IE, in the bottom it has a link to use a better browser. Try it!

Did that not too long ago. Figured it would be funny. Sadly, most people still use IE. Most of the log entries have IE as the user agent.

If I am not mistaken, Opera identifies itself as IE by default....
I can also make Mozilla do the same thing, but I forgot how. There's a neat add-on for Firebird, but I don't know if there's one for Mozilla.

Hmm did not know that about Opera. I knew about mozilla since there's a toolbar you can get for it. Had it once, lost it and never bothered putting it back, I did not use it that much.

You can in IE too. But it's not suppost to be a feature - it's in the registry somewhere, I remember seeing it.

but it is needed to be seen as what was downloaded by windows update so you can get the patches needed so going in to the registry and changing it is NOT a good idea
