[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBPORTAL-1631) Allow different stylesheets for different user-agents

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1631?page=comments#action_1237... ] Thomas Heute commented on JBPORTAL-1631: ---------------------------------------- a) anything in the header can be false, but what the point ? This is not a security issue. You can also lie to the IE conditional comments. b) no, i am not necessarly talking about a simple mapping, but regular expressions, and default to some stylesheet anyway. "CSS should be written according to the W3 CSS specifications;" it reminds me an idea of julien to write this standard CSS and create a compiler for different browser but that's a big project as a whole :) (any contributor interested ?) "isn't IE's conditional comment system an example of targeting CSS to a specific user agent? " You read in my mind :) Again, the idea is to allow rules like: If (user-agent is IE <5.5) use CSS a If (user-agent is IE = 6) use CSS b If (user-agent is another version of IE) use CSS c If (user-agent is opera on a wii) use CSS d otherwise use CSS e That said, this is not done, but really i think it's the cleaner way. Who knows what Microsoft will decide for IE8 maybe they will stop supporting conditional comments. I also hate IE ;) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
