How to handle evil IE
For developer IE is a nightmare. This is why, I use a method to disable my standard CSS and enable a IE only CSS. I use jQuery to accomplish that.
$(document).ready( function() { if ($.browser["msie"]) { // include the ie.js file $('head').append('<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ie.js"></scr' + 'ipt>'); } });
// Remove all CSS I don't want to use on IE $('link[rel=stylesheet]').each(function(i) { if (this.getAttribute('href') == '/css/layout.css') this.disabled = true; if (this.getAttribute('href') == '/css/shadows.css') this.disabled = true; if (this.getAttribute('href') == '/css/gen.css') this.disabled = true; }) ; // Append the CSS for IE only $('head').append('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/ie.css"/>'); // I also add a message on top of the page $('body').prepend('<div id="iemessage"><p><span class="fr"><em>Avec <a href="http://www.firefox.com"> Firefox </a> et <a href="http://www.apple.com/safari">Safari</a> cette page est bien plus jolie !</em></span><span class="en"><em>This page is far nicer with <a href="http://www.firefox.com"> Firefox </a> and <a href="http://www.apple.com/safari">Safari</a>!</em></span></p>.</div>');
That’s it.
