Combine CSS Attribute and Pseudo-Element Selectors?
http://jsfiddle.net/BC3Td/
I have tested this in firefox and opera and there are no issues, however chrome, safari and mobile safari all ignore the second pseudo element css and default to the first, can anyone shed light on what is happening here?
and how can this be achieved without adding classes/id's?
ANSWER:
This is a webkit bug, the fix is relatively simple, if you add the following css (or any css rule that involves purely the (non-pseudo) element then it will fix itself.
#test-div a[href*="tel"],
#test-div a[href*="mail"] { display:block; }
How weird?
updted (working) fiddle is here: http://jsfiddle.net/BC3Td/3/
Sounds like a bug in Webkit selection. The psudeo selector does work if the element is also selected directly however (an effective no op used here):

Why isn't it possible to combine vendor-specific pseudo-elements/classes into one rule set?
(2 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm styling an <input type="range" /> element.
For the track I'm using ::-moz-range-track for Firefox, and ::-webkit-slider-runnable-track for Chrome.
When I define the styles for Firefox, everything works fine, but when I add the Chrome-selector to the definition, it doesn't work in Firefox anymore.
Working in Firefox: https://jsfiddle.net/zr8p7vsy/
Not working in Firefox: https://jsfiddle.net/zr8p7vsy/1/
Having the same CSS styles twice – once with the Chrome selector, once with the Firefox selector – doesn't have this effect.
Why does the additional selector trigger this behavior in Firefox?
Edit: I noticed the second one also doesn't work in Chrome. When I remove the -moz- selector, it works. Also, when I add a non-browser-specific selector instead (e.g. .whatever) it works.
So it seems that multiple browser-specific selectors are crashing the whole styling block.
Why does it do that?
It's because ::-webkit-slider-runnable-track is not valid in Firefox.
This behavior is defined in the selectors level 3 standards
Warning: the equivalence is true in this example because all the
selectors are valid selectors. If just one of these selectors were
invalid, the entire group of selectors would be invalid. This would
invalidate the rule for all three heading elements, whereas in the
former case only one of the three individual heading rules would be
invalidated.
Because an invalid selector part - and since these are vendor extensions, they are not really valid - invalidates the whole rule.

Purpose of asterisk before a CSS property
(6 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I found these lines
width : 74.358974359%;
*width: 74.30578286963829%;
in style sheet but i can't understand what is the meaning of *width ???
i searched in Google but no result found.
thanks in advance
That's a CSS hack that targets Microsoft IE 7 only.IE7 will honor that CSS rule even though it is invalid due to the asterisk. All other browsers will ignore it. So by using the asterisk you can effectively target IE7 only. This is usually done to compensate for IE7 behaving badly and rendering content incorrectly and needing a special rule to correct it.
It is a syntax error. It's one of the IE hacks. Internet Explorer parses CSS in a slightly different way, allowing for certain hacks that will be ignored in other browsers. You can target different versions of IE with different hacks.
So in CSS, it makes the property name invalid and stops it being parsed.
Thanks to bugs in browsers, it is sometimes ignored. This effectively causes the property to apply only to browsers featuring that particular bug — IE7.
In general, it should be avoided in favour of conditional comments.

I downloaded CSS file for one of jQuery scripts and it look like this
.usual div {
*margin-top:-15px;
clear:left;
background:snow;
font:10pt Georgia;
}
what is the use of star sign?
This is a hack for IE7 and under. Only those browsers will respond to the CSS rule, as it's considered invalid to all other browsers.
It's a hack to, in this case, change positioning in certain versions of IE.
The CSS standard says to ignore properties whose names are preceded with some character, but some versions of Internet Explorer ignore this. Some you might see are:
*someproperty: somevalue - IE7 and earlier affected
_someproperty: somevalue - IE6 and earlier affected
#someproperty: somevalue - I forget. Probably the same effect as *.
You should probably use conditional comments instead, however.

Purpose of asterisk before a CSS property

I know what an asterisk does in a selector for CSS (What does an Asterisk do?), but what does it do in a property name? Here is an example of CSS used by YUI. I don't know what the *display does.
.yui-button .first-child
{
display:block;
*display:inline-block;
}
It is a syntax error. So in CSS, it makes the property name invalid and stops it being parsed.

It's an IE hack. The second declaration will be applied by IE7 and older (thus overriding the first declaration), while other browsers will ignore it and continue applying the first declaration instead.
Also, this is invalid CSS syntax.
its like the underscore for ie6. but for ie7
if you put the asterisk the property will only be used in ie7 and older browsers.
its an hack...

input,textarea,select{font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;font-weight:inherit;}
input,textarea,select{*font-size:100%;}
This is from the YUI reset css. What does the * before font-size:100% do?
This is an IE hack. The second line is only correctly parsed and executed by IE 7 and below. See http://www.webdevout.net/css-hacks#unrecommended-asterisk_prefix for more information.
Edit: One remark on using such (invalid!) CSS: please don't. There are plenty of ways of keeping your CSS clean of such mess. You'll never know what behavior IE9 might bring. Better to put these kind of hacks in a separate CSS file which can then be included through conditional comments.
To be more precise: IE6/7 doesn't support font-size: inherit. This hack is supposed to achieve the goal anyway.
I think it's a hack to make that definition only apply to IE 7 or less while being ignored by other browser as an asterisk is not a legal character before an attribute name.
As already told, those are hack to target specific browsers. Marc's suggestion is quiet right, and here's a link to give you an kick start:
