How to test for nth-child using Modernizr? - css

I'm trying to use modernizr to test for :nth-child browser support but I'm not sure how to do it, I found this one http://jsfiddle.net/laustdeleuran/3rEVe/ which tests for :last-child but I don't know how to change it to detect :nth-child (I was also thinking about using it like that since I believe that browsers that don't support :last-child don't support :nth-child either but I'm not sure)
Can you guys help me? Thanks in advance!

I just wrote a function to detect the :nth-child support for you
function isNthChildSupported(){
var result = false,
test = document.createElement('ul'),
style = document.createElement('style');
test.setAttribute('id', 'nth-child-test');
style.setAttribute('type', 'text/css');
style.setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
style.setAttribute('id', 'nth-child-test-style');
style.innerHTML = "#nth-child-test li:nth-child(even){height:10px;}";
for(var i=0; i<3; i++){
test.appendChild(document.createElement('li'));
}
document.body.appendChild(test);
document.head.appendChild(style);
if(document.getElementById('nth-child-test').getElementsByTagName('li')[1].offsetHeight == 10) {result = true;}
document.body.removeChild(document.getElementById('nth-child-test'));
document.head.removeChild(document.getElementById('nth-child-test-style'));
return result;
}
Usage:
isNthChildSupported() ? console.log('yes nth child is supported') : console.log('no nth child is NOT supported');
You can see this works in action here

Also There is a difference between jQuery :nth-child and CSS :nth-child.
jQuery :nth-child is supported in any browser jQuery supports but CSS :nth-child is supported in IE9, Chrome, Safari and Firefox

I remember there was a Modernizr selectors plugin that tested for selectors support, but I can't find it right now. You can take a look at this: http://javascript.nwbox.com/CSSSupport/ which is similar.

You can also use Selectivizr to add CSS3 selector support to unsupported browsers

Mohsen, thank you for your decision.
If someone needs to jQuery:
function test(){
var result = false,
test = $('<ul id="nth-child-test"><li/><li/><li/></ul>').appendTo($('body')),
style = $('<style type="text/css">#nth-child-test li:nth-child(even){height:10px;}</style>').appendTo($('head'));
if(test.children('li').eq(1).height() == 10)
result = true;
test.remove();
style.remove();
return result;
};

how to make case insensivity for css selectors [duplicate]

If I have an HTML element <input type="submit" value="Search" /> a css selector needs to be case-sensitive:
input[value='Search'] matches
input[value='search'] does not match
I need a solution where the case-insensitive approach works too. I am using Selenium 2 and Jquery, so answers for both are welcome.
CSS4 (CSS Selector Level 4) adds support for it:
input[value='search' i]
It's the "i" at the end which does the trick.
Broader adoption started mid-2016: Chrome (since v49), Firefox (from v47?), Opera and some others have it. IE not and Edge since it uses Blink. See “Can I use”...
It now exists in CSS4, see this answer.
Otherwise, for jQuery, you can use...
$(':input[name]').filter(function() {
return this.value.toLowerCase() == 'search';
});
jsFiddle.
You could also make a custom selector...
$.expr[':'].valueCaseInsensitive = function(node, stackIndex, properties){
return node.value.toLowerCase() == properties[3];
};
var searchInputs = $(':input:valueCaseInsensitive("Search")');
jsFiddle.
The custom selector is a bit of overkill if doing this once, but if you need to use it many times in your application, it may be a good idea.
Update
Is it possible to have that kind of custom selector for any attribute?
Sure, check out the following example. It's a little convoluted (syntax such as :input[value:toLowerCase="search"] may have been more intuitive), but it works :)
$.expr[':'].attrCaseInsensitive = function(node, stackIndex, properties){
var args = properties[3].split(',').map(function(arg) {
return arg.replace(/^\s*["']|["']\s*$/g, '');
});
return $(node).attr(args[0]).toLowerCase() == args[1];
};
var searchInputs = $('input:attrCaseInsensitive(value, "search")');
jsFiddle.
You could probably use eval() to make that string an array, but I find doing it this way more comfortable (and you won't accidentally execute any code you place in your selector).
Instead, I am splitting the string on , delimiter, and then stripping whitespace, ' and " either side of each array member. Note that a , inside a quote won't be treated literally. There is no reason one should be required literally, but you could always code against this possibility. I'll leave that up to you. :)
I don't think map() has the best browser support, so you can explictly iterate over the args array or augment the Array object.
input[value='Search'] matches
input[value='search' i] Also matches in latest browsers
Support:
version : Chrome >= 49.0, Firefox (Gecko) >= 47.0, Safari >= 9
You can't do it with selectors alone, try:
$('input').filter(function() {
return $(this).attr('value').toLowerCase() == 'search';
});

Modifying jQuery selector for cross browser grayscale filter

Looking to use this cross browser grayscale filter and had it working on all images, but I want to restrict the effect to the images within a single div.
In function.js I changed all instances of the selector from grayscale($('img'));
to grayscale($('#grayscale-div img')); and did so in all instances. It's adding the CSS class, but in IE11 the effect doesn't work anymore.
I'm trying to see if this is a mistake I'm making with the jQuery selector. Thanks for in advance for pointing me in the right direction.
Code Excerpt:
if (getInternetExplorerVersion() >= 10){
$('#grayscale-div img').each(function(){
var el = $(this);
el.css({"position":"absolute"}).wrap("<div class='img_wrapper' style='display: inline-block'>").clone().addClass('img_grayscale').css({"position":"absolute","z-index":"5","opacity":"0"}).insertBefore(el).queue(function(){
var el = $(this);
el.parent().css({"width":this.width,"height":this.height});
el.dequeue();
});
this.src = grayscaleIE10(this.src);
});
// Quick animation on IE10+
$('#grayscale-div img').hover(
function () {
$(this).parent().find('img:first').stop().animate({opacity:1}, 200);
},
function () {
$('.img_grayscale').stop().animate({opacity:0}, 200);
}
);
The getInternetExplorerVersion() conditional check is failing in IE11. The following change:
if(getInternetExplorerVersion() >= 10 || !!window.MSInputMethodContext)
will fix it in the code shown above. Here are some unrelated questions which explain the problem and the solution:

CSS: What does "input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-decoration" do?

I wonder what the the part ::-webkit-search-decoration do in the CSS selector for input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-decoration?
And why is this causing en DOM Exception error?
function is(selector, element) {
var div = document.createElement("div"),
matchesSelector = div.webkitMatchesSelector;
return typeof selector == "string" ? matchesSelector.call(element, selector) : selector === element;
}
is('input[type="search"]::-webkit-search-decoration', document.body);
It allows you to make search boxes look uniform across multiple browsers. Chrome for instance has default styling for search boxes that does not fit into some designs.
here is a good link on the topic.
http://geek.michaelgrace.org/2011/06/webkit-search-input-styling/
It just makes your search box little bit styled.As it is one of the property for css3 then it will not work on every browser.

CSS3: set background image to rel attribute value

I'm looking to set the background-image (or even render an image via the pseudo elements :after or :before) to the value, which will be a URL, of a rel attribute, but only in certain cases (this is a cloud file listing). For example:
HTML:
<div class="icon ${fileExtension}" rel="${fileURL}"></div>
It would be great if I could do something like this:
CSS:
.icon.png,
.icon.jpg,
.icon.jpeg,
.icon.bmp,
.icon.gif { background-image: attr(rel,url); }
... but obviously that doesn't work as, if I'm not mistaken, the attr() CSS function only works inside pseudo element blocks.
I know there are ways of doing this using conditional JSP or even jQuery logic, but I'd like to figure out a neat way of doing it via CSS3, since I'm only concerned with modern browsers at the moment anyway.
Also, I don't want to explicitly set the background image to the URL or create an <img> element, because by default if the file is not a supported image, I'd rather display a predetermined set of icons.
Using
.icon:after{ content: ""attr(rel)""; }
displays the rel value as text.
A jQuery solution is to add the background-image (taken from the rel value) as inline CSS:
jQuery(function($) {
$('.icon').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
$this.css('background-image', 'url(' + $this.attr('rel') + ')');
});
});
I've tried to do something using jQuery but i don't exactly understand what you want so i can't go on with my code. So far i've done only this.
EDITED I hope it's exactly what you need
$(function(){
var terms = new Array('png','jpg','jpeg','bmp','gif');
$('.icon').each(function(){
var t = $(this),
rel = t.attr('rel'),
cls = t.attr('class');
cls = cls.split(' ');
for (var i=0; i < terms.length; i++) {
if (terms[i] == cls[1]) {
t.css('background-image','url('+rel+')');
}
}
});
});
if you can give me a better example, to undestand exactly what you want, i hope somebody from here will be able to solve your problem.
Regards,
Stefan
I've decided to go the jQuery route, and used a combination of #ryanve and #stefanz answers. Thanks guys
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".png,.jpg,.jpeg,.bmp,.gif,.tiff").each(function(n) {
var bg = 'url(' + $(this).attr("rel") + ')';
$(this).css('background-image', bg);
});
});
I think this is relatively neat/concise and works well for my needs. Feel free to comment on efficiency, methodology, etc.

css not class select?

Theres a mistake in my rather large demo where i assume all the divs under the class special will be used to align something. Now i realize i need to add an extra div outside of the part i want to align but inside of .special.
How do i write .special div[NOT someclass] ? or is there no way to do this and i need to rewrite a lot of html?
CSS3 includes the not() selector. The only problem is (you guessed it) no IE compatibility. If you're willing to require Javascript from IE <9 users, you can get IE compatibility with IE9.js.
+1 to both answers above.
I'll add i was able to get away with some things but writing this in the css block to undo the effect
some-type: inherit;
I would go with jQuery or some other Javascript Framework, the selectors just rock and NOT class XY is rather easy to achieve.
As Pekka pointed out I am not sure what brothers you want to target. getElementsByClassName() is implemented by almost all browsers (you know which one doesn't work, don't you?).
I found a rather nifty solution on devshed to also make it work in IE:
onload=function(){
if (document.getElementsByClassName == undefined) {
document.getElementsByClassName = function(className)
{
var hasClassName = new RegExp("(?:^|\\s)" + className + "(?:$|\\s)");
var allElements = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
var results = [];
var element;
for (var i = 0; (element = allElements[i]) != null; i++) {
var elementClass = element.className;
if (elementClass && elementClass.indexOf(className) != -1 && hasClassName.test(elementClass))
results.push(element);
}
return results;
}
}
}
All you need to do now is to iterate through all your div classes and negate the one you DON'T want.
