How to workaround: IE6 does not support CSS “attribute” selectors

Question

One of the projects which I am working uses CSS \"attribute\" selector [att]

CSS Selectors

which is not supported by ie6: Support for CSS selectors in IE6 (

Answer 1

Since IE6 is essentially limited to:

• class selectors
• ID selectors
• (space) descendant selectors
• a:-only pseudo-selectors

your only options are:

• Use more classes to identify your elements
• Use JavaScript (strongly not recommended except in highly specialized cases)

I find it very helpful to take advantage of the ability to assign multiple classes to an element by separating them with a space: class="foo bar"
