A way to exclude certain stylesheets...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can we have a way to exclude stylesheets from ie7's scope?

Good idea.

• Changed state: Accepted
• Added labels: Priority-High, Type-Enhancement
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium, Type-Defect

This will probably be enabled by inclusion of a CSS comment:

/* _IE7_IGNORE_ */

Any objections?

Nope! Probably the most unobtrusive way to do it.

However, will ie7-js just ignore everything after the comment or ignore an 
entire
document with the comment? If its the later, I think it'd be smarter to let 
ie7-js
read anything before the comment and anything after the comment is ignored. Its 
not
completely necessary, but its certainly a nice-to-have.

You're right. Ignoring everything after the comment is better.

What about:
/* START_IE7_IGNORE_ */
<link rel=stylesheet />
/* END_IE7_IGNORE_ */

Is this the same issue as ie7.js not respecting media queries such as 
media="only screen and (max-device-
width: 480px)"?

These may help, then again they may prove I'm an idiot.

With IE7-js IE5.5-7 will parse all the stylesheets (IE8 acts properly and 
ignores the last two); without IE7-js 
IE5.5-8 will parse only the first (screen) stylesheet, which is correct afaik.

Does anybody have a solution for this yet? I am running into problems with IE7 
and
dojo style sheets. The dojo styles work fine without the patch, loading the 
patch
breaks them. Unfortunately I can't live without either library!

If there is any way I can make IE7 skip parsing either specific css files or 
specific
nodes I would love to hear about it.

MAybe Im missing something here, but why not use conditional comments to 
exclude ie7?

thetoolman: Your link to msdn is broken, but I don't think it matters really. 
The
problem is not excluding IE7 (the browser) from parsing either the patch or some
styles, the problem is in getting IE7 (the patch) to not modify the css 
declarations
on some parts of documents. Conditional comments are no use for this because 
they
only stop the browser from processing or not processing a block of something. 
We want
the patch to parse some things but not others and there is no provision for 
that. You
will notice some of the suggestions above are for what are basically conditional
comments but targeted at IE7 (the patch).

Any updates with this one?

Also, does it really need to be as complex a string as that?
Why not something simpler, such as /* !IE7 */

This is necessity, I use ExtJS, it contains huge css files, so ie7-js takes a 
lot of
time to parse it, ie just hangs for a few seconds. I would love to exclude it 
somehow
from ie7-js parsing.

It been implemented?
Can be in two modes:
(how cited by drew.freyling with modf)
/*<IEonly>*/
 {...}
*/</IEonly>*/
Will processed ONLY if is IE (useful to CSSHacks)

Or can be "inline":
{...} /*IEonly*/
{...}
{...} /*IEonly*/

Bye.

@david.... english ? do you speak it ?

This feature would be awesome, currently I'm having issues with ie8.js and 
YUI's reset-fonts-grids

Any progress on this? It would extremely helpful!

I've tried the examples listed on this page to fix a problem with using the YUI
library with IE9.js, but none seem to work, is there an example I can copy, or 
has
the functionality not been implemented yet?

Thanks and regards

Andy.

Please explain how to use this? I have tried to do it, but it doesn't work at 
all.

That is of high importance and priority as the lack of it makes most of CSS 
frameworks and reset style sheets ineffective. Any "inherit" rules are ignored 
and break the design.

As proposed already, it should allow to exclude a range of declaration in, 
preferably, standard way, ie. by a comment. The simpler, the better:

border: none; /* ie7_ignorestart / font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; /_ ie7_ignore_end */ font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;

This should also allow to exclude the whole style sheet with an attribute to 
"link" element, eg.:

Hi ! 
What happened to this feature ? I need it on one of my company website because 
media queries are applied but without taken into account the specified rules
