Use browser switch for Firefox
A browser switch is always necessary if you want to intercept different display options in the individual web browser variants. So you can use it for Firefox.
The point of browser switches
There are now many different web browsers on the market. In parallel with the web browser, standards are being developed that show how content is stored in the Internet should be developed in terms of programming. Unfortunately, some browsers don't consistently support this.
- If you're a developer, you'll know the problem: Internet pages look different in different web browser versions. This was particularly dramatic for a while with different versions of Internet Explorer (in contrast to Firefox, which is often very exemplary).
- A browser switch ensures that when the page is called up it is first recognized which web browser is being used. Then a cut part is loaded and the incompatible elements are hidden, so to speak.
- A browser switch can be implemented on several technical levels, including with CSS, whereby script languages such as PHP are much better suited here. For Firefox this is described in the following section.
A switch for Firefox
Firefox mostly supports many standards very accurately. A browser switch, which ensures that content in Firefox looks different, can be implemented using certain CSS elements.
Use IE versions in parallel - this is how it works
As a developer of websites, you know the problem that everyone ...
- There is a pseudo-class in CSS3 called "root". Various browsers use these consistently, including Firefox. If users call up such a page with Internet Explorer, "root elements" are not used - that is, depending on the web browser version, one "deviates" - a browser switch.
- Therefore define e.g. B. a DIV by calling it {color: blue; } describe. Now add ": root div {color: green; } ", and div elements in Firefox are displayed in green.
- You can use other elements in this sense. You can find a very good list of supported CSS elements at lipfert-maliks-page.
