CSS Filters: Cross browser implementations
<p>CSS is a standard. A standard that has many versions. Browsers may or may not implement certain versions, or pieces of these standards, and this becomes the bane of our existence :)If you want a quick way to answer questions like:
- * html div: Will this work in the browsers I care about?
- body>div: How about child selectors?
- and many many more.

man that is GREAT! I love diffs tables. I’ve wanted one like this for a while, awesome.
Very cool ;o)
I relied on that table for a long time, but as far as I know it’s been superceded by the more complete one here:

The table includes a filtering option to show only the browsers you care about.

Just be careful, when using CSS hacks, to consider forward compatibility with IE7:

Francois isn’t the first person I’ve seen recommend the Dithered table as being more complete, but I just think it’s ugly & difficult to use. Anyway, I just checked, and there are several browsers (Safari 2, a handful of Opera versions, and the IE7 Beta) on the Centricle table that aren’t covered on Dithered.
So, I guess the bottom line is: use both.
