About this tool.
The Browser Specific CSS plugin is a tool that allows developers to easily target different browsers straight from the stylesheet. Browser Specific CSS adds a short javascript to the head of your page that enables you to use browser specific css selectors. For example, targeting Internet Explorer 7 from your stylesheet is just a matter of defining styles with a “.ie7” selector. Every major browser is supported including code for targeting Macs, PCs, and Linux operating systems.

Browser Specific CSS links to a javascript that enables you to target specific different browser and operating systems using simple css selectors.
What is a CSS Selector?”
A CSS Selector is a basic stylesheet concept. If you don’t understand CSS this plugin probably isn’t for you.
Does this plugin work if a visitor has javascript disabled?”
