Design suggestion for cross browser compitablity

[kirmorozov]

It's definitely bad idea.
All browsers have their specific css(ex: mos for firefox).
Please fix your css instead of making mess.

@kirmorozov yeah u r right browser have their specific css properties,

but its idea for common properties some Wordpress sites use same trick.

What stops you from adding this class using JavaScript. It won't affect performance much and it wont affect server performance at all.
@jigneshthummar IMHO this is the way to fix some bug with own css.

P.S. Probably you didn't heard of http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/

i have used https://github.com/rafaelp/css_browser_selector for this since some time now.
So either you dont care about this, and give a note in manual to this library or add this as standard library (what sure has its benefits)

And if we talk about this, http://modernizr.com/ belongs in the same area, than many things are depending on a feature, not on a browser.

In any case, its a theming question. Maybe its the best to have a more simple js-less main theme, and an additional "perfect" theme which makes havy use of js.

Thank you for suggestion. We'll not implement it though -- as @kirmorozov and @Flyingmana pointed out, there are more effective solutions are possible without affecting server performance.

Ok thanks @Flyingmana @kirmorozov for their valuable suggestions :)
