CSS Browser-Specific Hacks

What is this?

Browser hacks is an extensive list of browser specific CSS hacks from all over the inter-webs. CSS hacks are needed in order to solve problems caused by different browsers rendering.

How to?

Pick the hack you want. Copy it into your stylesheet. Add the style you want between the braces. Enjoy the new styles for the browser you targeted!

Reminder!

Please keep in mind using a hack is not always the perfect solution. It can be useful to fix some weird browser specific bug, but in most cases you should fix your CSS.
