cssQuery returns DOM nodes when given a CSS selector.

What are you trying to do, specifically?

The CSS File works perfectly in Firefox & IE7 but than when my boss opened it in IE6 it was FLAWED.

I'm NOT a designer at all and frankly my skills in graphics and "pretty-ness for websites" is limited at best. Thus, I have ABSOLUTELY no clue how to fix it... I was hoping for a javascript way to render the CSS via that to make it work cross-browser.

But will that work for IE6? IE7 is fine.

IE7 is a tool to make IE6 standards compatible. Try it.

Sounds exactly like what i need thanks, sorry about that, guess I just didn't understand the describtion. Seen IE7 and I guess I assumed IE7-2-Standards Compatable not IE6.

Just so that way Kieran gets the credit.
Kieran Huggins wrote:Dean's most famous project is IE7 (named before the browser as planned, let alone released). The function of IE7 was/is to hack IE5/6 into CSS compatibility by way of Javascript. It's quite good, and sounds like what you're looking for.

So IE7 (project, not browser) was the catalyst that drove the development of the previously mentioned two functions, the first of which formed the base of jQuery.

Not totally your fault - the project name made complete sense when there weren't even plans for an IE7. In hindsight, not so much.

This is mainly why I thought it was for IE7:
IE7 is a JavaScript library to make IE behave like a standards-compliant browser. It fixes many CSS issues and makes transparent PNG work correctly under IE5 and IE6
I thought it made IE7 have BETTER css support and fix PNG in IE 5 and 6 but not CSS.


lol, I can't believe I'm actually trying to justify myself.
