selectivizr is a JavaScript utility that emulates CSS3 pseudo-classes and attribute selectors in Internet Explorer 6-8. It works alongside a supported DOM library such as jQuery, MooTools, or Prototype and is loaded via conditional comments only for legacy IE browsers.
Use cases
- support css3 selectors in internet explorer 6-8
- make :nth-child and other pseudo-classes work in old ie
- polyfill attribute selectors for legacy ie users
- apply modern css styling to ie6-ie8 without rewriting stylesheets
- gracefully degrade css for old browsers with a fallback stylesheet
When to choose
- you must support Internet Explorer 6-8 and want CSS3 selector support
- your project already uses jQuery, MooTools, Prototype, Dojo, YUI, DOMAssistant, or NWMatcher
When to avoid
- you only target modern browsers with native CSS3 support
- you don't use any of the supported JavaScript DOM libraries
- you need a maintained solution - the project has had no releases since 2017
