Dare I believe my eyes?

[Mr Initial Man]

Does IE 7+ indeed support [attribute] CSS selectors?

What I did was I had a page that had the following rule:


[lang]{color:red; font-style:italic;}
[lang="en"]{font-style:normal;}


To my COMPLETE surprise, when I checked it on Browsershots.org, IE 7 and 8 showed both q elements that HAD a lang attribute as BRIGHT RED! IE8 even showed quotation marks!

In most cases, it seems to. But, of course, IE6 doesn't support it at all. And since IE6 still has anywhere from 20-35% of the market (depending on where you get your stats), we still need to write code that will work in IE6.
