Documentation for JIRA 4.3. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

JIRA 4.3 and later adds classes to the HTML tag on page load. This means that you can now put all browser-specific CSS fixes in the main stylesheet near related styles. Having styles in one file increases maintainability, and reduces the number of requests — which helps pages load faster.

Prior to 4.3 you would put IE styles in the IE stylesheet and prefix with * or _ depending on the browser. In JIRA 4.3 and later you can use the following:

  • .msie (all versions of IE)
  • .msie-7 (just IE7)
  • .msie-8 (just IE8)
  • .msie-gt-7 (IE8 and IE9)
  • .msie-lt-8 (IE7, IE6, IE5.5, etc)
  • .mozilla (all versions of Firefox. There are no version-specific options like IE)
  • .webkit (all versions of Chrome/Safari. There are no version-specific options like IE)
  • .opera (note: not a supported browser)
  • No labels
