How to write a CSS hack for IE 11? [duplicate]

by

Use a combination of Microsoft specific CSS rules to filter IE11:

<!doctype html>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>IE10/11 Media Query Test</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <style>
    @media all and (-ms-high-contrast:none)
     {
     .foo { color: green } /* IE10 */
     *::-ms-backdrop, .foo { color: red } /* IE11 */
     }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
  <div class="foo">Hi There!!!</div>
 </body>
</html>

Filters such as this work because of the following:

When a user agent cannot parse the selector (i.e., it is not valid CSS 2.1), it must ignore the selector and the following declaration block (if any) as well. 

<!doctype html>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>IE10/11 Media Query Test</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <style>
    @media all and (-ms-high-contrast:none)
     {
     .foo { color: green } /* IE10 */
     *::-ms-backdrop, .foo { color: red } /* IE11 */
     }
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
  <div class="foo">Hi There!!!</div>
 </body>
</html>
