These are the conditions that must exist in order for the problem to occur: An HTML element must be using the deprecated bgcolor attribute. This will likely be a table, tr, or td element. The color must be specified using the hexadecimal short notation, i.e. #123 instead of #112233. Internet Explorer cannot read short-notation hexadecimal colors in this particular property. https://www.micah.soy/posts/css-attribute-selectors-and-ie-7/ Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:59:12 +0000 https://www.micah.soy/posts/css-attribute-selectors-and-ie-7/ If you’ve tried to use attribute selectors in IE 7 and found it to be quite spotty, you’re not alone. Here’s a brief illustration of just what I mean: tr[height="50%"] { background: #fff; } Though this bit of CSS will work in virtually any browser, it will not work in IE7. But these will: div[height="50%"] { background: #fff; } tr[height] { background: #fff; } Aside: It’s important to note that a DOCTYPE has to be specified in order for attribute selectors to work at all in IE7.
