:after and :before css pseudo elements hack for IE 7

Question

I am using :after and :before css pseudo elements and it is working fine in IE8, and all modern browsers but it is not working fine in IE7. Are there known hacks to work around this in IE7?

Answer 1

with any pure CSS hack it's not possible.

Use IE8.js http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/

It has support for this. http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/test/index.html

test page also there

after - http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/test/after.html

before - http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/test/before.html

Edit after 1st comment

You can just keep this js for IE6 and 7. other browser will not read it.

<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta4)/IE8.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

And if you are already using jQuery in your project than you can use this plugin
