I'm not sure if I like the fact that Safari decides to ignore the :empty part of the p:empty . Sure it might be just a matter of time till it gets fixed but then there's still old versions out there. It's one of the cool features that I feel could be really sweet in 5 years but for now I feel it's just too risky to use if Safari is going to make your page hidden :) oh the joys of getting things validated...

Thanks for the breakdown on how the selector is applied in different browsers. Yes, hopefully both Safari and Opera will be improving their support for this selector in upcoming versions.

But the <code>empty</code> selector is included in CSS3, so it should be only a matter of time before this method will work in Safari. Not for Safari 4 and below.

Future versions should have this fixed (at least, I hope so). Yes, Safari 4 and earlier will hide all paragraph elements with that selector applied.

FF 3 has full support, but FF 2 and lower is buggy: <ul> <li>The selector <code>body:empty</code> always matches the body element.</li> <li>The selector continues to match an element even after content has been added dynamically.</li> </ul> And (this was strange to me) Opera have no support at all.

FF 3 has full support, but FF 2 and lower is buggy:

  • The selector body:empty always matches the body element.
  • The selector continues to match an element even after content has been added dynamically.

And (this was strange to me) Opera have no support at all.
