specific css for different versions of Chrome

[typo_78]

according to this article, I can use the following css rule in order to specify different code for different versions of Chrome browsers.

.chromexx – Chrome xx (change xx with number of specific version) new

At this point, I was wondering, is this a bad approach?

/* working in Chrome including v45 */
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { 
    .logotext-n {
      color: #f1ecd6;    
      font-family: 'timesbi';
      font-weight: normal;
      font-size: 180px;
      text-transform: lowercase;
      letter-spacing: -15.5px;
      .chrome45.margin-left: -10px; /* update for Chrome 45 issue */
          } 
}

or should I create another css property like this:

/* working in Chrome v45 */
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { 
  .chrome45.logotext-n {
  color: #f1ecd6;
  font-family: 'timesbi';
  font-weight: normal;
  font-size: 180px;
  text-transform: lowercase;
  letter-spacing: -15.5px;
  margin-left: -10px; /* update for Chrome 45 issue */
      } 
}

/* working in Chrome before v45 */
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) { 
  logotext-n {
  color: #f1ecd6;
  font-family: 'timesbi';
  font-weight: normal;
  font-size: 180px;
  text-transform: lowercase;
  letter-spacing: -15.5px;
      } 
}

In both examples, the code is working and I prefere the first version in order to avoid making another set of css but is that a good approach of using this css rule? Thanks

One thing is for sure, unfortunately, Chrome v45 have some issues when it comes to WordPress (I’ve read these days different stories). It could be a bug although I’ve not received a confirmation yet.

In other words, I didn’t find what cause the problem but I am trying to manage the situation in order to keep the elements together, like it whould be, using preferential css’s. I know that this is not the best solution, the best will be a new updated Chrome version :) until then, it will great to find the best approach to solve this (code version 1, 2 or …)

Update: I’ve tried the above codes (my bad) on an earlier version of Chrome (v43) and I thought that it’s a good idea to implement a specific hack only for v45 the version that produce the issue described here; Unfortunately, none of the above described in the first post will not work in v45 …

Thank you but I’m zero in js and coding in general; I’m just trying to put things together and somethimes are working :P nyway. I’ll have a look.

Thank you very much.
So, as far as I understand, in the end will be:

function getChromeVersion () {     
    var element = document.querySelectorAll(.logotext-n)[0];

if (getChromeVersion() == 45) element.style.marginLeft = -10 + 'px'
}

saved as .js file?
Is there any possibility to define multiple selectors (.logotext-n, .logotext-e, .logotext-u…, .logotext-d)?

oh sorry, I didn’t see your codepen :) Thanks, I’ll try that.

LE: I don’t think that a common class is a good idea, because we have different property values there :)

For example .logotext-n {letter-spacing: -15.5px;}, .logotext-e {letter-spacing: -13.2px;} and so on …

[typo_78]

In this particular case, letter-spacing: value is variable on every classes; On the other hand, in older versions of Chrome (except the last stable v45) the logotext css works fine without margin-left: -10px; if that was the question.

Why reinvent the wheel?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/chrome-admin-menu-fix/

[typo_78]

@Senff because the plugin fix the wp admin menu problem in v45 (I just tried that solution) not the described issue :)

@Shikkediel, thank you for your effort, I’ll try that

My mistake, I was under the impression that was what you were trying to fix!

@Shikkediel I don’t thik that I understand clearly how can I convert this http://codepen.io/anon/pen/KdVMag to this http://codepen.io/anon/pen/dYYyGa; Could you be so kind and show me on my codepen example please? Thanks.

(I’ve tried this code http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ojbLZP but I can’t see how can I implement your solution);

[typo_78]

I really appreciate it, I’ll try that and come back with a feed-back.

important update:

A New Version (45.0.2454.93 m) of Chrome was released; the good news is that the above described bug was fixed :)

Thank you anyway @Shikkediel for your support, your workaround will be usefull in other conditions for sure.
Kind regards,
