Requirements

Capability testing flags that can be used for better targeting content and UI to the browser.

CSS Classes

Like Modernizr, Treesaver adds CSS classes onto the <html> element. For example, if the browser supports @font-face syntax, but does not support the canvas element, the document root will have the following class attribute:

  <html class="fontface no-canvas">

You can use this in order to target CSS based on browser capabilities:

  .fontface h1 {
    font-family: "My Custom Font";
  }

  .no-fontface h1 {
    font-family: Arial;
  }
