After

adds support to ie6 & 7 to the :before and :after pseudo selectors with no dependencies or special syntax

Getting Started

Download the production version or the development version.

In your web page:

<!--[if lt IE 8]><script type="tex/javascript" src="after.min.js"></script><![endif]-->

Documentation

after.js checks if :after is unsupported in the current browser, and if so, it appends a span to every element with a :before or :after css rule, styling it appropriately.

Build Dependencies

• node.js
• npm
• phantomjs (only for running qunit tests as part of the build process)
• 'grunt', 'requirejs' and 'grunt-requirejs-tasks' npm packages. You can install these simply by navigating to the project root folder and typing:

npm install

Build

to rebuild the file from source, navigate to the project root in terminal and run

grunt requirejs-concat

this will appropriately combine the source code in /src and create a concatinated and minified version in /dist

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.

Important notes

Please don't edit files in the dist subdirectory as they are generated via grunt. You'll find source code in the src subdirectory!

While grunt can run the included unit tests via PhantomJS, this shouldn't be considered a substitute for the real thing. Please be sure to test the test/*.html unit test file(s) in actual browsers.

Installing grunt

This assumes you have node.js and npm installed already.

1. Test that grunt is installed globally by running grunt --version at the command-line.
2. If grunt isn't installed globally, run npm install -g grunt to install the latest version. You may need to run sudo npm install -g grunt.
3. From the root directory of this project, run npm install to install the project's dependencies.

Installing PhantomJS

In order for the qunit task to work properly, PhantomJS must be installed and in the system PATH (if you can run "phantomjs" at the command line, this task should work).

Unfortunately, PhantomJS cannot be installed automatically via npm or grunt, so you need to install it yourself. There are a number of ways to install PhantomJS.

• PhantomJS and Mac OS X
• PhantomJS Installation (PhantomJS wiki)

Note that the phantomjs executable needs to be in the system PATH for grunt to see it.
