CSS - Scrolling Glitch In Chrome

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I'm having to update a site I did a while ago, and am now quite out of practice, as I've done nothing since. I made the site before Chrome was released, and now, since I'm updating it, would like to make sure it displays properly in Chrome as well.

I have buttons for my top nav, that when you hover over them increase in size. The text on the button is not a part of the image. The text in question is "Contact Us" in FF and IE the text wraps after Contact, with the Us underneath it. In Chrome it stays on one line. If I decrease the size of my <div> by one pixel the text wraps in Chrome. I can't do that though as it shaves off one pixel of my button image.

I can't seem to find a site that will tell me what the difference is between Chrome IE and FF.

Here is my css and html for my nav if it helps.

attached is a pic of the difference. The red is to sho the navcontainer div. Notice the difference in the Contact Us button.

Thanks,

Brad

We've set up a CSS / Javascript dropdown menu which works fine in all browsers (even Opera, amazingly) EXCEPT Chrome- does anyone have an idea why? Is Chrome particularly bad with this sort of code?

The CSS for the menu is as follows:

.jqueryslidemenu{
font: bold 12px "Arial Unicode MS", Arial, sans-serif;
background: #6666cc;
width: 97%;
}

.jqueryslidemenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}

/*Top level list items*/
.jqueryslidemenu ul li{
position: relative;
display: inline;
float: left;
}

/*Top level menu link items style*/
.jqueryslidemenu ul li a{
display: block;
background: #6666cc; /*background of tabs (default state)*/
color: white;
padding: 9px 25px;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
color: #2d2b2b;
text-decoration: none;
border-left:0px;
}

* html .jqueryslidemenu ul li a{ /*IE6 hack to get sub menu links to behave correctly*/
display: inline-block;
}

.jqueryslidemenu ul li a:link, .jqueryslidemenu ul li a:visited{
color: white;
}

.jqueryslidemenu ul li a:hover{
background: #33cc66; /*tab link background during hover state*/
color: white;
}

/*1st sub level menu*/
.jqueryslidemenu ul li ul{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
display: block;
visibility: hidden;
}

/*Sub level menu list items (undo style from Top level List Items)*/
.jqueryslidemenu ul li ul li{
display: list-item;
float: none;
}

/*All subsequent sub menu levels vertical offset after 1st level sub menu */
.jqueryslidemenu ul li ul li ul{
top: 0;
}

/* Sub level menu links style */
.jqueryslidemenu ul li ul li a{
font: normal 12px "Arial Unicode MS", Arial, sans-serif;
width: 120px; /*width of sub menus*/
float:left;
padding: 10px 20px 10px;
margin: 0;
border-top-width: 0;
border-right: 0px solid #fff;
border-left: 0px solid #fff;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}

.jqueryslidemenuz ul li ul li a:hover{ /*sub menus hover style*/
background: #eff9ff;
color: black;
}


And it uses the following Javascript file:

var arrowimages={down:['downarrowclass', 'down.gif', 23], right:['rightarrowclass', 'right.gif']}

var jqueryslidemenu={

animateduration: {over: 200, out: 100}, //duration of slide in/ out animation, in milliseconds

buildmenu:function(menuid, arrowsvar){
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var $mainmenu=$("#"+menuid+">ul")
var $headers=$mainmenu.find("ul").parent()
$headers.each(function(i){
var $curobj=$(this)
var $subul=$(this).find('ul:eq(0)')
this._dimensions={w:this.offsetWidth, h:this.offsetHeight, subulw:$subul.outerWidth(), subulh:$subul.outerHeight()}
this.istopheader=$curobj.parents("ul").length==1? true : false
$subul.css({top:this.istopheader? this._dimensions.h+"px" : 0})
$curobj.children("a:eq(0)").css(this.istopheader? {paddingRight: arrowsvar.down[2]} : {}).append(
)
$curobj.hover(
function(e){
var $targetul=$(this).children("ul:eq(0)")
this._offsets={left:$(this).offset().left, top:$(this).offset().top}
var menuleft=this.istopheader? 0 : this._dimensions.w
menuleft=(this._offsets.left+menuleft+this._dimens ions.subulw>$(window).width())? (this.istopheader? -this._dimensions.subulw+this._dimensions.w : -this._dimensions.w) : menuleft
if ($targetul.queue().length<=1) //if 1 or less queued animations
$targetul.css({left:menuleft+"px", width:this._dimensions.subulw+'px'}).slideDown(jqu eryslidemenu.animateduration.over)
},
function(e){
var $targetul=$(this).children("ul:eq(0)")
$targetul.slideUp(jqueryslidemenu.animateduration. out)
}
) //end hover
}) //end $headers.each()
$mainmenu.find("ul").css({display:'none', visibility:'visible'})
}) //end document.ready
}
}

//build menu with ID="myslidemenu" on page:
jqueryslidemenu.buildmenu("myslidemenu", arrowimages)


And lastly, the menu is placed in pages as follows (example):

<div id="myslidemenu" class="jqueryslidemenu">
<ul>
<li class="mainmenu"><a href="index.htm">Home</a></li>
<li class="mainmenu"><a href="news.htm">News & Events</a></li>
<li class="mainmenu"><a href="products.htm">Products & Services</a>
<ul>
<li class="menu"><a href="#nogo">New Products</a>
<ul>
<li class="menu"><a href="clinaxysdetails.htm">Details</a></li>
<li class="menu"><a href="clinaxystrials.htm">Trials</a></li>
<li class="menu"><a href="clinaxyssafety.htm">Safety</a></li>
<li class="menu"><a href="instruments.htm">Instruments</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="menu"><a href="installation.htm">Installation</a></li>
<li class="menu"><a href="training.htm">Training</a></li>
<li class="menu"><a href="maintenance.htm">Maintenance</a></li>
<li class="menu"><a href="usergroup.htm">User Group</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="mainmenu"><a href="#nogo">Quality</a>
<ul>
<li class="menu"><a href="qualitypolicy.htm">Policy</a></li>
<li class="menu"><a href="qualitycert.htm">Certificate</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="mainmenu"><a href="customers.php">Customer Area</a></li>
<li class="mainmenu"><a href="contacts.htm">Contacts</a></li>
<li class="mainmenu"><a href="login.php">Log In</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: left" />
</div>


Works fine in everything we've tried, apart from Chrome...????

Okay this is kind of blowing my mind. Here is my CSS:

Code:

body
{
    margin: 0px;
    text-align: center;
}


table
{
    border-collapse: collapse;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;

}

td
{
    padding: 0px;
    vertical-align: top;
}

td.banner
{
    background-image: url("images/design/BANNER_TOP_LEFT.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 597px;
    height: 70px;
}

td.map
{
    background-image: url("images/design/MAP_BACKGROUND.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 203px;
    height: 199px;
}

td.content
{
    height: 100%;
    background: red;
}

here is my XHTML

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

        </script>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
    </head>
    <body>

<table width="800">
    <tr>
        <td class="banner">
            <div id="login">
                <p>
                Hello
                </p>
            </div>
        </td>
        <td rowspan="2" class="map">

        </td>
    </tr>
</table>


    </body>
</html>

Here is what it looks like in each brower (attached). I want every browser to look like it does in Chrome.... I don't understand why the others are different? Thanks... (haven't been at developing for a while).

I am a complete novice and have helped someone with their website. All fine in IE but the sub menus do not work in Chrome?

If you hover over Domestic Services (for example) in the main menu which runs down the left of my web site a sub menu appears to the right in IE (I have version 7) but not in Chrome (which I've just downloaded so I have the newest version). It all works just as I want it to do in IE7.

Is this a Chrome issue or more than likely I have done something wrong. Can anyone help me, sorry I have tried but I can't see what I've done wrong. Thanks for any help - Lindsay.

Here is my CSS

/* Menu properties */


#left-menu{
width:210px;
height:265px;
border-left:#474843 19px solid;
background-color:#171717;

}
#left-menu ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}
#left-menu ul li {

line-height:20px;
}
#left-menu ul li a{

font-size:12px;
font-weight:normal;
text-decoration:none;

Google's browser arrives Tuesday...anyone heard how the CSS support for this is?...Microsoft says that their new IE8 (now available in beta) is their most CSS compliant to date (for them, but that's not saying much)

Google's "Chrome" launches tomorrow...


Google's "Chrome" web browser

Hello everyone.

I am new to CSS and I have been trying to create a CSS layout composed of a 2x2 grid using DIVs. The top cells have fixed width and height, with the bottom ones having fixed width and variable height depending on the content. I achieved this with success as they look as intended in IE8 (don't have 9 available) and the latest versions of Firefox and Opera.

In Chrome (and Safari for that matter), sometimes it will render just fine or look one or two pixels out of place depending on the width of the browser window. Here is my code:

Code:

The lines shown are part of the background, as it was the easiest solution I came across with to make it look like the columns go all the way down to the bottom of the page.

So, I believe my issue lies on the DIVs and/or the centered background but I have no idea how to work around this.

Thanks in advance for your time and advice. Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for your time...

If you visit this site with IE7, http://demo.wp4re.com, you should see a big gap just beneath the main menu and the house photo and blue back gradient background. This looks fine in FF3 and Chrome, so you can see how it's meant to look with either browser.

Any idea what's causing this?

PS - The xhtml doesn't validate (2 errors), but it's it's not the issue as I already tried removing the culprits yet it didn't affect the gap. I've since put the code back in.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, ive got a problem that only seems to be happening in google chrome, if you look at

http://roksportsurf.co.uk/acatalog/Mens_Billabong_Tee_Shirts.html

the red circles with the price in are out of position on first load, but if I refresh the page they are in the correct position.

Ive tried IE and Firefox and they display fine there, even safari works ok.

any ideas what could be causing it?

Hi, i have just noticed a very strange cross browser issue. On several of my sites, i have applied simple css styling to my select boxes / drop down menus... some of this styling has been simply changing the color of the text in the drop down menu.

The styling is fine in IE7+, FF (PC), Opera (PC), Chrome (PC), FF (Mac), Safari (Mac), Opera (Mac) BUT NOT ON Chrome (Mac)

I can't understand how you can't apply simple css such as text color to Chrome on a Mac

Has anyone else noticed this or found a solution to this... thanks in advance for your help

I have a layout that seems to work in IE8, but throws Chrome for a loop. Something tells me that it working in IE8 is a bad sign...

In IE8 the bottom of the screen and the div have a space between them. In Chrome, they are butted up against each other, and the coloring between the footer (I think) and the bottom of the screen is blue (where it should be cream).

Have not tested in FF, I would assume the same issue.

Thanks ahead of time for the help,

Good morning,

I have a problem with a layer(div) that I am putting over my page everytime the user clicks a button and a transaction is send to the host. My problem is that if there is an scroll and the user scroll, the message scrolls up and dissapears. I need to fix it to the center of the screen. I have tried with % instead of absolute px. Can anyone help me, please?. I am close to my deadline, so any help would be really apreciated.

I am attaching my code:
window.onbeforeunload=new Function("Procesando.style.visibility='visible';");

window.onblur=new Function("Procesando.style.visibility='hidden';");
//window.onfocus=new Function("Procesando.style.visibility='hidden';");

document.write('<div style="position:absolute; top:160; left:313; visibility:hidden; overflow:hidden; background-color:#CCCCCC; clip:rect(12,177,50,3); " id="Procesando">\n'+

Hey guys!! I got a quick question. I have a CSS layout page with 2 scrollbars. The first one for a news section and the second for a product. I have a lot of content for both sections, The scrollbars work fine, but on the main IE the scrollbars keep adjusting to the content that I have. if i have less content then its small.....
I want to have no scrolling on my main window.
