CSS - W3 Valid Google Chrome Hack?

If you go to the example site: devbum.com/coded/audven/

The top navigation seems to be pushed upwards in Windows Safari and Google Chrome and not centered like in FF, IE6, IE7, and Opera. I'm not sure why it's doing this though... does it also render differently on Mac Safari?

when reading an identifier in CSS IE will treat two dots in a class decleration as one:

accepted rules (strict mode):
Code:

win ie 5.01: p..class, p./**/.class
win ie 5.5 : p..class
win ie 6   : p..class, p./**/.class, p./**/class, p/**/.class
win ff 1.5 : p./**/class, p/**/.class (comments ignored)
win opera  : (as firefox)
win ns 7.0 : none!

Hi Guys

I am struggling to resolve a small issue i am having. I am using a mac, and am working on a contact form for a website.

I am using the latest mac OS and latest versions of all browsers.

The following link is fine in firefox, however, in Safari and google chrome, the 'Message' text area has a big gap above it and I do not know how to get rid of this.

Here is the code for the form...

<form id="form" name="frmQuote" class="contactForm" method="post" action="process.php" onsubmit="return validate_form(this);" >


<ul>
<li>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input name="name" id="name" type="text" class="required" />
</li>




<li>
<label for="email">E-mail:</label>
<input name="email" id="email" type="text" class="required email" />
</il>


<li>
<label for="subject">Subject:</label>
<input name="subject" id="subject" type="text" class="required" />
</li>

<li>
<label for="detail">Message:</label>
<textarea name="detail" id="detail" rows="6" cols="60" class="required"></textarea>
</li>


<li>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="100" class="submitBtn" />
</li></ul>

</form>

Here is the css for that page...

#content_about {

hi,

i just made a footer the other day and had to realize (at work today) that it is not quite there in IE where it is in FF.
it seems to have to do with another element on the page (the navigation) - you will see what i mean by viewing the following page in IE:
http://www.chocolateriewanders.com

could you just tell me which one of the endless hacks for IE i need to apply - or how you call this alignment problem (then i can look it up in google myself ... i just need to know how you call this)
thanks

Hi all,

I need some help. I know I need an IE hack to make my drop down menu on the header of this page work correctly (hover over 'pictures', 'rides', or 'maps') but for the life of me I can't seem to find what that workaround (hack) is. Please help! Oh yeah, of course, it work perfectly fine in Firefox.

Here's a copy of the 2 CSS files I am using for this page...

main2.css
header.css

And yeah, I am still working on the header, that's why it looks kinda empty right now. =)

Yeah, we all know IE sucks because we have to do all types of extra css to make it work.

I just did a design update on my site. I did my usual, worked the design with Chrome and Firefox. I got it all working with those browsers, and them I just opened IE 7 so see how much more work I need to do for IE.

Well to my surprise, everything was correct. I checked IE 8. Same thing. It all looked correct.

Now, I may have had a stroke and didn't know. So I'm asking if someone can look at my site with there IE 7 or 8 and confirm that looks alright.

I just don't believe that I could have coded it that perfect. From my experience it just not possible.


Sorry about the URL hack, but I came to this forum for css support and it's kinda hard to get css suport if we can't post URL's to show our css at work.

Hello all,

I'm really interested in hearing the opinions of those more seasoned in web development. I have been working hard at learning CSS and believe I have really improved my web design skills because of it. I love working with CSS and have completely freed myself from tables.

But... I am so tired of playing for hours with the coding just so my page looks okay in both IE and FF. I'd much rather my page look great in FF (my prefered browser) and to heck with IE.

I have made my stand and will no longer design my personal pages for IE. I have a clear message on one of them telling my visitors to wise up and download FF. Of course my audience allows me to get away with this.

I realise that if your visitors are average surfers who barely know how to do a search on google, they aren't about to deviate from IE. But for those audiences who have a little more internet experience, do you think it's cool to try and push them into using FF? In terms of usage it's clearly on the rise, IE has been steadily declining. I'd really like to see IE hit bottom.

The way I see it, as long us the development community continues to jump through hoops so people can keep using IE or other inferior browsers, there will be little motivation to develop some solid web browser standards.

Any thoughts?

When the :not pseudoclass is used with an element selector in Firefox, it works as expected, excluding the selector inside the parentheses. But used by itself or attached to the * selector, it applies the rule to ALL elements. This unexpected behavior can be exploited to write Mozilla-specific patches to your CSS code. example: html4strict Code:
Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Testing :not Hack</title> <style type="text/css"> :not([id]) p { font-weight: bold; } </style> </head> <body id="thisthing"> <p>This is a test.</p> <p id="test">This is a test.</p> <div>This is a test.</div> </body> </html>

  

 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


 <html>


 <head>


 <title>Testing :not Hack</title>


 <style type="text/css">


  :not([id]) p  {


  font-weight: bold;


 }


 </style>


 </head>


 <body id="thisthing">


 <p>This is a test.</p>


 <p id="test">This is a test.</p>


 <div>This is a test.</div>


 </body>


 </html> 

The idea is to set the ID of the parent and browsers which correctly interpret this selector will not apply the rule to anything; also those browsers which don't already support it will simply ignore it. The :not selector is part of the new CSS3 recommendation. Here's just the css code for the hack: css Code:
Original - css Code :not([id]) example { /* Moz/FF/Netscape code here */ }

  

 :not([id]) example {


  /* Moz/FF/Netscape code here */


 } 

If you are having problems with Son of Suckerfish and IE7, where the drop down menu will not disappear like it should. Take out the javascript because you do not need it with IE7, but if you still want IE6 to work then put it in.

For IE7, you need to add


Code:

*:first-child+html #nav {
height: 1%;
}
*:first-child+html #nav li {
height: 1%;
} 

to your css and you will be fine. Don't ask me why, Don't ask how, i just chalk it up to just IE

Hello,

Is there a hack for Safari 3.
I found this hack :
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0)
{
#safari { display: block; }
}
The problem with this hack is that he is valid for all verison of Safari.
My need is a hack only for Safari 3.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm trying to apply the min-height hack for IE shown here http://www.greywyvern.com/code/min-height-hack.html

It entails floating a 1 pixel wide box, then put your content below, then clear the float. It seems to work fine, but something in my layout is screwing this up royally on IE. Can someone take a look at this on IE and compare it to firefox. What in the world is IE doing here?

http://section31.us/temp/rateyourmo...min-height.html

That layout is just part of a larger website that i'm working on for fun.
http://section31.us/temp/rateyourmovie.com/index1.php

I read about a cross browser min-width hack he
http://www.hackszine.com/blog/archi..._css_minhe.html

Which seemed simple enough, but when I try it doen't seem to work.

Here's my code

Code:

<a href="#" class="nav"><img src="/images/left.gif" alt="" />Next<img src="right.gif" alt="" /></a>

Code:

.nav {
display:block;
min-width:100px;
width: auto !important;
width: 100px;
background-image: url(/images/btn_section_nav_bg.gif);
}

My end goal is to have a button that can expand to whatever width the text is inside it.

Anyway TIA

As I understand it, IE supports "hover" only when applied to a link, where with Firefox and Safari you can apply hover to any element. I am wondering if any of you know of a hack for IE to make hover applicable to any element.

Below is my CSS.

Code:

.amy-navigation { 
padding: 30px 15px 0px 15px;
height: 22px;
float: right;
}

div.amy-navigation:hover {
background-color: white;
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: solid 1px #b1cc8d;
}

div.amy-navigation:hover > a {
color: #acadac;
text-decoration: none;
}

Using Firefox or Safari you can see what I'm trying to do in my header at www.amydelez.com

I have been having my share of problems with CSS lately for this one site I'm working on (this is my 3rd thread here about it) and now after researching I believe this one is from what I think is called a box model bug.

The problem is this: The border heights for my <div>'s are perfect in FF but when I test in IE the are too long! below is my code and a url to the project.

Code:

* {
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}

	background-color:#FFFFFF;
	text-align:center;

	}

Does anyone have some suggestions that will make my sites <div>'s look the same in both IE and FF?

So, I have an app that allows the user to select images from a list of thumbnails. The thumbnails have an 'on' and 'off' state, but also have a drop shadow.

I can get the drop shadow to render nicely in IE6 using a PNG hack, but I can't seem to find a hack that will allow me to use a PNG sprite so I can have the on and off state in the same image.

Any suggestions would be great.
