CSS - Applying Ie Css Fixes And Ms Browser Testing
This is where I always run into trouble. I don't know if I'm taking from the right approach but this is what I usually do and I always end up getting frustrated and taking it out of those poor IE users and just removing IE fixes completely.
I usually tackle completely design a site using Firefox and then apply patches as I get around to it ( a round tuit ), but sometimes, a fix will cause other errors and it just ends up in a domino effect until my IE CSS file is bigger than my Firefox CSS and there are still problems. How should I go about this? Should I go to the ghetto with $100 and go around shooting IE users .... or better yet IE development decision makers....? I found the solution to my IE browser issues. There seems to be a new guide out there with a lot of great comments about it. The last guide I followed had a bunch of people asking for help. Hope this works. Similar TutorialsWhat do you use for Cross Browser Testing? I just came across BrowserCam ($25 per year) at fundable.org. Do you recommend it? thank you. Dr. Mk. I was wondering if anyone knows of downloadable software for cross-browser testing (other than downloading all browsers manually). I know there are several websites that offer these features, but I'd like downloadable software as well. It would be even better if it offered some emulators for mobile device browsers as well.... Anyways, just wondering if anyone knows of anything good other than the online web service ones. Hey all, I am creating a very simple website with stylesheets. My style works perfectly in firefox, and very close in IE and Safari. Also, I havn't worked with stylesheets much so I'm no master and was looking for any critiques on my method of doing things so I might get better. It felt like I had to use far too many negative margins to get things to sit where I wanted, and I am a bit worried if the page is going to break down when resized or on mobile phones. The URL Is h t t p : / / s c h e d u l e r . f p i t e s t e r s . com / s i m p l e s t y l e (no spaces) If you load it in firefox (3.5.9) it looks just like I want it to. If you load in Internet explorer, the text in the body area is far to the right. I do not know why that is happening. If you load in safari, the yellow bar (the breadcrumbs navigation) floats all the way to the left. I don't know why it is doing that. If anyone could provide some tips on how to fix those issues, and also feel free to offer any other advice to a CSS newb, I would really appreciate it. thank you. Okay, i was just messing around with (X)HTML and CSS and was wondering if there was an easy way to do this. When viewed in Internet Explorer (6 sp1) it shows fine, the floating "menu" to the left extends the "body" division. But if I view it in FF (1.0.4) then the floating menu doesnt expand the "body" division like it does in IE. I usually fix this with (if a page doesnt have a lot of content) a lot of breaks to even it out. But is there an easier way? URL for the website so you can see it is below. (There's really almost nothing on it, just messing around with layout) http://www.omnimist.com [edit] looked at it via opera and netscape and they're the same as FireFox, but i want it to look like it does with IE...[/edit] Hi all, a few quick q's: 1. What is best way to set-up a style-sheet for NN4 CSS? I am using @import, and I want to serve-up a NN4 CSS with link a "link rel"... 2. Can I reley upon Dreamweaver's CSS syntax checking to create my alternative/NN4 CSS? (i.e. DW will tell you if a particular attribute or style is or is-not supported by a certain browser.) 3. What is the best/fastest/your technique for building alternative style sheets (by alternative, I mean a style-sheet to feed to browsers like NN4)? 4. Should I be using the TAN hack for height also? Example: Code:
* html div { /* This is the Tan hack */
height: 130px;
hei\ght: 100px; }
/* the backslash cannot appear before the letters a to f, and A to F, and numerals 0 to 9 since doing so will turn those letters or numerals into hexadecimal numbers. */
5. (Last q) I am using an image replacement technique for my navigation (using one background sprite to create off/over/active states: INKNOISE)... It works great, except this: In Mozilla FF on PC when page loads, the background images do not ussually load... Anyone got a fix for that? Because I can't seem to find a fix, my best answer would be to create a PHP sniffer and force a page refresh. Thanks in advance! Cheers! Micky Hi, I have added the following doctype to my XHTML document: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
This fixes several design problems, but my rollovers don't work anymore. Am I using the right doctype? here's the site, if you'd like to have a look: http://www.caillouette.com/Utilitrek/eight/services.php How should I trouble shoot this? thanks -S Good Day all, I've tried a few different hacks/fixes now to fix my PNG problem in IE6 but none seem to have any effect. I'm starting to wonder if this is fixable. Can anyone provide some insight as to what the problem could be? I seem to be ok in all browsers except IE6... 029c92a.netsolhost.com/brushes.html Best, Colin Hello, I have a problem appearing only in IE8, but I don't seem to find the exact bug and solution. In this page http://www.cracowflats.com/index.php/search/show/id/181 there is a Details area (bottom left) where titles have a green background. For some reason this green background appears in other parts of the page. In other browsers, the whole page has a white background, as it should. 1) With this code in theme.css a {color:#62860b; } h3, h4 { color: #70af1d;} .color_title { background: #76a637;color:#fff;} .logo h1 a { color: #62860b !important;} it appers everywhere and the whole background of the page is green (should be white). 2) when I add an "overflow: hidden;" here .color_title { background: #76a637;color:#fff; overflow: hidden;} it gets better, as the main area is white. But I still have a lot of green on the footer (and tabs). If I could find out to which bug it refers, it would be easier to find a solution. Any hint would be appreciated! Thanks! Luca Hello, i have a very strange problem with css. I want to build a horizontal menu, like tabs. Here is the link of my site. (sorry, its in russian) http://eai.w2o.ru/default.aspx Now you can see red border around the header div. When in layout.css, I remove the border, the header div changes its position (goes down). (in IE and FF (in FF is a little better)) Can you tell me what is my mistake? How can I do the same without that border? Thank you very much! Applied this as a div id and a div class, neither of which apply css to the links and text properly. Also hashed all selectors. Some of these are to be followed by regular text/explanations. What am I missing here? Code: .cont { /*container*/
position: relative;
background: #FBFBFB;
float:left;
border: 1px solid #D3D3D3;
width: 195px;
color:#999;
text-decoration: none;
}
#vt-r {
color:#999999;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 0.90em;
font-weight: 400;
margin: 10px 0px 7px 15px;
}
.vt-r:link {
color:#3366CC;
text-decoration: none !important;
font-size: 0.70em;
font-weight: 400;
padding: 15px 5px 0 0;
margin: 10px 0px 7px 15px;
}
.vt-r:hover {
color:#333;
text-decoration: underline;
}
<div class="cont">

I have an Unordered List that has a set height for the List Items. Like so: Code:
#left ul {
padding: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
#left ul li {
text-align: center;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
height: 200px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
This works fine for most of the pages, but there is one where I really need the height of the <li>'s to be 350px. I tried just adding a class like Code:
.comics {
height: 350px;
}
I tried adding this to the <li> Code:
<li class="comics"><a href="#"><img src="images/comics/thumbnails/HeldvsHeldin3_sm.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="350">
</a></li>
and also just a <span> Code:
<li><span class="comics"><a href="#"><img src="images/comics/thumbnails/HeldvsHeldin3_sm.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="350">
</a></span></li>
but it still kept the 200px height. Do I need to make a whole new <li> code or am I missing something? I have noticed that sites I make is out of whack on different browsers. Like the divs using absolute positions would line up on different positions, pop up windows that open to a certain size, open smaller and scrollbars appear when I asked it not to. Is there like something a person can add, to make sure that a site you build and tested on one platform and one browser, works and looks properly on all browsers? What are the common bugs that appear and the common hack or fix for it? Thanks. How do I apply margins to the outside of all of my frames? Just the outside, treating my frames together as one page and adding blank space to the outside of that page rather than adding margins to each frame separately. Hi , I have writen an advertising script that basicly lists my text link advertisers , this works everywhere on my site except for on my portal page where i have to use an iframe to insert the content instead of an include. the links come up fine however they are the default blue / purple not the colours defined in the style sheet I tried to make a few changes to the style sheet and iframe however nothing seemed to work , so I am hopign somoen can tell me where i am goin wrong first lets start with the example list of links all located on a page called New3.html Code: <a href="this is a test"> test.com</a> <a href="this is a test"> test.com</a> <a href="this is a test"> test.com</a> <a href="this is a test"> test.com</a> <a href="this is a test"> test.com</a> The page with the iframe is called New2.html and contains the following Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#main_iframe a:link{
color:purple;
}
#main_iframea:visited{
color:red;
}
#main_iframe a:hover {
color:black;
}
#main_iframe a:active{
color: green;
}
-->
</style>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe id="main_iframe" name="main_iframe" src="New3.html" frameborder="0" scrolling="NO">
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
what I basicly want is for the css in the page New2.html to effect the links that are imported from New3.html unfortunately it's not as easy as just putting the css into New3.html though because the css file used will depends on the skin of the users cms The logic with my above examplkes is that I tried to set the iframe with the id or main_iframe and then i tried to set the link variables for that id , but as you can see it didn't work thankyou so much in advance to anyone that can help Fallen Angel i have a table that i'm using within a div. here is the style #content { float: left; padding: 0 20em 4em 3em; } #content table .content { border: 1; bordercolor: #fff; width: 100%; cellspacing: 0; cellpadding: 0; } when i reference the style for the table within the div, nothing is applying. not sure what im doing wrong here. <div id="content"> <table class="content"> please advise.. i'm guessing its syntax Sidebar div's background is messed up. Its background should be black until the end, but its cut short. Check it he http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/default.asp?Section=products&CATEGORYID=4 PHP Code: #products .sidebar { background: #000000; color: #CCCCCC; padding: 10px 0 0 0; } #products .sidebar ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none;} #products .sidebar li { display: block; float: left; width: 124px; padding: 10px 5px 10px 15px;} #products .sidebar li ul { line-height: 15px; } #products .sidebar li li { display: list-item; background: url(../images/img07.gif) no-repeat left 50%; padding: 0 0 0 10px;} #products .sidebar h2 { font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; color: #FFFFFF;} #products .sidebar a { font-size: 10px; text-decoration: none; color: #CCCCCC;} #products .sidebar a:hover { text-decoration: underline;} #products .clear { clear:both; height:1px; width:1px; overflow:hidden; } PHP Code: <div class="clear"></div> <div class="sidebar"> <ul> <li> <h2>Lorem Ipsum</h2> <ul> <li><a href="#">Fusce dui neque fringilla</a></li> <li><a href="#">Eget tempor eget nonummy</a></li> <li><a href="#">Magna lacus bibendum mauris</a></li> <li><a href="#">Nec metus sed donec</a></li> <li><a href="#">Magna lacus bibendum mauris</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <h2>Recipient</h2> <ul> <li><a href="#">Family</a></li> <li><a href="#">For Him</a></li> <li><a href="#">For Her</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <h2>Price</h2> <ul> <li><a href="#">Under $50</a></li> <li><a href="#">$50-$75</a></li> <li><a href="#">$75-$150</a></li> <li><a href="#">$150 & Up</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="clear"></div> This is killing me! The border of a DIV top is working perfectly on FF but not applying on top in IE 6+7. Here are the class attributes: {padding:1px 7px 3px; font-size:16px; border-color:#555555; border-style:solid; border-width:1px 1px 0px; text-decoration:none; color:#425366; background-color: #abd3ff; font-weight:bold;} Not sure if the problem is on this class or in anything that affecting it. Any suggestions will be great. Ehud Please can anyone tell me why my style sheet is not applying to this page http://www.on-line-biz.com ? hey guys i have this so far
Code: div#navbar2 {
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
border-top: solid #000 1px;
border-bottom: solid #000 1px;
background-color: #99b3b4;
text-align:center;
}
div#navbar2 ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #FFF;
line-height: 30px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
div#navbar2 li {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline;
}
div#navbar2 li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 7px 10px;
color: #FFF;
}
div#navbar2 li a:link {
color: #FFF:
}
div#navbar2 li a:hover {
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
background-color: #e4ebeb;
}
but what i can figure out is how to show the link they are on as a selected button so having the button be red if they are on that link... Code: <div id="navbar2"> <ul> <li><a href="index.php?page=update">Basic</a></li> <li><a href="link2.html%20">Button 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html%20">Button 3</a></li> </ul> </div> |
