CSS - Site Not Rendering Properly. Major Help!
I have been working on a site for the past week and I am trying to get it to work in every browser. I have tested it with 32 different browers, ranging from different versions to different operating systems.
From my review, the following browsers are not rendering the website properly: Phoenix 0.5 on PLD Linux Phoenix 0.4 on PLD Linux Dillo 0.8.6 on PLD Linux MSIE 6.0 on Windows XP MSIE 5.5 on Windows XP MSIE 5.01 on Windows XP MSIE 5.5 on Windows XP Phoenix 0.5 on PLD Linux Navigator 4.8 on PLD Linux They all seem to take the sidebar and push it to the bottom of the page rather than have it to the right. If you view the site in any firefox, you will see exactly how I want it displayed. Please let me know what error exist within my css and then post it here! I have run the site through validator.w3.org and it shows that my site is perfect in terms of validation... I have the doctype specified properly too. Bristol Cove's Validator The website to view the code is: http://www.gc40.com/b2/ I also added the website to www.browsershots.org to view the different browser displays and how different browsers render them... So please, anyone that is willing to go through the snapshots, please tell me the errors you notice and what to do to fix them. BrowserShots.org - Different browser rendering for Bristol Cove's Site Similar TutorialsEven when there is no text in the div... http://www.megasouldrill.com/test/ When viewed in firefox and IE7, the 'footer' div maintains it's styled height of 15px. In IE6, however, it seems as though the 'footer' div is ignorign the styled height completely. What gives? 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" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<style type='text/css'>
body{
background-color: #9e9e9e;
}
#footer{
background: url('images/footer.gif');
width: 1042px;
height: 15px;
}
</style>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id='footer'></div>
</body>
</html>
EDIT: made problem simpler and gave a better title if you're already viewed this. I have since realized that adding overflow: hidden; to the footer styles fixes this as well as changing the background style to include no-repeat Note: as a new user it would not let me use a link(url) Problem:when viewing in IE8 - the text looks grainy notes: Using this page as an example: fineprintnotes.com/bergincapital1210/about-us-bergin-co-difference -text looks smooth and easy to the eye when viewing in Firefox and Chrome -text looks smooth when using the "compatibility view" feature in IE8 - but want that look as a default for visitors -for example - when visiting other website using IE8 such as: savantcapital.com The text renders- when viewing in IE8- like Firefox and Chrome or in other words smooth and not grainy -i have the same font face as that site and not sure what a fix could be - read up on what possible fixes I could find on the internet - such as "emulate IE 7" tag for example on this page: url blocked -- Welcome to Internet Explorer 8 Readiness Toolkit Questions - has anybody had this issue? - i don't notice the savantcapital.com website defaulting to Ie7 (using emulate ie 7 tag - how does their text look cleaner than my website? same goes for morganstanley.com (as another example) - i find it hard to degrade the wesbite to fix the text issue- i am not sure if thats how to put it- but would like it to use a more DOM compliant browser like ie8 if it has option in stead of reverting to IE7 view. Any thought? or fixes? Thanks in advance. one other note: I tried to do screen shots but it wasn't communicating the issue - the images altered the drasticness of the difference - i feel - right now i have the website not emulating ie7 Jamie Hi, my site is not showing properly in IE, but looks great in Firefox, I know it is the floats, but why I don't know since I cleared them both This is my doctype <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> <html xmlns="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> here is the code I am using in the php page <? include ("header.txt"); ?> <div id="page"> <div id="headerimg"> </div> <div id="topbar"> </div> <div id="content"> <table summary="main content" width="90%"><tr><td> <p align="justify"><span>Welcome to Call Me Farms, your first choice in breeding for Australian Cattle dogs, Border Collies, and Rat Terriers.

Hi everyone, This is my first time posting, I'm having a issue getting my site to appear correctly in IE7. It displays properly in all other major browsers (firefox, safari, chrome, opera and even ie6) but for some reason in IE7 the header imager overlaps the menubar. The site is (vividmark.com.au) and if anyone could shead some light on this, I'd be very greatful. Thanks. hey i was just wondering how i can fix the left menu to display properly in Opera. it works in Moziila and i have a seperate style sheet for IE but Opera is no go. are there any hacks that will fix the positoning? the site is located at: http://studentwork.qantm.com.au/pking/Website/ and css is at: http://studentwork.qantm.com.au/pking/Website/ptwm.css any help would be great cheers I have a website (www.fullforcecreative.com) that displays properly on I.E. and Firefox. I just recently pulled it up in Google Chrome, and it appears no style sheets are being imported. I then thought "that is strange, but Safari is based on the same thing (kinda), so I'll load it in Safari." Same issue. No style sheets. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I link to one style sheet in the header. Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css; charset=utf-8" media="screen" />
This style sheet linked to from that line: Code: @charset "UTF-8"; @import url(yaml/core/base.css); @import url(css/navigation/nav_shinybuttons.css); @import url(css/screen/basemod.css); @import url(css/screen/content.css); @import url(yaml/print/print_003.css); All the other stylesheets open with the Code:
@charset "UTF-8";
@media all {
insert css here
}
The site is using YAML (http://www.yaml.de/en/) as a framework for the CSS. The only issue I could find relativly close to it was this: http://www.davidroessli.com/logs/2007/03/safari_utf8_rendering_glitch_f/ I made the change listed there (because the CSS stylesheets are in UTF-8), but it made no difference. Does anyone have any ideas? This is driving me up the wall. It does display properly in I.E. and firefox. Thanks, seth hi there! i got some trouble in using div for my blog... i think my problem is somewhere here...but i still can't figure out! Code:

you can check the rest of the code at my test page: URL thanks in advance!!! Hey, I've been slowly trying to learn CSS and was very pleased with myself for making this website with Divs. But now IE7 just gave me the finger. I have some major major spacing issues with my #maincontentLeft and #maincontentRight divs. I have read a little bit about all the crazy stupid bugs in IE6 and IE7 (like double spacing margins..ect) but don't really know hwo to fix... or if thats my problem. ??? Here is my site u rl: ptk.org/scholarships/franklanza/ (i'm new so i can't link it in the text field but just add the w's ) Any help would be SO much appreciated!! -Sarah Hello, long-time lurker, first time poster. I'm doing a website for local church (charity work), and I'm having a major brain-fart trying to get my CSS menu to work for users with MAC OS X -> the site works perfectly in Windows. temporary URL to see what I mean: update (dot) gcmpg (dot) com Thanks for all the help. Cheers. I have spent more than 6 hours researching and reading to solve these two problems. I have included a complete example in one file to assist others in helping me quickly and easily. Just copy to an HTML file and examine my complete issue. 1. Left black bar needs to match right-column height. 2. Image in left column needs to align to the bottom of the left bar. I tried absolute positioning the left image but it would then over-lap stuff in the left bar if the leftbar was not tall enough. In other words, it didn't take any space anymore and just covered up anything. Code: <html>

Hello, I am using ASP.NET to create a web application. I HAVE to use a master page which means that I do not have complete control over the rendering. The trick is, the master page defines a menu at the top of the page. I need to create a table that dynamically fills the contents of the REMAINDER of the screen. If there is any overflow, I want to scroll the contents. Does anyone know how I can have the table fill the REMAINDER of the screen? I can nest DIVs and such once I have that outer table. Thank you! Crystal Hi guys, pretty new to CSS layout, and recently created a site for my girlfriend. I used 960 grid system to handle my layout css, and it renders perfectly in safari/FF/IE7+... after I installed IE Tester, i realized that IE6 wasnt rendering properly. The menu and z-index stuff arent appearing correctly. If anyone can have a quick look and let me know where my code is causing issues it would be a great help. I'm not allowed to post the URL, as im a new user, but I guess I can send through PM if you want to have a look? Thanks a bunch. Greetings everyone! I've been working on the following page for a couple of days now, and it looks fine in Safari and Firefox, but all my CSS fail in IE. I don't know what the problem is. Feel free to view the page at the following url http://www.netunification.com/demo/ I spoke with a friend and he speculates IE is having problems with the float command. I'm not so sure of this because I used the same CSS techniques while building the following site (http://www.the904.com/demo/). The904 page renders perfectly in IE and I can't figure out what the difference is between the pages. I thought I used the same concept with both pages. I've been trouble shooting the problem for a couple of days now, but I haven't had any luck. Can please someone take a look at my net u page (http://www.netunification.com/demo/) and suggest a solution Thanks in advance for any/all assistance. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated! Walt when i dont turn of cache in IE my website seems to forget some css rules half of the time its really annoying cause i only see it when i browse the site on the server not local...and only when caching is turned on i use the equal heights columns technique from positioniseverything.net the site having the problem is here the problem is visible on the home page....i think around 1/5th of the clicks... then the link in the top left content box that should be absolute; bottom:0; just crawls up to the text.... like my question is WHY?? does it only do it sometimes If you look at my page here in IE and Firefox, you'll see that the footer is stretched in IE. It's barely showing the image, but flooding over into the center of the page. I have no idea why it'd be doing this. View in IE View in FF Here's the CSS used : Code: #footer {
background: #49515C url(img/header_right.gif) no-repeat 100%;
border-bottom: 5px solid #fff;
border-top: 10px solid #fff;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
font-size: 0.8em;
padding: 10px;
line-height: 16px;
clear: both;
}
Can anyone see a problem? Hello Gang! First off, thank you for taking your time to help a noob. Here is my problem: With what I think is the same coding, the page is displaying two different ways. (see image). The left-hand column is made by using <?php include("news.htm"); ?> so I know for sure there are no differences between the pages (at least is that section). Can anyone spot why the pages render 2 different ways? LINK 1 LINK 2 Thank you for your time. Hi, I've designed a site that looks excellent on IE and Firefox on a PC, as well as (as far as I've been told) Safari. However, I've seen a couple of instances on IE on a Mac where the menu doesn't render correctly. The page can be viewed here. On the problem browsers, the top menu items will be displayed in two stacks, rather than across the bottom of the image. If anyone out there has any idea why this is happening, I'd appreciate the help.

First of all I just updated my Dreamweaver from 2004 MX to CS4. I have not used CSS before. I now want to update my sites to XHTML 1.0 Transitional and thought I would start using CSS. I am having trouble with the text losing or changing color and size once it gets posted. It looks fine in browser preview. So first some general questions. What is the difference between assigning properties to heading or class? Do I or should I use both the heading and class on a bit of text? Do I attach the style sheet to the template or to just the pages? All my pages are made from one template. I have several books, that tell how to create style sheets, but not what to do with this problem! Thanks, Jill Hi, I have a problem with a menu i made: http://www.kbskameleon.nl/kameleon2/ In internet explorer the red dots apear and disapear... how can i fix this? Code:
