Hi;

I don't mind writing straight CSS with a text editor; my big problem is cross-browser compatibility -- getting all those tweaks for everything you do to include ie 5, 6 & 7 (I guess we can drop 5 by now).

To that end, I don't object to using an IDE or other tool to develop cross browser CSS. So my question is, what is/are the best resources available to handle the cross-browser issues; from broken box model, etc.

** I know about ie7-js from Dean Edwards, but I don't know how well that works.

** I know about some CSS IDE's like Aptana & Stylizer; but again I don't really know how well they handle these issues.

** And I would like to hope there are some sites out there with total references that tells you everything you need to know about cross browser CSS, though all I've found so far are piecemeal articles; how to handle this or that aspect.

So in short, I don't expect one magic bullet (though that would be nice), but I'm looking for pointers to and evaluations of various resources that could be maybe used together to make this problem a little easier.

Thanks

i have a web site that i am redesigning and the redesign is @

http://cometosandiego.com/weekendvisit/index.php

it shows up GREAT in firefox

screwed in opera

and COMPLETLY out of wack in IE 6 and 7

what to do????

thanks

Hello,

My pages all validate XHTML 1.0 Strict. My CSS Validates 2.1 ...except when I uploaded it then I get this error fives times: Parse Error opacity=0)

Anyway, I thought by creating valid pages most browsers would render them correctly ----WRONGE!

It seems IE 6 compresses my pages just enough to make the center column jump down under the two side columns, creating a big hole at the top. In IE 5.5 the pages look like a wild dog completely mangle them. FireFox can't seem to understand Javascript and my picture fader screen is blank and the Nav Bar is always on.

Seems IE 7 is the only one who can get it right.

Thank goodness for Microsoft!

I was wondering how to resolve these problems. Seems I read somewhere that one could create different stylesheets for different browsers and use javascript to run them. I know nothing about javascript except how to paste it in. But I need someway to get my pages to work in FireFox and IE 6 at least. The name of the site is mybelovedangels dot com.


Any Suggestions?

Thanks

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.

Hi,

I have a template that works perfectly in Internet Explorer, but doesn't work well in all the other browsers.

Here is the template: http://www.gmaptools.com/redemo/format.html

(The scrollbar located on the right of the page doesn't contain to 100% height in the other browsers)

The entire page must stay at 100% height and 100% width, and work in the other browsers the same way it works in Internet Explorer.

Does anyone know why it isn't working in the other browsers?

I need it to work in:
1. Internet Explorer (Windows)
2. FireFox (Windows & Mac)
3. Opera (Windows)
4. Safari (Mac)

I really appreciate any assistance you can give me.

Thanks in advance,

How does one make a header like this cross browser compatible? It works in most browsers but I noticed in IE8 it renders the header weird. Here is the CSS:
Code:

.header { position: relative; padding-bottom: 0; z-index: 20; }
#banner-top { float: right; line-height: 0; margin: 20px 20px 20px 0px; }
.logo { float: left; margin: 0 50px 0 20px; }
.logo.image { line-height: 0px; }
.logo .plain-text { font-size: 20px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: bold; }
.logo #tagline { font-size: 11px; font-style: italic; }

#search-bar { float:left;
              margin-top:25px;
              z-index:500;}

#search-bar #home_search { 
display: block;
    height: 40px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 4px;
    position: relative;
    width: 595px;}

#search-bar #home_search_input { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 1px solid #C6C6C6;
    color: #666666;
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 12px;
    height: 40px;
    line-height: 14px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    width: 480px; }




#search-bar #home_search_submit {
	border: 1px solid #dc5653;	
    background: #fe5d62; /*fallback for non-CSS3 browsers*/
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(#fe8781) to(#fe5d62)); /*old webkit*/
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*new webkit*/
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*gecko*/
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*IE10*/
    background: -o-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*opera 11.10+*/
    background: linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*future CSS3 browsers*/
    -pie-background: linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*PIE*/

 repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 0 none !important;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: bold;
    height: 43px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    margin-left: 6px;
    width: 80px;}

Does anybody know how to tweek this code to render the same in all browsers? Freaking IE8!

Okay, my layout is css, and the problem is with my footer, and bottom links. In mozilla, they look the way i want them to, but for IE, they are positioned too low, and the bottom links are unreadable. Take a look - www.funny-guys.com

The Code:

#bottomlinks
{
margin:0px 0px 20px 0px;
padding:0px;
font-size:10px;
color:#999999;
text-align:center;

div#footer
{
margin: 0px 0px 12px 0px;
font-size:60%;
text-align:center;
padding:0;
}

Thanks

On this site http://www.freewaytransmissions.com I am having issues with the spacing on the navigation. The nav is an ul and I used inline css for spacing the links apart, but as you see in Chrome they are spaced correctly, but in IE they are not aligned correctly. If someone can shed some light I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Tom

This template works perfectly in firefox (as I want it) but the background-images won't show and the margin/padding shows wrong. When I validate the CSS in firefox, it goes through, but when I do it in IE, it tells me that the id's are suppose to be used for block elements. I've done a search and read up on this over at w3schools but it was fruitless. I would like for it too look in IE the way it does in FF.

I think it has something to do with the header or some part of the id's, because that feels a bit odd coding from my part.

Please excuse the poorly formatted CSS, as the first part of it was made online where you had to use space to format it. Here is my source code:

Okay, I'm about 6 steps into an effort to redo a section of my site... And while I swear I started out using a DIV/CSS based layout that worked in ALL browsers suddenly that is no longer the case.

What I'm trying for is a navigation bar that stays fixed to the left... to the right of it are esentially 4 stacked areas:
1) the top header should stay glued to the top.
2) a middle content area that should flex reletive to the things around it
3) the second-from the bottom thing stays glued to the bottom, but has a bottom margin to place it above the footer.
4) the bottom footer should stay glued to the bottom.

It works in all of my Mac browsers (Safari, Firefox, IE) as well as Firefox for windows. But IE 6.x for Windows insists on displaying all of the right-side elements way down the page... below the end of the left navigation. I simply can not force it to float/wrap to the right.

Here is what I've got: http://digipix.jeffntom.com/TEMPLATE_UI-5.php

Ignore the whiz-bang JavaScript stuff displaying the images, etc... and help me figure out what's up with my DIV/CSS?

Here is the Div structu

Original - css Code #leftnav { margin: 0; padding: 0; position: fixed; top:0px; width: 200px; bottom: 1px; // this locks the div to the browser bottom (minus 1px) float: left; background:#cccccc; valign: bottom; } /* this is a container that holds everything except the left navitation */ #rightbody { /* width: 100%; */ } #header { position: fixed; top: 0px; margin-left: 212px; margin-right: 0px; background: #ffffff; } #content { margin-top: 60px; margin-left: 212px; margin-right: 0px; background: #ffffff; } #thumbnails { position: fixed; bottom: 51px; margin-left: 210px; margin-right: 10px; background: #ffffff; } #footer { position: fixed; bottom: 0px; margin-left: 200px; margin-right: 10px; background: #ffffff; }

Ok, so I've having some problems getting a webpage I'm designing looking good (I'm better at the "behind the scenes" coding, not so much the visual part). Anyway, I'm having some problems in Firefox and even more in IE, so here goes. In Firefox I want it to extend all the way to the bottom of the page, I tried adding "min-height:100%" to the container's styles, but that doesn't work. Can I not use a percent for the min-height? If I directly declare the height to be 100%, then the body can expand outside of the container rather than the container expanding with it. I also want to make sure that the body is always completely filling the container. The page in question is he

I'm designing a site with a combination of css and tables and I've run into some issues w/IE.

I've got some content in a nested table

<table id="content">
<tr>
<td>
Content...
</>
</>
</table>

and in my style sheet i have

#content{
padding-left:20px;
...
}

Firefox recognizes this property just fine and displays the table slightly indented, but IE seems to completely miss it. I have figured out a few workarounds, but they end up causing more problems and there are also other thigns that IE has been missing.. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

ALSO

i have a <div id=divider> inside a td w/css props as width:1px and height:100% and background-color:#000000.

again, firefox recognizes this and displays a black line that is the height of the td and 1 px wide, but IE displays a little midget line thats like 10px tall instead of the entire height of the cell. wtf?

Hi

I have created a site which looks good in internet explorer.

But being a bit of a newb i never thot to check it in other browsers till now, and it just doesn't take my layout at all in opera or firefox

is there anything i can do to get around this?

cheers boyindie

I have the following site:

www.artsenvacature.nl

I've heard the site doesn't look nice on MAC OS (I've got a PC) and some tiny details fail on FireFox. It only looks perfect in IE 6.0.

Is anybody interested in making the CSS compatible? I'm very well willing to pay for it.
