CSS - How Browsers Pass The Acid Test

I've uploaded a test page re how do I get a content div to scroll under [apologies for new thread]. It renders fine in Camino-Shiira, Safari, iCab, Firefox, IE Mac 5.2x, but not too good on Opera 8.52 Mac [fuhgeddabout Netscape 4x].

1) Can someone provide some feedback on how it renders in Windows IE/FF?
2) Is the CSS a reasonable structure to convert the other pages of my site to?

The template would be a fixed sidebar, fixed clock header (different-pages different-heights) and relatively positioned content. Two of the javascript clocks and the table are running ahead of time in debug mode.

The test page is [obsolete link deleted]; clicking w3c css validator at bottom shows .css file.

Issues in Opera-Mac indicate all is not well:
a) table is one to two pixels wider (cut-off by overflow: hidden)
b) scrolling table div eventually "catches" and drags fixed header when it scrolls.
c) anchor "top" doesn't work from the bottom link.

This works on Opera while still working on IE and Firefox. Does it work on Konqueror? html4strict Code:

How do i change img button to 3d on hover or mouseover using css.

Please advise. thanks

Hi, targeting both IE and FF i seem to experience compatibility issues ... The CSS design on IE looks perfect, but same JSPs on FF gives a little bit of dull on colors (or fade) ... I also found some strange behavior in FF on my struts application which i don;t see when testing on EE. Sometimes a page reloads itself on submit... Any issues around this? Oh, i know blinking text is not adviced, but can't seem to get it to work either (using CSS text-decoration : blink)

Thanks for your help

Hi all,

I have several CSS files to look after different browsers, but I use javascript to match the IE css with IE browsers, etc.

Can you only have one CSS file that looks after ALL browsers? So that if the user doesn't have javascript it's not a problem? I've heard of css hacks and css filters being used but I'm not all that familiar.

My web site (URL address blocked: See forum rules) is causing me problems with CSS since I have reworked it.
If you look at my web pages in Internet Explorer they look perfect. In Firefox when loading some of the pages the top logo blinks and takes a few seconds to load. In Opera some pages move slightly to the right.
I know the problem is related to the length of the center div but I have no idea how to fix this unless I make the small centers longer.
Also my previous version of this site just used one image. Logo.gif was in the background.
I have put Logo.gif in the header and have used GREEN.jpg as my background now.

I'm in the process of revamping my website and am trying to use css to position things. I've used browsershots to view what the website looks like in different browsers and platforms. All is well with one exception, IE6! Grrr.

Now I'm a total css newbie so what I'm doing wrong is probably painfully obvious to you guys, but I've been beating my head against this for a while now and would appreciate it if someone could take a look over my shoulder and see if they can spot the problem.

If you use IE6 you'll notice that the featured products are listed below the last 'service ad' image instead of at the top of that 'column' even with the first 'serivce ad' image.

Again, any help in diagnosing/fixing this issue is greatly appreciated!

Here's a link to the page:

http://www.decaldepot.net/zencart/index.php

I have a small box displayed at the top of the page for an "anouncment column". Opera and IE show it properly, sort of, and NEtscape/mozilla show it further down the page. I want it to be at the VERY top of the page, IE/Opera show it a few px down and mozilla/netscape show it a good 10+ down. I have tried playing with padding and it made no difference. These browsers are the new versions.

any ideas?

Code:

<div style="position: absolute; left: 617px; top; 0px; width: 147px; height: 30px; background-color: transperant; padding: 0px;">
<h5>text is here</h5>

</div>

    color: #000000;

Hey All:

Its that time again- testing my pages in different browsers. I have browser cam for another 7 hours, this is my snapshot of the page I am testing.

Ok, this is the first time I am testing my code. Any reason why older browsers are not interpreting my CSS correctly? Maybe something I should know about older browsers.

Any feedback is helpful- thanks

I've been having a hard time with browser compatibility and I need a bit of help. This is what I'm trying to acheive. It's a link bar on top and then a page that contains left and right headers, dividers and content plus a footer (height is not an issue right now). I would like the #page to have a 2px border and every element inside to have a white 2px padding.
It seems that in IE, if I set #page with a 2px padding, I get exactly what I want but Firefox does not interpret it the same way. Is there a hack/workaround for this. I've attacned a picture of what I'm trying to get at.

Thanks

Hi,
I have been thinking about this cross browser problem. Is there a list of things that FireFox can do and IE can't (plus other browsers) in CSS.
It would be great if somewhere on the net there would be a list of these things so i could use it as a cross refferance.
.

At the mo i just use trial and error but th\at means spending hours to get designs just right

Thanks

Hi all,

I seem to be stumped on something that is probably simple. At this test site you'll notice the left nav area as well as the text content area.

I am trying to set it up so that both are 6 pixels below the header image. Obviously, then they would be even with each other.

Everything I've tried has come close but never right in both FF & IE. Could someone please give me a hand with this?

Thanks!

Chris

Hi all,
Compatibility with different browsers, link one and link looks good in ie but gets overlap in Firefox and too far apart in Opera.
Does anyone know how to make this menu compatible with a least these tree browsers. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

Code:

<style type="text/css">
ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 1.0em 0 0 30px; padding: 0; position: relative; overflow: visible; height: auto; }
ul li { height: 1.6em; width: 230px; }
ul li a, ul li a:visited { width: 200px; display: block; color: black; text-decoration: none; background: yellow; margin: 0.1em 0 0 0; text-indent: 10px; padding: 3px;}
ul li a:hover { display: block; background: green; color: black; }
ul li a.currentpage, ul li a.currentpage:visited { background: red; color: black; padding: 3px;}
</style>
<ul>
  <li><a href="menu3.html" class="currentpage">Main page </a></li>
  <li><a href="page2.html">Dummy page 2</a></li>
</ul>

I have a three column (25% - 50% - 25%) page layout via CSS which works perfect in IE. But it does not work in Firefox. Here is my CSS code.

#leftColumn {
float:left;
width:25%;
margin: 5px 3px 0px;
padding: 0;
}
* html #leftColumn {
width:25%;
}

#rightColumn {
float:right;
width:25%;
margin: 5px 2px 0px 3px;
padding: 0;
}
* html #rightColumn {
width:25%;
}

#main3Column {
margin:5px 25% 5px 25%;
padding: 0;
/* 50% or auto or no width does not work in IE.
100% here is the remaining of the available after left and right columns */
width:100%;
}

The ID 'main3Column' is for the middle column. Width: 100% works fine in IE as it excludes 25% for left and 25% for right and 100% of whatever remaining for the middle column.

But in Firefox, middle column is taking 100% of the screen width instead of the remaining after left and right columns.

Is it possible to come up with a code which works for both IE and CSS ? Please help.
