CSS - Ie And Ff Differences And Fixes
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] Similar TutorialsHey 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. 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. 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 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 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! 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. Its working, lol! phew i've coded my layout perfectly for Firefox, but there are a few things that are irking me in Internet Explorer. http://www.lovemeforme.org/new/ the things that are bothering me: - In IE, under the navigation, each link in the menu has a break under it, i don't want the break there, I want it how it looks in firefox. - under the blog title, I don't want a space there, i want it right under the title how it is in ff, but in IE it puts a break there too. - same with the breaks under the titles on the sidebar, i don't want breaks there either. - on the side bar, under the ask me section, there is a black border around the 'ask' button, how can i get rid of that? also, how can i make the textarea the same size as the ask button? Can anyone help me fix these small problems? Thanks so much! It's much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have an <ul> that has different padding-right for each <li>. My problem is that the padding is where I want it to be in IE, but FF does not kick it over as far. I really don't know why. the <ul> is supposed to curve from the center of the page to the outside back to the center, like a 1/2 moon. Any ideas?

is there any difference? any right or wrong way? just wondering Can different browsers interpret CSS differently because of the order you put things in? I have the following CSS in my website Code:
div#container
{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #FBFBFB;
width: 660px;
height: 250px;
padding: 5px;
margin-left: 50px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
div#left
{
float: left;
clear: right;
width: 350px;
height: 250px;
background-color: #FF7800;
}
div#right
{
float: left;
clear: right;
width: 350px;
height: 250px;
background-color: #F3F3F3;
margin-left: 5px;
}
and the html Code: <div id="container"> <div id="left"></div> <div id="right"></div> </div> in IE it works fine, the layout is next to each other in a box but in safari (on mac) the right hand box is position below the left hand one... You can see the site at http://www.impulsive-solutions.co.uk/isnoname/ Hi guys, Im building a DNN site for a client, and have used a menu system theyve specified. Ive got it looking how I want, however in IE I have a couple pixels of padding below the UL container.. in FF its perfect (the butt up against each other)... Any hints? Im stumped. Cant post URL's, so if you're bored and feel like making someones day, feel free to PM me Cheers!!!! I am trying to build a site, and integrate a blog with Feedburner. The site is wwhgc.craigstanley.org The Issue: When the blog is present, the left column drops below all of the right content in IE (but not in Firefox) When the blog is not present (click "tandem flights" at the top), the content is fine. Feedburner says that they do not set a width to their content. Is there any way to see the actual HTML that the Feedburner Javascript spits out? Please help me . . . too many days down the drain on this one. -Craig Hi guys I was checking the CSS on a website I've been developing and I've noticed that Firefox is displaying the font size differently on the different operating systems(XP and OS X). Does anyone know if there is a hack I could use to determine if the user is viewing the site in Firefox using a PC or Mac and set a style sheet accordingly. Or this there a more simple fix for this? Thanks I am using CSS to display content from a XML document... the following code works part of the way in ie and part of the way in ie, but i need both parts working together in one browser. The XML document is... Code: <quotes>
<heading>NASDAQ 100</heading>
<subHeading>Current quotes</subHeading>
<dateTime>
<date>11/01/2008</date>
<time>11:45:05</time>

...so on and so on...
The CSS I am using is... Code: quotes {display:table;}
heading {display: block; position: absolute; top: 17%; left:44%}
subHeading {display: block; position: absolute; top: 20%; left:44%}
dateTime {display: block; position: absolute; top: 10%; left:75%;}
titles {display:block; position: absolute; top: 24%;}
titles * {display: table-cell; width:175px; }
stocks {display:table;}
stock {display:block; position: relative; top: 30%;}
stock * {display: table-cell; width:175px; }
stock[class="down"] symbol {display: table-cell; width:175px; color:green}
stock[class="up"] symbol {display: table-cell; width:175px; }
stock[class="unchanged"] symbol {display: table-cell; width:175px; }
In IE: The layout of the heading, subheadings, etc are right, but the declarations based on XML attributes "stock[class="down"] symbol {display: table-cell; width:175px; color:green}" do not work. In FF: The layout of the heading and subheading gets all crammed to the right and doesnt look right at all, BUT the declarations based on XML attributes are working; the stocks with attribute of "down" are showing up as green text. Any suggestions on why this is and how to fix it. Also, is anyone else seeing anything different than myself? link: http://mtm324php.info/nasdaq.xml Thank you. My site is http://www.shiningstarsyouth.com/. If you render the page in IE and Mozilla it seems that Mozilla renders my nav bar a couple of pixels lower than IE. Also the hover link style sheet that I used on the links in the upper right of the page work in Mozilla, but not in EI. The long vertical grey line that goes down the center of the page also renders differently in length. Why do these differences exist Hello, So my question is this: How do 'we' go about targeting browsers with IE7 between Vista and XP? The two versions render differently, and in my case, I need to be able to target one in a conditional comment (like I do for IE6 of course) to fix it in that version. The site is www.justmythoughts.com , and it renders correctly in IE7 Vista, however is a good 150px pushed to the side in IE7 XP. What is the 'new' remedy for this type of situation these days?? Is there any solution for this yet? Thanks, Nick |
