CSS - Ie8 Compatibility Mode
I do a lot of we development work for an intranet site. All users are on IE. Occasionally, I'll develop a page that looks fine in my browser (IE 8.0.6001) but not in others (8.0.7600). I have to set mine to compatibility mode to see what others see.
I thought the compatibility mode was meant to display a web page the way it would in an older browser. Is it possible that I have something installed on my machine that makes my browser render pages differently? I know this is vague, but I am just wondering if anyone has ideas on where to look. Similar TutorialsIt's not letting me post links since I am a new member, so copy paste the link below. (it's an image of what looks wrong in the website) img59.imageshack.us/i/52153657.jpg/ It loads correctly in Firefox and IE8, but the middle column breaks in ie7 and ie8 in compatibility mode. By break I mean the middle column gets shifted to the right side of the middle column and below the right column (while still in the middle column) I have also included the general layout and css below. I have tried changing doc types and a few small things but nothing has even effected the appearance. The website is in a layout like this: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="wrapper1"> <div id="wrapper2"> <div id="maincol"> <div id="leftcol"> </div> <div id="rightcol"> </div> <div id="centercol"> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="wrapper1"> css Code: Original - css Code #centercol { position:relative; padding:0 200px; min-width: 520px; } #leftcol { position:relative; top:-10px; left:-10px; float:left; width:180px; margin:0 0 -10px 0; padding:10px; z-index:100; } #rightcol { position:relative; top:-10px; right:-10px; float:right; width:180px; margin:0 0 -10px 0; padding:10px; z-index:99; } #maincol { position:relative; margin:0; padding:10px; } #wrapper1 { position:relative; text-align:left; width:100%; min-width: 950px; background:#23415C url("images/side.gif") repeat-y top right; } #wrapper2 { position:relative; text-align:left; width:100%; background:url("images/side.gif") repeat-y top left; }
#centercol {
Any ideas on how to resolve this problem would be great. Hey, does anyone know if there's a mozilla equivilent to writing-mode? um .. that's all Thanks I have a combo box written via JS that only seems to work in quirks mode in firefox. In IE it works in both quirks and SC mode. here is my js code (i know this is the CSS forum but javascript is changing the css) Code:
var fInitCombo=true;
// resdraw the combo box locations based on the windo resizing -- if need be
window.onresize=resizeCombos;
function resizeCombos(complete) {
// i take the select and place it in the right position. I also size the text box to be the same size as the combos
var oText, oSelect, obj, x, y;
for(var i in arrCombo) {
x=0;
y=0;
oText=arrCombo[i].textField;
oSelect=arrCombo[i].selectField;
obj=oText;
while(obj.tagName!="BODY") {
x+=obj.offsetLeft;
y+=obj.offsetTop;
obj=obj.offsetParent;
}
if(fInitCombo) {
oText.style.width=oText.offsetWidth-16;
//oSelect.selectedIndex=-1;
fInitCombo=false;
}
if(complete) {
//oSelect.selectedIndex=-1;
oText.style.marginRight=16;
}
oSelect.style.left=x;
oSelect.style.top=y;
oSelect.style.width=oText.offsetWidth+16;
oSelect.style.clip="rect(0,"+(oText.offsetWidth+18)+","+(oText.offsetHeight)+","+(oText.offsetWidth-2)+")";
oSelect.style.display="block";
}
}
function updateCombo(instance,use,oHiddenField) {
var oText=arrCombo[instance].textField;
var oSelect=arrCombo[instance].selectField;
if(use == "t")
{
oText.value = oSelect.options[oSelect.selectedIndex].text
}
else if(use == "v")
{
oText.value = oSelect.options[oSelect.selectedIndex].value
}
if(arguments.length > 2)
{
oHiddenField.value = oSelect.options[oSelect.selectedIndex].value
}
updateComboSelection(arrCombo[instance].selectField,arrCombo[instance].textField);
}
function comboLoad() {
resizeCombos(true);
}
function updateComboSelection(oSelect,oText)
{
oSelect.selectedIndex=-1;
for(var i=0;i<oSelect.options.length;i++)
{
//if(oSelect.options[i].text==oText.value)
if(oSelect.options[i].text.indexOf(oText.value) == 0)
{
oSelect.selectedIndex=i;
break;
}
}
}
subset of my html Code: <form action="##" name="data"> <fieldset style="width:600px"> <LEGEND>Appointment time</LEGEND> <table> <tr> <td> Start: <input type="text" name="start_time" id="start_time" onchange="changeHandler(this);" /><select name="start_time_select" id="start_time_select" onchange="changeHandler(this);" style="position:absolute;display:none;"><option>asdfasd</option></select> </td> </tr> </table> </fieldset> </form> arrCombo is just an array of objects pointing to the text and select fields. Any idea why this only works in quirks mode rather than SC mode it's the Resize combo method is the one thats running to do the combos Hi folks, I am super excited about the box-sizing css rule. I've always thought the original IE box model was better and it was a shame that we had to ditch their superior model for the w3c one to be cross browser. Now all the browsers are starting to support box-sizing which will allow me to go back to the model I prefer. Unfortunately, pioneering the border-box sizing model, the only way I can get to it (that I know of) in IE6/7 is via quirksmode. Quirksmode has a whole bunch of other issues I don't want so this doesn't see a solution. I'm hoping someone out there will no how I can trigger box-sizing: border-box; in IE6/7 without quirksmode. If it's possible I'll be ditching the w3c box model in a hurry. Cheers, Pete Hello guys, i've been trying for the past 2 days to google for textarea sizing under strict mode. i have found no solution and at the moment my problem is this... here is the code: Code:

The Textarea expend over the surrounding Div and it shows differntly under FireFox 3.5.7 and IE 8 (tested for both) I'm trying to do the following: make the textarea width 100% and height 100px for example. + padding 5px outside the textarea (space 5px from left, right, top, bottom).. most importent thing is to see it equaly under both ff and ie.. hope you can correct my code since i'm clueless.... have a nice day We've got something odd happening on our site. Check out: newser.com/story/82843/conan-obriens-twitter-woman-shows-class.html If you leave your browser window alone for about 5 minutes, eventually the content on the page jumps down. If you scroll, or mouseover the window, it jumps back. Any ideas on the issue? One thing to note -- we're watch for breaking news periodically -- when something big happens, we load a banner above the nav via AJAX. Seems like this may be a factor even though it's usually empty. A friend told me that css websites are sometimes displayed wrong with some browsers; the tables are out of place etc. Is this true? are there any issues with certain sites? Is css the best way to design an html site now a days? Sorry im a newbie in this, Im going to start learning soon. Thanks !!! I just finished a layout using CSS and I'm aware that browsers 4.0 and earlier (or is it 3.0 and earlier?) won't be able to display it right. However, I also know that the browsers that do support CSS don't all display it the exact same way. I tested my layout using Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla 1.6. I had to make a few changes to get Mozilla to display it close to what I intended. My question: which other browsers and versions should I test it on? I have always encountered problems trying to get my sites to work in IE6, mainly because it renders the margins as 2x the "right value". However I am curious: How does deliciousdays.com work perfectly in IE6 without using if IE6 conditional tag? I am making a site and this would be very useful. I try not to use the if IE6 conditional tag hack if possible. Okay I have this website www.deminyx.com and It looks decent in Google Chrome but stupid in IE my #content div is in a different place, can anyone help me clean up my code. I validated the HTML and CSS with the w3c validator too! UGHH lol!

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 CSS that works great in FF, but then when I go to check it all out in IE, it looks like s it (if you know what I mean...) Heres my CSS: Code:
input.submitbutton
{
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#33CC00;
background-image:url(../images/buttonbg.gif);
border: 1px solid #598527;
}
(The image tags arent working I guess, so heres the links to them...) and heres the outcome in FF http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1048/coolffkw9.png and then the outcome in IE... http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/342/ffof5.png I think it does this because the buttons in IE get rendered the same as windows vista does it, and in firefox they are rendered differently? I'm not sure. Anyway, how can I fix this horrible mistake to make it look the same as it looks in Firefox? Thanks a lot guys. http://warcraftpress.com/index.php (If it displays a whitepage, revisit the link again) Working on browser compatibility, and well, IE is a stubborn one, yes? For some reason, it places post areas below the right menu, as well as some spacing issues. I've checked in FireFox 3 (which I designed in), Safari, and Opera, but only IE does this issue. (IE7, I mean. I no longer care to support IE6) One other thing I see is the menu items's arrow graphic cuts off in other browsers, I'd say it has to do with the height and other specifications in the CSS, but I do make a mess to try and make something work :P The big arrow graphic (the normal) is at a height of 22, while the small (sub menu) one is 18. Both are in pixel measurements. Thanks a lot in advance for the help! You can find the stylesheet he http://warcraftpress.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css I posted a temp URL for a site he http://www.welcome-home-interiors.net/index2.php I'm having three issues, and I hope someone can help out with one (or all): If you're resolution is higher than 1024x768 resolution, the site appears fine, but if you're at 1024x768 or lower, the page does not scroll. Another issue is that in IE6 & 7 the navigation tabs work fine, but in Firefox all you see is the "HOME" tab (no other ones). The final issue is that in IE6 the main content's text is right up against the main content's picture, but in IE7 & Firefox THAT issue is fine. Here is a link to the CSS file that I'm using: http://www.welcome-home-interiors.n...udes/styles.css Thanks so much for any help that can be offered!... I'm working on reworking my flash site into a CSS/HTML site. Tired of dealing with flash. Anyways....I am working on this page currently and am having trouble getting 3 divs to line up properly in IE. They look great in Firefox! Take a look and let me know if you have any ideas. Any help is much appreciated. Here's the link www .crealities.com/2008/inspiration.htm Hi, I haven't worked with CSS since before the whole Firefox craze and I'm having some compatibility issues when it comes to getting my website to work properly in both IE, Firefox and Safari. I was able to achieve the perfect layout in IE but Firefox and Safari just throw it all out of whack. Are there way to ensure the same output (like linking to W3C or something) or perhaps I'm just doing something wrong. I've posted my code and you can see the difference I'm talking about in both browsers. Code:

Alright. I've got a simple layout - so far just a header in an HTML document with a linked to CSS document. The two interact with one another fine, that's not my problem. My problem lies between Internet Explorer and.. every other browser. As usual. Anyways, here's my header in Internet explorer: and in FireFox: The IE document is more or less what I need the FF to look like. I made some changes to the initially correct documents in FF to work with IE and screwed FF up, and I really have no idea how to sustain both. Now the HTML document: html Code: Original - html Code <head> <style type="text/css"> @import url(style/style.css); </style> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <div id="header"> <form> <input type="text" value="user" id="user"> <input type="password" value="pass" id="user"> <input type="submit" value="Submit" id="submit"> </form> </div> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li class = "active"><a href="index.php">home</a></li> <li><a href="/services">services</a></li> <li><a href="/pricing">pricing</a></li> <li><a href="/jobs">jobs</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">contact us</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> <head> <style type="text/css"> @import url(style/style.css); </style> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <div id="header"> <form> <input type="text" value="user" id="user"> <input type="password" value="pass" id="user"> <input type="submit" value="Submit" id="submit"> </form> </div> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li class = "active"><a href="index.php">home</a></li> <li><a href="/services">services</a></li> <li><a href="/pricing">pricing</a></li> <li><a href="/jobs">jobs</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">contact us</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> annnd the CSS: css Code: Original - css Code /* CSS Document */ body{ font-family:Verdana, sans-serif; text-align:center; margin:0px; } #header{ width:770px; height:69px; background: url(head.png) no-repeat top center; text-align:right; vertical-align:top; padding: 14px 40px 0 0; border-left:url(borderleft.gif); } img { vertical-align: bottom; display: block; } input{ height:18px; padding: 0px; width:70px; } #submit{ font-size:10px; font-weight:bold; } #nav { width:770px; background-color:#d2e3a6; height:24px; padding:0px; font-size:11px; } #nav ul { float: left; width: 770px; background-color:#dse3a6; margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0px 20px; list-style: none; } #nav ul li { float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav ul li a { display: block; float: left; margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 6px 10px 9px 10px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #555; } #nav ul li a:hover { background: #d9d9d9; } #nav ul li.active a, #nav ul li.active a:hover { margin-top: 0; padding-bottom: 10px; background: url(hover.gif) repeat-x bottom right; }
I'd be very appreciative if anybody could point out what's causing this problem. If you need any further information I'd be glad to provide it - note that the header image is blanked out on purpose. Thanks! Hello, I've got a question about CSS3. That are the correct procedures to make my CSS code compatible with all the browsers ? For example, I want that the elements of my website stay identicals on all the browsers. Thank you in advance ! Just testing my new design on IE6 and it doesnt quite work.

hi, ive been creating a website for a project and ive used css throughout. Im not experienced with css but managed to develop a decent front end. My problem is that although it displays perfectly in IE it messes up in netscape. Im not sure which parts of the css conflict. Can anyone suggest anything or point me to some website that may help? Cheers The screenshot from netscape is below, its mainly the footer top line and the navbar which fails to span the full screen width. Netscape screenshot This is one of the pages for comparison Main site Thanks in advance for any help |
