CSS - Safari Vs. Ie Rendering Problem - Arrgghhhh
hi all,
having a problem with browser compatibility here... 3 lousy pixels makes the difference between one of my divs being knocked to another row in safari, vs. a perfect lineup in IE. have a look: http://www.offsitedbs.com the column at the bottom entitled "security" is a big div that gets knocked to another row in safari if i try to have it line up perfectly in IE (pc)... BUT, if i knock the width back a few pixels to line it up in safari, it's not flush in IE. code for the divs: <div class='bottomDiv'> <div class='bottomTitle'><img src="IMAGES/arrow.gif">Remote Services</div> <p class='bottomDesc'>Offsite Database Administration and Offsite Server Management.</p> <p class='bottomText'>At Offsite DBA Services we focus ... any potential problem.</p> </div> <div class="bottomDiv"> <div class='bottomTitle'><img src="IMAGES/arrow.gif">Onsite Services</div> <p class='bottomDesc'>OffSite offers a free comprehensive report on the state of your database at no extra cost to your company.</p> <p class='bottomText'>We take ... its optimal level.<br></p> </div> <div class="bottomDiv"> <div class='bottomTitle'><img src="IMAGES/arrow.gif">Security</div> <p class='bottomDesc'>Offsite DBA Services uses the latest SSL technologies to manage your database through secure connections and proven technologies.</p> <p class='bottomText'>Network technologies ... from snoops.<br></p> </div> and the css for the 'bottomdiv's: .bottomDiv { background-color: #F0F0F0; height: 262px; width: 193px; float: left; border-left: solid 1px #FFF; border-bottom: solid 1px #FFF; background-image:url(../IMAGES/bottomBG.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; background-position:bottom; border-top: solid 1px #FFF; padding: 0px; vertical-align: top; } any & all help is very appreciated! thanks, nunzio Similar TutorialsHello. I just created my first web layout using DWCS4 with CSS. On desktop browsers, it view great. However, when I view it on my iphone, the divs are not connected and a line is shown. The line goes away when I pinch in to view but reappears when I zoom back out. How can I fix this? My header div and content div contains an image and are set to no borders. hello. i'm using a CSS tutorial and DREAMWEAVER to build a website. i find that the site is interpreted the way i would like it in either Firefox or Safari...but not in IE. When links are hovered over while using IE, the page distorts. has anyone experienced this type of problem before? thank you in advance for your time and assistance! i did post several explanatory screenshots to illustrate the problem. replace each "@" with a period. mea culpa. www@wwpea@net/screenshots@htm If you go to the example site: devbum.com/coded/audven/ The top navigation seems to be pushed upwards in Windows Safari and Google Chrome and not centered like in FF, IE6, IE7, and Opera. I'm not sure why it's doing this though... does it also render differently on Mac Safari? 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: body { background: #EBEBEB; behavior:url("csshover.htc"); } #menu * { font-family: Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size:12px; color:white; } /* the menu */ #menu ul,#menu li,#menu a { display:block; margin:0; padding:0; border:0; } #menu ul { width:150px; background:#5B3C66; list-style:none; } #menu li { position:relative; padding:1px; padding-left:10px; background:url("menuicoon.gif") no-repeat; z-index:9; } #menu li.folder { background:url("menuicoon.gif") no-repeat; } #menu li.folder ul { position:absolute; left:120px; /* IE */ top:5px; border:1px solid #9d9da1; } #menu li.folder>ul { left:140px; } /* others */ #menu a { padding:2px; border:0; text-decoration:none; color:white; font-weight:normal; width:100%; /* IE */ } #menu li>a { width:auto; } /* others */ #menu li a.submenu { } /* regular hovers */ #menu a:hover { border-color:gray; background-color:#8F8FCB; color:black; } #menu li.folder a:hover { background-color:#8F8FCB; } /* hovers with specificity */ #menu li.folder:hover { z-index:10; } #menu ul ul,#menu li:hover ul ul { display:none; } #menu li:hover ul,#menu li:hover li:hover ul { display:block; } Hi guys, Maybe some of you could shed some light on this little problem. I'm currently working on a site redesign, the page in question can be found HERE. When hovering over the ZOOM button in Opera the mouseover image is partially hidden, and in one particular case (2nd ZOOM button down) after rolling off the image the mouseover image partially remains. Works fine in Firefox and Safari (been unable to test in IE yet) I'm guessing the problem comes down to z-index but my understanding of it is pretty poor. Any insight would be much appreciated (yes the coding's messy... it's a work in progress ) Thanks! For a project I'm working on, for whatever reason, I cannot get that left side at the top. It appears fine in Opera 6, but in that browser, the content is far to the right. I've been dealing with this all day. Usually, I do have minor problems with getting the float right, but I usually figure it out. For the life of me, though, I cannot figure out what I'm missing. Any ideas out there? I appreciate it. Tim Trice I have a table which has three rows of one cell each. I have specified the height of each cell by a class referring to an external stylesheet. There are two other classes which may be relevant, one in an internal stylesheet, and one referring to the same external stylesheet. In Firefox and Internet Explorer 5.2 (the latest available for the Mac, as far as I know), these cells are displayed correctly, but in Safari, they cut off at the bottom of the text in the box, and are therefore not the correct height. Can anyone help me correct this, please? This is the code: Code: <STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen> <!-- .rbc { color: white; background-color: maroon; } --> </STYLE> <tr class="rb2"> <td class="rbc"> <div class="squash">some text<br /></div> <div class="squash">some more text<br /></div> <div class="squash">yet more text<br /></div> <div class="squash">guess what? some more text!<br /></div> </td> </tr> This is the CSS: Code: .rb2 { height: 133px; vertical-align: top; } .squash { line-height: 85%; } There are other differences, all with Internet Explorer not behaving properly, but I'll do one question at a time, or it'll get confusing! Thanks in advance. Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. I am new to CSS and just trying to learn as much as i can as i go. I am currently working on a website and having a small problem with my drop down menus. It works great in Firefox, but in Safari when i hover over the drop down, it shifts to the left by a few pixels. I haven't added the IE workaround yet because i wanted to get this sorted before doing that so it won't work in IE yet. I would post a link but can't because i'm too new.

I've attempted to put an imagemap on my homepage using CSS. There is a main background image and there are a bunch of tiny images that are hidden, but then appear over the top of the main image when you move the mouse over them. You can view the page online - it's the main homepage of my website: www (dot) midwood (dot) net (It's the page w/ the mountain background, etc). This HTML and CSS are both valid according to W3.org. The code works fine (as expected) on both IE6 and Firefox. If you want to see the effect I'm looking for, use one of those browsers and you'll get the idea. The problem I'm running into is that it doesn't work in Safari. The tiny images do show up in the right place when you roll over the correct spot, but they are not initially hidden (as they are in IE or FF). I'd appreciate it if somebody with more CSS knowledge than me took a look at my code for the homepage . Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong that is causing it not to work in Safari? Or is it just a Safari rendering bug? If it is a bug in Safari's rendering, is there a workaround so that I can get the desired effect on all three browsers? Thanks. Was hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm having with margins on this site robertehowarddirectory.com/viewcat.php?category=Art In safari, the margins between each of the "featured" listings is 30px when it should be 8 (4 on the top of each listing, and 4 on the bottom). This jacks up the layout of the site, pushing the featured listings too low, as you can see. IN IE 7, 8 and Firefox, I have no problems, and the site displays fine. Would appreciate any help on this issue, as I've been trying to solve the problem but have not found a solution. Thank you. Currently my site, http://www.kasiaozga.com , works correctly in Firefox on mac and Windows and in ie for mac and Windows. However, in Safari, the mid section of the navigation bar on the main page (index.html) appears incorrectly on the page. I would really appreciate it if any Safari users could take a look at the page and recommend a solution to enable the page to display correctly. Thanks! -Kasia Hey everyone, I have a site I'm working on for a charity hosted he apoctrack . com/craftsforacause I'm using Dreamweaver and the included Spry framework to render the tabs, and everything seems to be working fine in Firefox, but the background won't render correctly in Safari. Help!? The stylesheet is he url above with /index.css An older version of the site worked fine in both Safari and Firefox, and I've compared the code but found nothing... The old site is he url above /index_classic.html and /index_classic.css Any help would be appreciated! Thx in advance... Well... sorry about the poorly formatted url but the anti-spam rules seem to mean I must post 5 useless posts in order to post anything of substance (with a url). So yeah. I did a diff on the stylesheets but that's hard to post here, so I can try if it'd be useful. Prolly easier to run it urself it it'd be helpful. Nothing useful came up when I tried it. Same for the html pages themselves. Howdy! I'm using the Jello mold layout from P.I.E. and I have it working GREAT on a couple other projects with no real issues (with Safari or anything else for that matter), but I do have a problem in this one project. take a look he http://pnlab.soundwebdev.com/changetheme-xSixteen.phtml Now - there are a few other issues, but the one I am focussing on here is that Safari is basically completely non-functional on the main (right) column. I can't click the links, I can't select the text - its like there is a transparent layer over the top of everything on the right - but only in safari. This (oddly enough) works great in IE and even firefox! Obviously, there is only one way for you see the issue and that is to view the page in Safari (I'm using 2.0 - 412.2, btw). So, screenshots or visiting the page from any other browser won't help. Thanks in advance if you can help! Hi guys.. I have a script that spits out a series of divs.. The first 'wrapper' Div is position:relative, and I have placed other divs inside it, positioning them using position: absolute; left: 20px, etc... It renders perfectly on all my tested browsers, and yet when I make the script repeat, so that each div-set is loaded from the database, they just stack on top of each other on the page, rather than underneath each other.. All I am really doing is stacking divs, I thought that whatever went on in the 'child' divs didnt affect the parents ?? Like so: Code: <div style="position: relative;"> <div style="position: absolute; left: 20px; top: 40px;"> some content </div> <div style="position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 40px;"> other content </div> </div> Ive tried setting things like display: block;, clear: both, etc, but the sets of divs just 'pile' on top of each other... Any ideas :/ Many thanks, Mike. So, here's what I've got: http://www.anthonycarboni.com The header is supposed to appear 50 pixels high, flush with the top (no margins), with the header text middle aligned inside of it. This is working in IE 6 and 7, but is not working well in FF (mac/pc) or in Safari. Here is all code that pertains to that section. It is sure to be woefully poor, as I'm just getting into CSS: Code: body { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; font-family: 'ArialMT', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1.00; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; min-width: 800px; } .main{ background-color: #202020; width: 800px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left; } .header{ height: 50px; background-image: url('images/header.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat; } p.headline { font-size: 32px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: center; letter-spacing: 0.8em; vertical-align: middle; } And there you have it. I'm tearing my hair out over what I'm sure is some small thing that anyone with experience would notice immediately. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I am trying to get a 2 column layout to work across all browsers and I ran into a strange problem with center in Safari (or what Safari looks like according to the screenshot at http://www.snugtech.com/safaritest/) The page aligns correctly in my version of IE and Firefox.

In Safari the table is centering inside the container div "container" and sometimes behind the float right div "thumb_block." you can see it live at link here is the code Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>images</title> <BASE href="http://jasonhalac.com/picture_gallery/"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link href="/imagerollover.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <link href="images.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body"> <div id="top_image"> </div> <div align="left" id="list_tabs">header content</div> <div id="container"> <div id="thumb_block"> thumb block float right fixed width thumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed width widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed width widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed width widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed width widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed widththumb block float right fixed width</div> <div id="image_block"> <p>image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block</p> <table width="200" border="1" align="center"> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td>test</td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> <p> image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image block image blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage blockimage block</p> </div> </div> <div id="tipDiv" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:100"></div> </body> </html> and css Code: #container{ margin: 0px; border: 0px; height: 600px; width: 915px; } #thumb_block{ width: 310px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: right; } #image_block{ margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px; } 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. 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 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!
