HTML - Html Characters / Chrome / Safari Help!
Greetings,
If you access the following website http://www.chrisnieratko.com/ in IE / Firefox, you can view the site perfectly. However, with Chrome / Safari, you can't. You just see a bunch of code with ascii question marks. I know it's missing the doctype declaration, but is it the question marks that make it not visible for those browsers? (Chrome / Safari) When the site's pages are opened in notepad, textpad and notepad++, the question marks aren't there... so how do you eliminate them? Does anybody know of another editor that will view / edit these? Does anybody know if that's even the problem? How did they just appear out of nowhere? Most importantly; How would YOU fix this problem in the easiest way possible? (I'm guessing a certain type of text editor with a search function, then search / eliminate them and re-save the file?) Any help is MUCH appreciated! Thank you so much in advance for your time! Similar TutorialsHi everyone, I have been working on a website here www.ds-installations.co.uk/examples.html. I am nearing the end of design/development but I have a weird display bug in Chrome and Safari. For some reason, the content displays off to the right of the main page? I have checked all the code through the W3C CSS and HTML validators and it all seems fine. I have tested in IE6+, FF and Opera which seem to work fine? I would really appreciate any help on this, I have been looking and tweaking for hours to try and fix it and I can't see anything obvious? Thanks very much in advance for any help! Dan Hello, I have a strange spacing issue that I am having trouble correcting. I have some weird spacing that shows up in Safari and Chrome. Doesn't show up in FF or IE. Look he http://www.digitalsomething.com Under the links in the header you'll see a white gap between the links and the search bar. The odd thing is if you look at the forums, the gap is gone: http://www.digitalsomething.com/forum Any ideas as to what is causing this? well my issue comes when you try to use ctrl-mouswheel to zoom in or out on my page. works fine in ie8 and ff3, but not in chrome and safari. there isnt really a need for this to work, except the fact that no professional website should have such a major error. http:www. fab-tennis .com click the book a lesson tab, its the easiest way to tell since its the longest page i have. sorry for the bright colors. when you zoom in or out, the iframe which is usually fits exactly between my header and footer, shrinks to a small box maybe 500px in height instead of having height:100% of the table cell that it is in. i would reccomend trying the zoom on ff then try it on chrome or safari to see what im talking about.

Basically, Ive agreed to turn someone website, into a joomla template, and then format articles and such until it looks exactly like the original site. This would give them the ability to add their own content without my help(I offered to redo the site, but they like their current one even though its quite bad). All was going well, and I sent out an email to check the progress of the site to the client, and he replied to me that the site was all distorted in Safari. Being a windows programmer, I was used to IE/firefox, Safari and the other browsers never really crossed my mind. Anyway, I downloaded safari, chrome and opera, and tested the sites out. Opera they were fine, but chrome and Safari, some things align WAYYY to the left, almost off screen. I'm guessing it may be a CSS issue, but Ive checked, rechecked, deleted, restored almost everything and its still messed up in those browsers! This is a paying client, so I need to get this sorted out as soon as possible. The pages in question are he http://www.longboardcapital.net/inde......7&Itemid=27 http://www.longboardcapital.net/inde......48&Itemid=2 Ive paused on content creation, as this is a big problem. Have any of you ever experienced the same or similar problem? can you all offer any suggestions? Thank you so much for your help, -Tim My site here is working in FF v3.5.9 but when I just recently loaded it in Safari and Chrome the page just doesn't work. I don't understand why because I developed it and tested it when using Safari and Chrome is built on Webkit too. http://www.meta.projectmio.com/sss.html It seems like a recent thing, but it still works in FireFox so I don't know what's going on? Any ideas? I am working on a website and so far it is coming together the way I intended. Looks good on Chrome, and Safari. IE is not right yet but it looks as expected since I haven't done the IE style sheet yet. However, Firefox is producing a completely unexpected problem. http://nickbogatin.com I will post code but I don't even have an idea as to where the error is yet. Help would be appreciated. Nick It works great in Firefox, IE, and even on my iPhone (Safari), but it's having problems in Chrome and on my friend's Mac (Safari). I have a form with 2 tables inside. The first table is aligned left at 47% of the width. The second table is aligned right at 47% of the width. It should look like this: But instead looks like this in Chrome and Safari...it appears that it's centering both tables instead of aligning them left and right to give 2 separate columns. Any ideas? Here is some of my stripped down code: ----------------------------------- <div id="FormLayer" style="position:absolute; width:680px; height:455px; z-index:3; left: 65px; top: 330px; border:0"> <form action="form.php" method="post" name="orderform" id="orderform"> <input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="email.com"> <input type="hidden" name="required" value="actor:Actor's Name, email:Your Email=confirm:The emails you entered did not match, show:Name of the Show, episode:Your Episode|date:Air Date, character: Character's Name, description: Description of Scenes"> <input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="success.htm"> <table width="47%" align="left" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td><div align="left" class="style3"> <label for="actor"><span class="style2"> Actor's Name:</span></label> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="actor" type="text" id="actor" size="40" maxlength="50"></td> </tr> <table width="47%" align="right" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td><div align="left" class="style3"> <label for="character"><span class="style2"> Character's Name:</span></label> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="character" type="text" id="character" size="40" maxlength="50"></td> </tr> </table> </form> there is my code. any reason why it looks good in chrome/safari but it looks bad in mozilla? in mozilla it has a bunch of lines going through it and the images are all seperated. any help would be much appreciated.

Initally I used the traditional image map method using area maps and the usemap function but it only worked in the webpage itself, and when the webpage shows in an iframe the links are nonexistent. So I sliced my navigation to give the sliced images the url link instead. As usual, they work on their own but when the page is shown in an iframe, some of the links disappear (you can't even hover on them) only in Firefox, Chrome and Safari. But some of the links are also still intact. In IE and Opera they work perfectly fine. Below is the code for the page which contains the navigation and links aforementioned, which will be displayed in an iframe of another page: Code: <!-- ImageReady Slices (mainframe.jpg) --> <table id="Table_01" width="971" height="565" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td rowspan="4"> <img src="images/mainframe_01.gif" width="200" height="531" alt=""" style="z-index:-3;"></td> <td> <a href="defence.html" target="_parent" onmouseover="window.status='STET Defence'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"> <img src="images/mainframe_02.gif" width="332" height="163" border="0" alt="" style="z-index:1;"></a></td> <td rowspan="4"> <img src="images/mainframe_03.gif" width="438" height="531" alt=""></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="163" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="maritime.html" target="_parent" onmouseover="window.status='STET Maritime'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"> <img src="images/mainframe_04.gif" width="332" height="134" border="0" alt="" style="z-index:1;"></a></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="134" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="homelandsec.html" target="_parent" onmouseover="window.status='STET Homeland Security'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"> <img src="images/mainframe_05.gif" width="332" height="138" border="0" alt="" style="z-index:1;"></a></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="138" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <a href="centre.html" target="_parent" onmouseover="window.status='STET Centre'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"> <img src="images/mainframe_06.gif" width="332" height="130" border="0" alt="" style="z-index:1;"></a></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="96" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href="https://mail.stet.com.sg/owa/auth/logon.aspx?url=https://mail.stet.com.sg/owa&reason=0" target="_parent" onmouseover="window.status='Login to Intranet'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"> <img src="images/mainframe_07.gif" width="200" height="34" border="0" alt="" style="z-index:1;"></a></td> <td> <a href="sitemap.php" target="mainframe" onmouseover="window.status='Lost?'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"> <img src="images/mainframe_08.gif" width="438" height="34" border="0" alt=""></a></td> <td> <img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="34" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> <!-- End ImageReady Slices --> <div id="pict" style="position:absolute;top:200px;left:10px;z-index:0;"> <iframe name="news" src="news.php" FRAMEBORDER=no name="frame" allowTransparency scrolling=auto style="filter:chroma (color=#FFFFFF)" width="185" height="90"></iframe> </div> There is another iframe in this page which I wonder might be causing the problem.

I need some serious help, I have no idea what to check: www.enviral-design.com go to th galleries page, and see what I mean. if you are in Safari or Chrome, it loads exactly like it's supposed to(for me at least) However, on IE or Firefox the gallery page loads all stretched, and as soon as you click on any thumbnails or spry accordion tabs the page just explodes!! what gives?? I've replaced the css for the accordion spry panels with deault DW css, no luck. same with the .js file that the accordions use, also no luck.... I have no idea what to do, or where to start.... anyone?? please help me out!! thanks for your time, Lucas http://www.yandina.com/JIndex.htm Open in Firefox, Chrome or Safari - - - that is what it is supposed to look like. Open in IE and the last table get overlaid on top of the previous table. What sort of things can cause that? Additional (unrelated I think) problem, IE is not accessing cookies but others are fine. What can cause that? Hi, Facing a strange issue. My html page contains a div element with fixed height and width and its overflow property set as hidden. as shown below: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Insert title here</title> </head> <body> <div style="height: 200px;width: 400px; border: 3px coral solid; overflow: hidden;"> <input type="text" value="AAAAAAA" /> I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit I am rahul working to counter special feature of safari Web tool kit 111 111 232 23 23 232 32 3 <input type="text" value="1111111" /> <input type="text" value="1111111" /> <input type="text" value="1111111" /> <input type="text" value="1111111" /> <input type="text" value="1111111" /> </div> </body> </html> Now if you open this html page in safari or chrome. As the content of the div is overflowing and div's overflow property is set as hidden so no scrollbar is displayed(as desired). Set focus on input type text, keep mouse pressed and drag the mouse. You will observe that div's content starts scrolling(which was not desired). Now open this page in ff/Ie and perform same operation content does not scrolls(desireable). How can I make sure that div's content does not scrolls in safari too. Code spinet will help. You can test this by copy pasting the html content in a test page and open in safari or chrome? Thanks, Regards Hi, I try to display my string "as is" in HTML page. I know the solution is escape characters. I know I can use a couple of pairs, like this Code: strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(38), "&") strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(60), "<") strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(62), ">") strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(10), "<br />") strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(34), """) strResult = ReplaceCharacters(strSource, chr(160), " ") which should be pretty easy to understand, just replaces characters with HTML escape characters. How about replacing a tab (chr(11)) with HTML code? Is there any escape character for that? Is there some others that I should add to my code? I am a beginner and I used blogger in Chrome to create a blog. When I checked how it looked in IE it was horrible. The banners and some images did not move over correctly which I have hosted on photobucket. Can somebody look at my code and help me format it to IE. Are there special characters like hearts or...whatever that can be done in html. Hi All, I have a really irritating problem. I have written some code in HTML, and bits of it use the left square bracket, ( [ ). When I paste it into an online web editor, and upload I go to the site and the code does not work properly. I look at the source code and the web editor automatically changed the left square bracket to the HTML escape character equivalent [. Is there something I can put in the code to stop this from happening? I have no control over the web editor and even if I go into the web editor and replace [ with [, upload and refresh the same issue happens! I know all the easy ones like hearts and spades, but i want to do the really cool ones like crowns and clouds for myspace. This site has them: http://www.bigbaer.com/sidebars/entities/ but it only has the numbers and i need the words [ex. it has &1321442; instead of &blahh; ]. And myspace only accepts the word codes so can anyone either tell me how to convert the numbers into letters or give me some help on this?! -The actualy characters i want are stars and crowns HI, I am trying to fix a webpage ( http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/labs/maps/ ) which uses some pretty complex html (atleast for me) to show pop ups when you rollover the numbers on a map of the building. They work fine in IE and Fire Fox but dont work properly in Safari. Any ideas on why it acts funny in Safari? Here is the code used to show the pop up for one of the numbers on the map. <!-- BEGIN POPUP CODE _MWAH 177_ --> <div class="test-popup"> <div id="lab-title" class="pdiv"> <p class="ptitle">MWAH 177</p> </div> <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px"> <tr><td> <div id="lab-info" class="pdivnob"> <p class="pinfo"><img src="pcicon.jpg"><img src="bwprinticon.jpg"><span class="pinfot">TODAY'S HOURS:</span> 8:00am - 8:00pm</p> </div> </td></tr></table> <table class="pinner" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid black; border-top: 1px solid black" width="100%"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <div id="lab-info2" class="pdivnob"> <p class="pinfo"><span class="pinfot">CURRENT AVAILABILITY:</span></p> </div></td> <td valign="middle"> <img src="http://labstats.d.umn.edu:8080/PieChart?lab=6&title= " height="90" border="0" align="middle"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"> <img src="key.jpg"> </td> </tr> </table> <div id="lab-links" class="pdiv"> <p class="plinks"><span class="pinfot"><a href="http://labstats.d.umn.edu:8080/public/public.swf?map_id=4&lab_id=6&srv=http://labstats.d.umn.edu:8080" target="_blank">ROOM VIEW</a> | <a href="https://summit.d.umn.edu/r25/html/Computer_Labs.html" target="_blank">SCHEDULE</a> | <a href="#10" target="_self">LAB INFO</a></span></p> </div> </div> <!-- END POPUP CODE --> I want to embed a social media block on my page that has all the little buttons and all the little links happy together.
