HTML - Help Browser Compatability Issues!
Hi, I'm new around here and need some help I've been dabberling with web development since 98 (had a rather large gap when pursuing a more artist approach but that's another story!) Recently I have been trying to launch an online apparel company myself and my partner have been working a site relaunch over the past fortnight and have stumbled across a huge problem that neither of us can rectify.
Our site www.n-brio.com works picture perfect in chrome, safari and ie 8 but not in opera or firefox! Now the kicker is locally on both our computers it does but as soon as we look at it remotely thru those browsers half the site is not being recognised. We have checked code and even tried a different web host and still no head way! Are we missing something really obvious? Any suggestions would be amazing. Cheers Knatalie Similar Tutorialsi constructed my webpage using div tags and tables. when inserting the content (flash menu, text, pics) into the table, the page looks fine in Internet Explorer. However, when viewed in Mozilla Firefox, the content is not aligned properly. How can I make the content uniform in both browsers? this site secretsoffitnessrevealed.com the menu bar links show up correctly in firefox but they show up vertically in IE and the home link doesnt work all together anything that wud fix it? heres the code HTML Code: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://wiseones.50webs.com/Css"> <style type="text/css"> body { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-position: center top;} p { font-size: 1; } h1 {display: block; background-color: #D1CCC6; font-size: 12pt; Text-transform: none; color: black; letter-spacing: 0px; font-family: tahoma; } h2 {text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; text-transform:none; } a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12 pt; color: #000000; text-transform:uppercase; } a:hover { background-color: none; font-weight: bold; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 7pt; color: #1B2B00; text-transform:uppercase; } </style> <title>Isometric Exercise Secrets Revealed</title> <meta name="description" content="Energizing Isometrics is the complete health and fitness program which can be performed in only 5 minutes a day!"> <meta name="keywords" content="health,fitness,muscle,musclebuilding,strength,abs,sixpack,fatloss,weightloss,isometrics,sports,benchpress,weights,exercise,antiaging,physicalfitness,aging,youth,flexibility,strong,power,energy,nutrician,isometricsexercise,menshealth,womenshealth,isometric,workout"> <meta name="author" content="Energizing Isometrics"> <meta name="email" content="energizingisometrics@gmail.com"> </head> <body> <center><div style=" width: 652 px; "> <!--BACKGROUND--> <font size="1"> <body background="Untitled-2.jpg"> <!--TOP BANNER--> <img src="http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l77/Xtron12/best-viewed-in-frefox.gif"><BR> <center><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/rc20sj.jpg"><BR><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/10qmow7.jpg"></center> <!--MENU--> <div style="position: absolute; left: 500; top: 155px; " <a href="http://secretsoffitnessrevealed.com/index.html">Home</a> :: <a href="scienceofisometrics.html">Isometric Science</a> :: <a href="http://secretsoffitnessrevealed.com/testimonials.html">Testimonials</a> :: <a href="http://secretsoffitnessrevealed.com/buy.html">Buy</a> </div> <!--CONTENT BOX 76334a</div>--> <center> <div style="float: center; width: 800px; height: 970px; background-color: #EDEDED; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px; "><h1>About the Program</h1> <h2>Energizing Isometrics is a complete exercise program which can be performed in as little as 5 minutes a day!

I'm working on developing a site mostly for practice now, and I'm stumped by the prospect of cross-browser compatibility. My first inclination was to use javascript to write a stylesheet declaration for each browser type and then create each stylesheet so that it is styled for each particular browser. Then I discovered the horrendous rendering differences between even different VERSIONS of the same browsers. The most notable hiccup-fest I've encountered has been IE6 and IE7. IE6 seems to go berserk at just about every possible attribute for the div tag. This means that my styles for IE7 won't display correctly in IE6. So my question is pretty simple. Is the only way for me to make cross-browser compatibility a reality for me to create about 12 different versions of the same stylesheet? I'd really love to avoid that if possible. Alternatives would be much loved. Also, I'm currently using the XHTML 1.1 doctype. Would it be a big no-no for me to simply emphasize that my code conforms to the latest standards and any rendering errors are probably due to an out of date browser? I know this would alienate some users, but as the same time, I also feel that users should be encouraged to upgrade. Hey guys, I have designed my site using firefox as my default browser. My site looks exactly as I want in all of the following; Firefox, Chrome and Safari but IE 8 shifts my JS links. the site in question is: http://for-rent-nerja.co.uk Can anyone shed any light on why? I have tried in IE8's 'compatablilty mode' and whilst this improves the layout it does not change the link positioning! IE8 is a joke! I have this code in my js which is located http://www.for-rent-nerja.co.uk/hvmenu/exmplmenu_var.js which defines the links, and this defines the left positioning ' var StartLeft=-8; ' - if I set that to ' var StartLeft=0; ' that aligns it in IE8 but knocks it out of line in the other 3. Any suggestions on how to sort this out would be warmly received! Thanks guys! Jamie Hi - Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out layout problems on the following page: www.marchgallery.com/comments.php I'm designing on a mac, and everything looks good in Safari. When I open up in Firefox, though, the comments are way below the intro text and the layout of the submission form is all messed up. I've never experienced this much difference in appearance between these two browsers. Maybe someone (nearly all of you) are viewing on PC? How does it look on that end? I'm really at a loss here. Any clues or suggestions would be much appreciated! well, im using these weird codes to make my site look the way i want... but it only works in some broswers. i need a much more compatible code. any help? ok well i worked this out. but it dosent seem to work properly in some browsers. its all acceptable w3. please help... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Get Lit, A Clothing Company</TITLE> <META http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <META name="keywords" content=""> <META name="description" content=""> <STYLE type="text/css"> #main {position:absolute; left: 400px; top: 245px; width: 700px; height: 700px; z-index: 100 } img.floatLeft { float: left; margin: 4px; } img.floatRight { float: right; margin: 4px; } </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgcolor=FFFFFF> <P align=center> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=900 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD align=center valign="top"></TD></TR><TR><TD align=center valign="top"> <A href="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/home.htm" target=main><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/gohome.gif" border=0></A><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/spacer.gif"><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/spacer.gif"><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/spacer.gif"><A href="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/blog.htm" target=main><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/nav_001.gif" border=0></A><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/spacer.gif"><A href="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/catalog.htm" target=main><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/nav_002.gif" border=0></A><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/spacer.gif"><A href="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/about.htm" target=main><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/nav_004.gif" border=0></A><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/spacer.gif"><A href="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/contact.htm" target=main><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/nav_005.gif" border=0></A><BR><P align=left><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/splice1.gif" class="floatLeft"><P align=right><IMG alt="" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/content.gif"></P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=900 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD align=right valign="top"></TD></TR><TR><TD align=right valign="top"><iframe id="main" src="http://www.freewebs.com/stevenwang/home.htm" name="main" style="width:600px;height:600px;margin:0px;" frameborder="0" scrolling=no></iframe></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></BODY></HTML> One of the pages on my website shows up differently in Firefox than it does in other web browsers. Here is what it looks like in the following browsers. Google Chrome, Safari: Firefox: One of the most noticeable problems is that in Firefox, the form's submit button is missing. If you would like to look at the html code, the url is Nmacro.com/Contact.html. Also, I used iWeb to create my website. Thanks so much. Hi All - Check out www.theSalve.org/flashVid.htm - Any ideas why the layout is different in Explorer and Firefox or even Safari and Opera for that matter. I realize I'm not using CSS. Don't know how to yet. Anything I can add to make it look the same on all browsers? i have resolved this thanks Hi, I am working on my website with my limited knowledge of HTML. As I am using frames I've found that my website will not appear in some browsers (namely firefox, which I find unusual as its usually excellent). It works fine in safari (i'm on a mac). the site is www.sambrewster.co.uk I'm creating a noframes site too so the option is there. I thought it might have something to do with the character encoding? Any help or pointers would be excellent! Just to know where I've gone wrong would be great. Thanks very much Hey, I'm having a small problem with cross browser compatibility. In Internet Explorer my site looks exactly the way I want it to, no problems. However, in Firefox and Opera there is a space between the navigation and the content. I investigated my code and can't pinpoint the problem. Can you tell me what it is? So if you could just tell me the problem with no example, URL, or code that'd be great. I'm just kidding. The URL is TeamFlank.info. Here is some screen shots of it... IE: *click to enlarge* FF: *click to enlarge* Hello, I designed this website http://www.aitputd.org/conference and found that it has compatibility issues when viewed with different browsers. e.g. The 'font' of the menu changes (becomes bold) when viewed in IE and Chrome browsers as opposed to FF3.5 Also The title 'sponsors' on the left does not stay at the center in IE and FF3.5 but seems good in Chrome. Is there a solution to address these problems?? Any help is highly appreciated. Regards, NP Hello, quick question here. I'm working on this site: (replace @'s with a's) v@rd@burstyn.com/version2/ The previous designer left it in a bit of a mess, and now that I've made some changes that appear nicely in my Safari browser, the tables are hugely misaligned when I look at a number of the pages in Firefox (i.e., water.html or rites.html). Any advice as to how to get the tables back under control? I've tried for a while but nothing seems to fix it. Thanks very much in advance. Hey, I'm having issues with coding a website to be cross-compatible with Firefox and Internet Explorer (views fine in Firefox). I'm a BS artist when it comes to web design, and I could really use some help. The site is at this address: www.thepynebros.com It views correctly in Firefox, however, Internet Explorer distorts the font sizes, and will not wrap the CuteNews script around the picture of the trees on the index page. Can someone help me out? What am I doing wrong? Heya, I'm working on my new website design for http://nickerson.biz and all was going good. Came to the point where I check compatibility in all browsers. Figured everything would be fine since its 100% xhtml transitional valid. Turns out IE ****s it up real bad. Has 5 noticeable things that SHOULD NOT be happening. Site looks great in FF, but IE... I can't figure out whats going wrong. http://i42.tinypic.com/nntyly.png Ideas? View source to see coding, all seems fine. Hello. =) I'm trying to create a small website for my family, and I want to incorporate this drop-down menu from Sons of Suckerfish. I had some help altering the menu a bit, but I'm still having a few problems. =( I'm testing my site in as many browsers as possible, and I came across two major problems: Problem #1: The Top Menu It doesn't work in IE6. The menu keeps jumping VERY far to the right. Also, the words "Home", "By Year", etc. should change color when hovered on. You can observe the differences between IE6 and Firefox below, in these images I made: Menu (mouse issues; example #1) Menu (mouse issues; example #2) =================================== =================================== Problem #2: The "Thanks" Section My "Thanks" section isn't looking right, either. For some reason, Netscape won't space the image away from the text: Image (how "Thanks" page looks in IE, Firefox, and Netscape) I know Netscape Navigator is pretty much "extinct" now, but I'm still curious to know what the problem is. I'm guessing the problem is the "display: inline-box" code in my DIV tag. Is there another code I can use to fix this problem, or maybe there's a hack I can use for Navigator? Or...should I stop using DIVs and acheive the same effect another way (like with a table or something)? I really hope someone can help. Thanks in advance! I have a nice little HTML5 demo that plays a video in a canvas that is not displayed. As part of the demo, I copy "frames" from the hidden canvas into a resized canvas that is displayed. My "custom" code to manipulate the video frames works fine. What doesn't work depends on the browser, but also the source of the video. If the source of the video is on the local disk along with the html file, it plays fine and it loops fine in both Safari, Chrome. Opera and Firefox. If the source of the video is on the web, either as a local (to the website) where the html file is stored, or if the html file is local but the video is on the web, then Safari works fine. Chrome displays the video ONE time and then stops. The loop does not work. Remember, same code, works fine if all data is local. Changing the source URL of the video to a website is the ONLY change. Opera and Firefox do not display anything except the box rectangle when the video source is on the web. Firefox gives the error: Quote: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D.drawImage]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///Volumes/Olorin/sliceNdice/demow.html :: processFrame :: line 34" data: no] No errors show up in Opera, but no video is displayed.

Chrome works to play the video ONCE, then stops. Firefox and Opera show an empty outline, but no video. I'm not a cross-browser expert. I will accept any and all possible solutions to try. In the meantime, I will continue to see if I can find the problem. Obviously, I want it to work from a website. Guys, Please help me. Following website www.blaizekitchens.co.uk Looks fine in Mozilla But goes horribly wrong in iexplorer Can't work out what the hell is causing this! Can someone please point me in the right direction Cheers Damon Hello, I've got a simple page with frames and a list of links. I'm trying to get hyperlinks to open into a frame called "PicFrame." The code I've got works (opens the link into the PicFrame) in IE8, FF, Opera, and Chrome, but not IE6 or IE7 which is what my 2 computers use most-frequently. Does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround? A fragment of the simple code is below. Thanks.
