HTML - Browser Cross Compatibility Issues
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? Similar TutorialsHeya, 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. 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 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? 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! 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 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, 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. 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 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. Hello there, I designed a website for a small company and the moment I put it up live, it was working fine. However, the next day I come into work and find that one of the pages have stopped working (It only shows the background and footer), and an image in the welcome intro text on the index.html does not show (as if I didn't code it in at all). This only happens on IE though yet works perfectly fine on Chrome and FireFox. I'm not sure if this is due to IE having it's own personal cache and not updating it properly? Yet if I edit the welcome text to show a new message, it will show that. www.abbeymill.com is the URL and the Function Bookings page is the one which does not show properly. Please view both index.html and the function bookings page in Chrome and IE. I would really love a saviour to help me figure this mind boggling issue out W3C says it all validates fine aswell. Hello, Wonder if you can help, i'm very new to coding, and i have an error in Dreamweaver showing as 'error parsing styles'. It effects IE 6. The code flagged is: body { background-color: #EED38D; background-image: url(images/background.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; a img {border:0; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333; color: #333; } } Hope you can help! Thanks, Joe Working on it now. Thanks. Can someone please offer advice related to http://www.telfordsteamrailway.co.uk...dale/index.php the 'Visit our website' link works in IE & Opera but not SAfari / FF/ Google the page validates - I just cant see why it doesnt work Please see this site http://www.brumbles.net/ If you see it in IE 7 you will see that the top picture is shifted to the left and cut off. If you see it in any lower version browser than 7 its perfect. If you see it in Firefox2 you will see same problem and if you have a version lower than 2 then its fine in that. Can anyone tell how to correct this so it appears good in IE7 and Firefox2 along with other versions. Hi, I have had a new template developed for osCommerce, most browsers display the site correctly such as Firefox but Internet Explorer has some issues. IE shows the site as being aligned differently with some other design issues. I think it may be a problem with the stylesheet. My domain is InkRound.co.uk Here is the CSS code from stylesheet.css My site is using a HTML based template with osCommerce. I've created a blog on tumblr and attached it to a domain I purchased. The problem is it looks absolutely great in Safari (Windows) but not as great in IE or Firefox (Windows). Here is the site in safari, the screenshots mac but its the same on windows. and here is the IE version. The font (Century Gothic) looks terrible compared to the safari version. Tumblr has the feature to edit html but I am not that great with html and have basic knowledge. If anyone wants to see the html I will show them it. If anyone could help me alter the html to make the website look as smooth in IE and Firefox as it does in Safari I would be majorly grateful. Thanks, Danny Hi all, I created a HTML page with CSS. While i ran the code in IE 8.0, the alignment was in order. But when i ran the same HTML code in other lower versions of IE, i am facing some alignment problem like submenu arrangement, displacement in the page contents. Please anybody suggest me with a solution. What is that i should do to rectify it.. Thanks and Regards.. Hi all, im new here and was wondering if you guys could help me out? I work for an email deployment company and we have started working with a new deployment system called YesMail and we have found that some browsers are not compatible with padding so I was wondering if anyone knew what browsers dont support it fully? Thanks in advance. Hi, I have recently downloaded a web template and have been editing it in Dreamweaver CS4.

I do not know where I am going worng with my toolbar / web menu and what I need to change for compatibility. It is written in java but I suspect its some dodgy html code that has be written by me.
