HTML - Cross-browser Problems
I've been designing this site on a mac, and have tested it on several mac compatible browsers without much trouble. I just tried it on IE and a some things are messed up.
http://www.jonniedredge.com First, all my images look really grainy and gross in IE (not just the ones on the home page). Anyone know why that is? Next, on the home page is a .swf file that has a black background, but the background appears white in IE. Also that .swf is in a table cell that should make up just the top corner of that main div, with a height of 50 pixels. But in IE, and FF, this cell takes up about 2/3 the height of the div. Here's my CSS in case that helps: Code: /***************Body, etc.*****************/
body {
background-color: #000000;
font-family: times, serif;
}
#container {
margin: 0 auto;

/***************Bottom Links*****************/

Ideas? This is my first site, so sorry if I'm a little slow with it. Similar TutorialsThis page looks exactly like I want it to in Firefox but not in ie6 or ie7. In ie6 the fieldsets are different heights but I want them to be the same (as in firefox) and in ie7 some of the submit buttons are hidden. Can someone help me with this? Thanks... 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! If you visit http://jacobkelleydesigns.com/other/SE/index.php in Safari, the menu is lined up correctly, yet in Firefox, the contact button drops below the other buttons, leading me to believe the width in the css is incorrect, but it works well in Safari. If I changed it to be wider, it'd work in firefox but not safari I'm assuming. Here is my style sheet. CSS What could be causing this? 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 all. 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. 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>

}

}
Thats all for now. I entitled it 'bugs' because I'm bound to find others Thank you so much in advance for your time/help! *EDIT* Seems to happen to all non-active links: I have created a web page which is running acquratey on IE8 but not running acqurately on IE7 or other version. 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? Hi All, I have tested my site in IE7, firefox and safari, but i've been told i have a problem with IE6. (Which i can't test without uninstalling IE7) www.lahayna.co.uk I'm told the problem is only with the homepage, and with the media page, I've been given a screenshot which i've attached, but i don't know where to go from here. I've tried checking my CSS to ensure my images, padding and margins don't exceed set widths etc, but i've not made any difference so far. Your help is really appreciated, as i'm not getting any further with this site. Thanks Laura 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. Hi folks, I'm slowly but surely getting the layout sorted of my website with CSS + HTML. Now the layout looks great in Firefox 3.6 but IE 7 doesn't like it at all! Anyway let me describe the scenario to you. I have my CSS like so Code: body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #333333;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
text-align: center;
}
/*************************DIV ID's****************************/
#whiteBox {
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 85px;
width: 946px;
height: 666px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: left;
font-weight: normal;
}
#logoBox {
position: relative;
width: 641px;
height: 55px;
top: 33px;
left: 277px;
text-align: right;
}
#navBox {
position: relative;
width: 641px;
height: 50px;
top: 28px;
left: 277px;
text-align: right;
}
#leftBody {
position: relative;
width: 241px;
height: 425px;
top: 55px;
left: 22px;
text-align: left;
}
#rightBody {
position: relative;
width: 641px;
height: 425px;
top: -366px;
left: 277px;
text-align: left;
}
#greenBox {
margin: 0 auto;
/*margin-top: 751px;*/
width: 946px;
height: 28px;
text-align: right;
background-color: #336666;
font-weight: normal;
}
#creditBox {
position: relative;
width: 641px;
height: 20px;
top: 8px;
left:277px;
text-align: right;
font-weight: normal;
}
#socLogoBox {
position: relative;
width: 90px;
height: 20px;
top: -15px;
left: 22px;
text-align: left;
font-weight: normal;
}
And I've laid out the HTML so that the DIV's a nested within the main white and green boxes like so Code: <html> <head> <title>Test layout</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <link href="./css/siteStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <div id="whiteBox"> <div id="logoBox"> <font class="logoA">paulstatham</font><font class="logoB">photography</font> <hr> </div> <div id="navBox"> <p class="navA">HOME | PORTFOLIO | NEWS | PRICING INFORMATION | SHOPPING CART | CONTACT</p> </div> <div id="leftBody"> <font class="secHead1">WELCOME</font> <p class="secText">Bla bla bla</p> </div> <div id="rightBody"> Right Body! </div> </div> <div id="greenBox"> <div id="creditBox"> <font class="credits">(c) 2010 Paul Statham - Privacy Statement - Legal Disclaimer</font> </div> <div id ="socLogoBox"> <img src="./images/fbLogo.png"> <img src="./images/twLogo.png"> </div> </div> </body> </html> Now as I said it looks great in firefox But not so much in IE Can anyone offer some advice? Dear jebus, why does firefox give me 10px margins, when internet explorer dosent, and how do i fix it: Code:
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
background:#ffffff url(bg.gif) top right repeat-y;
font-family:Agency FB, serif;
min-width: 800px;
}
body a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#header {
background:#000000;
color:#0066FF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:110px;
}
#middle {
height:470px;
background-color: #543644;
width:100%;
bottom:0;
color:#ffffff;
text-align:center;
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
height:100px;
background-color: #000000;
width:100%;
bottom:0;
color:#ffffff;
text-align:center;
}

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. Just like everyone else is seeming to have lately, I am apparently one of those lucky people anyways i am having a problem positioning my whole page between browsers. It works just how i want it in firefox (centered kind of), but in ie6, and ie7 its all scrunched to the left. anyways the link to my site is: http://uberwalla.110mb.com It would be greatly appreciated for some help also help on any other browser there might be problems with would be great. If anyone has safari, netscape and opera i mean. to help me format my template. well thanks a bunch! - uberwalla 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* I was planning to use an <embed> tag to include audio files on my website. Is it compatible with almost all browsers and platforms? Is it something I can depend on? |
