HTML - Web Browser Compatibility Issue

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.

i have resolved this thanks

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?

I just found out that a site I built for a nonprofit isn't working properly on Internet Explorer or Firefox. It does work on Safari. It appears the client-side image maps are the problem. I used <map> and <area> inside <img>. Here is some of my code:

<img src="About.jpg" width="1100" height="825" usemap="about" />
<map name="about" />
<area shape="rect" coords="285,29,316,50" href="" title="HOME" alt="Home" />
<area shape="rect" coords="383,29,460,50" href="" title="FOR TEACHERS" alt="For Teachers" />
</map>

(URLs removed intentionally to protect client's privacy.)

I was going by the book, Beginning HTML, XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript, by John Duckett, published in 2010. According to this book, this is the recommended type of image map. It says this code should be compatible with today's most popular browsers.

So does this type of image map simply not work on Internet Explorer and Firefox? Or is there something wrong with my code? What type of image map does work with all the major browsers?

Hi,

I have recently downloaded a web template and have been editing it in Dreamweaver CS4. I created a web menu via an application I bought online and intergrated that into the webpage.

It displays out of line in Dreamweaver however appreas to work fine (everything in line) in IE 7.

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.

The website is www.ritzphoto.net/newsite/

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

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.

Ideas?

View source to see coding, all seems fine.

Hi everyone. New to the forums and thought I could get some help with regards to my personal website http://judyhuynh.ca

Anyways, the problem is the browser compatibility. Just when I thought everything looked OK, I checked it out on my other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera) but there was one problem with IE. I use Cutenews for blogging and it does not show the line breaks in between paragraphs and it does not show my .png profile picture on the left of the sidebar where there's the quick bio.

http://browsershots.org/http://judyhuynh.ca/

Line breaks in Cutenews are generated automatically when typing paragraphs. So I don't know and the .png thumbnail on the left, nooo idea about that.

It irritates me because it just looks so ugly on IE, ahha and some people still use that 'not-so-great' browser.

Help is much appreciated!!!

I have a music blog on blogger (http://mildtowild.blogspot.com) and I recently found out using browser shots that my site does not look right in IE. (CURSE YOU IE!). I have a lot of code and css, and am not quite sure where to start looking. I do not believe my page is html or xhtml compliant, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible to make any blog from blogspot 100% compliant. I'm pretty sure I have closed all my tags properly and my css is correctly structured. I am just puzzled as to how it can look so perfect in firefox and safari, and then be radically different in all IE versions.

I have included screenshots of what it looks like in both browsers, also feel free to view the source on my page, and if any of you have any suggestions as to what to check or try, please be my guest. Thanks for looking!

Hey all,

[moved to CSS forum]

Okay so it may be that I'm just overly tired or just overly wrong in how I coded this one page, but I need you help.

I've been working with CSS for quite awhile-using a CSS sheet to populate HTML code that entirely relied on DIV IDs. I have also been using relative positioning until now. I mention this because for the most part this worked in creating mostly identical layouts between IE8, Firefox 3.5, and Safari 3.

Today, I decided to code a page using mostly DIV STYLE tags instead of editing the CSS page. I thought this might be more efficient, and it certainly was easier to code. I also used absolute tags instead of relative.

Using Dreamweaver CS4's live view everything displayed as it should. So I uploaded it all in Safari and again-everything displayed as it was designed. However, IE8 seemed to display all of the content that was positioned absolutely about 50px too far to the right. Firefox-normally my friend-wouldn't even display to top portion of the page. Since the majority of hits are IE8 (sigh) I have just temporarily coded it to display correctly within that browser-but I need help to figure out what to change so that such a compromise doesn't need to occur.

The page is live at my site http://qwertcorp.com/reactivate . There you can see the CSS and HTML code. I will post the raw code in here in a few minutes.

I know these are probably just rookie (read: stupid/sloppy) mistakes, but I really want to learn how to avoid this.

Thanks so much in advance!

How do you use make it so the space between BULLETS (HTML DISC) does not have such a large space between the lines when viewing between INTERNET EXPLORER and Any other browser like Firefox??

http://www.camarosource.ca/main_new_...new_layout.htm

Right side "Recent Posts". You'll notice that if you view with Firefox that it shows the words close to get on top of each other.

HOWEVER, View the same link in INTERNET EXPLORER and you'll soon discover it's now what's almost 1 more line inbetween the top words and the ones below them.

How can I STOP THIS?? If I make it fit in Firefox, it's WAY too high in IE cause it adds another line. If I make it fit in IE, it's like 3/4 the height of the area for Firefox.

Thanks!

I am a novice web admin. I am having an issue with placing a sign up form on my web site. It look good in IE8 or FF, but anything older (IE7) it looks horrible. See Attachments. Here is the code that I have:

<ul class="site-nav2">
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<FORM "ACTION="https://app.expressemailmarketing.com/Survey.aspx?SFID=75036" METHOD="POST">
<div align="center"><span class="style6 style5"> <FONT FACE="arial, helvetica">Sign up for our Mailing List
</FONT></span>
</span><BR>
<input type="TEXT" name="email" />
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" SRC="images/sign_up.gif" ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE" BORDER="0" />
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="SkipSurvey" VALUE="FALSE" />
</div>
</FORM>

</ul>


Here is what I have for that site-nav2 CSS:

.site-nav2 {
position:absolute;
right:10px;
top:519px;
width:234px;
height: 111px;
visibility: visible;
overflow: visible;
border: 0;
border-width: 0;
background-image: url(images/signup.png);
}
.site-nav2 li {
font-family:"Arial Narrow", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:12pt;
line-height:normal;
text-transform:lowercase;
color: #000000;
}
.site-nav2 li a {
text-decoration:none;
color:#917E65;
padding-left:36px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left 7px;
}
.site-nav2 li a:hover, .site-nav2 li a.act {
color:#A43812;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left 7px;
background-image:url(images/signup.jpg)
}

I'm making an email newsletter for a client and I'm having trouble with the links in Internet Explorer. They work on my macs, but my client has internet explorer and says the links won't click. Can someone take a look at the source of the email and let me know what I'm doing wrong. It's the two coupons in the middle of the email. I made the entire tables that make up the coupons the links, which I think might be the issue, but I don't have easy access to a pc to troubleshoot so I thought I'd just come on here and ask the experts. Here is the link:

www.thetargetshopper.com/email/wafflehouse/WaffleHeletterJAN09.html


here's the code I think might be the issue:
<a href="http://www.thetargetshopper.com/email/wafflehouse/coupon2.html" style="text-decoration:none; color:#000">
<table width="270" style="float:right; margin:8px 8px 8px 0px">

<td bgcolor="#fef200" style="border:2px dashed black; margin:12px;">

Thanks for the help!

Hi all,

I had recently made the pages for a website. The site works fine in IE6 and IE 7 but in IE 8 the
page jumps left and right around 7-10 pixels while browsing. The same happens with Mozilla Firefox 3.0.11 also.
I had designed the layout in tables however used a wrapper div tag to align my site at center. If I keep the site left align there is no jump.
Also i had used div tags within td tags to create menu using ul and li tags.

Can the use of divs be a reason for that jump.

Please help if you had already faced this issue.

Hi,

I am in the process of building a website for a client. This is my first ever site so I knew I would have a few issues. I have fixed all but one at present.

Here is a link to my site which I have put live on a test server.

http://leaf.greenxtian.com/grangefarm/index.html

The naviagation bar and Lightbox2 images are moving when rolled over. This only happens in Internet Explorer 8. It is fine in FireFox and other browsers. It is only on the Services/Facilities Pages so I think it may be an issue with the CSS for Lightbox2? Maybe how I have set it up or just a bug in the coding?

Does anyone know why this is happening? If so, do you know of a fix?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have spent hours trying to work this out.
