Crossbrowser CSS when adjusting a WordPress theme - css

My CSS:
.n-drop-cap::first-letter {
box-sizing: content-box;
font-size: 4rem;
font-weight: bold;
color: var(--color-1);
float: left;
height: auto;
width: auto;
margin-right: 0.8rem;
margin-top: -1rem;
margin-bottom: -2rem;
display: block;
}
HTML:
<p class="n-drop-cap">Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.</p>
This is a case of adjusting a ready made WordPress theme for my needs. So, I have not resetted CSS styles. I decided that maybe it is not necessary in this case.
Anyway, my styles has not proved to be cross browser. In Chrome it looks satisfactorily (uppermost screen shot). In Firefox it falls apart.
Web page: https://galina.xyz/krasota/strizhki-na-korotkie-volosy/
Could you help me understand how to make everything crossbrowser?

The problem is that :first-letter does not supports display property.
All supported CSS rules subset can be found in it's documentation
You can always wrap your first letter manually or via script and then apply style for it:
.first-letter {
padding: 0 25px;
font-size: 24px;
display: block;
float: left;
color: #D93588;
}
<span class="first-letter">3</span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque eu lectus ac tortor commodo molestie at sit amet nunc. Vestibulum quis risus maximus, elementum urna nec, egestas lorem. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia curae; Quisque porta accumsan sem, a lobortis tortor faucibus finibus. Maecenas ac risus sed ante dictum sagittis. Nullam magna mi, consequat vitae sodales ac, dapibus et velit. Etiam vel lectus sed metus aliquet aliquet. Etiam mattis risus quis urna scelerisque tempor. Aenean maximus, diam vitae efficitur vulputate, mauris sem cursus velit, sed aliquet diam elit ac leo. Curabitur ut volutpat justo. Fusce maximus semper mi ac feugiat. Aliquam laoreet enim purus, vitae tempor elit viverra consequat. Nunc mollis sodales enim sed dictum.

Rotate text button in flex?

I would be grateful for advice about how to rotate a button in a flex context. I have a flex container with a "row" direction (that is, the three content items are arranged from left to right in a row), and the leftmost content item is a <div> that contains just a <button> with a few words of text in it. I want that <div> to be rendered vertically (so that the text reads from bottom to top), to hug the left edge of the container, and to be just the width of its one line of text.
The sample at https://jsfiddle.net/djbpitt/gth3nck9/74/ works as I need it to in Firefox 89, but in Chrome 90 (and Safari 14.1.1) the button is not rotated. caniuse.com tells me that vendor prefixes should not be required for CSS transform: rotate() or writing-mode: vertical-lr;, and adding a -webkit prefix doesn't seem to help anyway.
I would be grateful if someone could please advise me about how I can obtain the behavior I need in the versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari mentioned above (which are the latest versions as I write this). I would prefer a pure HTML/CSS (that is, no JavaScript) solution. Thank you!

The problem seems to lie with Chrome/Edge settings for button. They have for example amongst other things:
-webkit-writing-mode: horizontal-tb !important;
So this snippet gives up trying to style a button and replaces it with a div. Obviously you'll want to style that as you wish:
html {
height: 100%;
}

display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
height: 100%;
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;

}
div#button {

writing-mode: vertical-lr;
border: none;
justify-content: center;
transform: rotate(180deg);

overflow: visible;
}
#button div {

OP here. Thank you, A Haworth, for the pointer to the !important user agent setting for writing-mode in Webkit. I knew that browsers had default styling, of course, but I didn't realize that some of that styling apparently could not be overridden with user specifications.
Your insight led me to give up on changing the writing-mode value for the <button>, as you suggest, and I approached the task by wrapping a <span> around the text inside my <button> and specifying the writing-mode for the <span>. The new version is at https://jsfiddle.net/djbpitt/gth3nck9/86/. HTML and CSS are copied below:
<div id="button">
<button>
<span>Rotate me!</span>
</button>
</div>
I had to do some additional fiddling with the CSS to get the rendering I wanted:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
height: 100%;
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}

overflow-y: auto;
height: 100vh;
}

overflow: visible;
}
button {
margin: auto;
border: 1px black solid;
border-radius: 10px 0 0 10px;

Pure CSS Parallax - Text Hiding Under Parallax Picture After Scrolling

I'm trying to make the text of this parallax effect NOT to scroll down at the same as the effect.
I believe it has something to do with the html CSS code(overflow), I've tried putting into different places but it did not work. Is there any way to make my parallax work as it is now and while you scroll down the text will still be fully visible? Cause as soon as you scroll down the parallax AND the text scroll as well but by the time you reach the text, some have already scrolled up.

Your container class needs to be positioned relative to its parent for it to show up in front of the parallax background.
.container {
max-width: 95%;
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
position: relative;
}
You'll need to add some background color to separate it visually as well.
Here's a Codepen demo with a similar effect and its accompanying article.

Why css float does not work as expected

I have created 2 div one with float: left and one with float : right, each with 50% column width. Still they don't flow as expected. The second float not just on the right side of the first div but below the first div. Float doesn't behave according to the rule. So what rule am I missing here ?
<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>
<style type="text/css">
.column {
width: 50%;
}
div.right {
float: right;
}
}
div.left {
float: left;
}
img {
float: right;
margin: 0 0 1em 1em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class='left column'>
<img src="css-float.png">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus imperdiet, nulla et dictum interdum, nisi lorem egestas odio, vitae scelerisque enim ligula venenatis dolor. Maecenas nisl est, ultrices nec congue eget, auctor vitae massa. Fusce luctus vestibulum augue ut aliquet. Mauris ante ligula, facilisis sed ornare eu, lobortis in odio.

Your CSS is invalid, so stopping the rest of your stylesheet loading.
See here:
div.right {
float: right;
}
}
You are closing the rule twice, remove the second closing bracket
Fiddle
.column {
width: 49%;
}
div.left, div.right {
float: left;
border-right: 1px solid;
}
Reduce your width. You need side by side, So you add float left since both are under same container.
Demo.
.column {
width: 50%;
}
div.right {
float: right;
}
div.left {
float: left;
}
img {
float: right;
padding-right: 15px;
margin: 0 0 1em 1em;
}

Image-alignment error in Wordpress

I'm developing a theme for Wordpress.
As usual, there are the main page (index.php or home.php) with post summary and single.php file to display a certain post.
On the main page, the image alignment works as follow:
When I resize the page...
Inside single.php, it shows so:
I'm using this stylesheet:
/* Images */
.alignright {
float:right;
margin: 0 0 10px 20px;
}
.alignleft {
float:left;
margin: 0 20px 10px 0;
}
.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto 1px auto;
clear: both;
}
.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
}
.wp-caption img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0 none;
}
.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 12px;
font-style: italic;
line-height: 20px;
padding: 0 5px;
margin: 5px 0;
}
How can I fix these problems?

You may be able to force it by adding a clear:left to the .wp-caption classes that also have .alignright and visa versa. Having a URL to your site would be helpful to get you something more specific.
Update: You're using a responsive layout, so things will change depending on the browser, but basically it looks like you aren't happy with the way the first image on single.php floats so that it cuts the second paragraph to one word in the first line. There isn't much you can do about that, though, without making writing posts a PITA later on. Your homepage and your single.php are displaying slightly differently, the first paragraph on the homepage is much longer - by about 1-2 lines- than on single.php so that's why the first image floating to the right is behaving differently. As for the unordered lists, this is a typical pain with WordPress image alignment unfortunately, see it all the time. Easiest way to deal with it is to try to structure your posts such that the images don't end up alongside a list or, barring that, set your UL so that it forces a new line using 'clear' and 'display' properties.
The only solution that I've found is the follow:
article .entry ul {
margin: 10px 0 10px 2px;
}
article .entry ul > li {
margin: 5px 0;
list-style-position: inside;
}
/* Images */
.alignright {
display: inline;
float: right;
margin: 0 0 10px 20px;
}
.alignleft {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin: 0 20px 10px 0;
}
.aligncenter {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto 1px auto;
clear: both;
}
.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
}
.wp-caption img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0 none;
}
.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 12px;
font-style: italic;
line-height: 20px;
padding: 0 5px;
margin: 5px 0;
}
And there is the result:
That isn't the best technique there can possibly be, but the result may be considered acceptable (I think).

Why won't this element set to `height: 100%` work in this example in IE7?

I set up this fiddle to show how all browsers render the red pieces.
Strangely, IE7 renders that fine (on its own).
However, I have a shadow effect on a new site (that works the same as the red strips) that works on Firefox, Safari & IE8.
I swear I have used this same method countless times before and it has worked in IE7.
Here is how it looks in IE7. The strips don't grow to the correct height (using IE's developer tools showed me that). They are not just not repeating the background image.
(source: alexanderdickson.com)
The site is also available here to view. I am using IE8's compatibility view, which I realise isn't strictly a 1:1 of IE7, but I according to NetRender, this also happens on IE7.
Can someone please kindly tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

I'm not sure why you would apply your shadows in this manner though. How I usually do it is have a wider container (including the widths of the left/right shadows) aligned center (in this case, it's your #mainContainer div, then set a y-repeating background (that is the shadow - just a couple of pixels high will do). I will then specify another div within this container, smaller width, center aligned, that will contain all the text.
Edit: Just noticed your fiddle. I think it may not work in this case due to css conflicts, possible from the osCommerce stylesheet? I'll try to look deeper..hmm
EDIT2: Okay I've traced it to this particular code in stylesheet.css
#login-link,
#logout-link {
position: absolute;
bottom: -20px;
right: 50px;
background: #333;
padding: 5px;
text-decoration: none;

-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;

It's your absolute positioning of this element that's causing the problem. Removing the styling fixes your shadow problems. :)
EDIT FIX:
This should fix it. Or at least it does on my stripped down version of your site layout.
Change #user and #login-link to the following:
#user {
float: right;
color: #f90;
position: relative; /* addition */
}
#login-link,
#logout-link {
position: absolute;
top: 31px; /* addition */
/*bottom: -20px; REMOVED */
right: 50px;
height: 15px; /* addition */
white-space: nowrap; /* addition */
background: #333;
padding: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
z-index: 100;
font-weight: bold;
}
FIX2:
Change
#user-options .bottom-shadow {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 7px;
position: absolute;
bottom: -7px;
#bottom: -5px;
left: 0;
background: url(images/layout/shadow-bottom.png) repeat-x;
z-index: 50;
}
TO
.bottom-shadow {
width: 100%;
height: 7px;
margin-top: -10px;
background: url(images/layout/shadow-bottom.png) repeat-x;
}
And your HTML layout should be:
<div id="user-options">
<div id="choose-your-country">
<p>Choose your country > </p>
</div>
<div id="user"></div>
<div id="current-locale">Golf Ball Busters - AU</div>
<br class="clear">
</div>
<div class="bottom-shadow"></div>
Noticed I change bottom-shadow into a div element and moved it out of <div id="user-options">.
try giving #mainContainer height: 100%
