What is -ms-value - css

I found a solution for an IE specific issue here and that worked for me:
Change IE background color on unopened, focused select box
But I just cant find anywhere what does -ms-value mean?
The only thing I can figure out is ms means MicroSoft, so its for IE specific settings but can someone plz share some link or information where we can find more details around this.
What does -ms-value mean?

The :-ms-value CSS pseudo-element is a Microsoft extension that applies rules to the value of a text or password control or the content of a control...
Refer to: -ms-value for more information.

Firefox is not rendering CSS background (Firefox error/bug?)

After spending a while creating an online portfolio, then uploading it, I noticed an issue with one of my sections. On the "Advertisement" section, I noticed it was not displaying the information, just the title. So, I kept on re-pushing the stylesheet.css, even editing it, and it would still look the same. The HTML, CSS, and JS is working how I wrote it. But it is just the section that is not showing. After browsing online and on stackoverflow for an answer, I believe it has to do with Firefox. When using Firebug, I noticed the section's background has been removed, causing the entire section to "disappear." It works just fine on Chrome. I'm not worried about IE, I know that browser has some issues in itself. Anyway, would anyone on here have an idea to resolve this issue, if I can? Or even, what could be causing this issue?
Here is my website to see for yourselves. www.voelkerdesigner.com

It is the opposite for me your entire site works in firefox for me but not in chrome, looking through your code, its being caused by your naming conventions. Namely #advertise
I use the adguard extension in chrome and below is the css it plugs into my html pages to hide ads, so im guessing your using an adblocker in firefox
#adsense_top, #adsensewide, #adspace, #adspace_top, #adspot-300x250-pos-1, #adspot-300x250-pos-2, #adswidget1-quick-adsense, #adswidget2-quick-adsense, #adtext, #adtop, #adv-masthead, #adv-top, #advert1, #advert2, #advertbox3, #advertise, #advertisement1, #advertisetop, #advertising-container, #advertising_wrapper {
display: none!important;
}
Might as well post a random answer on this... As i wont visit posted links by new users.. i'm just gonna guess that your background image might not be 100%...
In general i use background-image instead of background.. Short hand can be a little pain and breaks in some browsers if not perfect.
so i would compare against the following example
background-image:url('images/mybg.jpg');
background-image:url('http://somesite.com/images/mybg.jpg');
Basically alot of people do not use the url and just go straight for a file name or dont quote it.. And have seen that be the problem in the past, so do use the url('') method.
Otherwise if it still fails to work and you know the image is absolute, you would then have some other css that is either over riding your elements background or is preventing it from loading.
Another trick is using your console / inspect element to manually inject the background-image and see if that works... So once the page has loaded in chrome, inspect the element as normal.. And double click on your css property listing as you can add your own styles this way and if it fails, then its not the markup but something else.

Why do Chrome developer tools and actual Chrome rendering differ?

I've posted an image of what my Chrome debug tools look like on a fairly standard JQuery Mobile page. I've already figured out that it actually isn't using the :visited style because none of the links are actually visited. I didn't have an :active style so the links were still blue. So I know what I need to do to fix it, but that's not my question. My question is why is it telling me that it is using that style when it is not? Is this a Chrome bug or am I reading the tool wrong?
You are looking at the total inheritence of all classes. To see what final properties are being applied clicked on "computed"
Also this looks like JQUERY mobile so I suspect you are going to run into some issues of very large class paths that are not easy to detect. I posted a few of these up here - one in particular about styling buttons.

I can't find many css references in the style.css file on Shopify.

I want to edit the class "top-labels" from the shopping cart page but I can't find it in the css stylesheet. How can I get around this?
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Use an A-grade modern web browser, like Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Find the developer tools for your choice. You might install Firebug for Firefox for example.
With that, right-click on the element you're interested in, say the one with the class top-labels. The browser tools will tell you exactly which CSS file contains the definition of the class, and the line number.
It cannot really be much easier. You can also change the CSS in your browser in that definition and see what the changes do, live. That is invaluable.
I think we need more info but from what you've said I'd guess that the top-labels class is either located in a different style sheet or is an inline style on the page.
You could try adding the top-labels style into the stylesheet you're using and add the styles you want to it that way.

How do I edit CSS in Chrome like in Firebug for Firefox?

I've been editing CSS using Firebug in Firefox, but recently noticed that Chrome is rendering my pages much quicker (with scrolling, interactive elements etc) and wanted to switch to it.
I found Chrome shows the computed CSS and what attributes are overruled in the stack and I can alter them one-by-one but what I liked about Firebug was that I could just edit the entire stylesheet in a real-time text editor. Is this same feature somewhere in the Chrome developer panel, or is there a Chrome extension that lets me alter the stylesheets this way?
In current versions of Chrome (I'm running 16) you don't need any external add-ons.
Right click anywhere in your page, choose inspect element, then in the window that shows up click the Resources tab, then in the left panel select the stylesheet you want to edit. To begin editing you need to first double click, over the css text.
Try StyleBot. It can also save edited CSS.
You can edit any property or create a new property by double click on an entry or empty space in Elements panel's styles pane. There is no way to edit entire css file just as text at the moment.
I use live.js! As you edit your css file it shows you the results realtime in your browser without having to refresh. http://livejs.com/
I've spend countless hours testing almost every Chome extension i could find (including stylebot) to mimic the live CSS editing of Firebug in Firefox. None to date have that same workflow. Live.js is the closest.
Have you tried the Web Developer Toolbar extension's CSS->Edit CSS tool?
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/bfbameneiokkgbdmiekhjnmfkcnldhhm
Web Developer Toolbar for Chrome > CSS > Edit CSS
there's a semi-working firebug extension but it's not exactly perfect yet.
User Firebug Lite. It's also available as an extension to Chrome.
You are looking for this - Live Stylesheets
I wrote the LiveCSSEditor 4 years ago for exactly this reason. FireBug in Firefox would let me free-hand write CSS into the page, but nothing else in Chrome would.
I still use it today and have yet to find a better solution. It may work for you as well. :)

Styles that are not found in Flex documentation

today I wanted to change the border color of TextInput when user has a focus on it. I could not find any style that would allow me to change that. A little bit of Google searching and I found answer to be themeColor.
Why is it that there are some styles that work and which are not even mentioned in the Flex documentation? (and how can one find out about em, except doing some web searching?)
Thanx
Ladislav
As always I suggest while managing in color and properties use Flex Style Explorer create a stylesheet.css, put it into src folder and then call it by the following statement:
<mx:Style source="yourstylesheet.css" />
In the comment above Srirangan answered the question correctly, but I am not able to accept his comment as answer to my question...so I will just accept this one :)
