CSS Grid and height 100% in safari - css

So I have a grid made with CSS grid and I've got an iframe which is taking 100% of the grid cell it is in, so the parent div, as I read on other posts safari and other browsers don't support this height: 100% not having a parent with a set height value and I'm looking for how to make it work for these browsers and how to implement it in my code.
I've quickly read about something called #support but don't really know how I could use it for this specific case; or about flexbox plus webkit to make it 100% but I didn't manage to make it work.

Send jsfiddle url with your problem, please.
Try with:
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
width:100%

Preventing relayout due to scrollbar

How can I prevent the body of the page being "pushed" to the left when a scrollbar appears due to ajax content?
I can of course set overflow:scroll to the body, but it wouldn't look nice.
I am using bootstrap, but I guess it is a general question.
overflow: overlay
Building on avrahamcool's answer, you can use the property overflow: overlay.
Behaves the same as auto, but with the scrollbars drawn on top of content instead of taking up space. Only supported in WebKit-based (e.g., Safari) and Blink-based (e.g., Chrome or Opera) browsers.
Source: MDN
This is great for when you need horizontally-scrolling content and don't want it to change size when scrollbars appear on hover.
Caveat: it is deprecated. Support is pretty much limited to Chromium, but that might go away in the future. See https://caniuse.com/css-overflow-overlay.
However, you can do a fallback of auto:
.container:hover {
overflow: auto; /* fallback */
overflow: overlay;
}
Demo: jsfiddle.net/NKJRZ/385/
Can I Use also has an interesting note:
This value is deprecated and related functionality being standardized as the scrollbar-gutter property.
However, you should check their link because browser support for this experimental feature is no better than overflow: overlay as of November 2021.
You can create a container that have a fixed width, and give the content the same width (same static width - not 100%).
that way, when the content overflows the parent, the scroll will not push the content but will flow above it.
using that, you can apply a cool way to scroll without pushing anything. by showing the scroll only when you hover the container.
Check out this simple Demo
EDIT:
Here I show the difference between setting static width, and %.
Well, the scrollbar will always push your content aside, there is really nothing you can do about that. What you can do is to always show to scrollbar for example:
html,body {
height:101%;
}
or
html {
overflow-y: scroll;
}
The best way to do this is assign value 'overlay' to overflow property. This works fine.
overflow-y: overlay;
In my case, I was getting an annoying pop event on my navbar whenever the scrollbar appears, but applying position fixed on my nav solved it for me.

CSS Challenge: INPUT going outside of DIV

I'm trying to accomplish something specific around platform constraints I'm under.
I created a somewhat self-explanatory jsfiddle of the problem at http://jsfiddle.net/MrV5M/4/
The specific problem:
On Chrome, the right border of the input box is cut off.
On Safari, the width of the content class cell exceeds the container so it spills over the border.
On IE9, the label doesn't float to the left of the content div
The main reason I care about Safari is because I'm working on a JQuery Mobile/PhoneGap app which is also a web app. I'm only supporting modern browsers, but this is driving me nuts. Normally I'd just use a table for the container, but the text-overflow: ellipsis styles on the content div don't work when inside a table. (Basically, I'm trying to keep the content to a single line and have ellipsis without enforcing a fixed width or calculating a width with Javascript)
Anyone have the l33t CSS skills to make this work? I sure don't... :)
Just add this CSS to your Stylesheet, and get peace of mind on your issue :D
* {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
You may not like this answer. I made some adjustments in the css which fixes Chrome and IE9 issues. Take a look,
http://jsfiddle.net/MrV5M/11/
There are many ways to do what you are trying to do, but if you insist on using 'flex' stuff which is largely un-supported (even in the majors see here), you'll need to add the vendor prefixes to flex.
e.g... -webkit-flex, -moz-flex
Also, I don't think you need to be setting widths on elements that have the flex property.. not positive though.
So your browser issues:
-IE doesn't support flex at all so you're label won't float unless you use a float.
-The reason your input/content is spilling over the container and getting cut off is not really anything to do with flex.. but the way css works.. setting an element to 100% width means setting it to the width of its parent. But by default, css doesn't count the padding/border-width as part of that width. So you end up getting 100% width plus the L/R padding and border. But, since you are only supporting modern browsers.. box-sizing:border-box; to the rescue. Google it for details, but putting it on your input element should do the trick.

DIV 100% height not respected in IE

I have an old layout that uses tables and I need to make a DIV to use the entire space of a TD. The CSS works fine in Firefox but IE interprets the 100% height as the entire window and doesn't take in account the presence of other elements on the page.
A working example can be seen in this Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/micahSan/JeA6m/
Firefox will see the DIV as 100% height of what's remained but IE will see it as 100% of the entire page.
How can I make IE match Firefox?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
I don't know wether exists more cleaner solution for this but with IE are still problems :-( I don't still understand why many people using IE so guy must still create separated CSS style for IE ... so let's back here. Problem is that IE don't respect height of <TD> in <TABLE> i think. So i created this temporary solution, add this to your CSS file
#big_cell {
height:100%;
height: 45% !important;
}
so this height: 45% !important is IE hack and it will be work only for IE.
Or instead of using the height attribute because of these problems you can use a spacer. For example a transparent small pic which you set the height you want.

IE Width Rendering issues

I've designed a fixed-width page which renders equally in Chromium, Firefox, Safari, but has a small issue in (from what I can tell) ALL flavours of IE. I've added some conditional styles for IE, which make things a bit better, but it's still off (by only a couple of pixels).
The site in question is here: http://www.brushesfacepainting.co.uk/brushes/home
IE and Chromium rendering side by side is shown here: http://www.brushesfacepainting.co.uk/images/renderissue.jpg
I added conditional styles for IE to fix the width of all the elements, prior to this, the banner style was much narrower than the body.
I assume I'm hitting up against an IE bug, but I can't figure out which one! Can anyone help please?
Thanks,
Lee
Your mainbodyie rule has a width that is different than the width in your standard css. (851px vs 848px). Fix that to match your other wrappers.
Also your page is not centered in IE - I suggest you wrap whole page in a fixed width wrapper with margin:0 auto to center whole page - so you don't keep repeating the width multiple times in your css for each layout element.
/* ONLY FOR IE */
DIV.mainbodyie{
width: 848px;
}
DIV.mainbody{
padding-right: 0;
}
Use a div structure for enclosing all content like header,middle,footer inside it.Add following code for this div:
.test{
overflow:auto;
margin: 0 auto;
}

having trouble centering table in Chrome and Safari

I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I cannot seem to center table with two images between 2 in side the right . Works in firefox, opera, ie8. XHTML and CSS validates.
A few notes on centering.
Always provide a width to the object you are trying to center
Once a width is set then use margin:0 auto; on that element
Enjoy seeing your code centered...
Also, if your element is inline (anchor, span, etc) make sure you display the element as display:block;
If you show some code I'm sure it's a simple fix.
Try setting the width and margin explicitly to add to 100%:
width:90%;margin-left:5%;margin-right:5%;
