I am working on some front end design, and while fiddling with some stuff in Chrome developer tools I added the following to the webpage I am working on:
Even after reloading (and emptying cache and hard reloading) this style persists, regardless of whether or not I have the developer tools open.
I am not sure where this style is coming from or why it refuses to quit!
Has anyone experience something similar and were able to figure out a solution?
EDIT: If it matters this is being applied to a table element
Only two options really: either you defined the width: 100% as an inline style or it's being added via JS as an inline style.

How does one generally debug CSS and resolve issues when some elements on the page are not appearing as they should? For now, I have to painfully comment out CSS declarations one by one to understand how the styles are getting displayed.
While you can not "debug" CSS, because it is not a scripting language, you can utilize the Chrome DevTools Elements panel to inspect an element & view the Styles pane on the right.
This will give you insights as to the styles being overridden or ignored (line threw).

To Find Errors & Warnings use CSSLint
Debugging CSS and HTML code bugs can really ruin your application design. There are multiple ways to debug CSS and HTML code. There are few things or ways you should consider the debugging and taking care while developing HTML or writing CSS.
Check your syntax errors with http://csslint.net/. It provides the
nice tool and highlights a line where an error occurs.
Closely review your cross-browser compatibility issues. A site looks nice and beautiful in a firefox but sometimes it will not
look nice with another browser at that time you should take care of
cross-browser compatibility issues of CSS. You should nice and proper
CSS framework that will prevent to generate cross-browser issues and
verify HTML tags and CSS properties which may support by browser
correctly.
Browser web developer tool allows outlining an HTML and element with
different criteria this will allow to writing appropriate CSS for HTML
element.
Turn on or off stylesheet with Chrome dev tools. If you’re wondering
how your CSS is affecting a particular page element, the Chrome
DevTools make it easy to toggle each property. In the Google Chrome
web browser, simply right click and choose Inspect Element from the
context menu.On the right side of the Elements panel, you should see a
tab called Styles with some CSS inside of it. This shows you which CSS
declarations are being applied to the selected element, and if you
hover over each CSS property, you can uncheck them individually. When
a property is crossed out, it typically means that it is being
overridden elsewhere. You may need to uncheck a property in several
places to actually remove it from an element.
Use computed tab in chrome dev tools. it tells you exactly how the
browser is computing your styles. When working on large projects this
is essential for resolving cascading issues, problems with selector
specificity, and more.
You may enable chrome dev tools with ctrl+shirt+I or press F12 key
which supports in almost every browser.

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.
I'm having some trouble with our precious Internet Explorer 8. We are working on a CMS for hotels and everything was just fine until awhile back, when IE8 stopped rendering the frontend properly. This is the public website demo and the top navigation as well as the menustrip are messed up in IE8. Same with the "Payment methods" in the right side of the footer, where small icons for accepted payment methods should have been shown.
The thing is, we do have a special CSS file dealing with IE issues and it's loaded on the website, but it's not being applied to elements by IE. Also, on my local machine other CSS files (not conditional) are being loaded in IE, but the browser doesn't apply the styles.
It's like this:
the CSS file is loaded
the classes are applied to the tags
but the styles are not applied to those classes (!)
Now this behaviour happens on some pages and doesn't happen on others (very few). For example, on this page the menustrip is ok. I read about similar issues in IE isn't rendering the CSS and js dom injected elements don't pick up CSS styling in IE. The thing is this behaviour has been reproduced on other PC's in the office, as well as at home. I'm quite baffled by this.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? If so, did you fix it? How did you manage to fix it? Thanks to all!
The site I am currently working on is http://rattscallion.com/ I am focusing my efforts on getting the site to look proper in IE.
I was having trouble getting the frame on the pages (look at /murals.html for the page I'm working on first). IE9 said that the inline-style stated that the background-image was "none," so it crossed out the original background image. I figured it might be getting this from somewhere on the main stylesheet so what I did was make a new frame that only exists in IE and style it only in the IE stylesheet. Unfortunately this also doesn't work...it still says that an inline-style is setting the background-image to "none", but there is no such thing!
I double-checked and this is happening in IE9 standards mode. So why is this happening? Can anyone help figure out how to "force" it over what IE perceives as the inline style?
Well there's your problem:
CSS was ignored due to mime type mismatch
normalize.css
If you check the network calls the normalize.css is received as text/plain instead of text/css. You should install static content (under server roles) in your IIS as for some weird reason it's not installed by default. I'm betting one WHOLE dollar you're using IIS.
You could have just copy pasted the normalize.css into a server side css file so it's not accessed remotely.
I got it working by doing the following:
remove #framePos img{ display: none; } from styles-ie.css
remove unitpngfix.js - the png filter fix was for ie6 and serves no purpose on ie9 (it's actually one of the reasons the frame does not show)
Note: the frame.png pic is place in lots'o'places as background so you should consider a little clean up of the css files
Another Note: unitpngfix.js replaces the frame.png with the clear.gif and places transparency filters on every png element. So tinkering on css will not do anything until you remove the js.
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. :)
