CSS rendering issue on Chrome - css

I have been searching online but could not find an answer. Basically, I have a CSS file but the font color couldn't render when the page was first loaded. This only occur in Chrome. The font color would only be back after I press inspect or check or uncheck any one of the properties. How could I go about resolving this issue. I have added a versioning to the back of the CSS such that would not store cache. I am doing this on asp.net that host on sharepoint server. Greatly appreciate if anyone could give me a clue. I cannot post anything due to confidential matter.

Chrome "Unloading" Stylesheets on Middle Click

We've been having an odd issue that I'm not sure how to tackle, and I think this may be related to a recent Google Chrome update, but I'd like some way of sanity checking myself before I open an issue on the bug tracker.
Problem
We have an internal web application that our users use Google Chrome to access. Starting sometime early last week, we've noticed that when users middle click links, one or more of our stylesheets gets unapplied to the page.
Weirdly enough, zooming in / out or opening Chrome's Devtools re-applies these stylesheets to the page. If you open the sources tab in the Devtools and watch the stylesheets that are loaded, when the layout is working, we're seeing the full list of stylesheets. When a user middle clicks on a link, the stylesheets area flashes and the CSS file is missing from the list. Zooming in / out re-adds the missing CSS file to that sources list and renders the page correctly.
Before Middle Click
After Middle Click
Troubleshooting
Thinking this was some JavaScript function doing this, I watched the elements to make sure there weren't any changes to the DOM (thinking we may be adding a class to our wrapper elements on accident). No DOM changes that I can see, and I'm not seeing inline styles applied to HTML elements.
Figuring that the previous step wasn't enough, I removed all the JavaScript on the page trying to narrow down what file is doing this. After removing all JS from the page, we're still seeing the same thing. Someone middle clicks a link, then the page's styles go crazy.
I double checked it in Incognito mode, figuring it was one of my extensions. It still happens in Incognito mode.
Thinking our Stylus compiler was going nuts, I double checked the stylesheets for any invalid CSS and couldn't find any. I removed the source maps from all our stylesheets thinking it may be related to that, but it didn't fix the issue either.
I've also checked for the stylesheet being affected having a disabled attribute set on it, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
Wrapup
All in all, I'm not sure what's causing this outside of a browser bug. This is something that had popped up late last week which coincides with the last upgrade of Google Chrome, which hints to me that this probably relates to that update.
That being said I've not seen this issue affect other websites, which also points to the website being the issue so I'm not sure.
Is there any other way I can narrow this down to being a Chrome issue? I've not had this happen on any other browsers I've tested. (Working on putting together a MVP of the issue that's happening now.)
Your problem sounds similar to this.

Should be fixed shortly.

Stylesheet delayed on firefox

My asp.net MVC application use bundling to render stylesheet in my _Layout Page. Once my application deployed, I use Firefox and navigate to my login page and got this weird behavior I can't explain.
When I clear firefox cache to force reload stylesheet from server, I first see my page without any style applied. Then once the stylesheet is loaded, style are applied wich cause some unwanted 'flickering'. On chrome an IE, nothing is displayed before stylesheets are loaded, so no flickering here. I also have a really similar web app on my server for which, when I browse it with firefox, the 'flickering' problem doesn't occur. So I guess it must be something, maybe the order of code blocks in my page, that causes this behavior, not only the browser.
Is there a place where whe can look into your code? It's kinda hard to give an answer by just this question and information. The problem can be caused by alot of possibilities.
Did you try viewing the application on another computer? Sometimes that can be handy to determine if the issue is local (or is a general issue).
If there is a link to share, that would be great.

Crystal report is making the menu for master page disappear

For some reason whenever I go to the page of my website that has the crystal report on it my main navigation bar disappears. Here is what the header for the site (with the navigation menu) is suppose to look like:
and here is what it looks like when there is a report on the page:
Could someone tell me what is causing this and how I can fix it?
I'm using master page for the header by the way.
Greener, the Crystal Report viewer is a dynamic HTML representation of the report. It combines JavaScript, HTML and CSS (duh, what doesn't) to represent your report on the webpage. The toolbars are powered by JavaScript calls to .JS that is linked in when the CrystalReportViewer control is rendered to your page.
My point is, all of this introduces a LOT of stuff that can conflict with your existing page. In particular JavaScript errors can occur (which can cause certain things to stop rendering) OR CSS the report uses happens to apply styles you never intended to have applied to objects in your page.
I highly recommend installing the Web Developer toolbar and/or FireBug to FireFox, IE, or whatever browser they are offered on these days. FireFox's implementation of those is quite good in my experience.
When the page loads you can use the 'CSS' menu of the Web Developer toolbar to actually disable some or ALL the styles applied to the page. If disabling Crystal related styles (or all) makes your missing toolbar appear, then it's probably a conflict in your CSS. A front end developer would know to adjust the styles (i.e. add the !important directive to a style, change class/id names, etc.) to address this.
Alternatively, FireBug may be reporting JavaScript errors (heck, even FireFox can show these in the console) which could indicate a problem that prevents the completion of rendering your toolbar.
An outside possibility is that the report itself contains mark-up. For example, if you had certain fields in the report contain HTML that happened to be rendered by the browser, this could create an open div tag, css styles and even JavaScript that would do all the stuff I explained above.
I hope this narrows it down for you. Happy troubleshooting!
I was having the same issue and after hours of searching I finally resolved it... check this out... http://scn.sap.com/thread/1926659
In the crystalreportviewer css file, I adjusted the div class = clear and changed the height attribute and disabled overflow:hidden. Hopefully, that works for you. Good luck!
I found the solution after searching on the web and is a quite simple.
On the Site Master, change the Name for all the places you have the style "clear" for example "clear1" and change it too en the site.css with that name.
The problem is for the conflic with the namespaces with Crystal Report css.
Hope this help.

CSS seems to be not working in a subdomain?

I developed a website using code igniter, styled it with CSS, locally it works fine but online it looks like css is not loaded it picks up the old css style. I checked the link but it's correct. What gives?
Without more information (such as seeing the site in question), I can't give you a direct answer, but I can give you some pointers.
My suggestion is to use a tool like Firebug (in Firefox) or Chrome's Developer Tools, etc. These tools allow you to see full details of all requests being made by the browser.
(the exact instructions will differ according to the tool you're using, so I'll assume Firebug for simplicity).
Open your page in the browser, with Firebug open, and look at Firebug's "Net" tab (And make sure that the option below the tab is set to "All"). This will list all requests that are made by the browser.
The key thing for you is to look for any 404 errors. Since you say your CSS isn't working, it's a pretty good bet that your stylesheets are failing to load. The 404 errors listed in Firebug will show you why they're failing to load.
If you hover over the filenames, Firebug will expand it to show you the full URL that it attempted to load. This will almost certainly show you that you've got something wrong in your configuration, and it's trying to load the stylesheets (and possibly other files too) from the wrong location. This should show you what's going wrong and give you a enough clues to be able to work out how to fix it.
Hope this helps you solve the problem.

CSS not displayed depending on page

I have a friend that has a really strange issue with my website. When he clicks on http://www.copeo.fr/ the page displays fine but when he clicks on a link like www.copeo.fr/user/ the CSS is not applied even after a refresh. The raw html does display.
I asked him to display the CSS that is hosted on amazon S3 hcopeoressources.s3.amazonaws.com/style/futurvert/style.css and it displays fine.
The code validates on W3C validator so does the CSS. I am lost what could be the origin of the issue. Could it be its enterprise cache? configuration of IE7 on his machine?
If it happens to someone else who could explain the issue to me, I am all hears.
Thanks
Ok got my answer. The firewall blocked the CSS that is stored on amazonaws and for the first page, it was a cache that was filled outside of the company firewall.
Sounds like he is using relative path names. /foo/bar.css will resolve to sitename.com/foo/bar.css but foo/bar.css will resolve to sitename.com/currentpath/foo/bar.css.
There is an IE bug that if you have more than 30 style sheets, some or all of them won't show:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262161
It could possibly have something to do with that.
When I hit the CSS URL I got:
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below"
We use S3 at work for this type of thing and don't have issues, but I think pulling the CSS file off amazon S3 and storing it on a more traditional server might help with your trouble shooting. Or even solve the issue.
