IE11 not rendering CSS properly - css

Chrome and Opera render my page properly without issue, however IE11 and Edge do not.
I am using pure CSS to expand/collapse 3 section headings. It was my understanding IE 11 had more support for CSS3/webkit and I definitely thought Edge would of stepped up it's game.

CSS Snippet
summary::-webkit-details-marker {
background: url(/images/toggle-expand.png) center no-repeat;
color: transparent;
font-size: 125%;
margin-right: 2px;
}
details[open] summary::-webkit-details-marker {
background: url(/images/toggle.png) center no-repeat;
color: transparent;
}
summary:focus {
outline-style: none;
}
article > details > summary {
font-size: 28px;
margin-top: 16px;
}
details > p {
margin-left: 24px;
}
details details {
margin-left: 36px;
}
details details summary {
font-size: 16px;
}
Rendered Properly
How IE/Edge renders it
All of the headings overlap in to the content of the previous sections that should be hidden and the toggle images do not appear at all. Just looks like the above CSS is completely ignored.
Any ideas?

From what I can see the <details> and <summary> elements are not supported in IE and Edge. It has nothing to do with supporting CSS3 features. It looks like those elements are part of the HTML5.1 spec.
Reference: MDN, WebPlatform, caniuse.com.
Take a look at the Resources tab on caniuse.com. There's a few links pointing to some polyfills.
As others have noted, CSS properties prefixed with -webkit- won't work in IE/Edge. Just as -o- or -ms- wouldn't work in Chrome.

Control pseudo-element style on element:hover [duplicate]

I'm re-asking this question because its answers didn't work in my case.
In my stylesheet for printed media I want to append the url after every link using the :after pseudo-class.
a:after {
content: " <" attr(href) ">";
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
}
In Firefox (and probably Chrome but not IE8), text-decoration: none is ignored, and the underline stretches unattractively across the bottom of the url. The color however is correctly set to black for the url. Is there a way to make the text-decoration work?
The original question appended fixed size images instead of variable width text. Its answers use padding and background images to avoid having to use the text-decoration property. I'm still looking for a solution when the content is variable width text.
If you use display: inline-block on the :after pseudo, the text-decoration declaration will work.
Tested in Chrome 25, Firefox 19
IE8's implementation of the :before and :after pseudo-elements is incorrect. Firefox, Chrome and Safari all implement it according to the CSS 2.1 specification.
5.12.3 The :before and :after pseudo-elements
The ':before' and ':after'
pseudo-elements can be used to insert
generated content before or after an
element's content. They are explained
in the section on generated text.
...
Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 Revision 1 (CSS 2.1) Specification
The specification indicates that the content should be inserted before or after the element's content, not the element (i.e. <element>content:before content content:after</element>). Thus in Firefox and Chrome the text-decoration you're encountering is not on the inserted content but rather on the parent anchor element that contains the inserted content.
I think your options are going to be using the background-image/padding technique suggested in your previous question or possibly wrapping your anchor elements in span elements and applying the pseudo-elements to the span elements instead.
I had the same problem and my solution was to set height and overflow:hidden
http://jsfiddle.net/r45L7/
a {
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:after {
content: "»";
display: inline-block;
text-decoration: none;
height:16px;
overflow: hidden;
padding-left: 10px;
}
It works on IE, FF, Chrome.
As an alternative, you can use a bottom border rather than a text-decoration.
This assumes that you know the color of the background
a {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid blue;
}
a:after {
content: "foo";
border-bottom: 1px solid white; /* same color as the background */
}
1)
:after{
position: absolute;
}
is not perfect, because element content will not wrap
2)
:after{
display: inline-block;
}
is not perfect, because sometimes we wish after content should always wrap with last word of element content.
For now, I could not find find a perfect solution fits all 3 conditions(1. content could auto-wrap if it's too long 2.after content should wrap with element content, which means after content should not occupy single by it self. 3.text-decoration should only apply on element condition not apply to after content.)
I thoughts for now is using other way to mimic text-decoration.
What I do is I add a span inside the a element, like this :
<span>link text</span>
Then in your CSS file :
a::after{
content:" <" attr(href) "> ";
color: #000000;
}
a {
text-decoration:none;
}
a span {
text-decoration: underline;
}
The only thing that worked for me was declaring a separate repeated selector with the same text-decoration property that it was inheriting from its parent, then in the main selector, setting text-decoration to none.
IE apparently does not know what to do when you set text-decoration: none on a pseudo element without that element having the text-decoration property declared (which by default, it has nothing declared by default). This makes little sense because it is obviously being inherited from the parent, but alas, now we have modern browsers.
span.my-text {
color: black;
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: underline;
}
span.my-text:after {
text-decoration: underline; // Have to set text-decoration here so IE knows it can be overwritten below
}
span.my-text:after {
color: red;
text-decoration: none; // In the same repeated selector, we can now overwrite text-decoration in our pseudo element.
}
I realise this isn't answering the question you're asking, but is there a reason you can't use the following (background-based approach):
a.file_pdf {
background-image: url(images/pdf.png);
background-position: center right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-right: 15px; /* or whatever size your .png image is plus a small margin */
}
As far as I know, the Firefox implementation of :after observes the property of the selector's class, not the psuedo-class. It might be worth experimenting with different doctypes, though? The transitional, rather than strict, sometimes allows for different results (albeit not always better results...).
Edit:
It appears that using
a:after {
content: " <" attr(href) ">";
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
background-color: #fff; /* or whatever colour you prefer */
}
overrides, or at least hides, the text-decoration. This doesn't really provide any kind of answer, but at least offers a workaround of sorts.
You can autoselect links to pdf-files by:
a[href$=".pdf"]:after { content: ... }
IE less than 8 can be enabled to work properly by implementing this link in the head of the html-file:
<!--[if lt IE 8]><script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.0(beta3)/IE8.js" type="text/javascript"></script><![endif]-->
It works also very good in al IE versions when you use the after-before-content-thing for dosplaying quotation marks.
Position the content absolutely as follow:
a {
position: relative;
margin: 0 .5em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #c00;
}
a:before,
a:after {
position: absolute;
color: #000;
}
a:before {
content: '<';
left: -.5em;
}
a:after {
content: '>';
right: -.5em;
}
This works for me in Firefox 3.6, not tested in any other browsers though, best of luck!
Hi I was also having trouble with this as well and happened to stumble across a workaround.
To get around it, I wrapped the URL in div and used something like this.
.next_page:before {
content: '(';
}
.next_page:after {
content: ')';
}

Checkbox tick displays as dots in Edge browser

I have a checkbox styled like so:
input[type="checkbox"] {
position:relative;
top:0.5em;
-webkit-appearance: none;
height: 1.25em;
width: 1.25em;
margin-right: 5px;
vertical-align: top;
}
input {
margin:0 0 0.2em 0;
border-radius:0.1em;
border:1px solid #d2d2d2;
padding:0.8em;
box-sizing:border-box;
font-size:16px;
color:black;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked::before{
content: "\f00c";
font-family:"FontAwesome";
position: absolute;
font-size: 1em;
left: 0.15em;
top:0.3em;
text-align: center;
width: 1.25em;
color: #678b4f;
}
Jsfiddle here.
It appears nicely in most browsers and until now, it seems to at least fall back to something useable in more awkward browsers that ignore -webkit-appearance.
However, in Edge, the checked version of the checkbox appears as a very small dot (rather than font awesome tick) that is barely visible. If I remove -webkit-appearance, that displays something useable but that then breaks it in the webkit browsers.
Anyone know how I can fix/get around this?
It is actually not a dot, its a super teeny tiny checkbox, because of the padding on the input. If you change it from 0.8em to 0.1em, you will see what i mean.
Moving the padding from the input element to the input[type="checkbox"]:checked::before selector it will work in all browsers the same.
The problem is that Edge actually supports -webkit properties, but the behavior of -webkit-appearance is unexpected (probably a bug). It seems that adding this property allows you to style the checkbox to a certain degree, but the original checkbox is rendered nonetheless. Interestingly despite setting the value to none the DOM inspector shows that it remains checkbox:
Microsoft's documentation says the following about -webkit-appearance: none:
Default. The appearance of an element is not changed.
Note that it says "not changed" when you would expect "not rendered". The docs seem to be about IE, so I'm not sure if it's relevant for Edge as well or at all.
One possible workaround is a hack, that only targets Webkit browsers. Add the selector body:not(*:root) before the actual selector:
body:not(*:root) input[type="checkbox"] {
You can try this
#supports (-ms-ime-align: auto) {
input[type="checkbox"] {
width:51px;height:51px;
}
input[type=checkbox]::-ms-check{
color:red;
border:0;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
}
This is for IE Edge #supports (-ms-ime-align: auto)
This is for checkbox when checked input[type=checkbox]::-ms-check

Target CSS only Firefox on Mac

I have some alignment problem in my coding. In Windows, all the browsers seems okay. But when I checked it in Mac firefox, the alignment is not perfect. I can fix it by changing the value a bit. But it should be only for Firefox on Mac.
Is there any CSS attributes or something for this?
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/9chk5/
.notes {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #abc;
}
.search-notes {
font-size: 14px;
color: #484848;
position: relative;
top: -20px;
margin: 0 25px 0 22px;
}
and the HTML
<div class="notes" style="top:2px"></div><div class="search-notes">This link is used to get information about the visitors from the google organic search. This link is used to get information about the visitors from the google organic search. This link is used to get information about the visitors from the google organic search. This link is used to get information about the visitors from the google organic search. </div>
</div>
You can use classes to achieve what you want. Sniff out the user's Browser and OS and add a class to body for your specific case. E.g. apply macFirefox class to body if user is using Firefox on Mac, then in CSS use .macFirefox .yourClass { /*CSS rules*/ }.
However it will be better to apply styles in a way which are crossbrowser.
For example in your particular case changing style to
.search-notes {
font-size: 14px;
color: #484848;
position:absolute;
display:inline;
/* position: relative;
top: -20px;
margin: 0 25px 0 22px; */
}
should do the trick.
Updated your fiddle
You can step into the gray area of undocumented feature queries. This way you can target only Firefox on Mac:
#supports (-moz-osx-font-smoothing: auto) {
#firefox-on-mac { display: block; }
}
And if you want to target all Firefox, except those which are on Mac, do this:
#supports (-moz-appearance: none) and (not (-moz-osx-font-smoothing: auto)) {
#firefox-not-on-mac { display: block; }
}
I am deliberately not using #-moz-document, because it has been disabled for public use per Firefox bug #1035091.
See this codepen for practical example.

google chrome for mac positioning headache

i am using FF as the main testing platform and Chrome (for Mac) as the secondary.
I just noticed that Chrome is showing ~20px off positioning for CSS. (just to be clear Chrome is showing the TEXTAREA ~20px down as compared to FF)
Also Chrome is not obeying the width CSS property for TEXTAREA.
Is it just me or everyone is having this problem? I thought IE was crazy.
TEXTAREA {
background-color: white;
border: #ccc 2px solid;
color: black;
font-family: calibri, helvetica, arial, verdana, ms sans serif;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 16pt;
font-weight: normal
min-width:320px;
min-height:138px;
max-height:138px;
resize: none;
}
Is there a solution??
I think it would help if you could show us your 'troublesome' page. Maybe make a copy and upload it to the web so we can give it a check?
Whatever the case, I'm sure it has something to do with more than just the textarea itself. Perhaps its one of the containing elements, a rule on a parent div or table td or who knows. Since it's a textarea, I'm pretty sure there's a form or submit of some type involved so yeah, please show us more of your code ;)
You might find this useful anyway so that you can edit your code individually for moz or chrome:
Gecko browsers (FIREFOX):
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
/* Gecko-specific CSS here */
}
WebKit browsers (CHROME, SAFARI):
#media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
/* Webkit-specific CSS here */
}
Cheers
Different browsers have different defaults. Add the following to the top of your CSS file:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Also, what doctype are you using? If XHTML then "TEXTAREA" needs to be lowercase.
