Indenting text on html select tag - css

I have a select tag which I am trying to give some style.
<select class="points-selection"
ng-options="line as line.pick for line in slip.lines">
</select>
then I have this
.points-selection {
background-color: get-color(nieve);
border: 0;
border-radius: get-space(xxx-small);
color: get-color(night);
cursor: pointer;
margin-top: get-space(xxx-small) + 1.5;
padding: get-space(xxx-small);
text-indent: 32.5%;
width: 100%;
}
I have that text-indent prop set to 32.5%.
In chrome is doing this
which is exactly what I need.
But I have this on Firefox
clearly the text is not centered in Firefox, that's my issue so far.
so what should I do to fix it ?

Try normalizing the css for every browser
*{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
or go to this link Normalize.css in GitHub

Why is my a:hover css working differently in Firefox?

I cannot figure this out. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH so please, no comments about me doing more research. Also, I am a noob, so be nice ;)
Here's my site: http://library.skybundle.com/
Hover your mouse over the two black rectangles in the main blue nav bar (header area). The a:hover should make the color change to a gray. The ISSUE is that in Chrome, this looks perfect. But, in Firefox, the padding-right isn't long enough or something, so there is always a small black rectangle at the far right side of the "Educational Courses" button (this will only be visible when hovering your cursor over the button). In other words, the gray box doesn't go all the way to the right-side end of the button area upon mouse hover. I just don't understand why this looks and works great in Chrome, but bugs out in Firefox...
Believe me when I say I have tried everything I can to fix it using Firebug in Firefox. If you play around with it using an editor in your browser, you will see that if you try to make the padding longer for Firefox, it pops the whole button down onto a new line. So to fix THAT problem, you must make the container wider, but then the original problem comes back. It's a circle of problems and I'm sure one of you geniuses out there will see a simple solution that I am missing.
Please help. Thanks!
EDIT :
Here's my JSFiddle and code. Notice how it looks great in Chrome but not in Firefox?

}
li#li-right {
list-style-position: inside;
border-left: 2px solid #5E5E5E;
}
ul#top-menu li a {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 11pt;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 15px 10px 16px 10px;
color: #ffffff;
}
ul#top-menu li a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
width: auto;
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #505354;
padding: 15px 10px 17px 10px;
}
its because a tags (anchor tags) have a default display property of inline
due to CSS Box Model you would need to adjust your padding and set the anchor tags display property to display:block;
the display block allows the anchor tag to fill the whole space of the LI tag
change ul#top-menu li a to this:
ul#top-menu li a{
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 11pt;
font-weight: bold;
display: block; /* add this */
padding: 0 10px; /* add this */
}
the CSS Box Model adds the content + padding + border + margin
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box_model
Take a look at this CSS rule:
li#li-right {
border-left: 2px solid #5E5E5E;
list-style-position: inside;
}
Dropping list-style-position: inside seems to fix your issue in Firefox (and still works in Chrome), but I haven't tested the implications in other browsers. The CSS rule is documented here.
The reason why : browsers apply their own css if you don't specify it. Firefox added the space for your bullet (somehow)
FF :
list-style-image none
list-style-position outside
list-style-type disc
GooChrome :
list-style-image: none;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-type: none;

Custom Checkboxes Failing on Firefox

I'm trying to make custom checkboxes with CSS3, which is working great on Chrome. On Firefox... not so much.
Edit: it seems to be working fine on Firefox 37.
The answer below is still relevant, but the style related issues from mid 2013 are resolved.
IE support isn't mentioned here but edits/answers regarding it are welcome.
demo
The HTML:
<input type="checkbox" id="first"/>
<label for="first">This is pretty awesome</label>
The CSS:
input[type=checkbox] {
appearance: none;
background: transparent;
position: relative;
}
input[type=checkbox]::after {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
content: '';
text-align: center;
background: #aaa;
display: block;
pointer-events: none;
opacity: 1;
color: black;
border: 3px solid black;
}
input[type=checkbox] + label {
line-height: 48px;
margin: 0 15px 0 15px;
}
input[type=checkbox]:hover::after {
content: '';
background: #32cd32;
opacity: .3;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked::after {
content: '\2713';
background: #32cd32;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked:hover::after {
opacity: 1;
}
input[type=checkbox],
input[type=checkbox]::after {
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
font-size: 46px;
line-height: 48px;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 50%;
}
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Note: I removed vendor prefixes, and things like user-select for brevity. The full code is in the pen.
What do I need to change to have it look the same on Firefox as it does on Chrome?
Desired:
Not desired:
You can enable custom styles for checkbox specifically for mozilla browser by adding this property and it worked for me.
-moz-appearance:initial
I managed to fix it as much as seems possible (I'd still love a better solution, if one exists). I switched all of the selectors from
input[type=checkbox]::after
to
input[type=checkbox] + label::after
Downside:
requires a label
But:
HTML requires input elements to have a label
Conclusion:
only bad for invalid HTML
doesnt technically need a LABEL, but does need control over the mark up to ensure there is a target-able sibling immediately after the checkbox.
i.e.
input[type=checkbox] + span::after{
display:block;
width:50px;
height:50px;
background:yellow;
display:block;
}
input[type=checkbox]:checked + span::after{
display:block;
width:50px;
height:50px;
background:yellow;
display:block;
}
<input type="checkbox"></input>
<span class="targetMe"></span>
target the span using the sibling selector and :after elements as above.
Might as well put in a label tho at this point... :P
The problem is that :after and ::after technically create an element as the last child of the element the pseudoselector is applied to. Firefox doesn't like to create children inside of its checkboxes. This is actually part of a bigger topic which is replaced elements.
You will see the same issue with the :before and ::before pseudoelements not working on checkboxes because they would create elements as a first child element within the element being selected.

content isn't moving with the div in chrome only (issuewith asp control)

I have a menu div that appears just fine in IE9 and Firefox, but in chrome and IE8, the contents of the div are not following actual div itself when the div is moved:
IE9/FF:
Chrome:
As far as I can tell, i don't have any css conflicts or issues with flow. I may be missing something though (obviously). Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
Here is the current div hiearchy:
<div id="mainBody">
<div id="mainMenu" class="mainMenu">
<asp:Menu class="menuItems">
<--- menu items jargon here --->
</asp:Menu>
</div>
</div>
And the css:
body
{
background-color: #E7EDEB;
}
.textBox
{
margin: 1px;
}
#mainBody
{
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 1000px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin-left: 10%;
margin-right: 10%;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Calibri;
letter-spacing: .03em;
}
.mainMenu
{
border: 1px solid #000000;
background-color: White;
margin: 0px;
position: relative;
width: 600px;
left: 50px;
bottom: 25px;
height: 30px;
}
.MenuItems
{
vertical-align: middle;
font-family: Calibri;
font-size: large;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: left;
color: #000000;
margin: 3px;
}
div#mainContent
{
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin: 0px;
width: 1000px
}
UPDATE:
I removed the asp menu control from the div and replaced it with plain text. It looked much more like you would expect, so it's leading me to believe it has something to do with the control itself. I haven't applied any styles to the control itself so im still lost.
Try adding styling to your skiplink:
#ctl04_SkipLink {
position:absolute;
left:-9999px;
}
It's caused by your hidden anchor before the ul. Haven't figured out why yet.
EDIT: Actually, it appears its your hidden image inside that anchor.
Being an ASP control issues, I didn't think I'd ever figure it out. It turns out that it WAS an issue with the way ASP was rendering the control. Thanks to Rob, we were able to narrow it down to a SkipLink. Since the page is personal, I don't need to worry about skiplinks so I opted to disable it completely. The way to do it in ASP is simply to set SkipLinkText to "" in the menu control.
For anyone else that comes across this, there are a few other tricks shown here:

Thanks guys
Try to add
top:0;
to .mainMenu and reload it a few times ;)

I can't remove the pressed effect of buttons in Internet Explorer 9

I'm trying to remove the pressed effect from button on IE9. In all other browsers I have no problems.
Please take a look to the code
HTML
<button class="fancy">howdy!</button>
CSS
.fancy {
width: 60px;
height: 30px;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px;
display: block;
border: none;
padding: 0;
color: #FFF;
font-size: 11px;
background: green;
outline: none;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 11px;
}
.fancy:active,.fancy:focus
{
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border: none;
outline:none;
text-indent: 0;
line-height: 11px;
}
Working demo http://jsfiddle.net/MDfvE/
As you can see, when you click the button on IE9 you will see that the text is moved to the right and bottom. I want to remove that.
Any clue? Thank you!
IE only recognizes the :active pseudo class when the element is an anchor.

Try changing the button element to an anchor tag and adjust the styling to recreate the look you had for your button.
It's a browser behaviour, a simple solution is to use a link tag instead of button (if its triggering a javascript function).
<img src="myimg"/>
If you still want to use the <button>, I've found that there are some characteristics on each browser (in a simple debug):
Chrome adds outline and padding
Firefox adds a whole lot of stuff with the standart button border
IE messes with the inner text position
So to fix them, you have to manipulate the pseudo selectors for the button behaviour. And for IE, a good solution is to envolve your text on a element, and make it relative positioned. Like so:
<button type="button" class="button"><span>Buttom or Image</span></button>
<style>
button,
button:focus,
button:active{
border:1px solid black;
background:none;
outline:none;
padding:0;
}
button span{
position: relative;
}
</style>

<button> padding / width problem

I'm using <button> to make a post request in a form. I also styled a a.button exactly like the <button> (I need the a.button to make some JS stuff).
The button has some padding, a fixed height. When I do specify the width of the button / a they both look the same. But when I add width to the <button> it ignores the padding.
I'm having this problem in Chrome, Firefox and Opera, so I guess it's not a rendering fault. Also same issue with <input type="submit" />
Here is the basic CSS:
.button, button {
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
border: 0;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
color: black;
background: #ddd;
font: 12px Verdana;
padding: 40px; /* 40px, so you can see that it won't be rendered with width */
text-align: center;
}
The HTML:
Some text
<button>Some text</button>
<!-- Works fine till here -->
<br /><br />
Some text
<button style="width:200px">Some text</button>
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9dtnz/
Any suggestions why the browsers are ignoring the padding? (top and bottom when using height / left and right when using width).
Very weird, I've seen my Chrome has a box-sizing: border-box; rule for input elements, so padding is included in width...
So to avoid that just specify box-sizing: content-box; (some prefix can be necessary).
It looks fine to me, so it might be a style sheet conflict issue. Try using !important to override whatever it may be and that could solve your problem.
.button, button {
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
border: 0;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
color: black;
background: #ddd;
font: 12px Verdana;
padding: 40px!important; /* 40px, so you can see that it won't be rendered with width */
text-align: center;
}
Hope this helps.
Michael.
