Safari appears to be ignoring CSS - css

I'm doing some changes to a wordpress theme, but Safari (both on Mac and iOS) seems to be ignoring some of the CSS, whereas other browsers work fine.
An example - this is how it looks in Chrome and Safari:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cystennin/chrome-safari.png
This is the CSS I've used, specifically for the images.
.homeleftside1 img {
width: 70px;
height: auto;
margin-right: 15px;
float: left;
border-radius: 100%;
}
I've got a test site here so you can see what I mean: link removed
Any ideas where I am going wrong? Thanks

Is it possible that Safari doesn't support border-radius?
Try to add -khtml-border-radius: 50%;, that should work...
Similar question: Rounded cornes (border radius) Safari issue

Just took a look in Safari and Chrome, but Safari isn't even listing the styles you set in your stylesheet in the list of matched styles for that particular image you're targeting. However, Safari is reporting a couple of errors in your stylesheet: a couple of mismatched curly braces etc. Maybe they are throwing off WebKit? (Would have posted as a comment, but don't have enough rep yet.)

How to change the color of the scrollbar for Microsoft Edge?

I want make the scrollbar for my site dark and customize it. It works on Chrome with ::-webkit-scrollbar but it doesn't work on Edge -- I couldn't find way changing the scrollbar color on Microsoft Edge.
Does anyone know how to do this? Please help :)
There is currently no way to do this in Microsoft Edge. In IE there were vendor specific, non-standard, CSS properties to achieve this. These were removed in MS Edge as they could be used to target the browser and break compatibility with sites that were expecting old IE behaviour (the properties are very old). Unfortunately there are no good standard properties in CSS to replace these at the moment.
There is a UserVoice suggestion you can vote on to add a method to style scrollbars. We use this as one of the inputs when planning feature priorities in the EdgeHTML engine.
The following worked for me:
/* Works on Chrome, Edge, and Safari */
*::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 12px;
}
*::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background: orange;
}
*::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background-color: blue;
border-radius: 20px;
border: 3px solid orange;
}

CSS :not pseudo-class not working as expected in IE9

Unfortunately, I'm stuck working with legacy code in IE9.
Long story short, I'm cloning an itinerary template (hidden) using jQuery and applying a top border to all clones except the first visible (which is really the second actual because the template is hidden).
What I'm running into is that the border renders in Chrome, FF, and Opera, but not IE9. I think it's because I'm stringing several pseudo-classes together, though in my mind that shouldn't cause a problem.
I'm targeting the itineraries as follows:
#itinerary table.formTable:not(:nth-child(2)):after {
content: "";
border-top: 1px solid #999999;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
margin-top: -130px;
margin-left: 17px;
display: block;
}
Basically, apply the above CSS to all except the second itinerary.
The qusetion is, why is this happening in IE9? According to can I use, the pseudo-class is suported. Is this becuse I've strung so many into this particular rule? I'm at a loss.
Here's how it's supposed to look (Chrome):
Here's what's going on in IE9:
Here's a close-up of the CSS from the IE9 screenshot:
Extended arguments are not supported in IE9 for the pseudo-class :not
here are the docs on that issue
Most likely you can use
#itinerary table.formTable:not(:nth-child(2))
but not
#itinerary table.formTable:not(:nth-child(2)):after
Fortunately IE9 supports conditional commenting so you can write a fallback for IE9 and >

What ie-specific CSS do I need to add to my Wordpress site to fix this issue?

Here is how the site looks on Internet Explorer:
http://www.browserstack.com/screenshots/0c3c039e85f44bb70fddfc34b887b5bbc3357899
I've only seen it on the latest version of IE on Windows 8.1, but it's possible that it happens on older versions as well. Unfortunately, I'm on a Mac and can't find any emulators to run IE.. So I am coming to the greatest community of tech-savvy people I know of for help.
The site (built with Wordpress) is commercialpaintersinc.com. It looks great on Google Chrome and Safari.. so this issue seems to be just in IE (although I haven't tested in Firefox either..).
This is how it is supposed to look:
Anyone got any idea as to what CSS I entered that caused the issue and/or how I can fix it to make it look how it is supposed to on ALL browsers?
Any feedback is majorly appreciated. Thanks!
You are presently using negative margins to adjust layout, which is giving wildly different results in all three major rendering engines (Trident, Blink, and Gecko). I would advise against this, as it's likely these vendors will need to discuss whose approach is correct, or if all three need to adjust to be in better conformance with a fourth alternative.
The primary issue is is the over-hang of your logo beyond your negative margin. If you were to position the image absolutely, you could get more consistent results. However, upon doing so you will need to restore the layout of your header since a crucial element will no longer contribute to its dimensions.
#logo {
position: absolute;
}
#main-header {
min-height: 160px;
}
The above two rules appear to restore the layout for me in IE, and Firefox. That being said, I still think Chrome may be in the wrong here - you should always test your layout regularly in all three major browsers to ensure you aren't building on top of a browser bug.
I work on the Internet Explorer team, and have filed an issue internally for us to investigate this particular layout anomaly further. I've created a reduced demo of the issue as a public fiddle as well.
If you need to test Internet Explorer from a Mac in the future, please visit http://modern.ie.
Thank you all for the help. I was having a mental blockage and once again this community helped me to move forward.
Jonathan Sampson was correct that the root cause was that the CSS was not originally done correctly. I did the CSS edits myself and I am self-taught, so this was no surprise to me, haha. However, I had already come up with a solution.
My Solution:
I used the famous CSS Browser Selector script which can be found here: http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector
I added it to my JS folder (mysite.com/wp-includes/js/css_browser_selector.js) and then added:
<script src="css_browser_selector.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
right before the </head> tag in the header.php file.
At that point I was able to just create browser-specific CSS. It's dumb that FF and IE are so picky when it originally worked fine how I had it in both Chrome and Safari... But oh well.
Here is the code for Chrome/Safari vs. the code for Firefox/IE:
Chrome/Safari (Webkit):
.webkit #logo {
margin-bottom: 10px;
max-height: 110px;
position: relative;
z-index: 99999;
background: #fff;
border-radius: 150px;
border: 20px solid #fff;
}
.webkit #main-header {
padding: 10px 0 0 0;
margin-bottom: -65px;
margin-top: -20px;
}
Firefox (and same used for IE as well):
.gecko .et_pb_slider {
top: -60px;
margin-bottom: -63px;
}
.gecko #logo {
margin-bottom: 10px;
max-height: 110px;
position: relative;
z-index: 99999 !important;
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #FFF;
border: 20px solid #FFF !important;
border-radius: 150px;
}
.gecko #main-header {
margin-top: -20px;
}
So yeah I didn't see Jon's answer until after I had "fixed" the issue. So, I will leave it as is.. although I'm sure my CSS is very sloppy! :P

border-left not working in Safari

I want to use to simulate a cursor by adding the following class to it.
.cursor {
border-left: 1px solid red;
margin-right: -1px;
display: inline;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
It works perfectly fine in Firefox. However, nothing is shown in Safari. I've been trying many different values. It seems like border-left is not understood by Safari although w3c claims that it's supported by all major browsers.
Can someone please help me fix this problem?
Thanks,
It seems to work fine for me, using your exact code. I've created a jsFiddle here, which displays a red "caret" in Safari.
Is there a particular Safari version you're having problems with? Does the jsFiddle shown work for you? It uses only the code you've provided.
On further investigation, it seems that the span must have content in order to show the border. I'm not sure exactly why -- perhaps Safari is "optimising out" the empty span, or giving it zero height, or something like that.
This appears to be a WebKit issue, as the same behaviour occurs in Chrome. As a workaround, if you set a height on the span, it seems to work. If I change your CSS to:
.cursor {
border-left: solid 1px red;
margin-right: -1px;
display: block;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
height: 1em;
}
...that is, adding a height to the span, then your border displays whether or not it has content. Therefore I guess what's going on is that without content, WebKit is giving no height to your span, and therefore no border. Which is perfectly sensible behaviour, really.
Here is your original jsfiddle, with a height added, that works in Safari and Chrome.
border-left style works on safari v1.0+
See my code snipped that I've just tested on Safari 5.0.2 and it worked:
http://jsfiddle.net/DqhfJ/1/
in fact all css tags that you provided - work in Safari 1.0+ , except display tag (it works in Safari 1.3.2+)

Odd CSS positioning error in FireFox and IE

For some reason, I have some problem with my CSS positioning on a social networking sharing tray on my site..
The even odder aspect of the problem is that it's only showing up in IE and FF..
I've tried playing with the CSS properties in FireBugg, but to no avail.
The link is here:
http://www.marioplanet.com/index.asp
The look in FF and IE makes the icons look all jumbled, while in Safari and Chrome, you can see that they are all lined up properly.
Could anyone help explain this odd phenomenon?
Try add this rule, it's image border when I view it in FF.
a.trayIcon img { border: 0px; }
I changed line 85 in default.css:
#facebookicon, #youtubeicon {
margin-left: 22.5px;
}
to
#facebookicon, #youtubeicon {
margin-left: 17px;
}
and it looks like chrome.
