I discovered a strange issue today which seems to be a bug in Firefox 35.0. When specifying a text-indent property for a select element, Firefox seems to double the pixel value. Other browsers are correctly displaying the indent.
Is there a workaround to avoid this? I'm forced to use text-indent rather than padding to work around various other browser inconsistencies (specifically webkit on a Mac). I need to use text-indent but I'm unable to stop the value from doubling in Firefox.
Here's an example showing the issue: http://jsfiddle.net/k92dvxte/1/
Thanks for the help.
Explaining what #sydonia said:
You'll just have to put this code after the select rule in your CSS:
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
select {
text-indent: 50px;
}
}

I have a dropdown list in my application whereby in order to center it I must add padding-top 10px while on Mozilla Firefox but on google chrome it does not need the padding. How can I target the select list to set this browser specific. I was hoping I could have done something like the following:
select {
-moz-padding-top: 10px;
-webkit-padding-top: 0px;
}
Any ideas of how I could get round this? Fiddle of problem shown below, if you check this in Chrome and then Firefox, I want it so that text is always in middle

Note: the first part of this answer is now obsolete, as this feature has been removed from Firefox. For the real answer, read on from "However".
The answer to your question is: yes, it's possible to put Mozilla-specific CSS in a stylesheet. (Not in an inline style attribute.)
In this case, you would write
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
select {padding-top:10px;}
}
which is simply the Mozilla-prefixed version of the #document rule, that is not recognised by other browsers.
However, the actual solution to the problem of the mismatched text position is to not set the height, but only the padding of the select. No hacks.
style="font-size: 14px; padding: 11px 0 11px 5px;"
That has the desired effect in all browsers. See new fiddle.
I'm trying to have our Wordpress blog display a little better in IE8 and below (it works great in IE9, Firefox & Chrome). A big issue seems to be IE8's lack of support for negative margins, so the gap which we have between the posts column and the side widgets is non-existent in IE8.
URL: http://trekcore.com/blog
The CSS controlling that separation is here:
#secondary {
float:right;
width:300px;
margin-right:-320px;
}
Any help on suggestions for conditional CSS to fix this in IE8 and under would be most appreciated!
you should validate your html markups, 35 Errors and 11 warnings wont help.
in the meanwhile, try this fix :
.negative-margin-element {
zoom: 1; /* ie hax*/
position: relative; /* ie forced behavious*/
}
You are using HTML5 elements and IE8 does not understand them and will ignore them and you can't apply CSS to them because IE8 won't know they exist. To fix IE, you need to add the html5shiv. This will add those elements to IE8's DOM tree and set them to block level.
You can write your own code and CSS to do the same thing but the shiv is convenient.
check this page out: http://jsbin.com/itufix with IE (page automatically enables IE7 mode).
Here you'll find examples how inline elements (input and span) are rendered as with display block. All elements margins and padding is set to 0.
If you use Developer tools for IE (IE8-9) you could have noticed that input shows offset: 1.
Can anyone explain what is actually happening and how to fix this?
NOTES
Adding float to input fix this, but this is not an option. I need to get this done without float.
Input/span and its div parents property hasLayout value is true!
Any info related to this bug is welcome.
UPDATE:
Here are more examples of how styles are used: http://jsbin.com/itufix/13. Each field can have description under it, plus the whole div.form-item may float (in case I need more than one field in line)
If you can't float the input (why?) then you could do this:
*+html input {
margin-top: -1px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
}
http://jsbin.com/itufix/5
That's using a CSS hack so the workaround is only applied in IE7.
Looking at your CSS, I see the following:
div.form-item{
padding: 0 1px;
}
Changing this to padding:0; seems to remove all padding on the form fields to my eyes. See:

Or am I missing something?
I want to style all my th elements the same (white text on black background) apart from a couple of usages where this formatting is not wanted - in which case I add a class of no-headers to the table element.
th {background-color: #000000; color:#FFF;}
table.no-headers th {color:inherit; background-color:inherit ;border:inherit; }
So here is some example markup if you needed some
<table><tr><th>This has a black bground</th></tr></table>
<table class="no-headers"><tr><th>This inherits bground from parent</th></tr></table>
This works fine in IE 8/9 and FF and Chrome but not in IE 7.
IE 7 just will not use the 2nd rule - despite it being more selective.
In fact I have tried all sorts to fix this problem - all to no avail.
I have tried adding the no-headers class on the th element too
th {background-color: #000000; color:#FFF;}
th.no-headers {color:inherit; background-color:inherit ;border:inherit; }
<table><tr><th class="no-headers">This inherits bground from parent</th></tr></table>
and even that doesn't work - I am left feeling like I am doing something really obviously stupid / wrong - but then again it works fine in other browsers!
Any help greatly appreciated.
IE7 does not recognize the inherit keyword (except on a few obscure properties).
Your best bet is to specify the default colors manually.
According to this SO post: IE7 CSS inheritance does not work IE didn't suport inherit until IE8. So you will have to specify the color, background, and border specifically.
IE7 does not support style inheriting. That was introduced in IE8.
See: IE7 CSS inheritance does not work
This is not a huge problem, since IE8 is a universal upgrade from IE7, unlike IE9, which is only available for Windows NT6 and above.
The following web page is not showing properly in IE 9.
It seems to be only a problem in IE 9.

the list-style-image are over the image!
IE9
Firefox, Chrome, IE8, ...
EDIT: I know how to fix it! But I want to know what is really going on with IE9
Fixed: http://froyo.tv/test/index_fix.php
I'm not sure why IE9 is behaving differently, but you can fix it to work consistently by:
Removing margin-right: 30px on .image.
Removing width: 500px on .detail (you may wish to add back a smaller width)
Adding float: left to .detail.
Here's a simple reproduction of the problem.
Broken: http://jsfiddle.net/Nh3kf/
Fixed: http://jsfiddle.net/Nh3kf/1/
This is a fix for the problem in IE9:
li{list-style-position: inside;}
I guess that IE9 doesn't have the list bullets "inside".
Se the fix here:
http://jsfiddle.net/Nh3kf/40/
Okay, using Chrome I can see the custom list images, IE9 doesn't handle list-style-image.
Instead of using it, try this:
li {background:url(your_image.jpg) center left;}
