So I have a standard 960 width website where the content is, and I have boxes set up that are 300 width, and 10 margin on each side, so they will float 3 across. It looks fine in FF and Chrome, but why in IE does the 3rd box always jump down to the next line and throw off the positiong. It's like IE reads widths differently than any other browser. It is soooo annoying, is there any way to fix this?
You have to reset all elements before start (CSS reset)
Example : http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/
Why ? : CSS reset - What exactly does it do?
As l2aelba says, you need to reset your elements. The problem is that each browser has its own set of default values for various elements. So IE might add padding that the others don't, making your elements too big to fit so they wrap around.
Resetting makes each browser display things as similarly as possible.
Without seeing your HTML and CSS there is no sure way to determine what your problem attribute is.
Solution:
Your problem is this line:
max-width: 68.571428571rem;
It is on ine 1967 of your css. It is overriding your 960 width, because that value is actually smaller than 960px, because it comes second. Not even sure why you have that in there...
After looking at your site, you have this style in your style sheet
.site {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 960px;
max-width: 68.571428571rem;
overflow: hidden;
}
beware of em as it's calculated differently in different browsers, in IE it calculates to around 955.4px, which is why you're getting the wrapping.
Change the style to
.site {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 960px;
overflow: hidden;
}
and you should be fine.

I have a problem with CSS page-break-inside: avoid. I have some printing blocks which have this css attribute set, however Safari breaks any content just as the real page break occurs, while it works in all other major browsers (current versions) I've tested so far.
It doesn't seem to matter which type of content the printing block holds as I've seen this behavior with both a table and a canvas element being split up right in the middle.
As far as http://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/p/page-break/ and https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariCSSRef/Articles/StandardCSSProperties.html is concerned it should work. Couldn't find any additional and recent information on this matter with a quick search.
I'm on Windows 7 & Safari 5.1.7.
Try using display: inline-block; instead of page-break-inside: avoid;. You may also want to add vertical-align: top; and width: 100%; to make the elements behave like normal block elements instead of inline elements.
This technique has been working reliably since long before page-break-inside: avoid; was implemented in most browsers. It's still the most reliable cross-platform way to prevent page breaks in a block of content.
If you want to make a table unbreakable, you can set display: inline-table; on it. Or you can just put it in an inline-block div.
page-break-inside: avoid (or variations thereof) seems to fail on Safari occasionally b/c its use depends very much on the display of the containing element and its height.
Mine was broken b/c I had defined the original page layout of the containing element to have height: 100%, which looks benign on the browser but I would notice that my elements were broken across pages in the print preview.
My fix was just to explicitly set the height of my container back to the browser default:
#media print {
// Explicitly set height: auto
.page-container {
display: block;
height: auto;
}
section {
break-inside: avoid;
}
}
This on Safari v14.1.2
I'm new to responsive images but have figured out how to get my images to scale in Safari, Opera, and Chrome (don't know about IE) with the following CSS:
img {
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
As the screen size is changed, the image scales. In Firefox, the image doesn't scale, unless I change width:auto to width:100%; Then Safari scrunches up the image to nothing upon load or reload; although, clearing cash makes it full size. I'm working on Drupal with the Zen 7.5-dev responsive theme. And I'm keeping my css files in SASS, but this is probably just a CSS issue. Maybe I've missed something on the HTML 5 or CSS3 side of things.
Anyway, I got things to work by overriding the image width a Firefox specific directive like this:
/* Make Firefox images scale with screen width. The width:100% messes up on Safari */
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
img {
width: 100%;
}
}
I don't think I should have to do this, and googling doesn't seem to come across this issue.
This is the default CSS that is used for responsive Images:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
width:100%;
}
And this is the indispensable Javascript: Bongard.net
Thanks to David Bongard for the Javascript.
Now add the following to the "if safari" rule of the Script:
for (var i = 0; i < document.getElementsByTagName("img").length; i++) {
document.getElementsByTagName("img")[i].style.width = "auto";
}
Safari wants width:auto; the rest of the browsers i tested are happy with width:100%;
This works for me
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
img{
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
}
#media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
img{
max-width: 100%;
}
}
I have similar problem, and found out setting max-width on the wrapper element kinda solves the issue. (Only tested with Firefox 23, but it should works with earlier Firefox too.) See also these JSFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/ (demonstrate the issue on Firefox)
http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/1/ (uses max-width on wrapper to fix the issue)
http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/4/ (demonstrate that responsive sizing works, try resizing inner frame)
Before max-width:
After max-width:
One thing to note, however, if you happens to set padding on wrapper element, it won't be taken into img's width calculation and will cause inconsistent results between Firefox and Safari (http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/3/):
Chances are your image is inside a shrink-wrapping container, which then has to compute it's width based on the width of the image. And then the max-width of the image is 100% of the container's width.
If that's what's going on, the CSS spec doesn't actually define the behavior of such markup, where the parent's width depends on the child and the child's width depends on the parent.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=823483 for some discussion on the issue.
If you use the width for image in px or gave padding or used display:table instead of display:block for the image, then image responsiveness will not work properly on some/all browsers
Well after trying all sorts of codes and fidles, this simple edition on my css did the trick for me:
img {width: 100%;}
Simply then where you wish your images to resize, define them without adding the "width" parameter (sizing to original from source); and then if you do wish to fix their size, simply add the "width" parameter on SRC style (regular width="" definition won't work). If it's an inline image on your paragraph, simply wrap it in a div and align that div to whatever side you'd like. Reeeeally simple!
It works both for Google, Firefox and IE. Cheers!
I have just had this problem and found a solution: When I set the img max-width in my CSS sheet, nothing happens - the image won't scale. When I set max-width in the page itself - where the image is called, it works in all browsers and on all devices.
No:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto; }
Yes:
<img src ="image.jpg" style="max-width:100%; height:auto;">
If anyone can shed some light of wisdom on this, please do.
I used Kridsada Thanabulpong's jsfiddle but only got it to work when I removed display:table from the div wrapping my image.
I'm working on an interface and this thing is bugging me.
Please see: http://jsfiddle.net/NUKxX/
It works in Chrome but not in Firefox. The basic idea in Chrome is that the longest word in each columns stretches the td or th to appropriate length in order to preserve space. But in Firefox input elements seem to completely ignore max-width and min-width.
I tried fiddling around with position:absolute on the input and position:relative on the th but Firefox ignores the latter mentioned as well.
How do I make it work?
th input {
min-width: 10px;
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
Correct the problem here (FF 17.0.1).

I had big trouble with printing from Firefox (any version, mine is 16.0.2, but even Aurora dev builds did the same).
When printing the page, Shrink to fit in the Print preview doesn't work. Only way, how to fit the page onto the paper is selecting Zoom 70% in the same dialog.
Other problem:
it prints only first page.
What to do?
I needed to adapt the CSS file for printing, so I've done one. It works flawlessly anywhere, but not in Firefox. What was the problem?
First I've tried specifying Width and height for BODY and HTML in the print.css file. Than margins, etc.
Later I figured out what was the problem:
standard CSS file had the following in it:
body {
...
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
So I've added the following into the print.css file:
body {
overflow-x: visible;
overflow-y: visible;
}
I guess, if you had only overflow specified in the CSS, not -x & -y, you would need to specify only overflow:visible in the print.css file.
Printing from Firefox works now as it should. I just thought, that this may help somebody, who has strange printing behavior happening in Firefox.
In addition to the Kokesh's answer, some times attribute
display: table
generates this problem too. So you need change it to 'block' or another that fits to your requeriments.
I tried the fixes suggested in other answers but they didn't solve the problem for me. After a lot of research and trial & error, I have found this article by A list apart. I was skeptical because it's so old but it states that:
If a floated element runs past the bottom of a printed page, the rest of the float will effectively disappear, as it won’t be printed on the next page.
As I have a big floated container I thought I'd give it a try. So, I made a mix from the other answers and this article and came up with this:
body {
overflow: visible !important;
overflow-x: visible !important;
overflow-y: visible !important;
}
/*this is because I use angular and have this particular layout*/
body > .fade-ng-cloak {
height: 100%;
display: block;
flex: none;
float: none;
}
.l-content,
.l-sidebar {
float: none;
}
So basically:
Setting body to overflow: visible
Setting elements that behave as wrappers to display: block, eliminate all flex styles and reset height if necessary
Eliminate float on long containers
That mix worked for me! I'm so happy I thought I'd share :)
i have a div on a web page that basically acts as a panel container. i want it to:
have a minimum width of 1000px; So no matter how small the content inside the div is, it will at least keep the panel to 1000px in width:
in terms of max width, it should keep going as big as the content within it. So if a person has a 24 inch monitor and they want to maximize the browser it should keep growing until the content inside doesn't have any scroll bars and then stop.
needs to work in all browsers.
how would i do this in css?
Assuming this item is a block element (i.e. "display: block"), it should scale automatically as wide as its containing element (in this case the browser window).
In CSS, just specify "min-width: 1000px." This will work in IE8+ and all modern browsers.
try this
#panel {
min-width: 1000px;
diplay: block;
overflow: hidden; }
Try this:
#panel
{
/* Other styles */
min-width:1000px;
/*width:100%; - removed as it will create horizontal scrollbar if margin and padding aren't 0 as per Josh's comment.*/
}
However, you will problems with older browsers like IE6 which do not like the min-width thingy in which case you will need to use JavaScript.
