I'm using an Ajax Listsearchextender on one of my asp:DropDownList and it does not seems to behave correctly in Internet Explorer and Chrome.
In both browers, I can type my search words and hit Enter and the correct element WILL be selected, although none of the browser highlight the "suggested" option while typing. Chrome does not event change the promptText of the searchExtender while typing and in IE the opened DropDownList often covers the whole searchExtender so it is impossible to know if it's even there. Even though the searchExtender is technically working (selecting on enter), it lacks basic feedback in a way that makes it unusable in IE and Chrome.
On the other hand, in Firefox everything is working like a charm..
I'll put my code here for good measures, but since it's working in Firefox I am not sure if the problem resides there.
<ajaxToolkit:ListSearchExtender ID="lse_ddl" runat="server"
TargetControlID="ddl" PromptCssClass="PanelSearch" PromptText="Search.."/>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl" style="width:350px;" runat="server"/>
The only styling that I do to the searchExtender is adding a border so it can be more visible..
I was wondering if those where known issues and, if so, is there a way I can fix this? I also would like to know if there is a «more recommended» way to achieve dropbox auto-suggestion than using Ajax's Listsearchextender since it does not seems to be well supported.
Thanks!
For anyone who comes across this in the future - I had a similar issue except that Chrome worked fine for me while IE only displayed the last letter of the search prompt or anything typed into the box. I found some information here that indicated you need your target control to have an appropriate width. This works for Chrome but is not sufficient for IE. What I found to work is to update your PromptCssClass to include both a width and a border, like this:
.lse
{
width: 250px;
border:1px solid black;
border-style:ridge;
}
There are probably some other variations on this that would work, pending experimentation. YMMV.

After spending a while creating an online portfolio, then uploading it, I noticed an issue with one of my sections. On the "Advertisement" section, I noticed it was not displaying the information, just the title. So, I kept on re-pushing the stylesheet.css, even editing it, and it would still look the same. The HTML, CSS, and JS is working how I wrote it. But it is just the section that is not showing. After browsing online and on stackoverflow for an answer, I believe it has to do with Firefox. When using Firebug, I noticed the section's background has been removed, causing the entire section to "disappear." It works just fine on Chrome. I'm not worried about IE, I know that browser has some issues in itself. Anyway, would anyone on here have an idea to resolve this issue, if I can? Or even, what could be causing this issue?
Here is my website to see for yourselves. www.voelkerdesigner.com

It is the opposite for me your entire site works in firefox for me but not in chrome, looking through your code, its being caused by your naming conventions. Namely #advertise
I use the adguard extension in chrome and below is the css it plugs into my html pages to hide ads, so im guessing your using an adblocker in firefox
#adsense_top, #adsensewide, #adspace, #adspace_top, #adspot-300x250-pos-1, #adspot-300x250-pos-2, #adswidget1-quick-adsense, #adswidget2-quick-adsense, #adtext, #adtop, #adv-masthead, #adv-top, #advert1, #advert2, #advertbox3, #advertise, #advertisement1, #advertisetop, #advertising-container, #advertising_wrapper {
display: none!important;
}
Might as well post a random answer on this... As i wont visit posted links by new users.. i'm just gonna guess that your background image might not be 100%...
In general i use background-image instead of background.. Short hand can be a little pain and breaks in some browsers if not perfect.
so i would compare against the following example
background-image:url('images/mybg.jpg');
background-image:url('http://somesite.com/images/mybg.jpg');
Basically alot of people do not use the url and just go straight for a file name or dont quote it.. And have seen that be the problem in the past, so do use the url('') method.
Otherwise if it still fails to work and you know the image is absolute, you would then have some other css that is either over riding your elements background or is preventing it from loading.
Another trick is using your console / inspect element to manually inject the background-image and see if that works... So once the page has loaded in chrome, inspect the element as normal.. And double click on your css property listing as you can add your own styles this way and if it fails, then its not the markup but something else.
In IE10, border is not getting displayed on page load, it displays only after I hover over that particular section. Its looking fine in IE9 and Firefox, the issue persists only in IE10.
Unfortunately I couldn't share code as its a restricted internal dev environment.
If anyone of you came across such scenario, please share the solution. Thanks in advance!
If you are familiar css then you might also know that the issue you have mentioned "displays only after I hover" will occur only when you have put something like the following in css
#a : hover
{
border:5px solid white;
}
If you haven't mentioned such thing in your Stylesheet or inside html tags then what #MarioErmando said would be the issue. Try using F12 Developer tools in IE to check.
Problem:
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm having a problem which I need to solve as simple as possible. There's a website I'm re-developing, but since I updated to IE8, I've totaly forgotten about IE7, but ofcourse, there are still people using it.
I need to know what specific things I should change for this site to display the same way as it does in IE8. But I don't know where to start. Is there anyone with experience in this, who can give me a guideline? Are there scripts for doing so?
URL: http://www.testsite.c-tz.nl/
If you view this with IE8 it looks perfect.
But if you view it with IE7, things are not where they supposed to be, very ugly.
As the other said, your question is to broad. You'll need to break it down in smaller problems - which will possibly help you solve it yourself along the way.
One thing I did notice: IE has problems with display: inline-block on elements, which were orignally block elements. Either use span (only possible if it doesn't contain block elements), or use another method to places blocks side by side such as float.
BTW, you have far too many divs in your HTML. It's not necessary to wrap every img, every ul, etc. in it's own div. Usually any styles you apply to the div can just as well be applied you the "wrapped" element directly.
This is not a cool idea... But you can try when you are sick with very old browsers like ie6 or ie5 ...
1.use javascript to detect the browser and version..
2.later use the similar way to redirect the visitor to download the IE 8..
<script>
if(''+browserName+''+fullVersion+'' == "Microsoft Internet Explorer6.0" )
{
alert("You're using an Old Browser.Update the browser to view the website.(or) Try Latest Google Chrome , Firefox , Safari, Opera")
window.location = "http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=43"
}
//document.write(''+browserName+''+fullVersion+'');
</script>
today I hit F12 in FF to load FireBug to see what my site was thinking. Then saw this:
The facts showing from above:
My site likes using them "rounded", alot of them...;
My site is loaded with errors, at least as FireBug sees it.
Is FireFox right and should I assess this and if so how do I change it since I think this is crucial for IE and is the default CSS3 spec, right? Or is there something else happening thats causing all this things to show up in FireBug? I would be happy to hear what I should do to make all this disappear again, really.
Open the drop down in your console tab and un-tick stuff like "show CSS errors".
Also, it's not a bad thing. If Firefox comes across a property it doesn't know (such as border-radius at the time this question was asked) it will just ignore it and continue with the next property. This is why for instance -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; works. Firefox will ignore the -webkit- prefixed one, it would recognize the -moz- prefixed one and ignore the non-prefixed one because the non-prefixed one had not yet been implemented in the version of Firefox you used. (It is now no longer needed to prefix border-radius unless you're supporting an ancient browser)
You might want to pop the IE-specific properties (filter and zoom) into an IE-specific stylesheet, and include that with conditional comments.
As for the rest, you’ve just got an older version of Firefox that doesn’t recognise the newer properties. That’s fine, it won’t do any harm. (Somewhat odd that moz-opacity isn’t recognised, as I thought that had been around for ages, but it’s fine.)
Check this
I think you need to use -moz-border-radius:... declarations for FireFox :)
For all those out there that claim FireFox to be the superior browser, why can't FireFox properly format a link when a vbscript is contained in the HREF?
Example:
<A HREF="<% =DEF_ROOT %>Products/category.asp?ID=1" CLASS="normal_link">
This link will not apply the formatting specified by the class until it has been clicked on at least once, however, the hover formatting will work. It seems as FireFox can't tell it is a link until the user actually clicks it. This is not a problem in IE.
If anyone knows a solution, I'd very much appreciate it.
Because Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports it.
