use initial width for element not working in IE - css

I have a graph plugin that inserts canvas and a legend <table> to its container. In this plugin the table has no width defined and in my CSS there is a width for tables inside that container were my plugin gets inserted.
So, the new div is inheriting table{ width: 100%} from the CSS and rendering wrong.
I tried to use width: initial;, looks good on Chrome but IE doesn't like it check browser compatibility
I admit changing/forcing a inline CSS in the script/plugin since it has to work in any enviroment.
What is the best solution here?

Like you said, generally width: auto will have a similar effect. Having the rules:
.my-selector {
width: auto;
width: initial;
}
Should cause it to use initial if it's supported and auto otherwise.

Using width: auto; inline, inside the script solves the problem on Chrome, FIrefox and IE 11. Just not sure if there is a better way.

css resizing input box

I'm trying to reduce the size of an input box on a mobile device and the css won't work.
I used google dev tools to get the name of the element (input#calc_shipping_postcode.input-text) but when I try and specify the width in CSS nothing happens.. the page is -https://ffe-dev.flowersforeveryone.co.za/flower-delivery/
the CSS i'm trying to use is -
input#calc_shipping_postcode.input-text {
width: 270px;
}
Can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks
The problem with your site is that width are set to 350px by inline styling.
This is caused from some wordpress plugin (maybe this set from WPBakey).
One solution is to find out what is causing this styling in wordpress then edit it.
Other fast workaround solution is to override ths by adding !important to your css property like:
input#calc_shipping_postcode.input-text {
width: 270px !important;
}
Instated of adding width in px use %. will work in all devices.
try this.
input#calc_shipping_postcode {
width: 100% !important;
max-width: 350px;
}

Trying to change width on dynamic created panel, but not working

I have a dynamic created page with a panel which contains this:
<div class="x-panel-body x-panel-body-default x-panel-body-default" id="panel-1026-body" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 1819px; height: 29px;">
I want to change the width of this panel, but the problem is that the width is not being overwritten.
What I have tried to do in my css is:
#panel-1026-body {
width: 400px;
}
This does not work, since the width still stays 1819px as auto-created by the panel. How ever, it seems that it is only the width: that it won't accept, if I fx. add a margin-left: 400px; or background-color: red; it works.
Does anyone know what might be the cause of the width not taking effect?
I have provided the info that I think is relevant, but please let me know if you need more info
Thank you
It is because when your set a value in your element like style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 1819px; height: 29px;", it will be prioritary on the CSS.
Rapid solution :
#panel-1026-body {
width: 400px !important;
}
But it's a very bad pratice to use !important
Cool solution
Try to remove all the style of your element and put it into a CSS class. After, put your CSS code, who will be prioritary on the code before.
inline-styles have greater specificity so with normally you can't override that. You need to use !important:
#panel-1026-body {
width: 400px !important;
}
And yes margin-left or background-color works as these are not defined in that inline-style.
Changing a complex component dimensions (panel, grid, tree, etc.) with CSS is generally not a good idea in Ext. The dimension you see in the DOM, in your case 1819px can also be set on some children of the panel depending on layout.
Thus, you would need to use css that addresses main container div plus all necessary children. Such solution is very vulnerable because the DOM structure can (and it does) change with Ext upgrades - sometimes even minor upgrades may introduce a change of DOM.
You should always set dimensions programmatically calling panel.setWidth(), panel.setHeight(), panel.setSize() or similar. Ext then takes care about itself and sets the width to all DOM elements it needs.
As all suggested in this topic, the solution was to add:
width: 400px !important;
This solved my problem. Gratitude to all that helped

Bootstrap based theme broken in IE10

http://metagraf.github.io has been behaving well in all tested browser until IE10 came along. The top menu is overlaying the entire page when viewed in IE10.
A screenshot of how the page looks in IE10 can be seen here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2897577/ie10.png
Any ideas on how to fix this?
regards Oskar
So when I run the site in question in IE 10, yes indeed, the top menu does look buggy in IE 10.
The immediate source of the problem is the img in the navbar.
If you hit F12 and use IE's developer toolbar, and then if you set the width property of the img from auto to just being un-checked (so that auto is no longer the value, the site all of the sudden looks normal.
Digging deeper into the issue, here's the css setting for img in bootstrap:
img {
width: auto\9;
height: auto;
max-width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 0;
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}
Ok, so what in the world is width: auto\9?
Well, looks like it is an IE hack, but a hack that does not apply to IE 10.
CSS \9 in width property
http://www.paulirish.com/2009/browser-specific-css-hacks/
So as a quick fix, I suppose one thing you could do would be to set a custom css property
on the img in the navbar that is exact about the width of the img.

Responsive Images won't Scale with Firefox as screen size is adjusted. Works in other Browsers

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.

Internet Explorer width issue

*I'm re-posting this question because I only got one response before, and it didn't work. Hopefully someone new will see this and know what to do! *
I'm using IP Net Renderer to view my newly installed forum (http://www.datesphere.com/forum/) in IE7. If you care to take a look, you can see the forum is overflowing its containing element (it's wider than the 960px container I have for my entire site).
I've tried adding overflow:hidden to the .wrapper class as well as width:100% to .tborder per advice received on StackOverflow, but it didn't work.
The forum renders correctly in IE8+, FF, Chrome and Safari, but not IE 7. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
If you use IE9/8 and run the Developer toolbar you will notice that the global.css that is being generated is different for IE7 from IE8. Take a look at what is generating that Style Sheet for you and see if you can modify it to make the MIN-WIDTH:930px; or MIN-WIDTH:100%;
Or a second option add somewhere after the glboal.css style sheet a inline-style or on page css or link another style sheet .wrapper { MIN-WIDTH:930px !important; } or .wrapper { MIN-WIDTH:100% !important; } so that it overrides whats generated in the global.css file.
IE7:
.wrapper {
MIN-WIDTH: 970px; MARGIN: auto; WIDTH: 85%; MAX-WIDTH: 1500px
}
IE8:
.wrapper {
MARGIN: auto
}
Change your min-width value for your wrapper class. You can set an static width or set it to 100%.
Remove #wrapper div
And set IE7 specific .tborder {display:inline-table}
