Blurry background images after update to IE11 - css

So this morning I got an automatic update to IE 11, after checking my eyes it appears that some of my background images are blurry.
I had to check that it was not my image causing the problem, so after firing up Chrome, they were nice and crisp again...
I am completely baffled.
I've now uninstalled the IE11 update and they are once again nice and crisp in IE10... Has anyone else encountered this?
I've included a screen shot showing the images in the different browsers.
Here is a link to a jsfiddle, I don't have IE11 any longer to test but its the same markup and CSS that I am using: http://jsfiddle.net/3g52E/

Well i can see what is causing this problem. It's the border-radius of your ._ui.
Now i can't tell you why this happens. However if you want to fix this you can or don't use border-radius or, which is a better solution i my opinion, use the <img> tag to generate the background.
Use image element
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/DauuVHW.png" />
Now to cut-off your image you can just use position: relative;, position: absolute; and a overflow: hidden;:
.block1 > div
{
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
This will add the properties on ._ui _bre and ._ui _com.
Where the basic image properties are:
img
{
position: absolute;
left: 2px;
}
Now you can just use the top and bottom offset for the the image positioning. Where as you used background-position before:
._bre._ui img
{
top: -68px;
}
._com._ui img
{
top: -24px;
}
This way your image is not a part of the element which has border-radius anymore, which caused this problem. They have a more clear seperation now; 2 different elements.

There is probably more elegant way to fix blurry images in IE 11.
In our app we have icons on buttons with round corners. Removing round corners or using <img> for icons were not options.
However, what worked for us was "classic" images optimization for retina displays, i.e. saving button background images with twice larger resolution and then specifying original size in background-size.
Looks great in IE 11 and on retina displays.

According to this:How to write a CSS hack for IE 11?
I added this code to my CSS:
#media all and (-ms-high-contrast:none){
*::-ms-backdrop, .my_elements_with_border_radius { border-radius: 0 }
}
With this browser hack the borders are not round anymore in IE11 but at least the background images are not blurry anymore. In any other browsers they are still round.

Loss of image quality in IE?

Within my template, my img css contains the following lines of code:
img{
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
Whenever I place an image inside of one of my div or set widths tags, the image appropriately shrinks and modifies itself as within the CSS.
However in IE (not Chrome or Firefox), the image becomes pixelated upon the auto adjustment.
I've looked around for solutions, but nothing has worked in my favor yet.
IE's image rendering isn't the greatest. Try adding this:
img {
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}

Fixed position misbehaviour in IE11

I am experiencing elements position misbehaviour into my page, in IE(11) only; live link here. The logotext, the menu and the left sidebar text, remain in place doesn't move with the wrapper when the left slider is open (clicking on info+ button). I've read about position: fixed + transition in IE problems.
I've tried to apply position: expression(fixed); to the header but something went wrong and the wrapper receive a brake-movement at open/closing slider. (The sidebar didn't work with position: expression(fixed);)
Also I've tried to tweak the css modifying the element position values in static/ absolute but without succees.Tests are made in full screen, the theme is not for mobile screens.Any thoughts?
LE: I've found a possible solution that works with the slider in IE11:
.header {
position: absolute;
}
.bar-side {
position: absolute;
}
Will work with the slider but also will move on vertical scroll.If I ca fix that somehow, could be a solution.
This may be way too late, but I had a similar issue with position:fixed and IE11, for a full page DIV (by specifying top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;). Worked fine on Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera, but IE11 displayed the DIV at way under the full viewport size, and with rounded corners that seem to have inherited somehow from the parent.
Playing with the IE11 developer tools, I found an alternate option suggested as a parameter for position - "-ms-page". Using position: -ms-page sorted the issue; preceding this with position: fixed allowed the other browsers to carry on regardless.
Hope this helps others with a similar problem...
For a quick solution add transform separately for IE, in IE only css hack.
#media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) {
.header, #bar-left{
left: 0;
transition: all .5s;
}
.shiftnav-open .header, .shiftnav-open #bar-left{
left:590px;
}
}
Move the header outside the .shiftnav-wrap and place it above it, and apply the translateX seperately for header movement.
.shiftnav-open header{
transform: translateX(590px);
}
It is not good idea to depend on its movement relative to the outer div.
elements with fixed positioning are fixed relative to the viewport/browser window rather than the containing element - http://www.w3.org/wiki/CSS_absolute_and_fixed_positioning
Another solution, you can use the header as absolute positioned, inside the left div #shiftnav-info.
ADD this script in your page. IE fixed position scroll issue fixed.
<script>
if(navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident\/7\./)) {
document.body.addEventListener("mousewheel", function() {
event.preventDefault();
var weelDelta = event.wheelDelta;
var currentOffset = window.pageYOffset;
window.scrollTo(0, currentOffset - weelDelta);
});
}
</script>

Background image wrong position in all browsers except Firefox

My site design requires a background image running across the top of the page. You can see what it is supposed to look like in this screenshot. Link to my site.
Unfortunately, I used Firefox to check my work while putting this together. I used FireFox, because it has Firebug. The site looks right in Firefox, but wrong in Safari, Chrome, and IE. In Safari, Chrome, and IE, the background body wrapper background image is below the menu. Example screenshot where background at top is wrong.
Is there an easy fix to the background image, so it will work in all browsers, or do I have to take a few steps backward to fix some basic problems in my markup?
The margin on #nav is collapsing (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/margin_collapsing) because its parent (#wrapper) has no top margin, padding, or border to contain it. A quick-and-dirty fix for your problem would be to add padding-top: 1px; to your #wrapper CSS.
Change the margin property of #nav and add padding to #wrapper equal to the height of your background image.
#nav {
margin: 0 auto;
}
#wrapper {
padding-top: 85px;
}

style changes when zooming

I'm developing a website. Everything looks great on 100% zoom but when I'm zooming in or out in chrome and IE (not Firefox) the style changes and div blocks move! I have a container div with a background and some div blocks on it. Everything should be in exact position and it is important in my site.
You can see in picture how it makes my style look so bad.
I tried to use percentage instead of pixel for sizing and positioning of all elements in the page but its not working.
My CSS:
.container{
width: 880px;
background-image: url('b80.png');
}
.picture{
margin-left:13px;
margin-top:11px;
}
I too faced the same problem, when I tested in a different screen size.
Try position: relative or display: inline-block for .picture. This may solve the issue.

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.
