I've a Joomla3 website with a custom template looking fine in most browsers but awful in IE8. Lots of the elements just don't seem to be picking up background colours and are just white.
For instance the footer normally has a background colour. When I look at the template.css file (compiled from bootstrap and my custom template.less file) you can see the footer formatting
.footer .container {
padding: 5px;
border: 3px solid #bbbbbb;
padding-top: 0px;
border-top: 0px;
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px;
border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px;
background-color: rgba(245,248,250,0.7);
}
But when I use the website development tools of ie8 (via wine on my mac - in case that makes a difference) to examine why it is just white in ie8, I see
which seems to show that the background-color of .footer .container is just being ignored.
Why would this be? Is this because it's compiled into a rgba format by the less compiler?
Many thanks for any help on this and how I might solve it.
CSS3 colors, such as rgba() are not supported by IE8, that's why it's not working.
You will have to take an alternative approach for specifying the background-color if you want support in IE8. If you don't mind losing the transparency, just use background-color:rgb(245,248,250); or.. background-color: #F5F8FA;
See http://caniuse.com/css3-colors
What you can do is import css3.js in your website. This javascript files allows you to use CSS3 attributes that will work on older browser that wouldn't usually support it.
http://imsky.github.io/cssFx/
Once you've imported that, you can use the following as you were before:
background-color: rgba(245,248,250,0.7);
Just to be on the safe side, I think it's always good practice to have a fallback, just incase, like so:
background-color: #F5F8FA;
background-color: rgba(245,248,250,0.7);
Note that the fallback comes before rgba()
Hope this helps
I encountered this same issue when using IE11 in enterprise mode.
I had this style set:
.heading {
background-color:#f1f1ef;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#E4E3DD;
border-width:1px;
}
and my table heading did not have the background color:
<th class="heading">Test</th>
I had to manually set a property bgcolor for this to work in Enterprise mode:
<th class="heading" bgcolor="#f1f1ef">Test</th>

I've got this selector code:
#ajax_hits_counter_popular_posts_widget-2.widget li img {
// Give the thumbs in the widget some style
border-radius: 5px;
margin-right: 10px;
border: 4px solid #353434 !important;
}
Everything is rendering properly except for the border: 4px solid #353434 !important;
When viewing in either Firebug or Chrome Dev Tools, the border: property doesn't even show up at all, while the others do.
If I manually type the same exact code into Firebug or Chrome tools, it works fine.
Live is here (it's the "Top Posts" thumbnail widget at the bottom right): Meanwhile, In America
Anyone know why?
// Give the thumbs in the widget some style
is invalid in CSS. The browser seems to ignore the following property, as you can see in this example. If you remove the "comment" it works as expected. (On your page, the border declaration directly follows the "comment", unlike in the CSS posted here)
Comments in CSS have to be enclosed in /* ... */.
As tim.baker mentions, you have have to use border instead of border-style.
Looking at your CSS it seams as though you have used
border-style: 4px solid #353434 !important;
Using purely
border: 4px solid #353434;
Should work
I work on a PC so I hadn't realized I was having this problem. Basically, the rounded corners of my container are not displaying in safari, which is strange because I believe the code I used is compatible with Safari. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my container code:
.container {
clear: both;
margin: 20px auto;
width: 940px;
background: #fff;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
-khtml-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
position: relative;
z-index: 90; /* the stack order: displayed under ribbon rectangle (100) */
/* overflow-x: hidden; */
*zoom: 1;
}
And then my website is basically wrapped in it:
<div class="container">
WEBSITE
</div>
If you have safari, you can view the issue here.
Your problem is that you've got all the prefixed versions of border-radius, but you haven't got the standard un-prefixed version.
You need to add border-radius: 10px;
Yes, Safari is a Webkit browser, so you might think that -webkit-border-radius should work, but the prefixed version is only supposed to exist while the style is experimental. Once it's become a standard, the browsers are supposed to drop support for the prefixed version and only support the standard version.
border-radius became a standard a long time ago, so all browsers should now support the standard version without a prefix. Some browsers do still support their prefix, but they could drop support in any version.
The same applies to box-shadow, and to every other CSS style -- if you are declaring prefixes, you should also always declare the un-prefixed standard version too.
Hope that helps.
Consider the answer provided by #Spudley ,in case if it doesn't solve the problem
Few things you can do:
1)Check your Safari Version
As #Adrift pointed out in the comments ,it might be a compatibility problem.
2)A non-visible character might be present in your css code
This problem occurs often thus making the programmers struggling for hours to find the problem.Try writing the code into another file or use some good editor which shows the hidden characters.
I need to have a container "DIV" with rounded corners. The following code works perfectly on all browsers except my IE10. I have no clue how to do in order to make it work.
#about-kader {
width: 200px;
height: 180px;
float: left;
margin: 0px auto;
background-color: #9bafc4;
padding: 3px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-khtml-border-radius: 5px;
-ms-border-radius: 5px;
behavior: url(border-radius.htc);
}
And here's the HTML part, please:
<div id="about-kader">
...
...
...
</div>
There is no way to make any round corner visible on IE10. The version I have is: 10.0.9200.16576, Update versions: 10.0.5 (KB289530).
Thanks to Flipbed's answer I found the answer. On IE10, the "border-radius" to me doesn't work. In order to get it working, it's necessary to specify each corner:
border-top-left-radius:5px;
border-top-right-radius:5px;
border-bottom-left-radius:5px;
border-bottom-right-radius:5px;
Indeed the site you sent, does exactly that (look the page source). It gives as output the instruction:
border-radius: 5px;
but internally it declares the 4 corners separately as above.
This was extracted from the question and posted on the OP's behalf.
Try only using border-radius: 5px, does it work then? If it does, then add the extra border-radius properties one by one until you find where the problem arises. I suspect that it is one of the extra border-radius properties that is causing a problem. I suspect that the behavior might be the source of the problem.
The behaviour of border radius is affected by compatibility mode in IE10.
If you press F12 you can view the developer console and change the compatability settings.
If the Document mode is set to IE7 or IE8 Standards then the border-radius 5px doesn't work, however if the standards mode is set to IE9 Standards or Standards then it behaves as expected.
I have ended up turning off compatibility mode as it also breaks the behaviour of other websites I use.

I am designing home page of my domain registration website and I am stuck at one place. Please go through the website at http://a2host.in/
In Firefox and Google Chrome the Search and Go Button are in same alignment with the text and select box but in Opera and IE8, they are falling down a bit.
I have tried out all the things but I am not able to figure out the actual problem.
I see a lot of unneccesary styling. In essence, this is what you want:
Basic form without floats
You can tweak the font-sizes and colors here, until you have what you want. But this is a good starting point, because it is cross browser identical.
Also, think about using the <button> element instead of the <input type="button">. It gives you more freedom in styling.
Form-controls are a pain to get them look good in all browsers, especially buttons and select-boxes.
Please comment out the following CSS3 properties (please see below) in the .regbutton class of your stylesheet and then try
.regbutton, .regbutton:visited {
background: #222 url(/getImage.php?src=myUploadedImages/overlay.png) repeat-x;
display: inline-block;
padding: 5px 10px 6px;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
/*-moz-border-radius: 6px;*/ /*comment out all CSS3 properties*/
/*-webkit-border-radius: 6px;*/
/*-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);*/
/*-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);*/
/*text-shadow: 0 -1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);*/
/*border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.25);*/
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
}
try to set border:none for your buttons
For some reason most modern browsers will stop applying their default input border style to text boxes if you give them a background image. Instead you get that ugly inset style. From what I can tell there's no CSS way to apply the default browser style either.
IE 8 doesn't have this problem. Chrome 2 and Firefox 3.5 do and I assume other browsers as well. From what I've read online IE 7 has the same problem, but that post didn't have a solution.
Here's an example:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.pictureInput {
background-image: url(http://storage.conduit.com/images/searchengines/search_icon.gif);
background-position: 0 1px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
<body>
<input type="text" class="pictureInput" />
<br />
<br />
<input type="text">
</body>
</html>
In Chrome 2 it looks like this: http://www.screencast.com/users/jadeonly/folders/Snagit/media/d4ee9819-c92a-4bc2-b84e-e3a4ed6843b6
And in Firefox 3.5: http://www.screencast.com/users/jadeonly/folders/Snagit/media/d70dd690-9273-45fb-9893-14b38202ddcc
Update: JS Solution: I'm still hoping to find a pure CSS-on-the-input solution, but here's the workaround I'll use for now. Please note this is pasted right out of my app so isn't a nice, stand alone example like above. I've just included the relevant parts out of my large web app. You should be able to get the idea. The HTML is the input with the "link" class. The large vertical background position is because it's a sprite. Tested in IE6, IE7, IE8, FF2, FF3.5, Opera 9.6, Opera 10, Chrome 2, Safari 4. I need to tweak the background position a couple pixels in some browsers still:
JS:
$$('input.link').each(function(el) {
new Element('span',{'class':'linkIcon'}).setText(' ').injectBefore(el);
if (window.gecko) el.setStyle('padding', '2px 2px 2px 19px');
});
CSS:
input.link { padding-left: 19px; }
span.linkIcon { z-index: 2; width: 19px; height: 19px; position: absolute; background-image: url(img/fields.gif); background-position: 1px -179px; background-repeat: no-repeat; }
Update: CSS Close Enough Solution: Based on the suggestion from kRON here's the CSS to make the inputs match FF and IE in Vista which makes a good choice if you decide to give up on pure defaults and enforce one style. I have modified his slightly and added the "blueish" effects:
CSS:
input[type=text], select, textarea {
border-top: 1px #acaeb4 solid;
border-left: 1px #dde1e7 solid;
border-right: 1px #dde1e7 solid;
border-bottom: 1px #e3e9ef solid;
-moz-border-radius: 2px;
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
padding: 2px;
}
input[type=text]:hover, select:hover, textarea:hover, input[type=text]:focus, select:focus, textarea:focus {
border-top: 1px #5794bf solid;
border-left: 1px #c5daed solid;
border-right: 1px #b7d5ea solid;
border-bottom: 1px #c7e2f1 solid;
}
select { border: 1px; }
When you change border or background style on text inputs They revert back to the very basic rendering mode. Text inputs that are os-style are usually overlays (like flash is) which are rendered on top of the document.
I do not believe there is a pure CSS fix to your problem. Best thing to do - in my opinion - is to pick a style that you like and emulate it with CSS. So that no matter what browser you're in, the inputs will look the same. You can still have hover effects and the like. OS X style glow effects might be tricky, but I'm sure it is doable.
#Alex Morales: Your solution is redundant. border: 0; is ignored in favor of border: 1px solid #abadb3; and results in unnecessary bytes transferred across the wire.
This is the CSS that I use that can provide the default look back:
input, select, textarea {
border-top: 1px #acaeb4 solid;
border-left: 1px #dde1e7 solid;
border-right: 1px #dde1e7 solid;
border-bottom: 2px #f1f4f7 solid;
-moz-border-radius: 2px;
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
}
You could also apply :active and give the controls that blueish hue once they're selected.
Update!
Ok, here is a workaround that I think is cross-browser compatible. The only issue would be that the default style differs by a few pixels so this might need some tweaking.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.pictureInput {
text-indent: 20px;
}
.input-wrapper {
position:relative;
}
.img-wrapper {
position:absolute;
top:2px;
left:2px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="input-wrapper">
<div class="img-wrapper"><img src="http://storage.conduit.com/images/searchengines/search_icon.gif" alt="asddasd" /></div>
<input type="text" class="pictureInput" />
</div>
<br />
<br />
<input type="text">
</body>
</html>
By using absolute-relative positioning you can make the absolute div (containing the image) act absolute in relation to its parent which all browsers I know about (not counting sub-IE6 versions, IE6+ are fine) can handle. User scaling might be an issue, but this is how it is with workarounds.
On the upside, you don't have to change the styles on your inputs at all (except for text-indent, but you'd do that anyway I hope).
On the downside, it's not the prettiest workaround.
Old!
I know this is not what you want, but you could do something like this to at least make all the input borders consistent.
input {
border-color:#aaa;
border-width:1px;
}
I haven't tried it in all browsers, but since you aren't setting the border-style it might use the native style but with another size (though you can skip that too). I think the key is to just set the border-color to something so that all input fields will use the same border-color and leave the rest up to the browser.
I had a text background image, and this was also annoying me. So I put a relative <div> round the <input> and then added the image absolutely positioned over the <input>.
Then of course I needed a little more Javascript to hide the image if it was clicked, or if the input got the focus by tabbing, or by being clicked around the edges of the image.
With a bit of fiddling this looked pretty good with IE8, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera, but it's a horrible kludge and it would be nice if the browsers fixed it.
