CSS desktop/mobile button styling - css

I styled some CSS buttons, and they look great, but when I open the page on mobile, they look bad and don't use the defined styles. How does one typically maintain the styling of buttons in CSS across all devices?
Here's my code for the buttons that looked good in the browser:
input[type="button"]
{
width: 416px;
border: none;
color: #fff;
font-size: 1em;
padding: .5em;
margin: 5px 0 5px 0;
border-radius: 3px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 40px;
background: #00aeff;
}
input[type="button"]:hover
{
background: #00a0db;
}
But this is what it actually looked like on different pages on mobile.

There is no magic bullet. Make sure that your styles have proper platform-specific directives (ie -webkit-) and, most importantly, are supported on the platforms that are acting up.

The issue with the font-size..Try setting px value for the font..it should be Ok..
like
input[type="button"]
{
font-size:14px;
}

Call to action button CSS modification

I have a sales page here: http://salesautopilot.s3.amazonaws.com/newsletter/letter/nl57825/ns103923/subscribe.html
My problem is when I view the site on mobile, the text in the blue call to action button overflows the button.
How should I modify the button's CSS so it won't?
I think this is the part of the CSS code that defines the button:
.mmform-container div.submitcontainer a.submitbutton,.mmform-container button.mmform-event-button,.mmform-container div.submitcontainer button.submitbutton {
background-color: #208dda;
border: none;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: 600;
letter-spacing: 0.8px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 0;
/*width: 70%;*/
min-height: 20px;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
width: 70%;
}
Thank you guys

Your problem is that the last word is too long that with fixed font size and width it doesn't fit in one line. You could use word-wrap: break-word; to break that word, but then it's kinda ugly.
Imo best scenario would be to either:
reduce the text in the button (to just 'register') or
decrease the font size for smaller screens. For that you can use CSS media query.
if you just edit that way :
#media (max-width: 640px){
.submitcontainer a{
width:100%!important;
}

text-align center for opera - css

if Chrome is look like this:
.text-center {
text-align: -webkit-center;
}
and firefox:
.text-center {
text-align: -moz-center;
}
how about in opera?
.text-center {
text-align: -o-center;
}
is not working.
UPDATE:
HTML:
.container
.text-center.label-margin
%h3
.bubble LEADERSHIP
CSS of my bubble class.

background-color: #333333 !important;
font-style: normal !important;
font-family: 'Fira Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 25px;
font-weight: 600;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
color: #fff;
}
it looks like in OPera
You do not need to prefix the text-align property. You can simply use:
text-align:center;
instead (which should work on all browsers).
Further Reading:
W3.org documentation on the text-align property.
Here's quite a nice CSS-Tricks article that you might find useful.
If we're talking about any property, caniuse... is one of the 'best' browser compatibility websites out there, with info on nearly all css properties.
Please also note: Border-radius does not require prefixing (and hasn't done for quite some time now), whilst using !important is considered bad practise, so I would personally advise to get out of the habit of using it.
Try like this: Demo
.center{
text-align-center;
}
No need to use specifically for all the browsers,as its almost accepted by all browser

Display block issue in IE8

I'm working on a website for a client and I have 3 boxes that go across horizontally near the bottom of the home page. Reading New Sermons, Tidbits, and Prayer Requests. For some reason the text that I have spanning across the boxes(images) does not want to follow my property and rule of the display:block. I've tried the \9 and the *display:block; to see if those work but it's not. Any other suggestions?
The website is http://lordjesuschurchofgod.com
Here is the code that is giving me trouble
body.home .notices .title {
position: relative;
top: -85px;
display: block;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #666;
font-weight: bold;
overflow:hidden;
}

What is the recommended approach to style a SlickGrid?

I am just starting to use SlickGrid and amazed by its quality. However, when it comes to styling, I did not find any docs or examples recommending an overall styling approach. There are options and APIs scattered in various places, but it's very difficult to extract a strategy out of those. Also the grid leverages jQuery UI themes. Unfortunately those are interfering with what I am trying to achieve. We have picked up jQuery UI only for the calendar widget along with the ui-darkness theme. This theme works perfectly fine for the calendar widget, but the grid needs to override every aspect of it.
Here's a jsFiddle that shows the look I am trying to achieve: http://jsfiddle.net/nareshbhatia/3q6RD/. Just for illustration, it uses a regular HTML table. However I would like to achieve the exact same styling using SlickGrid. The CSS in this jsFiddle is essentially the requirement I have from my visual designer, e.g.
#positions-table th {
background-color: #505050;
color: #eeeeee;
text-shadow: none;
font-size: 13px;
height: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
}
Edit: I also created a jsFiddle with a starter SlickGrid implementation: http://jsfiddle.net/nareshbhatia/vJshY/. As you can see, the ui-darkness theme has completely taken over!
Within your second/last jsFiddle you can modify the CSS to have this code
.slick-header-column.ui-state-default {
background:none ;
background-color: #505050 ;
color: #eeeeee;
border: none;
padding: 0;
text-shadow: none;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
height: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
}
.slick-row.ui-widget-content, .slick-cell {
background: none;
background-color: #eeeeee;
color: #666666;
border: none;
border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff;
font-size: 14px;
height: 60px;
line-height: 60px;
padding: 0 5px;
}

CSS acting weird

i have the following css code:
.tag {
display: inline;
font-size: 10px;
padding: 5px;
color: #FFF;
background-color: #444;
}
.tag:hover {
font-size: 10px;
padding: 5px;
color: #FFF;
background-color: #666;
}
aside from the background color, and one having the display:inline, there is no difference, correct? Well when the .tag div comes into existance, it has white text but no background color. it also has a 12pt font size and no padding. however, it looks perfectly the way its supposed to when I hover over it. Can anyone tell me why its doing this?
there will be no different if you only have these 2 classes in your css file/scriptlet.
but it will be different if you have more than 2 and mixed with other classes as well.
your .tag might be overidden by other class
I'd debug it using firefox + firebug. This tool will show you which css class/properties is voeridden
Use !important
