CSS <div> not scaling well between IE and Firefox - css

I'm having trouble resizing my template to look the same as IE.
I'm trying to make the div called face 3 and face4 scale on both IE and firefox but I just can't . If an div fit perfectly well on Firefox . then it would go over on IE . Can someone please help me .
CSS
.face1 {
text-align: center;
background-color: #AAAAAA;
height: 450px;
width: 390px;
position: absolute;
left: 520px;top:100px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#1BE968;
border-width:35px;
}
.face3 {
text-align: center;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
width: 300px;
position: relative;
left: 10px;top:0px;
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 33px;
}
.face4 {
text-align: center;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
width: 50px;height:30px;
position: absolute;
left: 290px;top:200px;
text-align: center;
color: #CCCCCC;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 33px;
}
HTML
<div class="face1">
<div class="face3">24 x 7 customer web supprt</div>
<div class="face4">supprt</div>
</div>
Demo at http://jsfiddle.net/Yg3yq/

Opening http://jsfiddle.net/Yg3yq/show/ in IE8 (and IE9) renders the same as Firefox, which leads me to believe your document might be rendered in Quirks Mode.
To remedy this, make this the first line of your HTML file (no whitespace or characters before it!)
<!document html>

Css pointer-events hover issue

I have to following code:
<div class="playlist-item">
<a class="playlist-non-selected" href="#">
<span class="playlist-title">AudioAgent - Japanese Intro</span>
</a>
</div>
https://jsfiddle.net/4uyb7rh9/10/
The problem is when you rollover the text, in firefox and ie overPlaylistItem & outPlaylistItem are constantly called and cursor just keeps flickering. This works properly in chrome. Is there a way to make this work in all browsers?
This happens because when you set the class having pointer-events: none it triggers a mouse leave event, hence it flashes.
First of all, may I suggest you use :hover, second, whether you use :hover or script, you need to target the specific element that shouldn't be clickable, for example the span
.playlist-non-selected:hover span {
pointer-events: none;
}
Stack snippet
.playlist-item {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 40px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 40px;
}
.playlist-title {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
margin-left: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 22px;
font-family: 'Gnuolane Free';
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.playlist-non-selected {
color: #bbb;
}
.playlist-non-selected:hover{
color: red;
}
.playlist-non-selected:hover span{
pointer-events: none;
}
<div class="playlist-item">
<a class="playlist-non-selected" href="#">
<span class="playlist-title">AudioAgent - Japanese Intro</span>
</a>
</div>
And here is an updated fiddle using your script
Update based on comment about not working in Edge
Appears to be some kind of bug in Edge when the span has display: block so changing it to display: inline-block and it works.
For it to work in IE11, the span need display: inline (or just remove the display:...) so it use its default.
Update 2 based on comment about not working in Edge
If you need the span to display as block, changing it to a div and it works in both Edge and IE11.
An updated fiddle using your script
Why haven't you used :hover ? This can be done with CSS easily and will not pose any difficulty for browsers compatability like
.playlist-item {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 40px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 40px;
}
.playlist-title {
display: block;
position: relative;
top: 0px;
margin-left: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 22px;
font-family: 'Gnuolane Free';
margin-bottom: 0px;
backface-visibility:hidden
}
.playlist-non-selected:hover{
color: red;
pointer-events: none;
backface-visibility:hidden
}
.playlist-non-selected {
color: #bbb;
}
<div class="playlist-item">
<a class="playlist-non-selected" href="#">
<span class="playlist-title">AudioAgent - Japanese Intro</span>
</a>
</div>

Trouble creating headers with horizontal line going across

I want to create title that have an horizontal line going through them with the Title text appearing above the line, even though I believe I have correctly used the z-index rule it still does not work, this is the css I am using;
.heading {
border-bottom: 2px solid #222222!important;
text-align: center;
z-index: -1;
}
#sidebar .widget h3, #sidebar .widget .heading h3 {
color: #333333;
text-align: center;
z-index: 10;
margin-bottom: -8px;
position: relative;
}
The url is: http://crossfitblackboard.com/
z-index
works only if you are using a position
so you need also set the .heading to position: relative
Create a duplicate of the heading and line-through it.
HTML:
<h1 class="shadow">Your Awesome Heading</h1>
<h1>Your Awesome Heading</h1>
CSS:
h1{
position: absolute;
}
.shadow{
color: lightgrey;
text-decoration: line-through;
}
Here's the Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/39rwmjt6/1/
Let's keep the markup as simple as possible; We can do this with one element for your heading and the pseudo element :before with z-index: -1;.
Have an example!
HTML
<h1>Heading</h1>
CSS
h1 {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
font-size: 1em;
}
h1:before {
position: absolute;
content: '';
height: 2px;
background: #F00;
display: block;
width: 100%;
top: 0.6em;
z-index: -1;
}

Styling file input button with IE8

I'm using basically this method here: https://coderwall.com/p/uer3ow to style my file input section but it doesn't seem to work in IE8; all I see is the corner of a huge button.
HTML:
<div class="upload_btn">
<span>Choose File</span>
<input type="file" name="item_file_upload_1" id="item_file_upload_1">
</div>
CSS:
.forms .upload_btn {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
width: 97px;
height: 27px;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 27px;
color: #393d59;
border: 2px solid #b9c0d6;
overflow: hidden;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.forms .upload_btn > input[type="file"] {
position: absolute;
cursor: pointer;
top: 0;
right: 0;
font-size: 200px;
opacity: 0;
}
Ok, with a modification of this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1948200/472501
I was able to apply the following CSS for IE8 which fixed the problem:
.forms .upload_btn > input[type="file"] {
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
}
There's a much better, cross-browser compliant, semantic, fully accessible and CSS-only way using the label technique. Great post here on how to implement: https://benmarshall.me/styling-file-inputs/

When i mouse hover it shows:
However, it should be as:
Document mode quirks means that you're essentially running a pre-IE6 rendering engine. A good solution to solve this is to add a doctype to the top of your HTML document. This will put the browser in standards mode by default, and will allow your position:relative; to work as expected.
The simplest doctype is the HTML5 one:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Put that on line 1 of your HTML. There is no way to force standards mode via CSS.
Thanks everyone, it has been resolved; please see following code reference. I've changed position from relative to absolute and set top & height to fix the positioning.
.aFlyOut{
position: absolute;
top: 28px;
height: 70px;
}

Vertical centering working in almost every browser, but not in IE7

It's actually two part question regarding my simple page (that will be replaced some day with real content), HTML+CSS boilerplate used there for vertical centering and IE7.
http://engitize.net/
Can anyone provide detailed explanation why the page is displayed correctly in non-IE browsers (Chrome, Fx, Opera), almost all semi-recent to recent IEs (IE5.5, IE6, IE8, IE9), but not in IE7?
I am especially interested in: it works in IE6, yet it doesn't work in IE7, because... kind of explanation.
What should be changed to make div#c properly centered vertically in IE7?
I am using specific height for div#c, but used boilerplate is height-agnostic and fix should preserve this feature.
Spoiling other browsers is not an option, unless it's IE5.5 (ok, IE6 too, but only if it is really unavoidable).
Changing <!DOCTYPE html> and turning IEs into quirks mode is also not accepted (and it's a pretty bad practice for newly developed pages).
If you don't have IE7 (just as I), you can visit http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ or http://browserling.com/, paste URL there and choose IE7 to see the problem yourself.
Because the page will change after accepting some answer, I'm providing snapshot of relevant HTML and CSS parts from it (with logo URL changed to be absolute).

your Q#1 has been answered by #thirtydot, IE7 and below does not support the CSS table properties so another way has to be found for them. and his absolute positioning technique is usually the preferred way to do this as most times in a scenario like this (splash page?) the width and height of the centred content would be known.
addendum to above per comments:
In answer to why it was working in IE6 and not IE7 even though IE6 doesn't support the table properties either, IE7 was actually picking up the position: static rule from the #middle[id] {} rule - IE7 does understand this type of selector so this means the later absolute/relative positioning was not working the same as it was in IE6
Taking the above into account redoing the CSS to make sure IE7 and 6 got the same CSS and that it was placed later in cascade to override the "good" CSS it turns out the the positioning method is height agnostic too, in the comments there are various links to to test this, but here is the final working version:
Hybrid table cell/positioning method : here
That fiddle does include the image width and heights, but if you remove them and the positioning for the "sub text" it does (or should) show that whatever is in the middle does stay centered
HTML used is the same as the bottom of this answer.. minus the extra <i></i> element
CSS:
html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
body { background-color: #fff; color: #000; }
#outer {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: table;
}
#middle {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
}
#c {
width: 385px;
height: 120px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://engitize.net/engitize.png) no-repeat 50% 50%;
}
/**** for IE7 and below ****/
/* hacks but there is another method below */
#middle {
*position: absolute;
*top: 50%;
*width: 100%;
*text-align: center;
}
#c {
*position: relative;
*top: -50%;
}
/**** end IE7 and below rules ****/
#c div {
position: relative;
top: 100px;
width: 100%;
color: #666;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: right;
}
#footer {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
height: 15px;
padding: 5px 0 0 0;
margin: -20px auto 0 auto;
border: 0;
background-color: #def;
}
#footer div {
padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px;
text-align: right; font-size: 10px;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
#footer p {margin: 0;}
As pointed out in comments using the technique that the HTML5 boilerplate uses to class the HTML element conditionally see:
Conditional stylesheets vs CSS hacks?
Answer: Neither!
means you could replace the IE7 hacks with:
.ie6 #middle, .ie7 #middle {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.ie6 #c, .ie7 #c {
position: relative;
top: -50%;
}
Original alternative - "Matchstick Technique"
You could likely mix the following technique with the "table-cell" technique via conditional comments or hacks, but this (hacky!) technique works across browser as far as my tests have seen
As you've asked for a height agnostic version.. you might or might not like the "matchstick" technique, this involves using inline blocks and lining them up.. the "matchstick" is a 100% high empty, off page, inline-block element with its vertical-alignment set to "middle" once it's in place the next inline-block (your actual content div) sits beside it and aligns to the middle or it, then using text-align: center; on it you have the horizontal centering too
here's a link to a working example fiddle
Note: I've left your widths intact, but you can test without widths/heights by removing the height & width off #c and also remove the CSS for the #c div text div - in a plain text scenario entering text into either of these divs should 'auto' centre.
and especially note the insertion of the extra <i></i> HTML just inside the outer div (that's likely why this is not a preferred method!), this is the "matchstick" that props the whole page open.
Code used in fiddle:
html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
body { background-color: #fff; color: #000; }
#outer { position: relative; width: 100%; height: 100%;}
/* a matchstick spacer */
#outer i {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
width: 1px;
margin-left: -1px; /* to hide off page */
margin-right: -4px; /* to remove spacing between this and #middle block */
vertical-align: middle; /* will make inline block next to it center vertically */
background: #f00; /* red, not required just to see or not see it */
}
#middle {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
/* image 385 * 120 */
#c {
display: inline-block;
/* presuming image heights, but it wouldn't matter if there was width/height here or not */
width: 385px;
height: 120px;
background: url(http://engitize.net/engitize.png) no-repeat 50% 50%;
}
#middle, #c { /* IE hack for inline block on block level elements */
*display: inline;
}
#c div { position: relative; top: 100px; width: 100%; color: #666; font-weight: bold; font-family: serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: right; }
#footer { width: 100%; text-align: center; height: 15px; padding: 5px 0 0 0; margin: -20px auto 0 auto; border: 0; background-color: #def; }
#footer div { padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px; text-align: right; font-size: 10px; font-family: sans-serif; }
a { text-decoration: none; color: #006; }
a:hover { color: #00c; }
p { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }

IE7 does not support display: table-cell, which you're using as part of your vertical centering technique.
Your page was relatively simple, so I simplified the HTML/CSS a lot. The centering now works properly everywhere I've tested it.
Complete code: http://jsbin.com/azuhe4
The line that's causing this behavior is...
position: static
...on the "#middle" CSS spec.
If I disable that line IE7 seems to render (more or less) the logo in the middle of the page.
It's the <!DOCTYPE>.
IE6 & 7 were a little flaky with that (that's what I've read, anyway).
If you do the following, you'll see things come around - with your code (no edits, save for a couple borders to see what's happening).
Here's what I did:
Deleted your <!DOCTYPE>
Added to your DIV {} CSS line - border:1px dotted gray
At your "outer", "middle", and "c" divs, a threw an inline border-color just to see which was which.
Hit Refresh
Then pasted <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">, and hit Refresh again. Looked fine to me. Centered vertically, horizontally.
As of April 20, 2011 W3C states <!DOCTYPE HTML> as "Not a Standard". Certainly, IE6/7 have no idea what that tag means. http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html
I got new and easy solution for that:
<style>
.vam{vertical-align:middle;}
</style>
<div style="line-height:200px; border:1px solid #000000; height:200px;
text-align:center;color:#FFFFFF; font-size:1px;">
.<img src="her-banner.jpg" alt="" class="vam" />
</div>
