I've created a small search widget, however the background doesn't appear when viewing it through chrome. I've tested IE, FF and safari which all appear OK.
http://paradigmsearch.co.uk/widget/?id=1
I'm usually reluctant to put layout issue on SO. However, I've been going over this for a while.
On the element:
<div class="widget" id="id_300x250">
I'm applying the following CSS definitions
.widget {
font-family: arial;
height: 250px;
width: 300px;
border: none;
background: url('/uploads/widget_background/cached/proportional/300x250/1_512648b566578.png') no-repeat center center;
}
The background just isn't visible. If this is a really silly mark-up / css oversight then I apologies profusely.
Currently using chrome browser Version 25.0.1364.172m
This is a pretty funny issue which I only figured out when opening your page in Chrome's incognito mode: Your background image is being blocked by AdBlock.
Also, for rendering purposes it's better practice to stick style elements in your page's head.
I've tested your code using chrome 25.0.1364.172m, all appear OK.

.googlePic{

This is an example of my class googlePic in my css file. It works out and prints out nicely on google chrome and safari. however, it doesn't work on firefox. Nth gets printed out. Please help :)
The content property works with ::before and ::after.
googlePic::before
{
content: url('../../img/googlePlusIcon.PNG');
}
Read this:
http://www.htmldog.com/reference/cssproperties/content/
IE8 only supports the content property if a !DOCTYPE is specified.
I know this may be a late response, but i came across the same problem.
I looked it up and somehow an url is not a valid 'content' type and even tho Chrome and Safari are being the good guys and show it nicely.
What worked for me, was creating an empty 'content' and using a background to show the image:
it works nicely in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE8+9
.googlePic:before {
content: '';
background: url('../../img/googlePlusIcon.PNG');
margin-top: -6.5%;
padding-right: 53px;
float:right;
height: 19px;
}
edit: forgot to put the :before after the classname
you have to write two css class in style
.googlePic
{ /*this for crome browser*/
content: url('../../img/googlePlusIcon.PNG');
margin-top: -6.5%;
padding-right: 53px;
float:right;
height: 19px;
}
.googlePic: after
{ /*this for firefox browser*/
content: url('../../img/googlePlusIcon.PNG');
margin-top: -6.5%;
padding-right: 53px;
float:right;
height: 19px;
}
and its works for me :)
The best way to handle images throughout all web browsers is to use the background css property with the background-size.
However, IE8 and lower version won't support it (represent 2% of viewer in 2014)
.googlePic{
background: url('../../img/googlePlusIcon.PNG') -6.5% 53px no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
float:right;
height: 19px;
}
I simply added 'alt' and it was working with without using Pseudo classes
If you change the tag to a div and not a img , content should work in firefox.
This saved me. Remember to remove alt attribute from the img or you will find the alt and the actual image in Firefox.
.googlePic, .googlePic:after{
content: url('../../img/googlePlusIcon.PNG');
margin-top: -6.5%;
padding-right: 53px;
float:right;
height: 19px;
}
Adding the alt attribute to the img tag and then using content="url('...')" will work in firefox. For e.g.:
<img class="my-image" alt="myImage" />
.my-image {
content: url("...");
width: 10px;
height: auto;
display: inline-block;
}
I had the same problem recently and none of the solutions above worked for me. I have resorted to the following work-around.
I included Bootstrap in my projects and used its img-responsive class.
After that, I simply include the image using the <img class="img-responsive"> tag. It displays and scales beautifully on every browser and every viewport size.
Hopefully this is helpful to someone.
I came across the same problem, in my case I was not able to show the image using content:url(). I wanted to display waiting gif in one div. I don't know the details of Mozilla support. But it is resolved in my case by the following code.
.img_div{
background-image: url("wait.gif");
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background-size: contain;
border: none;
}
It is working on Chrome 73 and Firefox 66.
worked for me this way.had to put file/// and then url.
file///C:/user/s/desktop.......jpg
You can experiment with setting height and width to 0, add a padding and set the background image. You will have to make it display: block or display: inline-block for the height to take effect.
Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/zBgHd/1/
I'm working on a project to upgrade a system to use the button tag rather than regular submit buttons. For the formatting of the buttons, I have the following CSS classes:
button::-moz-focus-inner {
border: none; /* overrides extra padding in Firefox */
}
button {
background: transparent url('images/greenrightbutton.png') no-repeat scroll top right;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: block;
font: normal 12px arial, sans-serif;
height: 25px;
padding-right: 8px; /* sliding doors padding */
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
margin: 0px;
text-decoration: none;
border: 0px;
overflow: visible;
}
#loginbox button {
float: right;
}
button span {
background: transparent url('images/greenleftbutton.png') no-repeat top left;
display: block;
line-height: 18px;
padding: 4px 5px 5px 12px;
margin: 0px;
border: 0px;
}
They work absolutely perfectly in every browser except IE8.
In IE8, the buttons work in most places, but then I find a page where the two background images don't quite line up and no amount of tweaking padding, line spacing etc fixes it.
Does anyone know why this might be the case?

---Update---
After some fairly extensive testing and trying things, I've now got a pretty fair idea of what's causing the problem in page 1, but no idea how to fix it, while another page with the same issue has a completely different cause (which I haven't found) but where I HAVE stumbled on a fix...
The problem on the first page appears to relate to a ul entered further up the page. Take that out and everything behaves - unfortunately, that's not an option as the ul is part of user-entered content, so I'm scratching my head about that. Particularly given...
Page 2 has no uls to cause an issue, but randomly sticking two break tags in just before my button code resolves the problem.
Naturally, THAT fix doesn't work on page 1.
I'm just about ready to give in and find some alternative way of rendering these buttons, because whatever the actual problem is, it's clearly so deep in either my CSS or my basic HTML that I'm probably never going to find it.
I don't see any difference between IE8 and other browser. Could you pleas mention bit more clear what you want to do?
When I declare this style for a div:
#fbInner{
position: absolute;
margin: 11.2% 9.7% 0% 26.4%;
width: 63.5%;
height: 54.6%;
overflow: visible;
/*max-height: 190px;
max-width: 490px;*/
font-size: 11px;
font-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;
color: #FFF;
/*border: solid 2px gray;*/
}
Chrome sets every margin right except of the margin top, which is set much smaller than in other browsers ... strange, all other margins are displayed like it should ...
What is the reason for that?
Is there a workaround that still uses percentages?
Seeing as this is an x-browser css question, resetting the css styles would be a valuable first step - maybe even the solution. You haven't disclosed any HTML code, so I can't know what other tags or styles are affecting #fbInner
In any case, here is the "meyerweb reset" stylesheet: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
Link it topmost in your HTML file. It will probably break your site, but that's a good thing. At least it should be equally broken in all browsers now. When you've fixed the look of your page, it should work properly in most/all browsers.
I'm trying to style my form buttons and I'm experiencing a problem in Firefox that I can't get to the bottom of...
I want to style certain <a />s and <input type="submit" />s to look the same (I have a button background image, using a sliding-doors technique to apply a hover effect.)
This all works great, except in Firefox, the input submit text is slightly lower down than it should be. IE and Safari/Chrome work fine.

Anyone got any ideas?

I found this post because I had resolved this problem a few months ago and when I ran into it again today, I couldn't remember what I'd done. Nice. After poring over my css I finally located the "fix". I can't take credit because I found it on the web somewhere, but hopefully it will be as useful to you as it has been for me:
input::-moz-focus-inner /*Remove button padding in FF*/
{
border: 0;
padding: 0;
}
I hope this helps.
I have same problem every time I need to style form buttons. Sorry, quite busy at the moment so only brief description how I usually fix it.
In FF Text is usually a bit lower, exactly like on the image you attached and so then I simply apply "padding-bottom" on the button itself. It moves the text on the button number of pixels up.
The problem is it also moves text in IE and now IE looks a bit off. To fix that I apply "line-height" to the same button with exactly same value as the height of the button. That makes IE to ignore padding completely and positions the text right in the middle. Below is sample HTML code:
<input type="submit" value="SEARCH" class="search"/>
and CSS:
.search
{
background: transparent url(../images/sprites.gif) no-repeat -310px 0; /* some button image */
height: 29px;
width: 104px;
border: 0;
/* centering text on button */
line-height: 29px; /* FF will ignore this but works for IE. This value should be same as value of the height property above */
padding-bottom: 2px; /* IE will ignore but works for FF */
}
Sorry I didn't applied it directly to your code but I'm a bit busy at the moment, hope you got the idea and it helps though.
ps. just checked in IE8 and all above moves text few pixels up. So it means more (endless?) mocking around with padding top/bottom.. I lost my patience now though and I think I'll be putting all this in separate stylesheet from now on that is until I find some fairly easy and universal solution for all this
Inputs are formatted not following the W3 box model convention in different browsers, you might want to include:
input /*Content follows box model*/
{
-moz-box-sizing: content-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
box-sizing: content-box;
height:24px;
}
Also include for firefox (which Shelly pointed out):
input::-moz-focus-inner /*Remove button padding in FF*/
{
border: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Otherwise you could use button
I collected all these solutions from various sources, they deserve the credit
I had the same problem and I've solved (only for FF and Safari) by fixing the width but not the height and playing with the values: padding (top and bottom), line-height and if needed setting the vertical-align to middle. However all it's more easy to do if you set all the values (even the font size) in pixel.
EDIT: I think that there isn't a cross-browser solution, because the problem is due to the text rendering of the browsers. To solve completely the problem you could draw a background img with text and apply that image to the link or the button.
Even if with this solution you lose in accessibility.
Alternatively you can use conditional CSS statements to improve the layout for each browser.
You could also consider replacing the the button with a different element altogether. The anchor element works perfectly. Just add a 'submit' function to it's 'onClick' event and you'll be good to go. I think this is a better (and simpler) cross browser solution.
i'm making a splash image div that changes the background with different css class, here's rules i defined:
#splash {
height: 130px;
}
#splash.homepage {
background: #F7EECF url("images/splash_home.png") no-repeat 0 0 scroll;
}
#splash.projectspage {
background: #F7EECF url("images/splash_projects.png") no-repeat 0 0 scroll;
}
this works fine in firefox and chrome, but the background somehow doesn't show up in ie 6. The weird thing is, it works for the homepage class but not the projectspage class. so ie 6 seems to interpret these almost identical rule differently. i tried clear the cache, didn't help. i'm quite new to css and ie 6 hacks, so am i missing anythings here?
also another problem that's slightly related to this, it seems it doesn't work in firefox when there is space before the class, like "#splash .homepage", but somehow i see other people's websites using the css with a space. what could be the problem?
update:
i tried to reverse the order of the #splash.homepage and #splash.projectspage, then now projectspage works but not the homepage. It seems whatever is immediately followed by #splash is used.
here are some relevant css & htmls:
#splash {
height: 130px;
}
#splash.projectspage { background: #F7EECF url('images/splash_projects.png') no-repeat 0 0 scroll; }
#splash.homepage { background: #F7EECF url('images/splash_home.png') no-repeat 0 0 scroll; }
#splashtext {
padding: 53px;
height: 40px;
width: 450px;
}
#splashtext h2 {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
}
#splashtext p {
color: #FFFFAA;
font-family: Calibri, Arial, san-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
margin-top: 10px;
font-style: italic;
}
<!-- splash, this one does not show -->
<div id="splash" class="homepage">
<div id="splashtext">
<h2>some header</h2>
<p>some description</p>
</div>
</div>
<!-- splash, this one shows -->
<div id="splash" class="projectspage">
<div id="splashtext">
<h2>some other header</h2>
<p>some other description</p>
</div>
</div>
IE6 does not support multiple combined selectors to select elements (#id.class or .class.class, etc). IE6 will ONLY recognize the last class/ID in your chain.
Details and example
However, in this case, as long as you only have .homepage and .projectspage on one element on the page, the background image should be showing up on the correct element.
I noticed that you are probably using .homepage and .projectspage to differentiate between two PAGES and the same ELEMENT on those different pages. A good practice is to put the class on the <body> element so you can use it to differentiate each page and their descendants.
<body class="homepage">
<div id="splash">
Then your CSS would be:
body.homepage div#splash { blah }
body.projectspage div#splash { blah }
Added benefit: you can now target any elements on a per page basis, not just the ones that you add ".homepage" or ".projectspage" to.
It's possible you're having an issue with the .png image files. IE6 cannot handle the transparency layer that is part of .png images, it simply renders any pixel with a transparent marker as a grey background.
As for the second part of your question, #splash.background is a significantly different rule than #splash .background. The first one (no space) refers to the element with id splash that also has a background class. The second rule (with a space) refers to any element of class background that is a child of the element with id splash. Subtle, but important difference.
Try taking out the quotes around your URLs in the background specifiers, or changing them to single quotes.
Why are you worried about ie6? Anyway it works in ie7 and ie8.
Are you sure that is not a problem with png? Try with a jpg or gif image.
I would bet that the problem is specifically to do with the IE6 misshandling of .pngs
To test, try replacing these graphics with a gif or jpg and check to see if the selectors are working correctly.
Once you've identified that it is a problem with pngs try using the Supersleight jQuery plugin.
I think using min-height property will sometimes work.
Try the below code.
#splash {
min-height:130px; /* first */
height:auto !important; /* second */
height: 130px; /* third */
}
#splash.homepage {
background: #F7EECF url("images/splash_home.png") no-repeat 0 0 scroll;
}
#splash.projectspage {
background: #F7EECF url("images/splash_projects.png") no-repeat 0 0 scroll;
}
Note: Please use the same order of css in #splash selector.
(I guess your projectspage is under a sub-directory of home-page?)
Try using absolute paths to each image in the CSS (eg. url("/images/splash_projects.png")) - it chould be that IE6 resolves images relative to the containing page instead of the CSS file (depends whether your CSS is inline or in an external file I suppose.)
I've got the same problem, and it's not PNGs.
e.g.
column2menu li { border-bottom : 1px solid;}
column2menu li.goats { border-bottom-color : brown;}
...works in IE6, but...
td#menu { background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:bottom right;}
td#menu.goats { background-image :
url(../images/goats.jpg);}
...doesn't.
But I found a solution for ie6 that works so far in FF, i.e.:
.tdgoats { background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:bottom right;
background-image : url(../images/goats.jpg);}
...so you use:
...and ie6 is happy
