I am facing a strange problem where the a navbar I have created is displaying differently in Chrome than Firefox. Here is a screenshot of each. Firefox is displaying it correctly:
While the background colors are getting lost in Chrome:
I have created a fiddle here, but the problem is not apparent when viewed on the jsfiddle site using Chrome. In the live Chrome browser, the body declaration over-rides the definition for the navbar, even though z-index is used.. Any ideas on how to solve this strange issue? Im using an old version of Chrome right now (21.0.1180.90), trying to insure backwards compatibility. Thanks for your ideas!
Your code works fine tested in "live Chrome browser" 21.0.1180.89 (couldn't find the 21.0.1180.90) on OS X 10.8.2.
And I think you are missing the point of z-index:
For a positioned box, the 'z-index' property specifies:
The stack level of the box in the current stacking context.
Whether the box establishes a stacking context.
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#z-index
z-index is not used to override any other css declaration.
You're code is working in Chrome version 24 , Firefox and Internet Explorer 10 . Maybe the problem is only in that version of Chrome or you override it somewhere else.

The full scope of my specific issue is likely too deep to include in a question here. Instead I am looking for clues.
The nature of the problem has to do with overflow: hidden. In Internet Explorer 11 it is working sometimes and at other times not. I have an element that is larger than the body and I have set the body element to overflow: hidden. Sometimes the page loads and works exactly as expected, but in about 60% of my tests the browser just ignores this property. If I look in the inspector the property and value are present, yet are not having any affect on the rendering of the page.
I have tried using a container element instead of the body, but the same thing happens. opening the inspector panel while scrolled to the top of the page will sometimes fix the issue. Any ideas?
There is a lot going on with this layout which is why there is no fiddle. Everything else works fine in IE. There are no errors in any browser and the layout works perfectly in all other browsers I have tested (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera and IE 11).
Are you using a display properly on that div or element? If you have display: inline then try to change to display:block.
I am not sure why this worked but I just positioned the body fixed. That seems to work.
I've got a strange display problem in Safari that I can't seem to pinpoint. The container block spacing is ignored, making page content overlap into the footer. But here's the strange thing: when I open the developer tools (working on a PC but have a safari version installed for testing and such) the container block suddenly "registers" and the spacing is correct, as intended.

Any ideas? Seems I'm more adapt to debugging and expecting IE issues than Safari.
Clearing. That was the problem. A simple "clear: both" on the footer and "push" classes.
I had this code in my original reset,
[class*="site"]:after{content:'';display:table}
but this was breaking Safari (causing a completely white screen). As a reference for others, here's the question/answer
Here is the site: http://lju-silenter.rhcloud.com . If you load the site on chrome and then click on the yellow section, then the section completely fills the entire screen, however in firefox, there appears to be some problem with margins. I've looked through firebug, I can't seem to find what is causing the issue. Here are two images just to clarify what's going on:
Chrome version:
Firefox version:
Any insight into the issue would be really helpful. Thanks!
By navigating to #three, the browser may scroll to bring that element into view, even if you have overflow:hidden. It appears IE and Firefox do this, while Chrome does not.
You should change the ID of the target element to something like id="box-three", then make sure you adjust selectors accordingly to add that prefix.
I have been working with changing the background colour of an element using css3 animations. However it does not work in Chrome. I have attached a jsFiddle example of the code I am using. It works in Firefox, but not in Chrome and despite my best efforts I have been unable to work out what the problem is.
In chrome is seems to ignore the reference to background-color only. If I move the item or apply any other effect to the element it works fine.

Thanks in advance.
This is a bug in chrome. Should be fixed in version 18 as per http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=101245
I had this same issue using the background property in Chrome with CSS3.
However the version of Chrome is 21.0.1180.83 (up to date as of 8/24/12) so the problem still exists.
I resolved it by specifying background-color instead and that works fine.
Interestingly enough the W3C says it's only supported in version 1.
I've created a Tumblr theme with a somewhat complex background. It renders as coded in Chrome and Firefox but Safari is giving me trouble. Basically the two background images assigned to the body element seem to readjust whenever the viewport dimensions change and when scrolling. It looks really bad, and I've attached a perfect example of the problem below.
Does anybody know what might be wrong here and how to fix it? I know the code is correct, so I think this is a Safari specific bug. The theme is located at http://blog.danielimmke.com/
EDIT: Apparently this issue happens only on the OSX version of Safari. The Windows version renders as coded.
