How i can control this thing Is there any way to setting because i can change again again the document mode..i want Document Mode will fix IE8 Standard..
Please provide the solution how i can handle this issue...
Try changing the DOCTYPE to:
<DOCTYPE html>
And then try adding this meta tag into the <head> of your document:
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
This meta tag should force IE into standards mode, you can find more information about it here.
You should end up with something that looks like:
<DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
</head>
<body>
<p>Content</p>
</body>
</html>
I'm not seeing this issue in any other browser that I've tested - IE, Chrome, Opera - but whenever I load a page from the server, I'm seeing a flash of unstyled content before the CSS is applied.
This is even happening on subsequent page loads where everything should be cached - every time the page loads I see the unstyled content for a split-second, then everything settles in.
It's also worth noting (perhaps?) that the page is using #font-face to pull some Google fonts. They are stored in a separate stylesheet being pulled after the main responsive stylesheets and media queries.
I've tried a few different things, to no effect:
Rearranging order of CSS stylesheet links
Removing link to stylesheets with #font-face
Disabling Firebug? (Read on here somewhere...)
One other thing that may be worth mentioning is that I used quite a lot of Element Type CSS selectors in the page's CSS. Is it possible that this is slowing down the rendering process?
This seems unlikely as there is no problem immediately re-rendering the page upon changing the dimensions of the window - the responsive stuff renders fine immediately.
So this leads me to believe that there is some issue with how the CSS is being loaded.
Here is my HEAD code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<!--<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />-->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=no; target-densityDpi=device-dpi" />
<title></title>
<!-- responsive stylesheets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/320.css" type="text/css" media="screen and (max-width:320px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/480.css" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width:321px) and (max-width:480px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/768.css" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width:481px) and (max-width:768px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/960.css" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width:769px) and (max-width:960px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/960+.css" type="text/css" media="screen and (min-width:961px)" />
<!-- custom fonts stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/fonts.css" type="text/css" />
<!-- favicon -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="resources/images/ui/favicon.ico">
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/960+.css" type="text/css"/>
<![endif]-->

WTF is going wrong with Firefox? It's driving me nuts!
If you add a dummy <script> tag right after <body>, Firefox will show the page after all the css from <head> is loaded:
<body>
<script>0</script>
<!-- rest of the code -->
</body>
There is an official bugreport about this FOUC (Flash Of Unstyled Content) on the Firefox site: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404468
I had the same problem with Layout was forced before the page was fully loaded. If stylesheets are not yet loaded this may cause a flash of unstyled content. showing in the console, and a visible flash of unstyled content upon page refresh, withouth (F5) or with clearing the cache (Ctrl + F5). Having the developer tools open does not made a difference either.
What helped me was declaring a variable in a script just before the </head> tag ended, so basically after all the <link> tags.
It's important to note, that an empty script (or with just a comment) or any random javaScript would not help, but declaring a variable worked.
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/other.css" />
<script>
/*to prevent Firefox FOUC, this must be here*/
let FF_FOUC_FIX;
</script>
</head>
There was no need to rearrange links or not use imports within css or js files.
Please note that the issue will no longer be visible (FOUC is visibly gone), but the console might still show the same warning.
I was experiencing this error. A colleague has said that it's caused by the attribute, autofocus being added to a form field.
By removing this attribute and using JavaScript to set the focus the brief flash of unstyled content stops happening.
For what it's worth, I had this same problem and found that it was being caused by having poorly formatted <html>...</html> tags.
To be precise, in my code I accidentally closed the HTML tag too early, like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"></html>
<head>
<title>My title</title>
The code provided by the original poster is missing the opening <html> so I suspect that's probably what is happening there.
Filament Group share they way they load their fonts in detail,
http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/font-loading.html
which is a nice modern approach to #font-face loading
Smashing magazine also review there website performance and came up with a different solution that stores the caches a base64 copy of the font in local storage. This solution may require a different licence for you font.

Additional recommendation
The head of your document contains far to many individual stylesheets, all these css files should be combined into a single file, minified and gziped. You may have a second link for your fonts placed before you main stylesheet.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/fonts.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="resources/css/main.css" type="text/css" />
I've had the same issue. In my case removing #import rule in the CSS file and linking all the CSS files in the HTML resolved it.
In my case the reason of FOUC in FF was the presence of iframe on page.
If I removing iframe from markup then FOUC disappears.
But I need iframe for my own hacking reasons so I changed this
<iframe name="hidden-iframe" style="display: none;position:absolute;"></iframe>
into this
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', ()=>{
let nBody = document.querySelector('body')
let nIframe = document.createElement('iframe');
nIframe.setAttribute('name', "hidden-iframe");
nIframe.style.display = 'none';
nIframe.style.position = 'absolute';
nBody.appendChild(nIframe);
});
</script>
I've added this inline JS right in template just for readability: in my case this code runs once per page.
I know that it's dirty hack, so you can add this code in separated JS-file.
The problem was in Firefox Quantum v65.
I had the same problem (but also in chrome). Even if many of the existing answers provide clues to the reason for FOUC I wanted to present my problem and its solution.
As I said, I had FOUC in a fairly large project and already had the suspicion of a racecondition in some form.
In the project SASS is used and via a "bootstrap" file for the css a fontawesome free package was added via import.
#import "#fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css";
This import has increased the total size of the css file by a lot, which caused the file to take a long time to load, and the browser went and already loaded the following javascript.
The JS that was then executed forced the rendering of its content and thus created the FOUC.
So the solution in my case was to remove the big fontawesome package and insert the icons I used from it (~10) via an Icomoon custom font. Not only did this solve the FOUC but it also had the nice side effect that the delivered CSS files are much smaller.
Hi might be a simple one for someone.
I have finished working on this website and in ie9 there is a lot of line height issues - i don't even know if line height is the right word - spacing seems to imply letter spacing.
The easiest way to explain my issue is with screen shots.
Why is the 3rd one (ie9) so out?
url for the website is http://www.geckowebsolutions.co.uk
Could it be the font .eot is rending differently to the otf?
If so how can I work around this?

Change your headers to tell IE9 to follow the modern norms :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
Do the 3 changes : the doctype, the html element and the meta.
I am not sure why it's happening (trouble shooting in IE sucks) but it's your.breadcrumbs CSS that is being affected. Quick and dirty solution is to add an IE conditional.
<!--[if IE]>
<style>
.breadcrumbs{top:11px;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
[solved - issue was related to web tools provided by ucoz]
Your webpage lacks a doctype.
<!DOCTYPE html> should be the first thing in the HTML.
Then use the HTML validator provided by the W3C to fix up your HTML http://validator.w3.org.
You should invest in a reset stylesheet to normalize the elements across browsers. Try plugging this into your header:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/reset.css">
This page doesn't get the table styles from the style sheet. If I put the same styles in the page itself, they are applied. What could cause this? The css file name is correct and is read by other pages.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Test if the content of the css file is visible.
Try to open it in the browser.
Common possible error when letters-case (A\a and so on) in file-names differs - this willn't work on *nix hosting servers, ever if it worked localy on windows.
Another common situation: when is error in path to file from current file-directory.
Are your stylesheets in the same root directory as this html file? Common practice is to put stylesheets, js, includes, etc into different directories. Perhaps you follow this convention and simply forgot href="css/pagelinks_windows.css"? Hard to find the answer to your problem without much more information but it's usually something small you're missing. One of those that you end up with a forehead-slap once you find it :)
What does your stylesheet look like?
I think you might have some conflicting css, try adding your table style at the VERY bottom of pagelinks_windows.css
