Here is the web site: plantcatching.com
Set "Montreal" in the search textbox and hit Enter. The map should go there and show results (after you zoom in one notch I think). A panel will slide from the left for the list of results. This panel has a white arrow attached so that it's possible to collapse/expand it. Here is what happens:
On IE/Firefox: the panel slides well.
On Chrome: the first time the panel extends, it works well. Then any
new manipulation shows the issue. The content of the panel and the
tabs will change position only after the jquery.animate("left") is
finished.
I let you have a look at the css structure under firebug or other dev bar, but basically it seems that chrome doesn't like the various "position:relative" css rules inside the panel. The problem is that I don't control them. They are set by the mCustomScrollbar jquery plugin. To check that this is the actual reason, just zoom out a little until a small window appears notifying that you should zoom in again. This empties the content of the pane and collapses it. See how it closes nicely this time, since there is no content anymore in the pane.
The question is: how should I modify the css (the part I control) so that it works well in Chrome and continues to work well in other browsers?
Let me know if something is unclear, I will update this question.Thanks for your help.
There was no answer here, so I decided to fix it myself by adopting css3 transitions on chrome only. This is now far better but you will notice that the tabs are a bit lagging when the panel slides. This does not happen in non webkit browsers.

I have a bit of a IE8 problem (sound familiar?)
I have a button. when you hover over the button the hover state produces a larger box that has html inside. in this particular case, it's a small music player.
so it goes like this, when you hover over the button it produces a small music player with clickable links and some text. you can move your mouse anywhere inside this box, but as soon as you leave the box/music player, the hover state goes away again.
sorry but I don't know how else to explain it.
this all works a treat except for IE8.
in IE8, the hover state disappears as soon as the mouse leaves the original small button. so navigating around the music player becomes impossible.
now I have noticed that when there is no html in the hover box, it works fine, but when there is html (in this case an iframe) it loses the hover as soon as I touch any html inside the hovering box. so it looks like the problem is not the hover box, but the code inside the box that makes it lose focus
what I would like to know is, is this a known issue in IE8, or could it just be bad coding from my side. in which case i can post the css.
I've had problems with :HOVER states in IE8 too and I noticed that the same CSS (even pointing to the same external CSS file) worked on some pages but not others. The solution for me was to consistently add a DOCTYPE to the top of all pages (above the starting HTML tag).
It seems obvious now, but sometimes (especially when editing old sites) the DOCTYPE is not always specified.
I hope this helps!
Your problem doesn't seem to lie in hover itself. Firstly you assume some window height and your project just look weird if the height is different. Assuming you did some very exact calculations on such assumptions your problem is probably the box model problem. box-sizing:border-box might help, but you would have to recalculate everything.
Also you can use timeout before the elements gets hidden/drop down so that micro mouse movements don't shake elements and maybe allow to "catch" them.
Having both things in mind all hovering problems should be fixable.
EDIT: For iframe hover have a look at: Iframe hover not working in IE (all versions).
This is very strange and I'm pretty sure it's to do with some sort of width issue in CSS, but as you start to re-size the browser, it adds this strange gap to the right (Which is off screen).
Here is the page in question
I've tried looking through the CSS and I can't exactly find anything, I keep going over and over it but it's not sticking out to me.
The website is WordPress driven, so most of the CSS is in theme.css and lessframework.css. The Sidebar is a fixed width at 202px and the Content is next to it, which has different width sizes based on what screen size. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with that but I just need a second opinion/set of eyes!
Can anybody help?
I hope im not bringing an old question back to life, but i find Firefox's developer tools have been invaluable in ascertaining, on-the-fly, what elements are actually displaying.
The easiest way is to right click on the area in question, and choose the last option 'Inspect Element'. This will open up the source and CSS console and displays the elements current id/class and style.
To go one better, once the console is open, click on the 3D box icon on the right of the console bar to make Firefox render the page in 3D, which will allow you to spin and zoom in on the affected area.
I have a css display issue with jquery ui tabs, where after you go over a certain number of tabs, the last tab drops down to the next line, as if the tab before it was set to clear:right.
i cant figure out what css is causing this.
the issue can be seen here
edit: i should mention that i see this issue in FF and Chrome. havent tried in IE yet
also here is a screenshot of what i see:
edit 2: this seems to depend on resolution. it happens to me in 1280x1024 and smaller
I actually understood your question after playing around with resizing the browser as it doesn't happen on widescreen monitors otherwise.
The issue you're having is due to .header-contact jutting down into the tab area because of the padding. You either have to remove the padding or decrease the height of this class and everything should be ok.
I have created a CSS dropdown menu using suckerfish. The problem with it is when you click the top level nav item that takes you to category pages, the pointer is still over that nav item and the dropdown appears automatically in IE.
Its fine for Firefox as the dropdown will not appear until I move the mouse, however IE just kicks in straight away without any mouse movement at all.
As the menus are quite large the user is unaware that the page has changed underneeth.
This site http://www.foodnetwork.com/ seems to achieve what I want, with a slight delay before the dropdown appears again. I know they are mixing it up with JS and CSS, but cant quite work out what they are doing.
Any thoughts
I know you are currently using a different technological solution to this problem, but please at least take a look at my suggestion before you judge it. I'm not good enough to explain it outright, so I'll just give you a couple of bullet points and then link to the solution in an effort to assist you.
This solution contains these attributes:
No client-side scripting of any sort (Javascript) was used
Absolute browser and platform compatibility
Text scaling friendly
Narrow window width handling
Functional for non-CSS, or CSS-disabled, browser

The site where the file is posted uses this menu (it's owned by the writer). So, please visit this GRC's Script-Free Pure-CSS Menuing System page.
I really hope this helps you!!
Use jQuery's hoverIntent to achieve that delayed effect. In addition, the menu stays there even if the cursor momentarily moves out of the menu. Prevents that distracting flicker effect of menus appearing and disappearing.
Just throwing this out there, since there may be other changes you wish the menu had as well:
You may want to consider Superfish (an updated/upgraded [and possibly overkill so take a look] version of Suckerfish), one of the additions is the delay option on the menus.
So I got the solution for this.
I added the CSS with JS in the head of the document and set a small delay on it. This way when the user clicks the main nav link the dropdown is hidden by default with the CSS and then made to reveal with the CSS that is written in with JS. The user sees a page without the drodown on page load, and then after 1.5 secs the dropdown appears, therefore showing the user the page reloaded.
// Add dropdown styles
function addDDStyles() {
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var logindiv = document.createElement('link');
logindiv.setAttribute('type', 'text/css')
logindiv.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
logindiv.setAttribute("href", 'http://files.stv.claw/css/dropdown.css');
logindiv.setAttribute("media", "screen");
head.appendChild(logindiv);
}
setTimeout('addDDStyles()', 1500)
I am working on this philippedecor.com site and I am having a difficulty in figuring out this css issue.
When I on mouse over on "Main categories" that appears on the right side, it shows a drop down with links in it.
Two things happens,
1) in IE(7) - the drop down hides behind another div
2) in both ie and ff, it pushes other div below that to go down and on mouse out, it looks fine.
I am not sure which css property can fix this.
please help me out
Next time, please make your URL clickable: http://philippedecor.com/
In Firefox, I also see a tiny bit of the background showing through the menu, as you can see. Mousing over this thing triggers a mouseout event, closing the menu. In IE 7, I don't see the push-down effect, only the hiding of the menu under the Flash panel and everything below it.
To prevent the menu pushing down other elements on your page, you should use position: absolute on #downmenu and probably incorporate it into the div containing "Main Categories" to position it in the right place. Use an appropiate z-index will likely prevent the drop down menu from popping under another div in IE (untested, as I don't have a debugging tool for IE at the university where I'm typing this message now).
Furthermore, I think you shouldn't use two menus containing exactly the same content, that can be confusing to visitors of your site (actually, I didn't read your post well enough and moused over the left instance). Also, you shouldn't put text in images without providing alternate texts, screen readers and the like can't "see" it this way (preferably use a suitable image replacement technique). And all those s in the lis are totally unnecessary and not according to rules for semantic HTML; just use padding on them or something. By the way, you should make the rounded cursors of 'Main categories' transparent (now two little white corners are shown). Just my $ 0.02...
