This link works in both Firefox and Chrome. I am not sure why it won't line up correctly in IE. I am trying to convert from old style tables/td's/tr's and this will be great if I can find out why it isn't lining up in explorer.
Sounds like your site is being viewed in compatibility mode in IE. This can depend on the DOCTYPE of your document.
To cause IE to display using the default mode of the current version, use the following META tag
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" >
This will not fix the site for IE7 (for example). If you wish to do that, then you will likely need to create custom CSS rules for older browsers

Title says it all. I'm wondering if there's some way to get the initial property to work in IE8.
Why force a meta like
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
so your styles will convert using the latest instead of IE.?
Unfortunately, initial is not supported by Internet explorer as confirmed by Microsoft’s website (up to IE10 at least).
You could try a legacy version of this library, which seems to support a significant amount of css property initial values.
Also, this website has the values that are specific to each version of Internet Explorer.
I've put up a test page illustrating my problem : http://www.heliopsis.net/var/fontcustom/
I've created a custom font with help from the awesome http://fontcustom.com/ but I have issues displaying it properly in IE8.
It seems that IE8 can use this font with HTML entities but not with CSS generated content. Even more puzzling, it sometimes manages to show the glyphs but loses them on page reload...
Does anybody know what's going on here ?
Here's a screenshot of what I see on IE8 :
In general, generated content doesn't work quite as well as it should (what does?) in IE8.
I played around a bit with your test page, and you might want to check that you aren't getting dumped off into IE8's compatability mode for IE7 or (even worse) Quirks Mode. Both of those seem to break the custom font, but I see it perfectly fine when IE8 runs as IE8.
To ensure that IE always gives to the most recent cababilities if possible add the
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
meta to your header. Also, use the develper tools for IE8 to make sure that your font is being loaded when you see the issue.
I am working on a site which is displayed properly in IE8 (when browser mode is IE8 and document mode is IE8 standards) and rest of the other browsers like chrome, firefox, etc. Except it is not diaplyed properly in IE7. I have heard of meta tags which allow users to force document mode to be displayed in a particular browser.
try adding the meta tag which will use Google Chrome Frame to render the page if chrome is installed in the machine.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">
I've tried the following and all it does is change the Document Mode, not the Browser Mode:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">
My particluar page only works when the browser mode is either IE7 or IE8 Compat View.
The code you posted should work.
Please ensure the following:
The meta tag is right at the top of the header, as first element after the <title></title>.
Restart IE and open your page without manually setting the Browser- or Document Mode from the Developer Tools. Setting these manually can overwrite IE's behavior and causes it to ignore the compatibility tag.
This is kinda weird problem we came across with my friend. We located our site at network drive and tried to open it from there. All other browsers render this page just fine but IE (btw. why it's always IE? :) ) can't understand inline-block statement. But if I copy our file to my local drive there is no problem, IE renders everything just like other browsers.
I tested this with IE7-9b.
This sounds like that problem - where IE switches rendering modes depending on where the page is located.
It's insane.
See this answer.
http://127.0.0.1/mysite/mypage.php <-- IE8 by default (updated!)
http://localhost/mysite/mypage.php <-- IE8 by default (updated!)
http://machinename/mysite/mypage.php <-- IE7 by default
http://192.168.100.x/mysite/mypage.php <-- IE7 by default
http://google.com/ <-- IE8 by default
So, because you're accessing your site via "network drive", IE is going into IE7 mode, and IE7 does not support inline-block properly, hence your site does not render properly.
You can request IE8 to render your page in IE8 mode by adding this to your page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
Or, to request IE8 to use the most recent version of it's rendering engine (think IE9), you should use this:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />
Or, to use Chrome Frame instead if it's available:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge,chrome=1" />
Use an admin account. IE may Denies access to network drive if not admin.
