For some reason a website that recently went live has now completely screwed in IE9. Not sure what has happened to screw it all up but I'm left desperately needing to apply the fixes as the site is actually live.
There are some major ones and some minor ones.
The site is http://bit.ly/8oRMih
The site views fine in Firefox and Chrome.
When viewed in IE9, the left hand sidebar (left_column) doesn't appear horizontally level with the jQuery slider (jtabslider).
The CSS for the id left_column is...
clear: left;
width: 200px;
margin-top: -34px;
margin-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
border-left: 4px solid #990000;
border-right: 4px solid #990000;
border-bottom: 4px solid #990000;
None of our designers are free currently and I'm simply hopeless at debugging for IE so would be really grateful if any CSS wizards could lend a hand in resolving the issues if possible please.
Let me know if there is more info needed from me.
Thanks in advance.
Validate your HTML.
The problem is the first issue listed:
No DOCTYPE found! Checking with default XHTML 1.0 Transitional Document Type.
No doctype means that IE is using quirks mode which emulates IE5.5. Which sucks. So your site looks broken.

Here is how the site looks on Internet Explorer:

I've only seen it on the latest version of IE on Windows 8.1, but it's possible that it happens on older versions as well. Unfortunately, I'm on a Mac and can't find any emulators to run IE.. So I am coming to the greatest community of tech-savvy people I know of for help.
The site (built with Wordpress) is commercialpaintersinc.com. It looks great on Google Chrome and Safari.. so this issue seems to be just in IE (although I haven't tested in Firefox either..).
This is how it is supposed to look:
Anyone got any idea as to what CSS I entered that caused the issue and/or how I can fix it to make it look how it is supposed to on ALL browsers?
Any feedback is majorly appreciated. Thanks!
You are presently using negative margins to adjust layout, which is giving wildly different results in all three major rendering engines (Trident, Blink, and Gecko). I would advise against this, as it's likely these vendors will need to discuss whose approach is correct, or if all three need to adjust to be in better conformance with a fourth alternative.
The primary issue is is the over-hang of your logo beyond your negative margin. If you were to position the image absolutely, you could get more consistent results. However, upon doing so you will need to restore the layout of your header since a crucial element will no longer contribute to its dimensions.
#logo {
position: absolute;
}
#main-header {
min-height: 160px;
}
The above two rules appear to restore the layout for me in IE, and Firefox. That being said, I still think Chrome may be in the wrong here - you should always test your layout regularly in all three major browsers to ensure you aren't building on top of a browser bug.
I work on the Internet Explorer team, and have filed an issue internally for us to investigate this particular layout anomaly further. I've created a reduced demo of the issue as a public fiddle as well.
If you need to test Internet Explorer from a Mac in the future, please visit http://modern.ie.
Thank you all for the help. I was having a mental blockage and once again this community helped me to move forward.
Jonathan Sampson was correct that the root cause was that the CSS was not originally done correctly. I did the CSS edits myself and I am self-taught, so this was no surprise to me, haha. However, I had already come up with a solution.
My Solution:
I used the famous CSS Browser Selector script which can be found here: http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector
I added it to my JS folder (mysite.com/wp-includes/js/css_browser_selector.js) and then added:
<script src="css_browser_selector.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
right before the </head> tag in the header.php file.
At that point I was able to just create browser-specific CSS. It's dumb that FF and IE are so picky when it originally worked fine how I had it in both Chrome and Safari... But oh well.
Here is the code for Chrome/Safari vs. the code for Firefox/IE:
Chrome/Safari (Webkit):
.webkit #logo {
margin-bottom: 10px;
max-height: 110px;
position: relative;
z-index: 99999;
background: #fff;
border-radius: 150px;
border: 20px solid #fff;
}
.webkit #main-header {
padding: 10px 0 0 0;
margin-bottom: -65px;
margin-top: -20px;
}
Firefox (and same used for IE as well):
.gecko .et_pb_slider {
top: -60px;
margin-bottom: -63px;
}
.gecko #logo {
margin-bottom: 10px;
max-height: 110px;
position: relative;
z-index: 99999 !important;
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #FFF;
border: 20px solid #FFF !important;
border-radius: 150px;
}
.gecko #main-header {
margin-top: -20px;
}
So yeah I didn't see Jon's answer until after I had "fixed" the issue. So, I will leave it as is.. although I'm sure my CSS is very sloppy! :P

I am designing my theme for my website, and have no other CSS files in my folder besides template.css.
.header-wrap,
.nav-wrap,
.slideshow-wrap,
.body-wrap,
.sub-footer-wrap,
.footer-wrap {float: left; width: 100%; clear: both;}
.header,
.nav,
.slideshow,
.body,
.sub-footer,
.footer { width: 960px; margin: 0 auto;}
.header-wrap { height: 118px; background: url('files/img/background/bg-header.png')
repeat-x; border-bottom: 1px solid #6A6A6C}
.nav-wrap { height: 38px; background: url('files/img/background/bg-nav.png') repeat-x;
border-top: 1px solid #D9D9DB; border-bottom: 1px solid #B8B8BA}
.body-wrap { background: #F4EDDB url('files/img/background/bg-body.png') repeat-x;}
I don't believe that the issue is relating to that but there must be something else doing this to my webpage:
The red lines show the whitespace that is being generated for some unknown reason. I have been looking at this for a while and have not been able to find the source. I was wondering if anyone has had an issue like this before? Or someone that might be able to point me in the right direction to fix the matter. I have also tried multiple browsers and have the same issue. I have also made sure that it wasnt just an administration issue. It keeps happening no matter what. I am using Google Chrome currently.
--EDIT--
Here is my jsfiddle for those of you who asked (it still does it on there too) this has the full html
http://jsfiddle.net/RCMh7/
Add this to your css.
body { margin: 0px; padding:0px}
Or google "reset.css" and add it into your theme, the Eric Meyer one is fairly popular.
http://www.cssreset.com/
you should put margin-top:0 and margin-left:0 on this divs.
can you show on jsfiddle for us? or a link page?
Use the firebug for firefox tool to check that CSS issue . It might be occurring just due to some background image or CSS file. For all CSS linked to that theme check that theme's .info file also.
Although As per my experience you will able to get exact source of CSS by using firebug .
It may be some background kind of image or CSS effect.
I need to have a container "DIV" with rounded corners. The following code works perfectly on all browsers except my IE10. I have no clue how to do in order to make it work.
#about-kader {
width: 200px;
height: 180px;
float: left;
margin: 0px auto;
background-color: #9bafc4;
padding: 3px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-khtml-border-radius: 5px;
-ms-border-radius: 5px;
behavior: url(border-radius.htc);
}
And here's the HTML part, please:
<div id="about-kader">
...
...
...
</div>
There is no way to make any round corner visible on IE10. The version I have is: 10.0.9200.16576, Update versions: 10.0.5 (KB289530).
Thanks to Flipbed's answer I found the answer. On IE10, the "border-radius" to me doesn't work. In order to get it working, it's necessary to specify each corner:
border-top-left-radius:5px;
border-top-right-radius:5px;
border-bottom-left-radius:5px;
border-bottom-right-radius:5px;
Indeed the site you sent, does exactly that (look the page source). It gives as output the instruction:
border-radius: 5px;
but internally it declares the 4 corners separately as above.
This was extracted from the question and posted on the OP's behalf.
Try only using border-radius: 5px, does it work then? If it does, then add the extra border-radius properties one by one until you find where the problem arises. I suspect that it is one of the extra border-radius properties that is causing a problem. I suspect that the behavior might be the source of the problem.
The behaviour of border radius is affected by compatibility mode in IE10.
If you press F12 you can view the developer console and change the compatability settings.
If the Document mode is set to IE7 or IE8 Standards then the border-radius 5px doesn't work, however if the standards mode is set to IE9 Standards or Standards then it behaves as expected.
I have ended up turning off compatibility mode as it also breaks the behaviour of other websites I use.

Working on my home page where I'm cycling through some images using JQuery's fadeIn and fadeOut methods.
The images have a border of 2px and a radius of 14px applied.
As you can see, the corners of the image are overlapping the border.
This behavior only happens in Safari and Chrome, not in Firefox and IE.
Anyone have any idea as to why?
You can see this behavior here:

Support for border-radius on images in Chrome/Safari (or rather Webkit) seems to be a bit buggy
Chrome -webkit-border-radius bug? - CSS-Tricks Forums
The above post is from earlier in the year (~Chrome ver 10) when the support for border-radius on images wasn't working. Support is available know but like you're seeing it still has some issues. You may want to report the bug you're seeing to the Webkit/Chrome/Safari projects. I know there was a fairly easy to find bug reporting page for Chromium, not sure about the other two.
Here are two ideas for workarounds:
you can apply sort of a CSS3 hack by removing the 2px border and setting a 2px stroke box-shadow (box-shadow:0 0 0 2px #606060;). This would have a few drawbacks as it's only a fix for Chrome/Safari example jsfiddle
or of course the other option is to edit the photos to give them rounded corners (http://www.roundpic.com/ is a good site for this)
try removing the border styling from the image itself and adding it to #content #topStoriesTest
#content #topStoriesTest {
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-radius: 14px;
-webkit-border-radius: 14px;
-moz-border-radius: 14px;
height: 318px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: 549px;
}
I'm developing a Grails app and I need to modify some elements' style. I tried to add a css class to the main.css file but it is not working.
In /web-app/css/main.css:
.artistItem {
background-color: #444;
border: 1px solid #fff;
padding: 10px;
color: #ccc;
width: 200px;
}
In the .gsp:
<div class="artistItem">Some text</div>
But the div remains unchanged. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
This isn't a direct answer
Playing around with CSS in grails can be a little frustrating for someone that hasn't had a lot of exposure to CSS in general (I'm speaking form experience). Grails provides a nice clean CSS for a good starting point but trying to build on it without understanding CSS can cause some pain.
I would recommend looking at a couple tools like FireBug for firefox or Chrome's built in developer tools, IE also has a nice developer tool. These tools allow you to see how the browser is rendering your page and what CSS elements are being used or not used. They also expose the javascript console and several other nice debugging tools. I believe this are essential tools to help understand what the browser is doing.
I hope this helps!
Try:
.artistItem {
background-color: #444 !important;
border: 1px solid #fff !important;
padding: 10px !important;
color: #ccc !important;
width: 200px !important;
}
If that works, then you know there is another css stylesheet overriding it. If not the css is not being included properly.
