I have researched this and found some IE CSS bugs, but none of the known fixes seem to cover this scenario.
This site went live today and the issue that was found is that the logo does not display in SOME versions of IE8. If the person resets IE to factory settings it works, but otherwise the logo is invisible.
Site can be seen here: http://www.ethicsgame.com/exec/site/index.html
CSS to display the logo is
h1 a {
background:url(images/logosmall.gif) no-repeat left center;
padding-left:325px;
text-decoration:none;
color:#1f396d;
position:relative;
top:45px;
left:15px;
width: 325px;
}
it seems to be working fine on my IE8, have your tried adding display: inline-block to its css? Also, for good measure you could throw a inside the a tag.
so you get:
<h1> </h1>
just so it has content...
good luck -ck
Looks like a difference in spacing with IE8 vs Chrome. Check it out in the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5Vt3f/.
Basically your image is probably displaying, just too far to the left that it's not visible.
Also, you have "left" and "center" on the image. This is conflicting. It's either left or center.
Mary,
This has to do with the fact that A tags are inline elements. in IE < 8, the height/width of the element isn't getting rendered--so it's collapsing and becoming invisible. Adding display: block; into your CSS declaration for this element will fix this in IE < 8. You'll want to apply this same principle to other inline elements that you're trying to get to behave more like block-level elements (setting width/height/margin/padding is usually a good hint on this behavior).
If you don't need to support IE 5.5 (which most people don't nowadays), you can also use display: inline-block; (keep in mind that IE 6-7 only support inline-block on elements that are natually inline elements, such as A, SPAN, STRONG, EM, etc.). You can find much helpful compatibility information here:
http://quirksmode.org/css/display.html
You'll probbaly also notice that once you change that display type, the padding which isn't being rendered will be--so you might need to change that markup a bit to compensate.
Using the Developer Toolbar in IE is a great way to test old versions, as well as test these solutions in the older versions.
It works perfectly alright on IE8 but if does not show earlier versions of IE then replace center with left in background attribute.
background:url(images/logosmall.gif) no-repeat center left;
ie8 doesn't support background image position, in your case "left center". If you remove "center left" it should work. You might be able to specify background image position if you specify !DOCTYPE

Im working with a cross-browser compatibility, fixed everything fixable for IE7 and IE8. But it seems there is a slight (huge) problem with the background which is called by CMS.
As far as it seems, there is no problem in IE7 v8.0 BUT in IE7 v7.0 looks moved to the side in most pages, but not in others.
I figured it was because of a fix i did for some lost positions, but when i searched for a lost object in the right there was none.
And i have no idea how to make this bg to look right.
Please help me! im going crazy with this!

I think the problem its the background position. I cant make it work for the IE7.
<body class="fondo-pagina" data-twttr-rendered="true">
<style type="text/css">
.fondo-pagina {background:url(http://static.tvazteca.com/imagenes/2012/29/1634805.jpg) no-repeat; background-position: 50% 40px;background-color:#0b4a51;
*background-position: 50% 0 !important;
}
.bgBottom{background:url() bottom center no-repeat;}
</style>
The style up there is added automatically by the CMS. Although i have the same class in the style sheet:
.fondo-pagina{
background: url(../img/fondoislaEtapa1.jpg) top center no-repeat;background-color: #0b4a51;
*overflow-x:hidden;background-position: 50% 0px!important;
*background-position: 50% 0px!important; }
I havent been able to make it work. I know im using hacks, and its not the best option, but i was asked to only use one style sheet for the site, so another one for IE7-IE8 was out of the question.
How can i make IE7 to read the background position? Is it going crazy because of the double clases?
Using Chrome and FF, element inspectors i found out none of the background position clases were taken for IE.
TY for reading :)
I found the problem.
Nothing was wrong with the Html php and my Css
The problem comes from FACEBOOK:
<script>
!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)) {js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");
</script>
The scrip has to be placed in the div that contains the likes/comments etc. Other way it will go crazy in IE.
It opens up a big div that forces the page to be contained and makes horizontal scrollbar to be extended. As result, the background will take such width as the base one and position itself on the 50% 0px of that thing.
It only affects IE versions. The other browsers work fine.
I have this small testcase: http://jsfiddle.net/sV8js/
You can see that in Chrome (tested on win7 11.0.696.68) the first 2 links right border is "cut off" and is not shown. FF and IE 7/8/9 seem to show it OK.
Browsershots: http://browsershots.org/http://top3skills.com/1.html
Also "buggy" on Safari (so it's webkit related?)
Anyone knows what's the problem with this approach or how to solve this?
(or if I should report a bug to chrome) Any workaround that doesn't affect other browsers?
Also, my testcase is different from Right border not displaying on google chrome but maybe it's the same bug?
Updated: I don't want to use inline-block as IE7 doesn't support it and I'm finding this bug because I'm removing the inline-block I previously had there :) Also this is dynamic so it's not easy to add after each link because some links can break to a new line, others don't... so I'm trying first to get the "right way" and then resort to more "tricky" ways.
You have set the containing DIV at a fixed width of 250px. This is cutting off the edges. Also, you should add display:inline-block; to your CSS link class. This will make your link a block element while keeping it inline. It will also apply the padding you have asigned properly.
See updated link here http://jsfiddle.net/sV8js/12/

Try giving those links a display: inline-block or display: block property, as links are inline elements.
you need to add display: block to .referencesSkills
I am working on a small project, and am having two tiny problems with CSS.
I have played around with everything to no avail.
1) In IE6 the content and logo is not lining up correctly.
2) In Firefox, the tooltip box fixed at the bottom of the page (which degrades in IE6) although styled as width:100%; is not spanning the whole screen. There is a gap on the left hand side.
These problems can be seen by viewing http://gua.com/wd/ in the respective browsers.
If anyone could advise as to what has gone wrong, and why, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
for firefox: Yyou can add left:0; for #bottom
for internet explorer: I see your menu to be wrong not the logo. To solve this just add margin:0 for #top-nav
You should ideally be using some sort of css reset stylesheet to overcome specific browser idiosyncrasies.
In your case appending a margin: 0px; to your body should do the trick (For Firefox). IE6, well, its usually best left to a IE6 specific conditional stylesheet.
"100%" means "100% of the parent box's client space". Not "100% of the entire viewport".
And IE6's CSS support is f*cked beyond sanity. If it doesn't work, use absolute positioning or whatever else it takes in a special stylesheet and include it with conditional comments.
This is a CSS related question, I got one good answer from my previous question, which suggested the use of some CSS code like overflow:auto together with a fixed height container.
And here is my actual implementation : on uni server
If by any chance you cannot access that server, try this
Please follow the instructions on screen and buy more than 4 kinds of tickets.
If you are using IE8, Opera, Safari, Chrome, you would notice that the lower right corner of the page now has a vertical scroll bar, which scrolls the content inside it and prevent it from overflowing. That's what I want to have in this section.
Now the problem is, this would not do in FireFox 3.6.2. Am I doing something not compliant to the CSS standard or FireFox has its own way of overflow control?
You can inspect the elements on screen, and all controlling functions are done in one javascript using jQuery. All CSS code is kept in a separated file as well.
According to the professor, FireFox would be the target browser, although the version was set to 2.0...
It seems you have to set a height / overflow to the <tbody> tag, not just the table (or maybe not the table at all, didn't test that).
So...
tbody { height: 130px; overflow: auto; }
And I specifically tested with "height", it seemed "max-height" didn't work as intended. Very odd behavior, indeed.
Have you tried overflow: scroll?
i have a blog and i have placed a form in right but it shows different result in different browser.

Your markup is seriously jacked up. Use Firebug on Firefox to look at it. Here's a couple things I noticed:
You have your elements for your subscribe link inside the form above it. This is not apart of your newsletter form, so shouldn't be contained inside that form.
Your using a lot of <span>s with block elements inside them. <span>s are generally for inline content and sticking block elements (like <p>) inside could give weird results.
Check your stylesheets where your setting the left padding for ".newsletter p" this is affecting your subscription link.
Try to avoid specifying styles inline (using the style attribute).
Stop using postion:relative everywhere. Instead using padding and margins for layout your sidebar.
Generally to center something, you can do this:
.centered_thing {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
Edit: The marquee thing is terrible. Read about what happened to the HTML marquee tag. There's many good reasons to avoid it or Javascript knockoffs.
