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

In my first attempt at a responsive web design I have run into a curious problem. When I resize my browser down to 615px width or less, a horizontal scroll bar appears. I'm not sure what element is causing this. I tried putting a border around each element using
* {
border:1px solid #FFF;
}
to help me visualize where the edges of the elements were but I don't see any borders extending beyond the window boundaries.
Can someone take a look at my site and give me some insight? http://www.ritualbliss.ca
Thanks!
Edit: So I only get the scroll bar in Firefox. Chrome works fine and the desktop version of Safari but on my iPhone it scrolls horizontally.

Devin,
Try using a tool like Firebug for Firefox, IE Developer Tools, or the Chrome Developer tools. I'm sure Safari and Opera have similar tools, as well. These things will give you the ability to highlight and view the various properties of every visible HTML element on the page, including Javascript and CSS information.
One other thing to think about is not using the * selector in your CSS. I am not sure why you would want to put a border around every single element on your page because to me, that would not look visually appealing. The border style attribute adds the thickness of the border to whichever dimensions it is applied to. So, in your case, every element in your page has 2px added to both its height and width, even the "html" element. This could be why you have the scroll bar but can't tell where the extra pixels are.
Also, do you have any CSS styles that set a width or min-width to 617 pixels? Or a combination of elements that share the same area and add up to 617 pixels? Maybe a table with columns that are not shrinkable?
There is a lot to look at and your URL looks like it's probably porno or something so I cannot go there at work and check it out...
Good Luck,
Matt
Edit
I fooled around with firebug for a few minutes and agree with Ruben that handling the overflow would be a good idea. Although I think the setting should be on the body instead of #content.
Try this:
body { overflow-x: hidden; }
Like Ruben's answer it is hiding overflow, but you can still get the vertical scrollbar if people REALLY narrow down their browser.
can you please warn us when it's nsfw :s
use this css:
#content { overflow: hidden }
not the best solution but you have to use firebug to find out what's sticking out
padding and borders increase the width of your element too
css3 box-sizing:border-box solved this one.
I've got myself multiple a tags floating on a page.
They have been styled in a unique way to center an image horizontally inside it, using a span and css. The a tag itself has fixed width and height.
I thought this was basic stuff, and my theme was causing the issue, but I've created a stripped down jsFiddle and I'm still getting the same problem when running the jsFiddle in IE 7.
The a tags are all click-able in every browser apart from IE7, why is this happening?
Can anyone explain? Thanks.
http://jsfiddle.net/motocomdigital/Qk9tu/6/ - Test click-able state in IE7, works fine everywhere else.
Don't worry about IE 6 - I'm not coding for this anymore.
On IE, a link element (<a></a>) with an empty attribute href doesn't display a link-cursor (hand).
Either put a # in your href attributes or add a cursor:pointer on a.home-module
It's the spans inside the a that cause the trouble...
You can achieve what you are trying to do with just CSS, but it requires a slightly different layout in your HTML and some extra CSS.
JSFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/8E8um/2/
Note
In a.home-module I have added a transparent image. This is because IE7 will not assign an "empty" parameter (due to the negative text-indent) to the top level and would therefore still leave the link unclickable.
you should assign "#" to href attribute.
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/Qk9tu/5/
I am currently developing a new website and have problems with IE7. First image is what it should look like. Second image is what IE7 renders (I use IETester to test older IE versions).
The first problem is with the white background which is applied with the following trick. There is a div that contains both left and right column with background-color: white; The left column has the same background as the page (and some padding-right) so that even if the right column' height is less that left's they appear to have equal height.
The second is with the list (ul) below the dummy text, which appears really messed up.
At first I thought that this would be easily solved with some "clear: both" here and there, but it didn't. I've tried lots of things but with no luck.
Any idea what I should do?

Modern Browsers:
IE7:
Ok, I solved the problems mentioned, after I read some articles about hasLayout. By applying specific width or zoom: 1 (there are other ways too in the previous link) to certain divs that didn't wrap or clear properly, everything seems ok now.
I have a problem with our website at www.eat.vn. The site is fine in Firefox, Chrome, IE8 & IE9 and Safari, but in IE6 and IE7 we have a problem with a main design element.
Please see the attached image and you will understand that the stacking effect on the tabs is not what I wanted. I have tried to work around this bug, but can't manage to find a solution which does not mess up anything in the other browsers. Any help would be much appreciated!
I don't have IE6 or IE7 to hand to test this, so I'm shooting in the dark somewhat.
My guess is that the issue is related to the container element for the tabs (<div id="steps">). This has a style of float:left;, which I don't believe is necessary; it doesn't need to be floated since it doesn't have any other elements next to it.
However this float may be causing the IE6/7 bug; it looks as if this element has decided that it should only be as wide as one of the tabs inside it, which is then causing the tabs to wrap beneath each other.
I would therefore suggest taking the float:left away from this container element, and see if that helps.
(The tab elements inside it should still be floated, of course)
EDIT: Solution found. The pink block had overflow:visible !important, which in Internet Explorer invalidated z-index. After removing it, the logo came to the top.
See: http://bit.ly/i7ER3e
See logo "**" (beside top menu) with Firefox/Chrome, it correctly appears above left-content block (the block with pink background).
In IE7/IE8 the logo, it becomes hidden behind the pink block.
I've been messing with this for 2 hours now. Tried a lot of stuff. Can't get it to appear right in IE7/IE8.
Any suggestions?
(Note: I'm working in a really restrictive framework where I cannot simply float the logo before the menu. I have to use position:absolute to place it.)
The problem is not z-index in your case
your body has some line height which is not sufficent...
line-height:180%
change this to 200 or so it works, but still that is not good approach
but just found the issue....
Try using:
z-index: -1;
for the elements that should be below the logo.
try setting position:relative; as well as the z-index.
The default position style is position:static;, and IE has bugs around the z-index handling when combined with static positioning; setting position:relative can solve some of them, without affecting too much else.
See this page for more info. (the link is for CSS3Pie, which is an IE hack to help it support some CSS3 features like border-radius, but the info on the z-index bug is general and likely covers your issue as well)
