I am debugging my app in IE8's developer mode and I'm running into some very strange behavior. IE8's dev mode usually displays every CSS style on a new line, but not in these cases... take three examples:
#1
.messages .read
background-color: rgb(234,234,234); HEIGHT: 1.5em
padding-top: 0.3em
#2
a:link
color : rgb(80,80,82); TEXT-DECORATION: none
#3
#messaging .body
border-bottom: rgb(...) 1px solid
filter : progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#FDFDFD', endColorstr='#C2C2C2'); BORDER-LEFT: rgb(...) 1px solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1.5em; MARGIN: 15px 0 25px; etc.
As you can see, these are three cases where IE seems to behave strangely, and especially for #3, I get some really strange artefacts, such as an ugly dark grey border around my gradient box.
Is there a known way of getting around this behavior?
Update - gradient artefacts fixed
#3 was fixed surprisingly easily, by adding position:relative; to that style. Apparently IE needs this in order to render its gradients properly.
I'm still interested in knowing why IE lumps some styles together on one line, and whether this quirk has any actual effect.
In the samples you give there are at least some missing semi-colons. This may very well be the problem here.
As suggested in comments: try to validate your CSS. Here's the one from W3:

I have some issue which only encounters my iPad Pro 12.9, but not on phones or desktops.
🐞 on : Safari + Chrome + Firefox
input[type=text], input[type=email], input[type=time] {
color: white;
background-color: black;
font-size: 1em;
width: 100%;
border: solid 1px white;
border-radius: 5px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
How do I make my inputs padding look nice on all browsers all devices?
Firstly you need to make sure your inputs aren't being over-ridden from another declaration which often causes the problem you have here, particularly in relation to the line-height and font-size properties. Set your line-height value to line-height: normal on your input elements. Using the input[] selector has a low specificity in the CSS cascade, hence why it could be being over-ridden.
If the above values aren't being over-ridden from a different part of your stylesheet you can use box-sizing:border-box, line-height: normal on your input elements. You'll most likely need to increase the padding value slightly to get the aesthetic look you require.
How about to use all: unset;
To be honest I found out about it just yesterday and not used it yet, but it seems to be widely supported.
Here is a small demo. Though, I used sass.
Screenshot from iPad Pro:
Screenshot from Chrome (on Linux):
You don't really need padding top and bottom within an input, so you can remove it, just use padding: 0 10px
If some browser do not vertically centres the text, you can equal the line-height with the height and that should be fine.
also apply a box-sizing: border-box; rule will probably avoid differences between browsers on how do they render paddings.
I have a style for inputs on my page, with some basic padding and font size, I tried applying the same style to a link, but for some reason the link is always larger (height) than the button no matter what I do, even with the exact same text and font size, I tried doing display: block but that just makes the button the width of the screen.
Here is the CSS:
.button{
padding: 10px 15px 7px 15px!important;
font-size: 16px !important;
color: white;
cursor: pointer;
border-radius: 2px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.button-3{
background-color: #ff4d4d;
border: 1px solid #ff4d4d !important;
}
I've looked at the Chrome styles panel and confirmed the font / padding is being used (it's not strikken through).
Here is what it looks like:
Looks like the issue is because:
You aren't using a CSS reset.
The line-height needs to be the same.
Make sure you give a consistent line-height to both. For now, set in the both:
line-height: 1.5;
This should fix it. Also, you can compare both the styles with the computed ones, to check if there's anything else being set. Since you say <button>, it might also have some border.
Also, like I guessed, you are also giving border and same colour as background to the button, making it look 2px bigger.
When you open the Developer Tools, try comparing the Computed Styles part:
To avoid this kind of stuff I always set the font family I used.
Take a look at this example: https://fiddle.jshell.net/tnr0jxka/
You also might want to consider adding:-webkit-apperance:none;-moz-apperance:none; to this kind of css, it will save you big time in cross-browser experience.
Buttons do not inherit the global styling automatically.
So, setting font-size of button explicitly will solve the problem

I am currently working on a site which has an design where the main 'welcoming text' contains more than one line (as it is a short introduction about a product). This has an background of a transparant (0.7) white (rgba(255,255,255,0.7) with multiline padding. Yes, multiline padding I am saying. What that means, is that every line of text has top, bottom, left and right padding, background color and also a small transparent space between the lines.
To accomplish this, I used a box-shadow with an horizontal offset to simulate the left and right padding on each line. This does work on all browsers except Internet Explorer. As we want to have site working on all browsers I tried fixing this problem for a while now and I almost have come to the conclusion that this is just an internet explorer issue.
I used Geoff Muskett his example (http://geoffmuskett.com/text-with-background-padding-on-the-end-of-each-line-and-a-gap-between-lines/) and it does work as excepted except IE.
The problem is that when I open the page in IE, the box-shadows seems to be rendered somewhat blurry even though I set the blur to 0 pixels. (or just not added it, both did not work).
Even the code from Geoff his example does not work:
HTML
<h2><span>Could you benefit from having Alfi in your home?</span></h2>
CSS
h2 {
line-height: 1.8em;
font-size: 1.7em;
display: inline;
}
h2 span {
padding: 0.2em;
box-shadow: 0.2em 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.7), -0.2em 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
background-color: #fff;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
}
Is there anybody here that knows this issue and knows if there is a solution to this that is not very hacky (not preferred)?
IE 11.0.9600.17905

I have been investigating this issue this weekend and found some posts of people having exactly the same issue as I am currently having. This seems to be a rendering bug in IE. See: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/810756/ie-11-gap-between-element-background-and-its-box-shadow
Also in another StackOverflow post, someone by the name of #nickmorss says using the box-shadow to accomplish the multiline padded text is not working in IE11 and FF34+. It could be fixed in FF using box-decoration-break: clone; but this does not work at my side.
I think this is something not fixable in CSS by myself as this may be just a narly bug.
I found this worked in IE11
body{
background-color: blue;
}
h2 {
line-height: 1.8em;
font-size: 1.7em;
display: inline;
}
h2 span {
padding: 0.2em;
box-shadow: 0.2em 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255,0.7), -0.2em 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
background-color: #fff;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
}
<h2><span>Could you benefit from having Alfi in your home? Making this text a little longer so that it wraps on stackoverflow</span></h2>
So I'm thinking that maybe your site is perhaps in quirks mode, or using a different rendering mode other than IE11.
Confirm that you are running in IE11 mode by pressing F12 and going to the emulation tab. Are you in the right document mode. If not you will have to fix your site to ensure it's using the right document mode.
Please note, that in the comments of that blog post it does mention it doesn't work in Firefox, but someone has post code that does.
Not sure if it'll solve it but try declaring your rgba values as rgba(255,255,255,0.7) I've not seen hex values used within rgba before and this may be confusing IE
I'm using the Stylish browser extension to create a custom dark theme for a website. In a recent update, the site owner came up with rounded corners for a lot of things, which is ugly as hell in my opinion, especially with input fields. However, when I try to apply border-radius: 0px !important; using Stylish, the input fields go nuts. It works fine on things like regular divs, but not on any kind of inputs, be it a regular <input type=text>, a <textarea> or even things like a <select>.
This is how a text area looks like without my custom CSS:
This is how it looks like with my custom CSS:
This is how it looks like when I add border-radius: 0px !important; to my CSS:
When border-radius: 0px is applied, all other border properties and background are ignored. Not even the site's native CSS properties are used. The browser just uses the standard look like there were no CSS rules defined for the textarea at all. color still works though.
It's like border-radius was intended to change everything. If I add it only on :hover, the input fields only go crazy on hover. I don't even have to use 0px: The issue happens even when I use the same 6px that the site's native CSS uses.
This is my whole CSS rule:
textarea, input[type="text"], .textbox {
border-color: #282828 !important;
border-width: 3px !important;
border-style: solid !important;
border-radius: 0px !important;
background: #0F0F0F !important;
color: grey !important;
}
What's really weird is the fact that border-radius: 0px causes no problems when added using the Firefox developer tools, so it seems to be a problem with stylish.
What's causing this madness? How can I fix it? Is there a workaround? The only idea I had is to use a custom JS that adds the property ...
Oh my god, removing border-style: solid; fixes everything. I have no clue why, but I am happy now.
I inherited a site that I'm working on finishing and there is this style applied to tags inside my footer (forgive me if I don't give enough info, just let me know and I'll put it up). The style puts a subtle background color around the header text and rounds the corners a bit:
h4 {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(32, 37, 41, 0.3);
border-radius: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
color: #5CB414;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding: 12px 0 8px 10px;
position: relative;
}
This works great in Chrome and FF but in IE8 it doesn't work. And in IE8 it doesn't float the columns next to each other. Here is the site. Scroll down to the bottom to see the issues (should be 3 columns but in IE it is only 2 and there is no background style applied to the H4.
I know IE is finicky, but I don't know what to do about it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
as far as losing the 3 columns at the bottom simple replace the ".col" width:300px to width:292px; It's just barely too big.
Also with the rounded corners being crossbrowser compatible I like to get my styles from here: http://css3please.com/
I do not know that rounded corners will work in ie8 or less so you might try doing it with jquery instead of css3
http://jquery.malsup.com/corner/
Versions of IE prior to 9 don't support RGBA or border radius, so these are simply being ignored. You can try the cross-browser syntax at http://css3please.com, but this won't give you rounded corners in versions of IE prior to 9.
Your column float issue stems from the use of an nth-child selector on line 1454 of your style.css:
.col:nth-child(3) { margin-right: 0; }
Again, IE8 and lower don't support this so you'll have to find a work around. You can add a class of "last" to the third column, and place this in your stylesheet:
col.last { margin-right: 0 !important; }
