When I use in-page links or "anchors" to reach a part of the page, the scrollbar doesn't allow me access to the content above -- even though it is there in the HMTL.
My site is developed in WordPress but I think the problem is more my CSS.

Any ideas are appreciated!
Line 92 of style.css, remove this:
#main {
overflow: hidden;
}
Seems like a weird bug, or maybe you have a height set in some parent element to the #main div. Removing that style should fix it though.
Further inspection I found this (style.css line 96):
#main-content, #secondary {
margin-bottom: -32767px;
padding-bottom: 32767px;
}
This is where your issues begin. Removing this nonsense fixes your original issue, but changes up the style of your site quite a bit. If you want to remove the black sidebar/footer, do that instead of pushing the containers all over the place.
When I tried playing with your code, it seemed to be this line in your style sheet that caused it - http://adanewmedia.org/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen-child-ada/style.css?ver=3.9.1
#main-content, #secondary {
margin-bottom: -32767px;
padding-bottom: 32767px;
}
Not sure what you are trying to do with that.
Also: firebug is rendering the page very oddly - I'd try validating your code as if Firebug is struggling to render the page correctly, then browsers are also likely to throw unexpected layout issues.
Hello I'm so utterly confused and I've searched around here for hours and tried everything, yes including rules specific for FF.
Here is my current class.
.paste_body
{
float: left;
width: 100%;
margin-top: -30px;
margin-bottom: -10px;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
Before everyone goes on and starts giving me advice could you please take the time to real time CSS edit via inspect elm in fire fox to actually correctly answer this? because I've tried it all.
The URL is:
skidpaste.org/QMGm3uOX
EDIT: Keep in mind this works in every other browser.
This happens because Firefox doesn't know where to create a line break since you don't have any spaces in your text strings. Although I tried your page in Chrome, and it "works", it certainly doesn't look very good...
Here is a link on how to deal with this in CSS:

This is driving me crazy. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here.
I have a word-press site I am trying to copy the design into an e-commerce skin
The wordpress site: http://solesu.clarityproductions.com/ and the
e-commerce skin i am working on is http://cspro.solesu.com/.
The words MAIN PAGE are slightly differently balanced from the wordpress site to the
e-commerce skin and I cant figure it out. Can anyone help me where the problem
is and what css change may need to be made. I have been looking a this for hours.
It looks like the background padding or height or something is a little taller
on top and bottom on the wordpress site but im not sure whats controlling this.
It seems that there is a quite a few differences in the code. Have you tried using Firebug for Firefox or the Webkit Developer Tools to inspect the page elements for differences?
After a quick look I can see that your missing elements and other stuff is going on.
This is what you have on line 54 in your styles.css:
.sidebox-categories-wrapper ul li a, x:-webkit-any-link, x:default {
padding-bottom: 3px;
}
It's the padding-bottom: 3px; that expands the height of the anchor tag.
Remove it, and you'll be fine.
This is the style giving you the issue
.sidebox-categories-wrapper ul li a, x:-webkit-any-link, x:default {
padding-bottom: 3px;
}
just make sure you overwrite it
#vmenu_8 a {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
And it'll be fine.
I'm designing a site (a customer portal) that will probably be used with mobile/touchscreen devices at some point in the future. In the past I've used CSS code like this:
div.Info
{
display: inline;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
}
div.Info span.InfoDetail
{
display: none;
}
div.Info:hover span.InfoDetail
{
padding: 3px;
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 1em; left: 1em;
border: 3px inset Gray;
background-color: White; color: #000;
text-align: left;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 25;
}
to create little CSS popups that display on mouseover and they seem to work very well. However I'm conscious that this may or may not work on touchscreens so I was wondering what the "correct" behaviour was as there doesn't seem to be much consistency that I've found across the limited amount of mobile browsers I've been able to look at. I had looked about a bit and it seems that this hover event may activate if the object gains focus, so I created some test code at http://mad-halfling.webs.com/testcode.htm that displays a small popup if you mouse over the "Mouse over for detail" text or the little up-arrow image:-
on iOS (I found a demo iPad in a shop to test it) this doesn't seem to work (I only tried the text as I have only just added the image)
on MicroB on my N900, tapping the text and image both bring up the popup, fine
on Firefox (I believe it's Fennec) on my N900 tapping on either does nothing
What's your take on this - it seems a shame as it's such a useful way of making popups without having to resort to javascript, but if it won't work with touch-screens going forward I'm going to have to rethink my strategy

The fundamental problem with mouseover, including when it is used for desktop websites, is that there is no UI indication of a behavior.
This isn't a definitive answer but I've noticed that in places where you would be using "mouseover" now on a mobile device you can use "long touch". The problem though is that nothing on the UI indicates that behavior. (To be fair UI conventions that have no indication have been around for a while, like double clicking).
The rule of thumb probably should still be that just like mouseovers, critical functionality shouldn't require them.
Why not have a image of a question mark in a circle (which seems to be common idiom) near whatever you'd like a popup for, and have that have onhover and onclick functionality to display your documentation?
This hadn't hit me until now (and this is not only in webkit browsers). On all texts in like p tags, h1 tags etc... there's an extra space over and below the text.
In chrome I found this:
user agent stylesheet
-webkit-margin-before: 1em;
-webkit-margin-after: 1em;
-webkit-margin-start: 0px;
-webkit-margin-end: 0px;
This makes the alignment wrong in some places. And yes I'm using a reset stylesheet and no padding or margin are added. Pretty much a basic setup. Why is this and how do I solve it?
You can also directly modify those attributes like so:
-webkit-margin-before:0em;
-webkit-margin-after:0em;
Works for me in Chrome/Safari. Hope that helps!
These -webkit-margin(s) are overwritten by margin: 0; padding: 0;. Do not worry about them.
Extra space? Maybe you've set line-height:?
I had the same issue. Displaying correctly in Firefox but not Chrome.
I had a closer look at http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ and found that I hadn't declared a general line-height for the body tag in my stylesheet. Set it to 1.2 and that recreated the correct layout in both browsers.
Just remove the whitespace between tags e.g.
<p id="one"></p>
<p id="two"></p>
becomes:
<p id="one"></p><p id="two"></p>
I had a same problem. Extra space between menu links. None of the above solutions worked. What worked for me, was negative margin.
Just do something like this:
margin: 0 -2px;
NEW EDIT:
This has nothing to do with -webkit-margins. Most likely your problem occurs with inline elements. This happens because you have spaces or line breaks between your inline elements. To fix this, you have many options:
remove all spaces and line-breaks between inline elements
skip element closing tag - for example </li> (HTML5 does not care)
negative margin (as stated above - problems with IE6/7 - who cares, upgrade ;)
set font-size: 0; to problematic inline element container (has issues with android and if font-sizing with ems)
give up inline and use float (this way you loose text-align:center)
Explained more specifically and examples by CHRIS COYIER
I was having this same problem with my <h3> tag. I tried setting margin:0;, but it didn't work.
I found that I was habitually commenting out lines in my css by using //. I never noticed it because it hadn't caused any problems before. But when I used // in the line before declaring <h3>, it caused the browser to skip the declaration completely. When I traded out // for /**/ I was able to adjust the margin.
Moral of this story: Always use proper commenting syntax!
For me, the picture was:
* {margin:0;padding:0;}
Firefox (FF) and Google Chrome both put 0.67em margins regardless.
FF showed its default margin, but crossed out, but applied it anyway.
GC showed its default margin (-webkit-margin-before...) uncrossed.
I applied
* {margin:0;padding:0; -webkit-margin-before: 0; -webkit-margin-after: 0;}
but to no avail, although GC now showed its default margin crossed.
I found out, that I can apply either
line-height: 0;
or
font-size: 0;
to achieve the desired effect.
This makes sense, if one assumes, that the margin is of the .67em - type.
If anybody could give an explanation, why browsers make our lives miserable by applying a line-height dependent, non-removable margin, i would be really grateful.
For me in Chrome it was some 40px padding-start that was causing this. I did the following that worked:
ul {
-webkit-padding-start: 0em;
}
-webkit-margin-before: 0em;
-webkit-padding-start: 0;
-webkit-margin-after: 0em;
This solved it for me when I was having this exact problem.
In your css file add the following.
* {
-webkit-margin-before: 0em !important;
-webkit-margin-after: 0em !important;
}
'*' selects all css elements and overrides the webkit-margin.
Modern properties
The following properties should be used instead.
margin-block-start: 0;
margin-block-end: 0;
It's very rare to need to use these at all, but the following can be useful to avoid extra space after the last paragraph in a series.
p:last-child
{
margin-block-end: 0;
}
I also found that even in Chrome you can trigger the 'ghost margin' by setting margin to inherit in some cases.

I had the same problem. Suddenly one out of my three table cells containing data its header was moved down a little bit. My problem was simply solved by adding this:
table td
{
vertical-align: top;
}
Seems like some other element in a 'higher' style sheet was telling my data to center itself in the cell, instead of just staying on top.
I guess its just stupid, and wasnt really a problem... but the next person to read this topic might have the same stupid error as i did :)
Take care!
If user agent stylesheet is kicking in, it is because the tag property was not properly defined in your css stylesheet.
Chances are that a typo, forgotten bracket or semicolon is breaking up your stylesheet BEFORE reaching the tag property settings your page later refers to or "needs".
Run your CSS thru error checking, like CSS LINT and fix whichever errors are eventually detected.
