Internet Explorer width issue - css

*I'm re-posting this question because I only got one response before, and it didn't work. Hopefully someone new will see this and know what to do! *
I'm using IP Net Renderer to view my newly installed forum (http://www.datesphere.com/forum/) in IE7. If you care to take a look, you can see the forum is overflowing its containing element (it's wider than the 960px container I have for my entire site).
I've tried adding overflow:hidden to the .wrapper class as well as width:100% to .tborder per advice received on StackOverflow, but it didn't work.
The forum renders correctly in IE8+, FF, Chrome and Safari, but not IE 7. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

If you use IE9/8 and run the Developer toolbar you will notice that the global.css that is being generated is different for IE7 from IE8. Take a look at what is generating that Style Sheet for you and see if you can modify it to make the MIN-WIDTH:930px; or MIN-WIDTH:100%;
Or a second option add somewhere after the glboal.css style sheet a inline-style or on page css or link another style sheet .wrapper { MIN-WIDTH:930px !important; } or .wrapper { MIN-WIDTH:100% !important; } so that it overrides whats generated in the global.css file.
IE7:
.wrapper {
MIN-WIDTH: 970px; MARGIN: auto; WIDTH: 85%; MAX-WIDTH: 1500px
}
IE8:
.wrapper {
MARGIN: auto
}

Change your min-width value for your wrapper class. You can set an static width or set it to 100%.

Remove #wrapper div
And set IE7 specific .tborder {display:inline-table}

100% height not working due to DOCTYPE in HTML5 ASP.net

I am trying to make a Asp.net website, The homepage design is a single page portfolio style; by having each or "projects" as 100% height of the view port underneath each other allowing me to use anchor tags. My problem is that when I am using the tag it messes up my css and does not work properly so how can I fix this?
I have tried the following:
/* in CSS*/
html, body{
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
And I have added the height 100% tag to each of the parent divs and or elements of the divs I want to be 100% but still no luck. I am out of options!
I can't post the full code because it is way to long and I am on a different computer to my one with code.
I think I understand what you're asking, but I'm not completely sure, nor am I sure where the DOCTYPE, anchors or ASP.NET come into play.
Here's a demo of a full page document, with a few full screen child divs.
html,
body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
body {
overflow: auto;
}
div {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Please keep in mind that percentage heights can become a headache really fast, so you need to understand exactly what you are doing.
Also note, this page is running Normalize.css which fixes browser discrepancies.

Bootstrap based theme broken in IE10

http://metagraf.github.io has been behaving well in all tested browser until IE10 came along. The top menu is overlaying the entire page when viewed in IE10.
A screenshot of how the page looks in IE10 can be seen here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2897577/ie10.png
Any ideas on how to fix this?
regards Oskar
So when I run the site in question in IE 10, yes indeed, the top menu does look buggy in IE 10.
The immediate source of the problem is the img in the navbar.
If you hit F12 and use IE's developer toolbar, and then if you set the width property of the img from auto to just being un-checked (so that auto is no longer the value, the site all of the sudden looks normal.
Digging deeper into the issue, here's the css setting for img in bootstrap:
img {
width: auto\9;
height: auto;
max-width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
border: 0;
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}
Ok, so what in the world is width: auto\9?
Well, looks like it is an IE hack, but a hack that does not apply to IE 10.
CSS \9 in width property
http://www.paulirish.com/2009/browser-specific-css-hacks/
So as a quick fix, I suppose one thing you could do would be to set a custom css property
on the img in the navbar that is exact about the width of the img.

Responsive Images won't Scale with Firefox as screen size is adjusted. Works in other Browsers

I'm new to responsive images but have figured out how to get my images to scale in Safari, Opera, and Chrome (don't know about IE) with the following CSS:
img {
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
As the screen size is changed, the image scales. In Firefox, the image doesn't scale, unless I change width:auto to width:100%; Then Safari scrunches up the image to nothing upon load or reload; although, clearing cash makes it full size. I'm working on Drupal with the Zen 7.5-dev responsive theme. And I'm keeping my css files in SASS, but this is probably just a CSS issue. Maybe I've missed something on the HTML 5 or CSS3 side of things.
Anyway, I got things to work by overriding the image width a Firefox specific directive like this:
/* Make Firefox images scale with screen width. The width:100% messes up on Safari */
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
img {
width: 100%;
}
}
I don't think I should have to do this, and googling doesn't seem to come across this issue.
This is the default CSS that is used for responsive Images:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
width:100%;
}
And this is the indispensable Javascript: Bongard.net
Thanks to David Bongard for the Javascript.
Now add the following to the "if safari" rule of the Script:
for (var i = 0; i < document.getElementsByTagName("img").length; i++) {
document.getElementsByTagName("img")[i].style.width = "auto";
}
Safari wants width:auto; the rest of the browsers i tested are happy with width:100%;
This works for me
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
img{
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
}
}
#media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
img{
max-width: 100%;
}
}
I have similar problem, and found out setting max-width on the wrapper element kinda solves the issue. (Only tested with Firefox 23, but it should works with earlier Firefox too.) See also these JSFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/ (demonstrate the issue on Firefox)
http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/1/ (uses max-width on wrapper to fix the issue)
http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/4/ (demonstrate that responsive sizing works, try resizing inner frame)
Before max-width:
After max-width:
One thing to note, however, if you happens to set padding on wrapper element, it won't be taken into img's width calculation and will cause inconsistent results between Firefox and Safari (http://jsfiddle.net/CLUGX/3/):
Chances are your image is inside a shrink-wrapping container, which then has to compute it's width based on the width of the image. And then the max-width of the image is 100% of the container's width.
If that's what's going on, the CSS spec doesn't actually define the behavior of such markup, where the parent's width depends on the child and the child's width depends on the parent.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=823483 for some discussion on the issue.
If you use the width for image in px or gave padding or used display:table instead of display:block for the image, then image responsiveness will not work properly on some/all browsers
Well after trying all sorts of codes and fidles, this simple edition on my css did the trick for me:
img {width: 100%;}
Simply then where you wish your images to resize, define them without adding the "width" parameter (sizing to original from source); and then if you do wish to fix their size, simply add the "width" parameter on SRC style (regular width="" definition won't work). If it's an inline image on your paragraph, simply wrap it in a div and align that div to whatever side you'd like. Reeeeally simple!
It works both for Google, Firefox and IE. Cheers!
I have just had this problem and found a solution: When I set the img max-width in my CSS sheet, nothing happens - the image won't scale. When I set max-width in the page itself - where the image is called, it works in all browsers and on all devices.
No:
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto; }
Yes:
<img src ="image.jpg" style="max-width:100%; height:auto;">
If anyone can shed some light of wisdom on this, please do.
I used Kridsada Thanabulpong's jsfiddle but only got it to work when I removed display:table from the div wrapping my image.

Firefox prints only first page and cuts the page on the right

I had big trouble with printing from Firefox (any version, mine is 16.0.2, but even Aurora dev builds did the same).
When printing the page, Shrink to fit in the Print preview doesn't work. Only way, how to fit the page onto the paper is selecting Zoom 70% in the same dialog.
Other problem:
it prints only first page.
What to do?
I needed to adapt the CSS file for printing, so I've done one. It works flawlessly anywhere, but not in Firefox. What was the problem?
First I've tried specifying Width and height for BODY and HTML in the print.css file. Than margins, etc.
Later I figured out what was the problem:
standard CSS file had the following in it:
body {
...
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
So I've added the following into the print.css file:
body {
overflow-x: visible;
overflow-y: visible;
}
I guess, if you had only overflow specified in the CSS, not -x & -y, you would need to specify only overflow:visible in the print.css file.
Printing from Firefox works now as it should. I just thought, that this may help somebody, who has strange printing behavior happening in Firefox.
In addition to the Kokesh's answer, some times attribute
display: table
generates this problem too. So you need change it to 'block' or another that fits to your requeriments.
I tried the fixes suggested in other answers but they didn't solve the problem for me. After a lot of research and trial & error, I have found this article by A list apart. I was skeptical because it's so old but it states that:
If a floated element runs past the bottom of a printed page, the rest of the float will effectively disappear, as it won’t be printed on the next page.
As I have a big floated container I thought I'd give it a try. So, I made a mix from the other answers and this article and came up with this:
body {
overflow: visible !important;
overflow-x: visible !important;
overflow-y: visible !important;
}
/*this is because I use angular and have this particular layout*/
body > .fade-ng-cloak {
height: 100%;
display: block;
flex: none;
float: none;
}
.l-content,
.l-sidebar {
float: none;
}
So basically:
Setting body to overflow: visible
Setting elements that behave as wrappers to display: block, eliminate all flex styles and reset height if necessary
Eliminate float on long containers
That mix worked for me! I'm so happy I thought I'd share :)

ie7 problem with footer staying on bottom of page

If someone can please help I am having an issue with my site in IE7. Go to this link
Testing page link
When you load the page then hover over one of the top nav links the Footer shoots up half the distance on the page and can only be reset by rolling over another tab on the right.
What the heck is going on? Is this a DOCTYPE or CSS problem? Here's what I've already checked
Doctype
CSS styles for image height and width to see if its releasing some kind of height (I dont know)
Duplicate css styles
Any help would be awesome THANKS
Just add:
overflow:hidden
to #nav a
Btw there are some better, pure css rollover techniques, just in case you didn't know
this has a strange smell to it (from your CSS file):
.rollover { display: block; cursor: pointer; }
/* Allow setting widths and heights */
.rollover img { width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0; }
/* only set width and height once */
.rollover:hover { visibility: visible; /*for IE */ }
/* sets any property for the :hover state */
.rollover:hover img { visibility: hidden; }
i would fool around with this here, maybe getting rid of the visibility hack...
if you want to make something not show, use display: none; instead of visibility: hidden;
EDIT: While this may or may not be a solution, I used to put endless comments in my source code so that I "knew where I was" when I was developing. One day I came across a strange error in IE that was generated by the use of a strange combination of comments. After I got rid of all my comments, the error was gone... I'm not saying, I'm just saying... maybe worth a shot...
I wanted to add comment. But, I dont have any points to add comment. Thats why adding it as answer.
I am using IE8. I have opened the link you have given in IE8 and I haven't noticed what ever you mentioned. It is working fine... If possible, you can try using IE8.
Thanks,
Srikrishna.
Really strange issue...
I was just curious about your float: left; property on #footer, and after i deleted that it seemed to work. Give it a try...
hope it helps.
Sinan.
