I am getting this display in IE 7
I am getting this display in Firefox:
for the following code
Could anybody point me, What I should do to make the IE Display simalar to Firefox and also, How Do I make the Size should be same for all the headings?
Internet Explorer does not support gradients, shadows, nor border-radius properties. border-radius is supported in IE9, but this won't be of much help!
You can look into CSS3 Pie, which uses IE-specific .htc files to achieve almost the same effect.
For now, if you really need to be fully compatible with all IE's (and other browsers for that matter) I'd use an image. It's not very nice but at least you can rest assured that it will always work ;-)
Rounded corners and drop shadow aren't going to work in IE7 without a lot of clever image tricks. You can't fix it through CSS alone.
Alternatively you could probably find a JavaScript plugin which would create these effects for you if you don't mind taking that route (see curvy corners for example).

I've got a fancy css neon effect on a navigation. This works perfectly on any major browser except on IE < version 10.
The problem is that there is no text shown on IE 8+9.
I have no Idea where to start with a fix so I would be very grateful for every tip.
It doesn't need to be working with IE8, IE9+ would be fine.
The effect can be found on the page http://www.arch-on.ch/team/philosophie/
Many thanks in advance for any helpful input
CSS property text-shadow is not supported by either browser (IE8, IE9) and box-shadow is only supported by IE9
You best solution is just not to have the glow effect in those early browsers and give users of those browsers a warning that the site looks better in a modern updated browser.
To achieve what you want in those browsers you would have to create transparent png images and swap them out on :hover. But this because real messy (especially when you have to keep adding new text or change text) and is not efficient.
Do not create more work for yourself with something that just applies to aesthetics.
Try Quirksmode for before: and after: content: http://quirksmode.org/css/user-interface/content.html
There is also a plugin called CSS3Pie that "makes Internet Explorer 6-9 capable of rendering several of the most useful CSS3 decoration features". Maybe implementing this is okay for you. http://css3pie.com/
Otherwise you have to avoid using CSS3 if you want to go down to IE8. Check this chart for browser compatibility of CSS3 statements:

I'm not allowed to delete this question so just ignore it
In IE10, quirks mode, gradients now -ARE- appearing without my having to change anything. This is using the DXFilter, which I don't understand as the option is switched off and according to microsoft DXFilters now don't work in the internet zone?
(I missed out the 10 on IE10, question may make a little more sense now)
We have a site that is in IE6 quirks mode, it represents 10 years+ of development, has over 100 pages and realistically can't be changed without months of effort.
I need a css equivalent of gradients/addCone. At the moment I have a lot of info on the page, this cone appears in a tablecell, perhaps 20 of them. I looked at SVG but not sure thats a good fit as it seems quite verbose
Graphically I just want a gradient and a ball in the tablecell
It's arkward because if it was not in quirks mode we could use css3 but I don't think those features are available in quirks mode, but DX Filters have been taken away anyway
Any suggestions?
thanks
(addition, just found http://css3pie.com/ and a gradient of some description is appearing in quirks mode in IE10 so fingers crossed)
Ok, heres what I found
IE10 has withdrawn support for DXFilters, but you can put them back on in the browser. This can be set as a group policy
Internet Options-> Security-> Internet -> Custom Level -> Misc -> Enable Legacy Filters
SVG doesn't work in quirks mode, even if it did it wouldn't help as I need a graphical effect in HTML but SVG in IE10 doesn't allow mixing (it does in other browsers)
Gradients are in IE10, again don't work in quirks mode
css3pie implements gradients as (I think) VML, and it appears to work. The only thing you might have to tweak is to use position: relative in whatever container you're putting the CSS on
I'm hunting some very odd rendering issues in IE9 in windows 7. I'm using the microsoft "filter" method wherever there are gradients, it's HTML5, and everything is in standards mode.
Please note, as there has been some confusion: This is happening everywhere there are rounded corners, including in situations where there are no gradients, and even no background color at all. The specific issue can be seen in the screenshots below as gaps in the border and color getting repeated on the x-axis, INSIDE the element.
As far as I can tell, I have set up everything correctly, and of course it all renders just fine in firefox and webkit browsers.
Has anyone ever seen this? I'm chasing my tail and googling turned up squat.

Edit:
The twitter-bootstrap link provided below exhibits exactly the same issues on all their example elements. Smarter people than me are working on that project, so I'm racking this up as un-solvable with CSS alone. Feel free to close.
thats a known bug in IE9 and theres no really easy solution* to get rid of this. the easiest ways would be:
use a background-image containing the gradient instead of a gradient for IE < 10
use a plain background-color instead of a gradient for IE < 10
twitter bootstarp, for example has to deal with this, too. they've chosen to use a plain background-color for their buttons as you can read here:
In IE9, we drop the gradient on all buttons in favor of rounded
corners as IE9 doesn't crop background gradients to the corners.
*ugly svg-for-ie-solution: http://abouthalf.com/2010/10/25/internet-explorer-9-gradients-with-rounded-corners/
IE Filters and rounded corners don't play nicely together. You're going to have to choose between a solid background colour or square corners for IE. Vendor prefixed gradients are going to be supported in IE10, so there is that at least.
Twitter make note of this on the Bootstrap site, saying:
"In IE9, we drop the gradient on all buttons in favor of rounded corners as IE9 doesn't crop background gradients to the corners."
So, I have written out a site in HTML and CSS, and all looked fine and dandy in Safari, Chrome, OmniWeb... even Opera. Then I tested in Firefox and Camino (which I believe uses the same rendering engine as Firefox) and was unpleasantly surprised: some of the positioning of my divs was off - noticeably off - by at least 5 pixels. While that might not seem like a whole lot, I use divs to put borders around things that I would otherwise have difficulty with putting borders around (jquery image gallery, for example), so 5 pixels matters quite a bit.
My question is this - what other quirks does Firefox's rendering engine put in, and how can I get around them? Are there special properties I need to add to my CSS in order to make it behave the same for Firefox/Camino?
Thanks in advance for the help!
You should look into using a css reset, this will give you a blank slate and will for the most part normalize how browsers render the box model.
I recommend http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/
Recently i have come up with problem with background image like a ipad theme that contain a video, problem is that size of video may change, so i thought of trying border- image properties of CSS3. the major properties of css3 could be made cross browser compatible by using some technique or other. currently i use css PIE. but it doesn't support image border property in its recent version, IS there any way round. Just need to fix it. IE is really a pain :(
I thought of using some "Ninja in your browser" script it didn't worked.
Nope. There's currently no way to get border-image into all versions of Internet Explorer. PIE is working on it for IE9, from what I've found, but ran into some breaking problems (see more info in this duplicate question).
From the sound of it, your best bet is probably to allow IE to gracefully degrade by using a simple border or background.
