dropdown menu IE8 overflow hidden - css

site in question: http://ecogroovellc.com
When looking at the 2nd child menu drop-down (Portfolio>Music), it appears properly in FF and Safari, but not in IE8, where it is hidden within the 1st child drop-down. Any solution ?
Thanks!

I know it's because of the filter (providing opacity) in IE - it causes an overflow: hidden-esque effect.
I attempted to precisely locate it, but there's a lot of CSS/JavaScript to look through and I became disheartened.
What you need to do is remove the relevant filter rule when the fade transition is complete in your JavaScript.

If you set the UL in question (the one with audio and videos) to position:relative, it seems to fix it in ie8, but it screws it up in FF.

I had the same issue. I tried multiple variations, in the end I added filter:none !important; to my css rule on the containing element and that is what worked for me.

if you're trying to compensate for issues on IE8 you should always target it conditionally (add conditional class to HTML then write css targeting .ie8 specifically)
there literally isn't any way to write code that works for everything all at once...

Correct way to degrade gracefully?

I have a HTML 5 drag and drop game that doesn't work in IE so I want to basically just show the answers in the form of an image. At the moment I'm using CSS to hide the game div in IE and display a div with using display: block; to show the image and hide it using display: none on browsers like Chrome.
Is this an ok way of switching content based on browser or is there another method I should be looking at? What is the correct way to do this?
The only draggable elements in IE are the <a> and <img> elements.
Some people just wrap their (text) content with <a> tags that go nowhere, as is seen in Remy Sharp's demo: http://html5demos.com/drag. This works just fine in IE9, and probably older versions of IE.
So the "correct" way to handle IE is to use those elements.

Issue with li in IE

I have a div that on hover will change positioning on an image and toggle a div via css. The list uses upper-alpha for styling. This CSS works fine in every browser except IE. The issue that I'm having is that in IE, after hovering over the div, it changes to 0. from A, B, C, etc..
Here's an example in jfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/YALdD/
if this works for you, just put the letters in the lists and get rid of the upper-alpha style, like this: http://jsfiddle.net/mjgasner/6J6Nf/3
Here's the workaround that is mentioned from the link in the comment above:
http://jsfiddle.net/mjgasner/94tu4/1/
It clearly doesn't work.
AND
IE won't render those as animations, as they are not supported.
http://www.w3schools.com/css3/css3_animations.asp
You can animate the color change in all browsers (even IE6!) with jQuery UI:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/animate/
Here is the link to W3Schools: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_list-style-type.asp
You can see all browsers supported for certain element.
If you need something else let us know.
What version of IE are you using?

<a> tags not clickable in Internet Explorer 7 - why?

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.

chrome css problem: border (right) around link not displayed

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

Superfish-style dropdown menu won't show in IE

I've disabled the superfish js for now so it's pure CSS. The URL is http://pittsculture.studiotwo.com/category/outdoors-recreation/. It looks fine in FF and Chrome. But, believe it or not, IE has a problem with the dropdowns (e.g., under Outdoors and Recreation). Can anyone tell why?
On #main-nav, you need to remove the filter rule. The filter is causing Internet Explorer to behave as though you have applied overflow: hidden to the element.
Now your dropdown menu works, but it's lost the gradient.
You can add the gradient back in a way that won't cause the same problem by adding the same filter you just removed to #menu-category-navigation. As far as I can tell, it looks identical.
