We have a public Cognos 8 BI reporting solution running inside an iframe. Cognos 8 BI supports Firefox and IE. IE works fine. With Firefox 3.6.13 (the current version) when the report parameters are changed the iframe is often not rendered but is left completely white. This never happens with IE, Firefox 3.0.18, Firefox 4.0 beta 9 or if the report was opened directly without an iframe. Are we facing a Firefox iframe rendering bug? Debugging with Firebug indicates that all content gets loaded by Firefox but it just never displays.
This is how to reproduce: start Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows (don't know if it reproduces on Mac or Linux, reports are welcome). Go to https://sampo.thl.fi/select?area=ESHjono and let the report load completely. Yes it is all Finnish :-D On the topmost dropdown box change from Parivertailu (first selection) to Aikasarja (third selection). A vertical bar report should load. Now change any report parameters in the three dropdown boxes on the report (SAIRAANHOITOPIIRI, Erikoisala, Hoitoa odottaneet yli 180 vrk (%)) to any values. Very often the report is not updated but is left completely white. But if you load the report directly without an iframe via https://sampo.thl.fi/launch/ESHjono-report-aikasarja-prod and change the same parameters there, it gets updated every time. Strangely the issue can be reproduced also on Nokia N900 Maemo Browser (unsupported by Cognos 8 BI). So it might be a Gecko iframe rendering bug, not just something to do with Firefox.

I have a strange problem with Firefox 26.0 browser. I could see unaligned text for a second, before browser rendering the dynamic web page. my webpage works good in chrome and IE.
Initially it shows the incomplete UI, once it gets the service response, it shows unaligned text for a moment and immediately it loads the page properly. It gives some blinking effect.
Anyone have faced the similar issue?
uninstall the firebug and disable all debugger from browser.
I've recently completed my first custom-built Wordpress website, based on Automattic's Toolbox theme, and am in the process of testing it. I'm having some strange issues with IE 6-8 which I've not experienced before - the entire navigation bar, including the background colour, disappears leaving only the logo. None of the navigation links show up, nor does the button which triggers the menu dropdown on small screen sizes.
The website is http://fpsl.eu , and I'm pretty much stumped. I don't think it's a JS issue since it works fine in Firefox and Chrome without JS. An HTML5 shiv comes preinstalled with Toolbox so I don't think it's a compatibility issue in that respect...but maybe I'm wrong, and I don't know how to check!
(I'm using Browserstack to test and am actually wondering if its rendering is accurate - my portfolio website which I tested extensively a few months ago - www.dearjackalope.com - is now causing Browserstack's IE virtual machine to hang, despite my having made no major changes other than adding content - this is a separate issue I guess, but it makes me unsure as to whether all my sites are breaking at once or if it's just Browserstack being moody!)
I am checking your site(http://fpsl.eu/) in ie7,8 and 9. It's working properly.
1) Fix your markup code errors; they may not be the whole trouble, but fix them first: [Invalid] Markup Validation of fpsl.eu - W3C Markup Validator. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code. Start fixing the code errors and revalidate.
2) You need native IE7+ - not Browsershots - to fully test IE. Find a Windows PC to test with and use F12 dev tools in IE to emulate other versions.
3) Forget IE6; it's dead.
I have an ASP.net website that was working fine with IE9, Mozilla, chrome but with IE 10 users have lot issues. The UI and even the functionality (like clicking on button, login/logout do not work) doesn't work well with IE10.
The IE version I have is 10.0.9200.16519.
I see few differences between the view source from IE10 and google-chrome (or even IE9) but can't understand much of it.
Where actually in the site can I check why pages sent to IE 10 browser is different from others browser or IE9?
Please suggest how can I debug further?
PS: The site works fine with IE9 and below versions of IE.
ASP.NET fails to identify IE10's user-agent string, and as a result can send back broken code. This has been discussed in various places, but probably most notably on Scott Hanselman's blog. See the post titled Bug and Fix: ASP.NET fails to detect IE10 causing _doPostBack is undefined JavaScript error or maintain FF5 scrollbar position.
check if there is any js error, use IE developer toolbar (F12) to debug script
I have an application with crystal reports which I've just noticed has a fairly large issue. The treeview/drill-down menu on the left will not display in Internet Explorer, however it does work with other browsers (chrome/firefox/etc.). I've never used CR before (these are actually inherited, I haven't touched them), but I'm guessing it's an IE option that's not set some where. Any idea how to fix this?
EDIT:
Per the question about browser version, I am working with IE8. I did notice that when compatibility mode was turned off, it displays as I would expect. However, the app is supposed to handle IE7 (which I do not have access to) as well.
I am looking for a fix for styling a webpage that so that a webpage on google chrome, will look the same as it does on firefox, meaning, is there some syntax in css to make all of the web browsers look the same. does this exist (I would also like one for I.E., and any other web browser if it exists if it exists)
Google Chrome uses a different rendering engine than Internet Explorer/Firefox, so may display web pages differently. Apple Safari uses the same rendering engine as Google Chrome (WebKit) and should display pages the same way.
If your site isn't rendering properly in any browser, make sure your HTML and CSS are valid by testing them at http://validator.w3.org/.
If your site doesn't render properly in Google Chrome or Apple Safari, file a bug at webkit.org as described at http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html.
If your site renders properly in Apple Safari but not in Google Chrome, please file a bug against Google Chrome at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list.
How can I test my website in Google Chrome?
There are several tools to help you test your website in Google Chrome:
Web Inspector
Right-click on any component on a web page to launch the web inspector. You'll be able to see the elements and resources associated with the component on which you clicked, including a hierarchy view of the DOM and a JavaScript console.
Task Manager
Select the Page menu icon, then Developer > Task Manager (or press Shift+Esc). The task manager shows all running Google Chrome processes, and the resources that they're using (memory, CPU, and network).
JavaScript Debugger
Select the Page menu icon, then Developer > Debug JavaScript. This launches a JavaScript debugger that can be used to attach to existing processes.
I found the Answer. Being that I am using drupal, there is a built in IE fix for the theme that I am using (fusion) that creates separate css files (ie7.css, ie8.css, etc). using these, I can adjust what I need for IE specifically.
Most layout problems with decent browsers are cause by invalid HTML, invalid CSS, or misunderstanding what a particular piece of CSS is actually supposed to do.
In general, when I see a difference between FF and Chrome, it is because Chrome is doing the proper thing and FF just happens to be rendering some invalid CSS fine. 99% of the time, I can fix the CSS and get FF and Chrome to render the same.
The remaining times, I typically browser sniff and use jQuery to fix the problem.
