My site http://bit.ly/aokA4I has a search bar on the top right.
You can see it on IE7, FF, Chrome, Safari -- but not on IE8. It gets chopped off.
BTW if you happen to see it on IE8 just refresh the page and it will chop.
If I run IE8 on compatibility mode the search bar becomes visible.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks!!
It's because IE8 is interpreting the nature of its parent container: header_widget_1. The sizing or formatting of this element is causing the <li> element to be clipped prematurely. If you have Google Chrome, you can right click the sidebar element you're asking about and choose "Inspect Element". This will show you what the elements are doing.
Edit: You also have a sizable horizontal scrollbar in IE7.
Edit 2:
You might try altering the height of your #header element to be the height you want. Since height is not expressed in the sidebar class, this may also be contributing to the problem.

Here is the link to the website I am talking about.
My problem is that when you navigate between the different pages in the main navigation, the main wrapper does not align on the different pages I have used. So if you are on the home page and you click on "WMH" in the main navigation bar the whole page jumps to the left by about 8px.
This creates a jitter between pages that my client really doesn't like. I used some padding-left and padding-right in css to align it correctly. Unfortunately when I get it pixel perfect in Firefox, it is wrong in Chrome and Safari. If I get it pixel perfect in chrome, it jitters in Firefox. This is very irritating. I don't want to have to write separate styles for Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari unless it really is the only solution.
Thanks for your feedback.
Archie.
The browser scrollbar looks to be causing this. You can force a scrollbar to always appear which would solve the issue. Add this to your CSS:
html {overflow-y: scroll;}
You would also probably need to remove the padding that you tried to fix the problem with originally once the above style is in your CSS.
I have a very specific layout to achieve with HTML/CSS. Basically I have a text container with a couple of left-floated boxes within. I then have a footer which needs to overlap this text container by a few pixels at the bottom. I'm achieving this by using a negative top margin on the footer, and setting position:relative and z-index on the text container and footer to make the footer layer stack above the text container.
It can be best demonstrated in a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/sW9cu/2/.
The issue is that in IE9 and Firefox 18 the content of the footer clears the content of the text boxes, whereas in Chrome the content of the footer overlays the content of the text boxes without any clearing.
I basically need this to be consistent in IE7+, Firefox and Chrome, one way or the other. Not bothered which way - it can either clear or overlap, but it needs to behave the same regardless of browser.
Can anyone see why it's doing this and how to rectify it? It may be to do with the micro clear fix I'm using on the text container, but I'm really not sure.
Thanks for any pointers folks - this one has me stumped!
Sorted. I couldn't overcome the issue with the current mark-up but by removing the negative top position and adding an absolutely positioned div inside the footer with a negative top value (top: -20px;) that has achieved what I'm looking for. See: http://jsfiddle.net/sW9cu/4/.
As I know, the answer would be WebKit in CSS
Internet Explorer, Firefox and WebKit are three different things.
Webkit is used by Safari and Chrome.
moz is for Mozilla
o is for Opera
"normal" is for Internet Explorer.

I'm having a cross-browser compatibility issue with Chrome vs FF.
Here is the web inspected from Chrome, you'll see that the box for the DIV #content is overlapping the box for the H3.
In FF, the #content DIV does not overlap:
The issue is the difference in overlap is causing the background behind the Doctors' heads (the light blue canvas texture) which is relatively positioned DIV to be off. In Chrome is positioned well, in FF the green "view all button" is beyond the background.

It looks to me as if they are both in the same place, just chrome is showing you the region differently in the inspector to FF. I don't think its an issue at all.
I have a feeling that if you fix some of your Validation Errors, the problem might fix itself. Of the ones listed, the immediate red-flags that I noticed were that you have a bunch of these errors:
Error: Duplicate ID
Check #wrapper, #mainBox, etc.
on line 72 of the css, i took out the
p{
margin-bottom:12px;
}
and it fixed the positioning of the green view all button. You will then have to reapply the margins more specifically to the elements you want them on
I have a problem with our website at www.eat.vn. The site is fine in Firefox, Chrome, IE8 & IE9 and Safari, but in IE6 and IE7 we have a problem with a main design element.
Please see the attached image and you will understand that the stacking effect on the tabs is not what I wanted. I have tried to work around this bug, but can't manage to find a solution which does not mess up anything in the other browsers. Any help would be much appreciated!
I don't have IE6 or IE7 to hand to test this, so I'm shooting in the dark somewhat.
My guess is that the issue is related to the container element for the tabs (<div id="steps">). This has a style of float:left;, which I don't believe is necessary; it doesn't need to be floated since it doesn't have any other elements next to it.
However this float may be causing the IE6/7 bug; it looks as if this element has decided that it should only be as wide as one of the tabs inside it, which is then causing the tabs to wrap beneath each other.
I would therefore suggest taking the float:left away from this container element, and see if that helps.
(The tab elements inside it should still be floated, of course)
I'm having an issue with my navigation, the first list item appears to have a huge gap on the right.
I have a list of links inside an UL each have their own class so I could set a background icon to them. The first link has a background to give it the rounded effect.
I used relative to push to left so it would have that rounded effect for the hover and active states on the homepage and hover for when i'm on other pages.
Now it all works fine in new browsers apart from IE7 and probably older versions.
I've put it on JSFiddle to make it easier to view.

Live Demo (edit)
I got rid of <div id="navHold">.
I removed right: 40px from #topNav2 .home-icon.
I changed the width of #Navigation-Holder from 750px to 830px to make it appear the same width it was before I changed anything.
I've tested that this looks consistent in: IE7, IE8, Firefox, Chrome.
