CSS sticky footer makes scroll bar unscrollable in IE 8 - css

I'm using this sticky footer in my website:
http://www.cssstickyfooter.com/using-sticky-footer-code.html
It is fully working in Firefox, Chrome, IE7, but not IE8. In IE8 the scrollbar appears but doesn't work, and I don't have any other way to move down. I'm using the conditional statement that appears in the web:
<!--[if !IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
#wrap {display:table;height:100%}
</style>
<![endif]-->
Sorry, but I can't post an address, I don't have a server online right now with the web.

Thanks to Alec,
I decided to retry to move the code back to the basics. But this time, I consider that maybe it was related to other CSS I had in my website, bingo!
Finally found the CSS rule that was making the scrollbar unusable. I was using a gradient color for the background of the body:
body {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#52a0d6', endColorstr='#024f7c');
}
Now I'm using an image for the background and the scrollbar is working and the sticky footer is right where it should be.

Link/mouse over background image not clickable on IE 8

This is my site
www.landshoppe.com
My links and searchbox in the over laying divs of the header portion with background image is not clickable in IE 8. Is this an inherent IE Z-index problem ? (Though I have given a Z-index 5 for the searchbox div). Or is this a position issue ? (I have assigned position relative to the div).
The page validates in W3C validator. So no html errors.
Where is the glitch ?
You should create a specific stylesheet for IE. Reference it using conditional comments like this:
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/ie.css" />
<![endif]-->
And add in the CSS - for the clickable area - these attributes:
A background color (any color, it does not matter). E.G.: background-color: #000000;
ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0)";
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
This solved it for me!
#Consta Gorgan I found a solution by putting all the events inside the div into another within this div and making its position:absolute. Now it works ! Though I have some issue in mobile responsive design. Guess I will tackle that as next level :)

CSS background image left half showing only on older IE

I have this CSS code:
body {
background-image: url("url");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 100%;
} on content {width: 80%;}
Works fine on Chrome and recent IE, but breaks older IE. In the error case, the image does not go the full width of browser and thus shows up only on the left while the right side becomes blank. Appreciate your help.
It sounds like it's time to break out the conditional tags for shotty IE browsers.
<!--[if IE 6]>

<![endif]-->
My favorite is adding a unique style sheet for legacy browsers this chap covers it well.

Good luck. Hope this helps you out.

Making very simple html page cross-browser compatible with CSS

I have this "web-site" -> http://www.krlja-ustvari.hr
It works 'perfect' in Google Chrome. By 'perfect' I mean that content is always 100% width and 100% height, overflown stuff is hidden and line breaks are made without <br /> tags. That's exactly what I need.
However, when I look at the same page in Firefox or Internet Explorer (didn't check with other browsers) I can see vertical scroll bar. That's exactly what I don't want.
My question is simple: how to make this page render in all browsers like in Google Chrome?
Thank you very much for any help!
if you do not need scrollbars in the body/document at all
<style type="text/css">
body { overflow:hidden; }
</style>
I believe that if you change the min-height:100% declaration on #content to just height:100%, you should be fine in those other browsers.
That worked when I edited your page in Firebug for FF.

HTML5 elements working in Chrome but not Safari or Firefox?

I'm using the HTML5 elements and in a project i'm working on and the css seems to be working fine in Chrome. However, it doesn't appear to be working in Safari or Firefox (I haven't tested IE, but I'd imagine it's the same), and the page layout is all over the place.
Any ideas why this may be? I know Firefox and Safari both support these elements, and Safari is webkit-based like Chrome, so I can't figure out what the problem is.
You can see the webpage here. {website link not available}
Safari and Firefox have the same level of ‘support’ for HTML5 sectioning elements (after seeing your demo page, I’m guessing these are the elements you’re talking about): they can be styled, but you have to set display: block; implicitly.
aside, article, section { display: block; }
Adding this rule to your CSS will solve the problem.
To make these elements stylable in IE, you just need to use the HTML5 shim/shiv. Put the following HTML in your <head>:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Which part isn't working exactly? The <canvas> element appears to be rendering correctly, your <article> container isn't being ignored.
I'm in FF3.6.2, btw. The only CSS errors I see are just that: CSS errors.
I had a problem with "figure" element, not showing background image. so i overcome the problem with this...
background-image:url("../img/login_bg.jpg");
background-position:center center ;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
This didn't work...
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) url("../img/login_bg.jpg") scroll center center / cover ;

need help fixing css for IE6 >_<

I am working on the following page: www.darksnippets.com
It looks good on FF and chrome but on IE6 the width looks terrible for the home page and other pages. for example: http://www.darksnippets.com/?page_id=62 on IE6 is extra wide.
I cant seem to fix this issue. I know the site is using tables rather than div's but I've grandfathered this in. Would just like some ninja style IE6 fix.
use this :
<body>
<!--[if IE 6]>
<div id="ie6">
<![endif]-->
yourcode
<!--[if IE 6]>
</div>
<![endif]-->
</body>
in your css file do this
for example you have this :
<div class="header">content</div>
the normal css would be :
.header{width:100px;}
and if you want to ajust it for ie6 you should do :
#ie6 .header{width:120px;}
so this code :
.header{width:100px;}
#ie6 .header{width:120px;}
would make your header 100px wide in most of the browsers and in ie6 it would make it 120px.
Don`t forget. Use Css
The first table in your code has a 100% width. Shouldn't be too tough to set it's width to 800px (or whatever your page width is) and center it so stuff doesn't break out of that.
