I am having issues with a website that I am working on in which images and background-images fail to load in Internet Explorer 6.
Here is an example of a page on which you might experience this issue:
Example Page
So far I have looked at the following possible issues and pretty much ruled them out:
XML/Extraneous data in the image files (google photoshop 7 internet explorer)
Corrupt image files
I have not ruled out invalid markup.
I have noticed that there are validation errors in most of the pages where this problem has been reported and I am working on getting those fixed where appropriate.
The behavior I see is that the page will load and all elements other than the background image render. There are no javascript errors thrown. When using Fiddler, no request for the image is made. If the browser is pointed directly to the background-image, the cache is cleared and then the browser is pointed back at the HTML page, the background-image will load inside the HTML page.
Does anyone have any additional suggestions for ways to attack this issue?
Twice now I've had people have problems with photos not showing up, and it was because they were in an incorrect colorspace, using CMYK instead of RGB.
this is a weird issue with IE6. I just right click on the image and select "Show Picture" then the image loads properly.
I'm looking at this in IE6 and trying to replicate the problem, but I can't seem to get it to happen - it always seems to load.
Some thoughts on things to try though as there appears to be another two classes that the background is over-riding is to try adding !important after the background assignment, so:
div.gBodyContainer {
background-image:url(/etc/medialib/europe/about_infiniti/environment.Par.7366.Image.964.992.direct.jpg); !important
}
Another thing to try is getting rid of all the . in the filename and cut down the length of it, shouldn't matter, but it may be causing some problems, doesn't hurt to try it anyway.
The other thing you could try is making gBodyContainer an ID instead of a class, or give it an ID as well as a class and assign the background to the ID. Again, it shouldn't matter, but it doesn't hurt to try and see if it works, IE6 does a lot of funny things.
is it only ie6 and not ie7 too? IE is pretty strict with html sometimes, versus firefox lets you get away with more. Not sure if this helps, but I just debugged weird IE6/7 bugs by slowly taking away content. But if it's only intermittent, as in happens with the same code on and off, that's a really weird one.
The problem is the "IE6" part ;-)
I think in some cases you could solve this issue by loading the full size image before the request and hide it with style display: none; so IE6 will load the image from cache.

I have a strange issue with jQuery mobile. I am using the latest version (1.1.1), though I also had this issue with 1.1.0 .
The issue being that my icons sometimes do not appear, as in, the image itself does not appear. I test this in chrome. I am not able to reproduce it on purpose, it is a problem which seems to occur randomly. When it does occur, it looks like the top header in the image below. However, when I open the element inspector in chrome and uncheck/check the background (or indeed any) property, the icon magically appears. Does anyone have any clue what is going on?
An image to illustrate the problem:
Edit: to clarify, my associate has had the problem as well. This happened in chrome, but on a different computer, so I doubt any nasty plug-in or so is playing evil here.
Edit2: a couple of things I have tried to resolve this problem.
preloading through javascript: implementing a line of code to make sure the background is downloaded.
statically adding a to the page to see if the controls are downloaded.
The strange thing is that nearly everything is drawn, apart from the background-image. This occurs for all the icons by the way, so the ones in listviews etc as well. Navigating through pages or reloading does not matter.
actually your app is not able to locate the jQM's CSS so I would recommend to use the CDN's for getting your css.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.css" />
Hope it helps.
This problem is only happening in Google Chrome on Mac OS X (Chrome 17). I've tested it on all the major browsers on Mac and Windows 7.
Here is the page in question:
http://dealsfortherich.com/drop/
As you can see, I'm loading divs via JQuery AJAX.
The page is always fine on "Refresh."
You can navigate pages with the left and right arrows. The problem happens when you change pages; especially when you change pages when scrolling the page quickly. Try scrolling the page down very fast and hit the right arrow.
The background images that were already loaded via CSS (for example):
.sort_block{ background: url(images/sort_block.png) no-repeat;}
start to disappear. Only background images that are loaded with CSS start disappearing. All are fine. If you open Developer Tools on Chrome inspect the elements, you will see that the browser has the correct syntax and it has already downloaded the image into its cache. For some reason, it's just failing to display it. The CSS display value is correct. In the Inspector, for the div with the missing background, if you modify a value such as "top: 8px;" to "top: 9px;" the image suddenly appears.
This is only happening in Chrome (v. 17) and Chrome Canary (v. 19) for Mac OS X (10.7.3).
Should I report this bug to Google or is there a known work around or fix? I guess I can replace the s with s but I would rather do it correctly and fix this weird issue.
I don't know if this is the same issue, but the root is probably the same: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=111218. Based on that report, I don't think there's a known fix yet.
I had the same problem and diagnosed it for hours, but it's not about your code, it's a memory related bug in latest chrome. In my experience it doesn't happen to small images, so a temporary solution would be to decrease the file size (to under 10kB or so).
I have a test file here, showing the difference between a big and a small background image.

We worked up a solution for this issue until Chromium/Chrome "fixes the glitch" (hi, Milton)...
My colleague, Andrew, posted our solution here:
http://blog.andrewcantino.com/blog/2012/02/15/fixing-the-chrome-background-refresh-bug/
You can see the page in question at:

It sounds like this has worked for others as well, but it's ugly!
I've recently had this issue, and the fix was to use the complete url, rather than a relative path.
E.g. change url(images/image.png)
to
url("http://yoursite.com/images/image.png")
Use :url(.//images path. The .// should solve the problem.
Heres the story:
When I load the following page in chrome (verified across 2 computers), it seems like about 1 in 5 refreshes results in display errors.
Often, the background image only loads halfway down the the screen, and the bottom half displays only white (which is weird b/c I have the background set to black under the image.)
There is at least one other incorrect way that it displays which is a less exaggerated version of the other problem.
Since it only happens sometimes and only on chrome (as far as I can tell) and only on one page of the site, I have ignored this issue for more pressing concerns; but I develop in chrome so I am constantly reminded of it.
I have absolutely no clue why this kind of thing would happen and even less of a clue how to remedy it. Any insight anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
The page
Try to load your page in Safari. If you see same problem, means you missed a bracket or semi column in your css. Webkit browsers seem to handle css errors this way. I had same problem happening to me once. My css file was over 2800 lines. It took some time to find the error. Best.
See the following link:
Issue with background color and Google Chrome
This fixed the problem for me...
Okay, this is REALLY starting to bug me...
This page works fine in both Chrome and Firefox. www.bloggan.tk
But if it's opened in internet-explorer it always expands beyond the page and introduces the scrollbar no matter what the resolution of the browser is.
I have NO idea what change in the html it was that cause this...
Here's the blogger-template-html-source
I'd REALLY appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
I've "solved" it for IE using javascript, but that's only temporary (i hope). The version without javascript can be seen here, so that you still will be able to know what I'm talking about. Still trying to solve it, and still hoping for someone to help me.
Before you ask a question here, you'll need to do some basic research yourself.
Strip out everything from that HTML file you reference until you have the simplest possible document that reproduces the error. Don't expect people to dig through a 40k HTML file to find the thing that's causing you grief.
Isolate it before you ask about it.
Incidentally, however, there is no CSS width or height specifier for "the rest of the page". You need to meticulously keep track of your percentage widths to make them add up to 100%, or use tables. If your sample is using percentages, then I'd look for borders and padding, since those are the things that cause discrepancies in box size between old IE versions and modern browsers.
My client is starting to get antsy....so any help would be greatly appreciated. I am having issues with my secondary page header images shifting. It is displaying correctly in Firefox, I haven't been able to check in IE yet w/out access to a PC. It was displaying correctly in Chrome, but shifting in Safari.
I added the "webkit hack" to write a specific css style for Safari, but once I did that....it started shifting in Chrome. What can I do to fix this issue??

There's some problem with the way you're using your .clearfix class that I'm not sure of. If you add a clear:both; to your .page_line class it will fix your problem.
You could parse the user agent and pass a different CSS file based on the result. However, it seems like a weird issue that shouldn't happen with proper CSS; can you post the specific bit that doesn't work?
By the way, you should read up on animation queue in jQuery! Hover many times on your menu and it'll keep flashing for a while.
The repositioning of .page_about is pretty odd. Why don't you just use .custom_title for the entire header? That wouldn't require such odd re-positioning.
