To create a rounded rectangle with a 3D-like effect, I have a div inside a div, as follows:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
font-size: 0.948px;
}
.outer {
font-size: inherit;
width: 20em;
height: 26em;
background: #fc6;
border: 1.4em solid #bad9d9;
border-radius: 3.98em;
line-height: 20.8em;
text-align: center;
}
.inner {
font-size: 8.64em;
height: 87%;
background: #fff;
border-radius: 2.844px;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">768</div>
</div>
In this code, I am trying to create this, but depending on the exact value of div.outer's font-size (set via JavaScript), a 1-pixel padding sometimes develops at the top and/or sides of the outer rectangle, as shown here. I believe this is caused by the browser rounding the fractional border width up for positioning elements, but rounding it down when drawing it on the screen. This effect (bug?) occurs in Chrome and Edge, but not Firefox.
Edit: I would like to clarify that almost all the styles are dynamically updated via JavaScript (this is part of a larger project). The border-width could shrink to 0em or expand to 4em, and I am looking for a workaround to this bug (I believe it is a rendering bug) that works for any border-width.
My question: is there a way to fix this without
Using JavaScript to convert from em values to rounded px values?
Using a third element to draw the border (pseudo- or otherwise)?
Gallery:
- original
- at 500% zoom
- with the border-width at 1.0em
- with the border-width at 0.8em (what I want)
- with the border removed
(all screenshots scaled up using Chrome's trackpad pinch-zoom)
This is a known and reported issue, but currently this is considered low priority by the Chromium development team, so there's not much hope this will be fixed any time soon, if ever.
Here's the change that causes this: Use floor instead of round for decimal border widths; here's an explainer for the change.
Adding your case and a reproducer to that issue might help.
I would prefer not to mix different types of Units use em everywhere.
In addition, make the inner width 100% so it always fills the outer and does not have extra space of the outer visible.

I have this really simple form: http://jsfiddle.net/TKb6M/91/. Sometimes, when I zoom in or out using Chrome, the input borders disappear. For example, when I zoom to 90% I get:
Naturally, your mileage may vary.
In case you're wondering about those <span> tags, I added them following the recommendation at How do I make an input element occupy all remaining horizontal space?.
Is there a problem with my CSS or is this a Chrome bug? It seems to work fine on Firefox. What can I do to avoid this behavior?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that Luís Pureza has solved his issue, but I found a really easy way to solve it changing only this:
If you have a table border like this one:
INPUT,TEXTAREA {
border-top: 1px solid #aaa
}
Change it to this one:
INPUT,TEXTAREA {
border-top: thin solid #aaa
}

You are forcing Chrome to do subpixel calculation, and this usually has strange behaviours.
If you change the height of the input to 30px, then a 90% zoom works ok (because this is 27px), but a zoom of 75% not (because this is 22.50 px).
You can also avoid this by giving the border a width of 3px. In this case, you will see that the borders width is different in different places .
Anyway, the very best solution is to give more space around the inputs so that the border can be drawn cleanly even if it is in a subpixel position.
I know I'm late in the game, but fudging it a bit and set the border width to 1.5px seems to do the trick every time.
I had the same problem with a bordered div wrapping borderless input , and all the great answers here does not helped me.
Finally, adding:
overflow: auto;
to the div element (the one with the problematic border) did the trick.
It's because your setting a fixed height, and when zooming the input is growing larger than that height, making the border disappear. Use line-height and padding to get the desired height instead - see updated Fiddle
Update: Ignore what I said, it's because you're setting overflow:hidden on your span, removing that should do the trick. Might result in a need to change width of input though.
On a side note; you're making your span a block element which is fine and works, but it looks a bit bad. Try using block elements, like a instead of changing an inline element to a block, if possible.
I had a similar issue with chrome in 2018 - the top border was missing on inputs and textareas. The fix was to specify the top border in css simply as
INPUT,TEXTAREA {
border-top: 1px solid #aaa
}
I can't explain why that was needed, and it was only losing the borders in certain places, but at least that was a quick workaround.
In case overflow: hidden is neccessary , mention overflow: hidden only for the browser you are facing the width issue . In other browser, metion display: flex so that the width is automatically taken correct and also, so that on zooming in/out the borders do not disappear.
For example :
Width was not correct in my case only for IE, so I mentioned :
#media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) {
.spanStyles {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
}
And the zooming in/out issue was occuring in firefox and chrome, so I mentioned
.spanStyles {
display : flex;
}
this resolved my issue in all browsers.
thanks for all your answers above, I got the border issue such as this, the border display is a mess when zoomed down. finally found overflow: hidden worked for me.
export const InputWrapper = styled.div`
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-around;
width: 100%;
height: 56px;
border-radius: 4px;
border: 1px solid #707070;
padding: 16px 0 16px 16px;
overflow: hidden;
I've got a Problem with simple plain html/css Borders.
If i do something like that:
#demoDiv {
border: solid 1px black;
background-color: green;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
This cssText will style the div-element with the ID "demoDiv" to a green box with black border. The Box should be 102 px heigh and 102 px width, right?
But now comes my Problem.... Firefox tells me, that this box is 101,6px heigh and width.
The only border-width, that is working is "0" - the others had to be multiply by 0.8.
This is because you didn't set the box-sizing: border-box to your page. By default all Html pages content-box set in the box-sizing which simply means that it calculates the all sizes from the margin box to content area box. Make sure to learn more about it as it will useful for in the future.You learn more about border-box from the Mozilla- Mdn.
I found the solution here:
What could make Firefox render an incorrect border width? to sum it up: Firefox renders the border-width on zoom.Thanks for responding
I'm busy with a new website. For the menu bar, I put the width on 100% to be seen here:
font-family: 'Champagne';
font-size:20px;
display: block;
z-index: 1000;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
background: #0193CF;
text-align: right;
padding: 0 2em;
margin: 0;
text-transform: capitalize;
But for some strange reason, the width of the menu bar is actually longer then the rest of the page. Take a look at the screenshot at the bottom.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
The problem is a combination of width and padding properties. Padding, in the typical CSS box model, is additive. If your box width is 100%, the padding applied to it will add to the width. The width would therefore calculate at a number greater than the size set in your width property.
I would suggest using the box-sizing properties in your CSS, like so:
* {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
width: 100% + padding: 0 2em, is equal to something greater than 100%. By using the box-sizing property in your style sheet, you will tell the browser to include padding's as part of the total width.
box-sizing:border-box...
This basically takes into consideration the margin and padding when calculating the size.
A more detailed explaination on the box-model is outlined for you here:
http://css-tricks.com/box-sizing/
Another option to cover most cross-browser problems is to try using a reset to zero out all elements and bring you back to a true "start".
many browsers add their own little tidbits of padding oand spacing on specific elements, so a reset is often used to, well, reset your browser to a true "square one"
Here is one of the more popular ones:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
But this site reviews a lot of them:
http://www.css-reset.com/
If box-sizing doesn't fix this problem for people, check your top levels of your CSS - I found a rogue width:100% for the <body> CSS once.
My technique for debugging these problems is to open Developer Tools and delete blocks of the page (i.e. major <div>s) one at a time: if removing any of them causes the layout to snap back into place that indicates the one you just deleted was causing the problem.
width sets the content width which does not include padding nor margins.
Try removing padding or changing the box sizing.

I'm having trouble figuring out why border-radius is gone from my #screen element when using chrome but not firefox or ie9?
I have all the different prefixes for each browser plus the standard border-radius:
www.cenquizqui.com
The upper content box that holds the pictures, called #screen
a copy paste of screen's css:
#screen {background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #EEEEEE;
display: block;
height: 300px;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
overflow:hidden;
-moz-border-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-radius:10px;
-o-border-radius:10px;
border-radius:10px;}
Is it because chrome does not handle the 'trimming' of the images properly? I thought it was only a problem when you had the actual tags inside the rounded corner container, not when the img is called as background-image through css.

Here's a workaround that will fix the current chrome bug:
.element-that-holds-pictures {
perspective: 1px; /* any non-zero value will work */
}
This won't affect the display at all (unlike the opacity:0.99 workaround - which is great workaround, too, by the way).
Webkit cannot handle border-radius cropping for children and grand-children+. It's just that bad. If you want border cropping, it has to be directly on the div the image is placed on without going any deeper down the hierarchy.
There is a much simpler solution.
Just add overflow:hidden to the container that has the border-radius and holds the child elements. This prevents the children 'flowing' over the container.. Thus fixing the problem and showing the border-radius
Try the following css to the child elements of the element with border-radius set:
opacity:0.99;
It solves the problem and doesn't change the opacity much.
This worked perfectly for me.
It looks like you need to apply the border radius to the li element:
#slides li {
display: block;
float: left;
height: 300px;
width: 960px;
position: relative;
border-radius: 10px;
}
It very much does have a border radius:
(I just added a border with Chrome's dev toolbar.)
The border radius doesn't restrict its contents to within the resulting area—the space outside the corners are still occupiable by the element's contents.
My recommendation would be to overlay an image that had the corners cut out like that (and then use a map or whatever you feel comfortable with to still enable the left/right arrows).
