Flexbox causes an unintended linebreak in Opera and Safari - html

I’ve got a flexbox problem that occurs in Safari and Opera (probably Chrome also, haven’t checked). In Firefox everything looks as it’s supposed to. Here is the link: http://corvinweber.de/download/v5/
When you scroll down to the bottom of the page you’ll find the reply form. I want the fieldsets “.message” and “.senderforms” to be displayed next to each other, just like Firefox does it. However in Safari and Opera “.message” expands in width and “.senderform” gets pushed to the next line. Strangely, if I set the width of “.message” to 50 px “.senderforms” still gets pushed to the next line. The developer tool indicates that there’s a margin added to the right, although “margin-right” is set to 0.
I have also tried to use the -webkit-prefixed version of flexbox, but it didn’t help.
It’s probably just a small adjustment in the css, to make it work, but I can’t figure it out. Can someone help, please?

Obviously the fieldset nested in another fieldset was the problem. I turned the outer one into a form and it worked.

Text outside div in Safari only

I have this bug that let some text appear a few pixels outside a div on the right side. The strange thing is that it only happens in Safari. I've never seen it before and it's just regular HTML/CSS what I have used. I've looked around on the internet but I can't find the exact same problem - only some problems with content floating out at the bottom, because of a fixed height.
In the next 2 screenshots you'll see the same page in Safari and Chrome. The div has a overlow:hidden to hide a possible third line of text. I added fixed widths when trying to solve the problem. I also tried to add/remove some margins, but I can't get rid of the extra pixels.
Here is a full link to this page. It happens in this section of the website only. In other sections - like this one - where I use the same format with little differences, but the same CSS idea (fixed width with overflow:hidden), there is no bug in Safari.
I hope you have some ideas!
Removing position:absolute from
div#branch-search-results-block div.search-result-right div.search-result-drvl-info-bottom .spacer::after
css style solves the issue. But I am not sure what else is affected by it. Please try this.

Html paragraph spacing different in Firefox only

I've created a webpage that has several divs containing text. The right hand side of the page contains one large div made up of several paragraphs using the p tags. At the bottom of this large div after the closing p tag i have left some space so that the writing does not go right to the bottom of the webpage.
This space varies between browsers. It seems to display exactly how it shows in Dreamweaver in IE9 and Safari but when previewing in Firefox it seems to cut off some of the text at the bottom. This can be fixed by increasing the height of that div but then this also increases the space more in Safari and IE.
I've come to the conclusion that the spacing between each paragraph down the page is larger in Firefox than IE9 or Safari for some reason which is why the last bit of text is getting cut off in Firefox.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Here is link to my webpage: See the difference in the paragraph spacing in firefox compared to IE/Safari, most noticable at the bottom as it cuts off the writing:

Do you tried to set a fixed margin-bottom to your -Element... Maybe that is a solution for your issue.
Thanks Eray the reset.css file worked a treat. Thanks for everyones help and advice.I wasnt sure how to accept your's as the accepted answer as you posted it as a comment rather than an answer.

Internet Explorer Versions(Except 9.0) Problems About CSS3 Shadow and List Properties

I've been searching about this issue for a couple of days. But as the problems are spesific, so the solutions usually are. My problem is kinda common but the solutions I found so far didn't work for me.
I use a #header div which is around 30 px height. Under that div, I have 3 divs like left, center and right. I have an accordion menu with js in the left div, content place in center, and last tweets script in the right div. Since I added box-shadow to #header div, other div's under it are placed after where shadow ends. I used z-index to make header div's shadow place on other div's, and it works perfectly in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, even IE9! But when I try in older versions of IE, it just happens the way I tell. Here is a screenshot: http://www.twitpic.com/4kh9w3
Like I just said, I have "last 2 tweets" script in the right div. It fills < ul> < li> items with tweets and shows them. So that I can design this list in my css file. And same, it only doesn't work for IE7&8. I don't even mention 6, it's not so important. The problem is that IE automatically scrolls list items to left. So half of them disappear! Here is the screenshot: http://www.twitpic.com/4khajz
So, what can I do to save my view in Firefox, Chrome etc. and also can fix it in Internet Explorer 7&8?
I'm not sure if i understand your problem... but if you cant get shadows to work try looking here http://css3please.com

IE7 / IE8 Compatibility View: Element on page shifts to correct position when ANY css changes

I have an extremely strange problem in IE that I can't seem to track down. I have two boxes, both floated left, with a margin-left on the right box to give some spacing between the two. In Firefox (of course), it all displays correctly, but in IE when the page is first loaded, the boxes have no separation (no margin).
Here's the crazy part. If ANY CSS changes on the page at all, the box magically jumps to the correct position. And when I say any, I mean any. I modified the final font name of 3 in the font-family list of the body tag, and the box shifted to the correct position (this wasn't a change that would even modify the look of anything on the page).
I could post my HTML and CSS on the page, but it's fairly routine. I just wondered if anyone had come across or heard of this problem in the past? Incidentally, IE8 seems to render it fine.
Thanks.
Follow-Up:
So I was able to at least patch the problem by floating the box on the right to the right, and removing its margin-left property. Because my container div is just wide enough to accommodate the two boxes, this works for my situation, but it wouldn't be nearly as nice if the two boxes weren't contained so tightly in their container div.
Older versions of IE can be pretty buggy about how they handle floats. Try defining a width on your floated elements. This will help make the layout more explicit (so harder for IE to misunderstand) and trigger hasLayout if you haven't already (a weird internal IE property that causes a lot of layout bugs).

Internet Explorer 7 css/html float bug

The problem is a footer on a web page that seem to not follow the correct flow like it does in FireFox. The problem feels like it is an Internet Explorer related bug, because the layout will "magically" snap into place when i move the mouse over the link "Legg til i handlelisten". On pages where the "description" part of the page is longer then the left column, the footer displays correctly. From what I can gather the bug is only active in IE8 when its running in "IE8 Compatibility Mode" or "IE7 mode". I am not able to recreate the bug when running IE6.
I was wondering if anyone is able to find a solution to this bug, maybe some CSS property I can set or a tag that needs modification.
These two images show the error and what its supposed to look like:

Edit: Clear: both; doesnt seem to do anything to solve the problem.
Yes... it looks like a float-caused problem.
Try adding this line into your HTML, just before the footer:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
I think it is expecting an item that clears the floats.
Try floating the div.container or remove it, as it is useless and a mild case of divitis.
In older browsers, the float property in CSS removes the height from the element. Therefore an element which is floated to the left or right which would normally have a height of say 100px would now have a height of 0px and whatever content is below it would move up to fill that space where the content is supposed to be. Most browsers have fixed that error by now, but it still reappears in even the modern browsers. There is a very simple fix that you can add to your footer container in the CSS:
clear: both;
This will cause the element to clear any boxes that may be floating around and start fresh on its own line, or should anyways. It never hurts to try.
Read more about the clear property: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_clear.asp
What happens exactly is that the left column gets shorter by a line when you hover the first link in the leggtilihandleliste div, and it gets longer by a line again when you hover the second link. It's only the left column div that is affected, not the link, the list containing the links or the div containing the list.
I don't know exactly why this is happening, but if you specify a height for the div containing the links, it stops happening (eventhough it's not that div that changes size).
Why does DIV#footer have display:none on it?
Anyway, if you float: left on .footerWithRightAndLeft you should be ok.
You can inspect things in IE if you hit F12, in case you didnt know. It's not as good as firebug, but it's something.
