Weird div behaviour in Firefox 17.0.4 - html

I'm using a div to create a circle, to act as a period at the end of my headings.
This period/div worked fine for Safari, IE, Chrome and also FF just up until some weeks ago.
I can't remember any changes I've done, besides increasing the heading's font size, which made the period loose it's correct position. After correcting this, it's now suddenly approx 10-20 pixels below the right position in FF 17.0.4, but in correct position for IE, Safari and Chrome.
The period looks like this; (CSS)
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
background-color: rgb(252, 193, 54);
border-radius: 25px 25px 25px 25px;
margin-left: 651px;
margin-top: -125px;
The margin-left/top is to locate it correctly... so I can't change that just for the FF... or!?
Any ideas why it's suddenly has moved only in FF?
Do you need my homepage to get the whole picture?

Maybe is not the best way, but it helped me a lot to sort out my browser compatibility problems. If u still face this problems u can target your CSS classes only for Firefox:
sample (inside css file):
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
.my_class{
//attributes that will affect only Firefox
}
}

How can I remove the single pixel space between these elements on retina displays?

http://jsfiddle.net/36ykrp9x/5/
HTML
<div class="container">
<button>O</button><button>O</button>
</div>
CSS
.container {
width: 100%;
background-color: rgb(120, 200, 200);
text-align: center;
}
button {
border: 0;
width: 3rem;
height: 3rem;
opacity: 0.8;
background-color: gray;
}
This above code best captures the visual bug I am interested in solving. I should note that this does not appear to affect Firefox or Safari's latest versions. I am currently on Chrome 39. If you are on a retina display and a recent version of Chrome and do not already see the thin line between the elements, try resizing the window a bit. A thin line between the buttons will flicker in and out of presence.
For my purposes, there is at least one element above the button group in the hierarchy with 100% width, and the buttons must be horizontally centered within it. The buttons themselves must have opacity between 0 and 1. They can be divs, or any other element for that matter - but I have indeed tried others and found the problem remains.
Unfortunately, centering the button group within a fixed-width element doesn't appear to solve this issue for me, as the fixed-width button group must ultimately also be centered somehow which appears to resurrect the issue. Nudging with margins can lead to overlapping which is more obvious with elements that have such opacity - which is really no better than having the gap in the first place.
It is worth noting that indeed using background-color: rgba(r,g,b,a) addresses the problem for most intents and purposes, but I am very interested in resolving this without it if only to see that it's possible.
I am not particularly interested in solutions that involve JavaScript. Am I out of luck?
Based on the information you provided, and my own experience with Google Chrome, I'm led to the suggestion that this is a browser bug in Chrome, considering it only occurs in Chrome on a Retina screen, and other browsers such as Safari and Firefox do not exhibit the problem. Your HTML and CSS looks perfect so I don't see issues here.
You can verify that this is a browser rendering issue by also checking this in a latest version of Opera (on your Retina display), as Opera now uses the same Blink rendering engine as Chrome (which is forked from Webkit). If Opera exhibits the same issue then its a Engine issue which should be logged as a bug.
Unless someone else figures out a way around it, I am normally inclined to leave browser rendering bugs like this alone where possible so that you're not hacking code in your site, and when the bug is fixed, you don't have to do anything to your site.
The problem is with jsfiddle.net. I have the same 1 pixel space in Chrome 40 on retina. Try this: http://dabblet.com/gist/c0068a79fc0268482ee1
or the following code, loaded directly:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style>
.container {
width: 100%;
background-color: rgb(120, 200, 200);
text-align: center;
}
button {
border: 0;
width: 3rem;
height: 3rem;
opacity: 0.8;
background-color: gray;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<button>O</button><button>O</button>

Windows 8 IE 11 css not displaying the same as every other brower

![enter image description here][1]So i have created a website that i have tested and it works fine in all major browsers, except for when I am running windows 8. Windows 7works fine but i windows 8 a lot of my css is being affected.
I was wondering if anyone knew a list of things that were different or displayed differently because of this as i really do not want to re write the whole thing!
It appears as though padding might be adding to the height/width properties or something im not quite sure but would appreciate a heads up on any niggly things anyone else has found before i try tearing my css to pieces!
css
.whitebox-index {
background-color: #fff;
max-width: 1044px;
min-height: 1055px;
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 10px;
}
#banner {
width: 1024px;
height: 370px;
/*margin-bottom: 10px;*/
position: absolute;
background-image:url(../images/bannerhomebackground.png);
}
In chrome etc this displays as a my white background witha banner at the top and has the even white gap around it but in windows 8 ie this has the 10px gap to the left and top but the right has a 30mm gap.... the width has increased...
I just needed to uncheck "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" from the Compatibility View Settings menu.
Edit:
Worth noting that this will affect all of your intranet sites. You could alternatively use the x-ua-compat meta tag to set the docmode to Edge. – Jonathan Sampson

Dreamweaver different display than Firefox

I set up a simple example website to show you the issue that I'm currently fighting with:
http://examplesite.ohost.de/
In Firefox the site is rendering just fine, in the Dreamweaver, on my android phone and I think on other webkit browsers, the navigation bar buttons are cut off on the right and I think the buttons have slightly more width.
Here are some screenshots:
So what do I have to change to get a similar result to the one in Firefox in every browser?
edit:
I now tested it on the newest versions of Safari, Opera and Chrome and they are rendering it correctly.
You could use a fix size for navBtn, something like
.navBtn {
position: relative;
float: left;
line-height: 18px;
font-weight: bolder;
list-style: none outside none;
width: 100px;
}
This maintains element size.

Spacing different in Chrome and Firefox

Here is a link to the page that is giving me trouble:
http://youtube.thegoblin.net/layoutfix/
If you view the website in firefox and chrome you can see that the spacing is different. The way it looks in chrome is the way I meant it to look.
I have tried linking in the YUI 2: Reset CSS as it as suggested in another question, but I cannot seem to get it to work.
Here's the stylesheet link: http://youtube.thegoblin.net/layoutfix/styles/style.css
You should change line-height on some elements that contains text. These are line-heights for some (maybe all) elements you need to change:
#title: 56px
.yoText: 46px
#buttonTitle: 68px
#buttonText: 34px
Looks like browsers count differently line height for font you choose, so defiantly line-height could make it better.
Just short example, not full fix:
#dl-button #buttonTitle {
color: #37590B;
float: right;
font-family: "TallDark";
font-size: 600%;
line-height: 0.7;
margin-right: 60px;
margin-top: 20px;
text-shadow: 1px 1px #BDF277;
}
makes green button much better, so you may play around with others the same way.

Absolute Block Nested in Relative Block Appears Lower in IE8

Ugh. I really, really hate cross-browser compatibility... I'm working on a Wordpress site for a client to create a popup box that appears just below the item I'm hovering over (using a custom shortcode). I have top set to 16px, and it works fine in Firefox. However, in IE8, it appears a lot further down. Even if I set top to "0", it still appears BELOW the containing blog, instead of at the top of it.
I also have a related issue, in that the font size in IE8 is about 2 pixels smaller. There is a <sup></sup> tag before this, as well, but removing it doesn't change much--the font size is still smaller in IE8.
Here is the page:
http://www.medicalmarcom.com/services/
Every question mark along the left side has a popup that appears when hovering over it (kinda like a tooltip). I need to make it work in FF, IE, Safari, and Chrome. The only one it doesn't work in is IE. Thankfully, he didn't mention IE6, so I'm not worrying about it unless he singles it out.
Here is the HTML:
<span class="questions"><sup>(
<div class="popup_content"><span class="popup">?</span>
<div class="popup_inside" style="display: none;">We’ll ask questions to understand your business, objectives, competitive situation, and positioning statement.<br />
<span style="color:#15398c"><em>Read More >>></em></span></div>
</div>
)</sup></span>
CSS:
.popup_content {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
.popup_inside {
background-color: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #000;
text-align: left;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000;
width: 300px;
padding: 2px;
line-height: 1.5;
left: 0;
top: 16px;
z-index: 1001;
position: absolute;
display: none;
}
.popup {
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
}
Ok, this is due to how ie8 is rendering the sup tag, I believe. It considers its baseline the same as the rest of the text, rather than above it. If you want to do this with just css, I'd consider rolling your own superscript class.
Here's a fiddle of something that seemed to work for me.
As an alternative solution, it seems to be rendering correctly in IE7, you could force IE8 into IE7 Compatibility Mode. Drop this line at the top of your <head>. I don't know what this will do to IE9, but it's worth a shot.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
