Same CSS but different results for Chrome and Safari - html

I have a search element widget on the home page of my site. Inside the widget there are different tabs which represent search criteria. The issue is for those inner search tabs look different in Chrome and Safari.
I am attaching the screenshots for both the Chrome and Safari versions.
Chrome version (preferred version)
Safari version (would like to see it like it looks in Chrome)
I tried playing around with it but all my hacks did was break it and make it worse. Can this be changed in Safari at all. There isnt much to the html, css code so I dont really know why it screws up in Safari.
Here is the public link for the site:

Any help and suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Does each one of the search criteria shift downward when selected? The image that replaces the text of the criteria might be set to vertical-align: bottom or some other type of affect on the image.

Im practicing how to create a responsive website using bootstrap. Everything was fine when i tested my site on Firefox and Chrome using the Resizer extension but when i tried to view it on Safari theres a very small but obvious discrepancy with the bottom padding in one of the boxes(the purple one with the greater than sign). Ill attached the pictures to show what i mean.

Is there any Safari Mobile specific CSS?? what should i do? help!
i heard stories that w3cSchool isn't the best resource (due to inaccuracies) but i feel this may be of some use to you. it seems that the image is being cropped but take a look at this and see your own CSS3 code to identify the issues, you may also have to consider using relative positioning as opposed to absolute.

also, take into consideration that while some browsers may seem to "now" support the features of CSS3, you need to also check for to version compatibilities. You can set up your site to use specific CSS3 features depending on the versions.

How to stop textareas looking different on two different versions of chrome?

Cross-browser testing gives me a headache at the best of times, but this one has really stumped me.
I developed my website in Google Chrome (and on a Mac), and have recently updated the search function and re-styled the search input area.
I noticed that when I did cross-browser checks in Internet Explorer, the text in the search input in the top right-hand corner of the website was not positioned in the same way as it is on chrome.
In my version of Chrome, the text is 10px away from the left edge of the box, so it sits in there nicely. On Internet Explorer, however, it is right up against the egde of the box.
Here's the issue - When I opened my website in Chrome on a PC the text in the input was positioned in the same way as it appears in IE.
I assume this is because Chrome on my Mac is a different version than that that is on the PC. Can anybody help me solve this so that the text sits nicely across these browsers?

Thanks in advance everybody!
Your CSS rule for #search_bar_2 has an _ at the beginning of the name change it to:
text-indent:10px !important;
and you're fine. Not a cross browser issue it's a typo issue.

Menu padding Issue since FireFox 4

I've checked other questions on here but I haven't found anything that will help me.
Since FireFox 4 was released I've been having an issue with the menu on my website.
www.ffxivinfo.com
As you can see, the menu is supposed to fit along the little graphic buttons so that each link is on the "button". In Chrome, IE8 (not checked 9) and FireFox 3.5 this looked perfect. However since FireFox 4 it has been displaying wrong.
It looks like it's a padding issue but I can't figure out where it is coming from. I have even removed the padding between each link so that they are close together (0 padding) yet the menu still stretches further to the right in FireFox 4+ than in other browsers.
I use the auto generated menus available at purecssmenu.com and I modified it to fit my own website.
Here is a link to just the nav code, I use a PHP include to insert it.
http://www.ffxivinfo.com/nav.php
And here is a link to the CSS for it.
http://www.ffxivinfo.com/navstyle.css
Basically I need the navigation to look the same in all browsers so that it fits into the graphic "buttons". I'm tempted to just scrap the current design and go with a simple gradient background and leave the menu wider in FireFox 4+ than other browsers but that's a bit defeatist.
Any help would be much appreciated. This is the first time a coding problem has sent me to a forum asking for help but I just can't figure this one out.
I believe the problem is not in your margins but due to the differences in text rendering between the browsers. In this case, Firefox is rendering the text slightly wider.
If I might suggest an alternative, rather than using an image background and hoping for pixel-perfect rendering (which is pretty unlikely given the diversity of browsers and operating systems out there) try styling the links themselves with background-color and border-radius.
I don't see the problem in FF6. However, I see you specify your font size in pt. pt is for print, not the web. Try changing that to px and see if that fixes your situation.
I might ignore the Firefox 4 issue.
FF is now on version 6.
Your issue does not appear in FF3.5 (the most widely used FF) or FF6, both of which have more browser share than FF4.

website written in HTML using iWeb doesn't show up correctly in different browsers

I have a question regarding how to make the same website appear consistently in different browsers on different platforms.
The following is a website that I made for my professor: http://youlab.wustl.edu/Home.html. The site itself was made using iWeb while the drop down menu was manually inserted using an external HTML code provider (SoThink DHTML).
While Firefox displays the site correctly, all the other browsers had some sort of problem displaying the site.
Internet Explorer: none of the links work
Chrome & Safari: the drop down menu is shifted all the way to the left, and were not clickable since it disappeared when the mouse moved towards it.
The movie on 1 page doesn't work either.
Could someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix the problem?

2 Minor Crossbrowser CSS Issues. Background images not displaying in Google Chrome?

I am working on the redesign of my website http://square1dev.com. In the sidebar however, I am having some issues making it look correct in Google Chrome. Issues are:
Categories Title (h2 Background Image) - There is supposed to be a small little line to the right side of the word "Categories". Safari and Firefox show this, Chrome however doesn't.
Categories List (li list-style-image) - Each list item is supposed to have a small image of Right Angle Quotes (ยป). Again, Safari and Firefox show this, Chrome not so much.
Any ideas why this would be?
Chrome can have some weird CSS caching behavior, based on comments and my viewing it in half a dozen browsers, I have to suggest blowing away your Chrome cache and trying again...I've run into this several times where it'll lodge a stylesheet in cache and not let go.
