Background info: I'm working on a public facing website for our company. developing in VS2012, asp.net and vb.net, using some JS, some JQuery, and a decent amount of CSS.
Everything was looking great in our internal testing, until someone checked from home, where they only had IE 9. Suddenly, big chunks of text within expanding panels weren't being displayed, the bottom of the page was missing in most cases, some links that call javascript functions don't do anything... It's so random that the only reason I think they're connected is that it only happens in IE9 (or probably before, though no one has looked.)
I tried setting the standards mode to edge in the web.config. (tried setting it to IE10 as well, just to try) I've played with changing some positioning, heights in px instead of %, relative to fixed positioning, tried inserting the html5shiv, removing the gradients... nothing has changed. Everything displays correctly, until it doesn't display at all. When I was starting to see and research this last week, I thought I'd found an article somewhere that said there were limits on the CSS tags you could use in a page for IE9, but that number was WAY higher than anything I'm using, including both what's on the page directly, and incorporating the .css file. The only other clue is that it looks like at the bottom, where the missing stuff starts, I also lose the gradient from the page background (so just a block of all white, however if I play with the size of the window, sometimes I can get this block to slide down, and I can see another line or two that was originally hidden...
Has anyone had issues like this? The site works perfect in chrome, ff, IE10 and 11, several Linux browsers, opera, safari, from macs, pcs, and Linux boxes. everything except this old IE 9.
HELP?
Just a little hack fix I found, if anyone comes across this question looking for similar answers... I created a new css file implemented when IE9 browsers are detected, and I extended the min-height for the content of pages until every page displayed... the drawback is that on those longer pages, if the content isn't expanded, the footer still lies several scrolls down... but this only happens on the very content-lengthy pages, so while it isn't ideal, I guess it's good enough, if someone's ok with using outdated browser technology :/

The website I'm developing suddenly stopped working properly. The images on my Homepage appear sliced and in weird places (however when inspecting source and hovering over certain elements, the highlighted content seems to be in the right place), some hover on effects don't work and some text doesn't render.
Everything works properly in all other browsers except for Google Chrome. I cannot think of any other thing I've updated in the source code than executing svginjection plugin.
I uploaded my backed up files that used to work before, but the problem still occurs. It doesn't show up on every single computer, just on some (and I've checked it on multiple machines, both - Mac and Windows).
Just to clarify, I did clear the cache, I did check in the Incognito mode, I did restart my computer. None of these helped. I'm also 80% sure that problem only occurs on computers, on which this website was previously opened (the pattern I noticed after making around 10 tests at work).
Thanks for any help
Aight, so after going through all my files, trying to disable multiple options, etc... Everything is fixed now. If you do have similar problem, go through your css files and disable all webkit powered transforms and transitions, cause apparently enough is enough and if you have too many, Chrome just won't handle it. I managed to still reuse some of them, so... Must have caused some glitch in the matrix and that's why it all got messed up. For weirdly positioned images check z-index of parent container.
I am developing website and have a strange bug that appears only on Chrome. I have a latest Chrome version and as I googled it seems to be old bug on older versions of Chrome(v18 - v20). Basically what happens: browser loads page, but on the bottom of the screen I have white spaces/rectangles instead of content or footer. Once I hover it - the rest of the content is loaded. Any ideas, links or solutions would be great.
I tried to work with this around with setting height to auto, but this didn't help. Also tried to load page in incognito to make sure it is not caused by any of the extensions I use, but this as well had no affect in resolving the issue.
Another solution that I think of is to set interval to re-trigger CSS in some milliseconds the page is loaded, but this is not the best solution and there should definitely be some other, more optimal, way to solve this.
P.S.:
All other browsers work like a charm.
Thanks in advance for the help.
In my case issue was with fade-in animation set on whole content. As website owner decided to skip the animation to save time. No further digging was done.
For some reason, black boxes are displaying in random spaces in Chrome (latest build).
Some of these boxes are appearing outside of the main container, whereas some are appearing inline, covering content blocks. They appear randomly, usually after scrolling, and will often disappear when opening the inspector, hovering over elements, or scrolling down and back up.
For reference, there are some animations, box-shadows (which have been disabled with no luck), linear gradients, and position: fixed elements on the page, although this is not an issue with browsers other than Chrome.
This has been widely reported in user testing, although I have not been able to conjure up a fix. I am not sure if it is a CPU or graphics card issue, as the site is relatively lightweight and I am browsing with a new laptop with 16gb ram. My old Mac Mini, with 4gb of ram, does not produce this issue.
Any pointers would be most appreciated.
Update: This was a bug in Chrome and was fixed: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=142038
eddz filed the issue at crbug.com/new and over 40 people starred the ticket to follow along. It led to a few separate fixes in Chrome by the engineering team.
I had this issue with a website that was using transformZ (0) to force GPU rendering. When I removed this style the issue disappeared
This isn't an answer, but if you are able to somehow reproduce it maybe later on down the road:
Make a copy of the page locally, or anywhere, set the base href to the main domain, now start removing css links and js scripts from the bottom to the top until you don't experience the behaviour anymore, if you get to that point then the last script/stylesheet you removed is the culprit.
If you find the culprit file, now try finding the culprit line/section.
If you don't get to that point, it may be the browser, but it doesn't sound like it is.
It may also be linked between scripts/stylesheets and/or accidentally inherited.
We had experienced this weird blocks too on our website. In past we was using transitions, transitions was reproducing another bug "weird lines" randomly appeared on page and dissapear during scroll.
Now we start using transformX-Y, may be in some places Z too. And we have got this hell bloack blocks.
It seems something wrong in Chrome with transfom + transition animations. May be this bug appear when too much blocks animated at one time?
FF works fine.
I encountered these same boxes. For me, the problem was that I was using mp4 videos, which are deprecated in chrome, instead of webm videos.
I think is related to the GPU I had the same issue on my website. And it stopped happening when I turned on the Metal Rendering flag.
My website renders back bgs randomly while scrolling. It is really heavy on videos and animations and looks like chrome has so little GPU available that graphic intensive website doesn't work correctly on blink. I noticed that when chrome used webkit those issues didn't happen.
I this is a blink render issue.
I want to test my html page visually in every browser like chrome FF and IE, like the position of all the elements and padding and margin in the page is correct or not.
Now what I am doing is I open the page in two browsers and I cascade the two browsers side by side and I compared it with my eyes.
Now my question is : is there any tool or plugin available to test the page by overlapping the page in IE with the same page in chrome or FF so that I can find any difference in visual representation of the elements, so that I could correct it.
Just like screen shot comparison (in screenshot comparison I can't compare the entire page and moreover I can't overlap one screenshot images one over another)?
This is the wrong way to go about it. Attempting to get each browser to match pixel-for-pixel is a futile endeavor and only leads to frustration, code bloat, and wasted effort.
Design for the valid browsers (typically the Webkit ones and Firefox). Then fix, as needed for the others. But don't try to get things to mesh pixel for pixel.
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.
