The history auto fill sits on a random place on IE8.
While the same works fine on IE9, IE10, firefox and chrome.
here is a snapshot of the issue.
I have been searching for this from a long time.
Is there any solution for this?
I'd suggest right clicking the item, inspecting the element in your dev tools, finding what the id is of that autofill dropdown. See if there is some css attatched to that item. and then if necessary add some sort of CSS hack. below is a link to some tricks to target IE specifically. IE often requires little style hacks unfortunately. Hopefully the more they implement html5 standards the better this will become.

I have a HTML page where i have div to show help as shown in image above at bottom.
I also have combo box (select input) which is comming on top of this help div in IE 6.
For other browser and and IE6+ versions, it is working fine.
Is there any CSS hack for this issue for IE 6?
This is a very famous and old bug with IE6. What you need to do is to have an iframe before the div. This bug is quite well documented. It happens because in IE6 select boxes were ActiveX controls and were meant to be above all the elements of the page. iframe is also an ActiveX control and can be set above the select box. You can read up about the hack on this website http://www.javascriptjunkie.com/?p=5.
I am pretty sure a similar question has been asked around on SO as well but I couldn't find it.
There are well-documented CSS hacks for all the versions of IE.
For IE6, use the underscore hack -- put an underscore character at the front of the selector to target just IE6.
This page has full details: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/quick-tip-how-to-target-ie6-ie7-and-ie8-uniquely-with-4-characters/
As i know, by default IE6 will put above the other elements.
You could hide them (display: none) when this div.help is shown
Please check out this snippet of my site.

The logo is made up of the 'circle1' and other div tags in the same html sections. It doesn't show up on jsfiddle either and it looks different on every browser.
On chrome = shows all
On firefox = no logo shows and bottom text under input field is larger
On safari = no logo shows
What can I do?
This is called, umm... , welcome to wild wild world of web. Every browser vendor parses html/css/javascript differently. Some are lenient, some are strict. (Chrome Vs. Opera). Some have different Box model, some have standard operational behavior, some tend to do their own thing.(Opera Vs. IE6)
Answer to different renderings : You have to hunt down each and every little quirk. One by one.
Welcome.
You'll need to adjust your styles for older browsers if you plan on doing alot of css3 transforms.
IE 6, 7, and 8 just don't have the ability to read those styles.
Even on Firefox, depending on the version, you'll run into various spacing issues since the rendering engine is different than Chrome (and Safari).
For using html5 and css3 in older IEs you can (sparingly) use polyfills, which duplicate the effect using javascript. You can see a list of available polyfills here:
https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/HTML5-Cross-Browser-Polyfills
Quirksmode is a great resource for checking compatibility: http://www.quirksmode.org/compatibility.html
I would highly recommend the Firebug add-on for Firefox to see where the extra spacing, etc is happening.
When you run into a specific issue with a specific browser that you can't figure out post a question here. It's much easier to help with one bug than just general browser problems.
That's mostly because you are using code to work with one browser. Different browser uses different code renderer. It's hard to make everything look the same, even tho Internet explorer is the worst, other browsers have different features. Opera has most of the HTML5 form features, that no other browser supports so far, but Chrome and Firefox supports the most of the HTML5 attributes. Hope this helps understand the reason why.
i am making a menu for my school assignment and it needs to work in both IE and firefox.
I am done the menu and it works perfectly in firefox, but i am having trouble getting it to display properly in IE
A part can be found over here: http://tutudragon3.info/ie-trying.php
When i click the home image in firefox, a dropdown sort of thing pops-up with 2 images with text "d" and "d". In firefox, there is no space between those dropdown images, but when i try it in IE, I see a small blank space between them.
how could i fix this (delete that space) please. I tried many different things but it didn't work.
Using IE8 by the way.
Before worrying about any specific bugs:
Use a Doctype that triggers standards mode, as quirks mode inconsistencies are a nightmare to deal with. If in doubt, use HTML 4.01 Strict: http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html
Deal with machine detectable errors
If you have done the things David mentions, and still see some differences, you might want to take a look at ie7.js, it is a JavaScript library to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser.
I don't find any problem in IE7. But if you are having the problem, try giving display:block; to the <A> and <IMG> tags. The problem should vanish.
I have this strange issue with css hover, on chrome and safari (on opera and firefox it works just fine).
Here you can find a demo of the problem
http://cgi.di.uoa.gr/~grad1054/bug/
In chrome when the mouse is over the html area tag, it somehow misses that is continues to hover over the general div, and so the css rule for the hover is not applied.
Do you have any ideas or solutions?
Thx
The map and area tags, although not officially deprecated, are not widely used anymore. It is possible that this is a bug in the Webkit rendering engine. As far as I can see, Firefox's behavior should be correct. The solution should be rather simple - to use some other element for this.
Solution: http://jsfiddle.net/NZEXY/1/
In my solution, I used the ul list and anchors inside list items to recreate this effect, using essentially sprite techniques to recreate the same thing with the same image, and still accessible (if you're using maps your areas are suppose to have alt attributes for that purpose).
If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment.
I have a blog, www.realcanadianenglish.blogspot.com. I use Firefox to write it. Sometimes I check the blog using Internet Explorer. With the later it shows a gap between the picture and the text sometimes. Can I change the HTML code to fix this? Why is there a difference between the two: Explorer and Firefox?
Internet Explorer can have extra padding on some elements. I suggest you try to include a CSS Reset file first and then your own CSS file.
Here's a good Stackoverflow question about CSS Reset files
The blog looks fine on IE8. If you're having a problem with it, I would recommend running IE8 and using the debug tool provided (hit F12). You can dynamically change the HTML and CSS from right inside the browser. It's faster than uploading a new template every time you want to test a change.
You are refering to the IE Model Bug
In most cases the issue will be with IE and, in those cases, it's sometimes best, or at least convenient, to just serve IE a line or two to bring it into line with the other far more modern browsers with "conditional comments". These comments will be recognized only by IE but wind up allowing you to include styling or html that won't affect other browsers. They are easy to use but have a few variations based on which version of IE you are targeting. Here is the link explaining them all: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(VS.85).aspx
