I'm creating a website and have a problem with the way it displays in different browsers. I'm testing using Chrome, iOS and IE8. The site displays correctly in the first two, but not so in IE.
The website in question is http://www.edalemill.co.uk/
Can anyone help point out what's wrong with my CSS to solve the problem?
Thanks!
I have taken a look and can replicate the issue.
I would suggest removing the
overflow:auto; from the #stripper
You have also used body more then once as well in your CSS, I would suggest having only one lot and tidying up your code.
Possibly consider using this as a base which should help you:

UPDATE
Otherwise for your code do the following for the CSS
#sidebar {
position:fixed;
}
I would recommend making that IE8 code only though
If you take out the height:100% on #container the background image fills up the rest of the text area for the about page.
Let me know if this helped.
Update
It might just be easier to have another CSS tag for the content areas that scroll. The height:100% works on those content areas that don't scroll, however, they break on those that do. My recommendation, even though it might not be the best way, is to either make a second CSS tag for the content areas that scroll, or just simply make the image bigger.

I try to fix the layout, because if you see this link from you mobile you can see that the whole right part goes off canvas for some pixels.
I tried setting a max-width:1280px; attribute but it didnt work. Does anyone an easy fix?
Maybe I should define a body max-width ?

In your page and films-list styles you are defining fixed with. These will never be 'squeezed'. If you want them to get smaller somahow you need to define them differently. There may be more places in your code where you are doing that. Fix that to fit.
after 3-4 hours of searching with IE's "dev tools", I can't understand why.
This code: https://tinker.io/b2c10 produces the layout correctly in IE7 mode, Chrome, Firefox. In IE8 Standards mode, here's the result when you make the viewport smaller:
And here is how the layout should be / is in all other browsers (IE7 included):
Needless to say I experimented with all including:
reducing the max-width of the img
removing the Who's Who part with the display:inline-block's
removing the image completely from the middle column...
It seems there was a problem in how Sharepoint was converting my source html making it not valid...
In a not so clean way you can start by setting min-width on the divs with that content. That will also help to keep it from overlapping as it scales down. Also I think you might want to switch to spans for the div width. I feel like I am preaching Scaffolding to a lot of people but it really does help keep things scaling nicely.
.ms-WPBody {padding:0;overflow:visible;min-width:190px;}

p wich is block by default, with div using float: right, padding instead of margin....not sure how this is working, you need to improve your css a bit dude. I sugest you review it all.
i have problems with IE8 :
http://immobilien.la-via.ch/
Website header is not on the right position.
If you open it in chrome or FF it works.
2nd problem: white area is not 960 width....
You need to properly contain your content inside your #nav div, you can do that by triggering the hasLayout effect on it, like so:
#nav {
zoom:1;
}
Are you aware that you mix table-design with div-based design? Just a recommendation: your layout can quite easily be designed with divs only (no tables). Cleaning your code up will help you a lot more than just fixing some issues that occur now in maybe IE8... have you seen your site in Safari/Chrome as well? And IE9+? Probably you should have a look, as you can see the consequences of your (sorry, it is not meant offensive, just nicely in order to help) messed up HTML code...
Also, don't apply a fixed height to a table/div if possible, as you probably want it to automatically adapt the height to the amount of text. You have some parts of your code where you use divs anyway already, just my recommendation would be to design the whole site on divs...
My website has a footer overlap in IE7, while fine in all later browsers.

I have to say that the site layout is a bit messy: container DIVs with smaller widths and heights than the contents, too many negative margings, and the like..
For instance, the DIV #cuber_div containing the flash banner, having an height set to 515px, is overlapping the text, so the upper part of text isn't selectable.
Besides, the #footer DIV is outside of the #wrapper DIV, so relative positioning in buggy browsers such as IE < 8 gets messed up.
My personal suggestion would be to fix the mark-up and re-style the whole site from scratch.
It may take time, but far less than keeping the site like that and having it to break up every once in a while for seemingly no reason, and then go figure..
It's up to you to decide.
I have problem with displaying adsense ads in ie7
google adsense adds an iframe to display ads with id google_ads_frame1 with position:absolute the problem is this absolute position makes the ad stay there even if the page size changes (in ajax)
so how can i force it to have position:relative, i tried wrapping it in div and applied every possible property like positions, display, wrapping the whole content in a table, floats, zoom, height & width.
i also tried adding a css below the adsense
<!--[if IE7 ]>
<style type="text/css">
#google_ads_frame1 {
position:relative;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
can anybody please help me, this thing has made me crazy...
the ads got unpositioned only when the page resized so everytime a function that cause change in size of the page i added one more javascript to it.
var googleAds = document.getElementById('googleAds');
googleAds.style.paddingTop= '1px';
googleAds.style.paddingTop= '0';
it you have better solution please let me know
you should be able to wrap the iframe with a div set with position:relative. are the elements on the page that change size with ajax set with position:absolute or floated as this may cause issues too.

I've had the same problem and I 'fixed' this by removing a 'background-color' on a wrapping div. Don't ask me why, this has to be the weirdest IE bug ever :)
The wrapping div encompasses almost everything on the page and is fairly unrelated to the table cell that contained the AdSense banner, I have absolutely no idea why this background-color had any effect on the positioning of the banner.
I found this 'solution' by just stripping the page bit by bit. At one point almost all HTML was gone but the problem still persisted. I the removed the CSS file after which the banner behaved normally. Then started stripping the full CSS until I found the line that (seems to) have caused the problem.
Making a proper test case of this is still somewhere on my list but haven't come around to doing that. Also pretty unsure that this is a generic solution. Main advise for now: If you see this problem, remove all CSS and see if that fixes the problem, if it does figure out what part of the CSS seems to be responsible and get rid of that :)
