When designing my site i noticed that under dark backgrounds all of the images I used as sprites turn out like this:
I have tried multiple versions on PNGs and GIFs. IT works fine under firefox.
However, if i do not use sprites the image displays as:
This is the same exact image just without any positioning tags.
Can anyone help?
I fixed it. The issue was my cache needed to be cleared!

I have converted a badge/image from PNG to SVG in order to be able to re-use the asset in various sizes etc.
The problem is that depending on the specific webpage i'm embedding the SVG on, it either looks super crisp (as intended) or looks bad with some sort of anti-aliasing gone horribly wrong.
Even on the pages where the SVG looks crisp after load, I only have to scroll the page a bit until it looks horrible as well.
Please look at the screenshots below to see the exact difference on the BADGE (SVG):
It seems the browser only messes with the SVG right where the SVG meets the image behind it. The SVG is only slightly transparent in the gray center, so that should not be the cause of it.
I have tested in Chrome, Edge, Safari which all do the same thing.
Does anybody know what might be the cause of this?
I found a fix to what clearly seems to be a somehow undiscovered big bug in all modern browsers in regards to handling SVG through CSS as a background on an element overlapping another element with background/image.
The fix for my case was simply adding a background-color to the element. Since the element is completely round I can simply make a border-radius as well, so the background will never appear.
If the element however was not a complete round circle, this would not be a workable fix.
It looks perfect in chrome and firefox, but the scaling in IE and Edge is terrible. The size is good but the image looks sharper, the actual image is 2 times bigger than the background size. Is there a way to fix it, I've tried several things I found on stackoverflow but nothing seems to work.
The problem is your relying on the browser to resize your images. Browsers have notoriously poor rendering when scaling images. You should use a specific size and pre-format them in a graphic package beforehand.
I would also consider using an SVG for what you are trying to achieve (I assume the scaled down image is so that on different resolutions, things still look good?) I would seriously consider the flexibility it would give you.
Was using Photoshop's Quick Export to PNG with a 250x59px grayscale image. Chrome vs Safari vs Firefox comparison (ok nevermind about Firefox it's whack):
Tried searching the chromium groups for anything similar but didn't find anything specifically like this. Anyone know what's going on? Only seems to happen on smaller sized images, this same image not scaled down from 2000+ px does not show the same inner glow-y stuff.

I am trying to make a website with a video background using HTML5's video tag. I also tried using a jQuery plugin (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/videoBG). I got the video to load and work properly, but every time it makes other content appear grainy/pixelated. Is there anyway to place items on top of the video background and not have them appear grainy / pixelated?
You can see the pages I've created. The code is fairly simple, so I won't include it here.

You'll notice that the logo and text look different from page to page, but they are using the save CSS rules. Thank you in advance!
Cheers,

This seems to be a known issue with Chrome. I tried the same two pages in Firefox (5.0), IE (9), and Opera (10), and I couldn't tell the difference in the rendering.
EDIT: I also tried the two pages in Safari (5.0.1/Windows), and the rendering looks even worse there. So, perhaps it's a webkit issue.
A part the Chrome bug, your logo image is bigger than it appears, and is scaled down via CSS.
Using a correctly sized image would remove any logo issue.
The text below renders fine in both version BTW (chrome 14.0.797.0 m)
I've built a website for someone, but according to him, scrolling is very very choppy on the website in IE7 on his computer. On my computer I don't have any problems with scrolling (in any browser), i've already tried some things, but according to him scrolling still is very choppy. So I was wondering if someone has some suggestions for me? I think the main problem is the full width background image, but i'm not entirely sure.
The website is:
www.casalagodilugano.nl
The website is in dutch, but for this question that doesn't have to matter
edit:
Tx for the helpful answers. In the end, it was indeed the background image which caused problems in IE7. By accident I found a way to work around this problem: I set the image as the background image, centered the image, and using css3 I made sure the was stretched the way it should.
I had a problem similar to this. It turned out to be because my computer was full and my performance suffered. Viewing the issue on my new machine (also had IE7) produced no choppy scrolling. I fear your client has the same problem, perhaps suggest it's his computer and not your website?
Edit:
Many things affect the processing on a website, I'd suggest it has to do with your background image. The sand has quite a "repeatable" texture so perhaps you should Photoshop it down so it's a much smaller image and just use 'background-repeat' in your CSS to achieve a similar effect. Your background image is also around 200% of what it displays on the website, I copied the URL of the image and viewed it by itself and it's HUGE! The emphasis here is on image file size, because IE is having trouble shifting the image down when you scroll. It's not a very good browser to be fair. I've also noticed that your large header image is larger in actual size, suggesting that the size is reduced by your code. Try reducing this image size to the size you want to display it
Edit pt 2
I've stumbled upon a script that for some reason waits 5 seconds before running and that is the Google maps API. I respect that you need this for the Routes page but if I were you, on any page where there is no map, remove any mention of the google maps api from the source code.
I have found that IE gets choppy when you have an <input> tag without a border or background specified ... very strange IE "bug" but i've fixed choppy scrolling on sites/pages by just adding a border to the <input> tags.
