I'm setting up an online form where to choose boxes and stuff.
I almost finished the whole thing when I said to my self "Let's try it in IE".
This is the result I want and what comes up in Google Chrome:
And this is what happens in IE:
And this is the CSS and HTML for that part:
HTML
<div id="choosen"><img src="img.jpg" class="center-img" /></div>
CSS
img.center-img{
margin-top:15px;
position:relative;
width: <?php echo $width; ?>px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-<?php echo $width/2; ?>px;
}
Basically the image is centered into the div as this page I'm writing will be included into another one which I never saw and someone else will do it.
EDITED
Here is the link
How about changing the CSS to
img.center-img{
margin:15px auto 0;
display:block;
}
Try using css hacks. Here is a link with some on:

Without a proper doctype, you are in 'quirks mode'. Add this to your very first line with nothing else in front of it: <!DOCTYPE html> . That will take you out of quirks and put you into standards mode, especially with regard to Internet Explorer. Then let's see where we stand.
A doctype is required of all new web pages. The one I show is the newest one and puts all browsers into standards mode where you want to be. Quirks uses a broken box model from the 1990s and you never want to be there.

I need some help. While I was working on a project in Chrome, I wanted to test it in Firefox and was puzzled as to why it looked so different.
Can anyone explain to me why the green div containing the image doesn't adjust its width relative to the child? Is it a bug? Is it a feature? Is it a bugfeature?
Research
It works, as I expect in Chrome, where it looks like this:
But in Firefox, there is a lot of weird white space (this is the same image as the first):
Also, here is a screenshot of the following browsers (starting from the left) Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer 11:
As you can see, it works like I expect in Opera, but not in FF and IE11. It doesn't work in Edge either.
My findings
It looks to me like Firefox forgets to recalculate the parent's width after the image has been resized.
Here is a screenshot without height constraints (100% of the parents 200px height):
If I readd the height constraint, it looks like this:
As you can see, the width is the same. Note that the green div's width is 510px. That is the the same as the image (500px) + the padding (5px + 5px).
The code
I tried to add a jsFiddle, for your convenience, but curiously, I were not able to reproduce the error there (it worked as it was supposed to).
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style>
.wrapper {
height: 200px;
}
.div1 {
float: left;
background-color: green;
}
.div1 img {
height: 100%;
padding: 5px;
}
.div2 {
background-color: blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="div1">
<img src="http://placehold.it/500x500">
</div>
<div class="div2">
<h1>Heading</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I'll answer my own question in hope of helping someone else
TLDR:
I was missing the HTML5 doctype declaration, which looks like this: <!DOCTYPE html>.
Longer version:
While writing this question, it suddenly struck me that it could be caused by the lack of a doctype declaration. A quick test confirmed my suspicion. All I was missing was the <!DOCTYPE html> declaration!
It's safe to say that I'll update my snippet to include a doctype. I used Visual Studio's doc snippet and never gave it another thought. Note that the html snippet already includes a doctype. (In VS: If you type html or doc and hit tab in an HTML document, a quick HTML template will appear)
Why
Without a doctype declaration, the browser renders the page as best it can, in the so called quirks mode. In quirks mode the browser has to guess how the page is supposed to look with primary focus on backwards compabillity. Therefor the result naturally deviates from newer specifications.
The doctypes was invented to differentiate legacy sites from those using newer specs back when IE and Netscape was a thing. You can read more about it on MDN here:
Doctype
Quirks mode
Nice to know:
Make sure you put the DOCTYPE right at the beginning of your HTML document. Anything before the DOCTYPE, like a comment or an XML declaration will trigger quirks mode in Internet Explorer 9 and older.
-MDN
In HTML5, the only purpose of the DOCTYPE is to activate full standards mode.
-MDN
How to see which mode is being used
On Windows, click alt to bring up the good old toolbar, then go to Tools ➡ Page info
I've got html+css code running and looking good on explorer 10.
When i open the page in chrome the only differnce is the resolution.
Things (like headlines for examp.) that take 100% of the screen in explorer takes something like 75%-80% in chrome.
That causes white spaces to apper on the remaining 20%-25%.
is there any solution that doesn't require massive modifications in the code?
thanks.
*any code will demonsrate the issue, for examp:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div >
This takes all the screen in explorer 10 but not in chrome.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
</div>
</body>
</html>
Use a "reset" CSS file. Here are some of the more popular ones: http://www.cssreset.com/
The problem here is that the "user agent stylesheet" is different between browsers, so a reset stylesheet will impose specific styles, thus making all browsers look approximately the same.
That problem is because you are not providing any CSS code to the file!
When there is nothing to process, the browser adds its own style. Which are known as "User-agent stylesheet". Which have their own styling techniques.
To minimize this, you can add just a few of the codes such as:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
This way, you can minimize the browser's override to control and change the auto margin and auto padding techniques!
In Google Chrome, if you just create a simple file like the one you have. And run it after saving it, you will find that browser automatically adds
margin: 8px;
And some of the other styles to the document on its own! That is because of the browser's CSS sheet.
I am not sure if this is an issue with the Blogger template that I'm hacking up, or if I'm just forgetting a simple CSS property.
I'm working on a template for a friend, and am attempting to show the logo on the top right above the menubar div, and it works just fine in Firefox and Chrome, however it renders behind the div in IE9.
Here is the link to the demo:
Demo blog
Essentially, what I've done is created an absolutely positioned div, with an inside image:
<div id="logo2">
<a href="">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lpZjzviYzAo/T7mNUvXY6QI/AAAAAAAAAcM/XwQS-bO0Hy4/s1600/lovek-hdr.png">
</a>
</div>
and the associated CSS:
#logo2 {
position:absolute;
top: -25px;
right: -50px;
z-index: 999;
}
I'd thought that the combination of an absolute position, plus the high Z-index would overcome any issues with IE's handling of the z-index, however I was wrong.
I've also tried adding in a position (relative) and z-index (1) for the menubar div, to no avail.
Per #Dubious' suggestion, I added the following without success (the image is still clipped):
.tabs-outer, .tabs-inner {
<!-- [if ie 9]>
z-index: -1;
<![endif]>
position: relative;
}
Old Answer "Try adding a z-index of -1 instead of 1 to your menubar div"
Edit:
Okay, after doing some fiddling around in IE9 Developer Tools I noticed that your source code was telling IE to render the page in Document Mode: IE7 Standards. As you can see, after opening dev tools (and making sure the dev tools frame is active) you can press alt + 9 to render the css as it should be rendered in IE9. After this occurs, the content displays just as it should in any current browser.
So why is the page loading with IE7 Document Standards? Well you need to use correct standards-compliant !DOCTYPE directives for each of your pages. To do this just read up on this page and make sure that your html files follow the very first example.
Conditional Comments
I should have given you a better example of IE conditional comments, so I will go a little more in depth here. An IE conditional comment can ONLY be defined in html as it uses <!--> which is html specific code. Therefore, in order to add ie7/ie9/ie specific css you would need to <link> a new stylesheet inside the comment field that would have ie specific code. Further reading here. Also note, that since this issue you are experiencing is because the page is rendering IE7 quirks mode css, you might need to use an ie7 comment as opposed to ie9.
I really hope this solves your problem, good luck!
I have this really weird problem with Zend Framework and the view on all IE's
I'm using the HTML/CSS template for the sticky footer, where the page is also centralised in the middle of the screen. I used the same template before applying the design on the code on Zend and all browsers worked perfectly fine. Now when I applied the design on the code, all browsers are still working fine except of IE (7,8,9) ! The page isn't centralised any more, and some elements aren't taking their CSS classes. I copied the exact same code I used before moving the code to Zend (which was working on IE) and pasted it into Zend and I still had the same problem. I even created a div and tried to centralise it using the following CSS code:
#container{
position:absolute;
width:960px;
height:200px;
left:50%;
top:0;
margin-left:-480px;
}
and still, it wasn't centralised on any of the IE browsers ...
Could anyone please try and help me figure out what exactly is going on??
Many thanks in advance !
Did you try : text-align:center;
Another way to center content is to do so :
#container{
width:960px;
height:200px;
position: absolute;
margin 0 auto;
text-align:center;
}

Hello again everyone ... I'm not sure if I'm supposed to apologise for the question or not, but after a really long time of research and many tries to fix the issue I had either by changing the HTML code or CSS, the solution was really easy (or maybe I was stupid I didn't pay attention for it). All I had to do was change the doctype of the document, once I added
< !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> all the CSS bugs was fixed, the page was centralised and it worked perfectly fine.
Regards
Hello Everyone and Good Morning,
I am working with the page:
http://702wedding.com/live/
And it works in ALL my browsers Execpt IE. I dont have IE so I am kinda flying in the dark as far as fixing it. My boss is saying something about the iframe border showing in IE and w/e else any of you IE'ers can see. Also the font on the index page BEHIND the modal is showing tiny font.
I am on a mac and desprately need a way to see IE in the future, BUT can anyone help me fix this this morning?
Problems:
iFrame Showing in IE
Tiny Font behing Modal in Index Page.
Thank You all very much, as always.
^_^
I see the frame border in IE7. Try setting border: 0 and background: transparent in your styles for the iframe. Then add allowtransparency="true" as an attribute to the iframe.
Instead of border:none, try setting the border to an explicit value:
style="border:0px solid #fff; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:21px;"
Also, try setting the display selector to block.
I have this style on an iFrame, and the border does not display in IE:
style="border:0px solid #FFF; display:block; left:0; top:0px; height:100%; width:100%;
Also, you have an extra comment in your Javascript, causing an error:
$(".example5").colorbox({innerWidth:686, innerHeight:624 ->,<- }
If you don't have any browser try https://browserlab.adobe.com/en-us/index.html.
you can get a preview of your link in set of defined browser (almost all ).
set your border="0" and frameborder="0" on the iframetag
The page is at least functional in IE6:
Note that the nav at the top of that dialog is broken. IE6 doesn't listen when you tell it a frame has no CSS "border" - you have to explicitly tell it it has no frameborder, so use border="0" frameborder="0" on the iframe tag.
Behind the modal dialog, the text isn't "tiny" - in fact, it's rendered similar to how FF renders it (though, it's IE6, so the text is hard to read/aliased, of course)
And, for future reference, you can use BrowserShots to get screenshots of the page in a variety of different browsers/versions, including IE[4-9], last time I checked.
Otherwise, you could look into IEs4Linux which'll let you run IE6 and 7 on Linux, provided you have a valid Windows license.
