I need to print a page in IE8, IE9, and Chrome. It prints perfectly in Chrome, no so well in IE8 (have not tested IE9 yet).
The 3 major problems I'm facing with IE right now are:
Checkbox and radio button width is messed up and it has a border
Extra padding throughout the form, especially between label and field
Internal table borders do not show up, and the first column should be hidden
See the screenshots below. Why is this happening? I can't seem to fix it, I've tried changing the css several times. I know it is reading the CSS though.
Checkbox:
Extra padding everywhere:
No internal table borders:
UPDATE:
The form shows up correctly (table borders shown, padding correct, etc.) in both Chrome and IE. It prints correctly in Chrome. It does not print correctly in IE.
Please do not tell me to print the form another way. I've made a design decision to print it from the browser: it's what's best for my project.
1: You probably have something like
input {border: ...; width: ...}
which affects your checkboxes and radios. At least in Internet Explorer. You can fix this either by using
input[type=radio], input[type=checkbox] {alternating styles}
or by assigning specific classes:
input.radio, input.checkbox {alternating styles}
2: The padding you might get rid of by giving both the input-forms and the label right next to it
text-align: vertical
3: To solve the borders you should provide the CSS for that ;)
I added a simple table with borders to the page to test if IE not displaying table borders, or if my css was some how overridden. When that worked, I realized my table was being selected somewhere else by it's ID (and having it's borders removed). When I tried to add in the borders for printing, I was selecting the table by it's class name not ID.
I also realized the jquery.jqprint plugin was not including the doctype in the iframe it was printing. Now, it prints perfectly in IE8.

This this the current design of my report:
When I run it on different browser except for Chrome, it's looks almost ok (I have no idea why the HTML render is different from the expected result):
But in Chrome, it's a different story. Tiny boxes appear out of nowhere. How do I get rid of it?:
It seems that the boxes are generated upon loading the page. It creates a gif image named "Blank.gif" here is the complete code when I entered 'Inspect Element':
<img src="/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?Culture=1033&CultureOverrides=True&UICulture=1033&UICultureOverrides=True&ReportStack=1&ControlID=712a96453ecc4eb89b71439a5477d6c6&Mode=true&OpType=ReportImage&ResourceStreamID=Blank.gif"/>
I solved it by just creating a CSS style that finds img elements in the body that matches the source of that image element with "Blank.gif" and then hides it.
Here is my solution:
<style>
body:nth-of-type(1) img[src*="Blank.gif"]
{
display: none;
}
</style>
I had the same problem. I'd used lines in the report to create custom-shaped tables. Those lines were the problem.
I created my own table using rectangles instead of lines. And there are no more empty images.
I am trying to provide custom styling to HTML5-validated form. I was able to override the messages and tweak the form, however, I am unable to get rid of red border around invalid elements in IE11.
Chrome behaves as I like, without any borders, however IE11 and Firefox shows the red around the field.
I've tried adding following:
input:required {...}
input:valid {...}
input:invalid {...}
But was not successful - I could only add additional border, not override/remove the original one. I can also see that they have a different mode of operation - the red border I am trying to get rid of gets applied in IE only after I press the submit button. The form starts with the lime border only, when I just press submit, then also red border gets added. Putting right data in removes both borders instantly (this is in IE11). Firefox, on the other hand, starts with both red and lime borders applied.
Full example: http://jsfiddle.net/zbyzhbdm/5/
Is there any way to remove the red border / set it to different colour? I would really like to use the native HTML5 validation without resorting to my own validation script.
Update: Firefox can be persuaded to remove the border with following override:
input:invalid {
box-shadow: none !important;
}
(full details at http://jsfiddle.net/zbyzhbdm/7/)
IE still to go and figure out.
Try the css property outline instead of border.
First of all, I've been searching for an answer in Google and forums, but didn't find, sorry if it has been asked before and if you can link me to an answer it would be great.
Here's my problem: I have a web calculator made of a table with buttons inside. Here's a link. If you open it with IE it will be all messed up, so don't. I'll work on it later. On FF the rowspaned buttons do not stretch up and down to cover the hole cell, on Chrome it looks as intended. How do I make it look good on FF too? thx in advance to responders.
Using a <table> for layout is a bad idea for numerous reasons that don't need to be re-hashed here. What matters for you is that FireFox displays tables differently than other browsers and you are going to have a hard time laying out your buttons as you want them with that approach.
Instead, just ditch the table and absolutely position the buttons, or float them.
Edit: A floated layout works nicely:

JSFiddle's frame messes up the display if you view it in chrome, but if you view it in chrome outside of the frame, you can see it works fine in chrome as well: http://fiddle.jshell.net/gilly3/7rL97/5/show/
#yekhezkel gilly3 is probably right. but i found solution to your problem. It works in firefox and chrome. I have not tested in IE.
step1: add a class of fix to all the td's containing rowspan=2. It should look something like this.
<td rowspan="2" class="fix">
<button onclick="modifyInout('+')">+</button>
</td>
Step2: add the following css for fix class
.fix {
height: 70px; /* double the value of td height you specified earlier */
}
Let me know if it helps.
Here is the jsFiddle: (open in firefox or other browser to test it.)

Read this and try to add padding
padding: 18px 6px;
Padding will stretch your button
One of my sites has a horizontal navigation bar which is created using a list. Besides a small bug in Firefox the list looks & works fine by now - except in Opera 11.61. There the list elements won't show up at all! As the list is the site's main navigation it is nested inside a nav element. So far my debugging showed that this is where the problem is.
When I remove any background information (like background-image or background-color) from the nav element the list is still invisible - I can see the body's background-color.
Also assigning different z-index values did nothing. But removing the nav element helps - when there is no nav the list shows up.
I created a small test case illustrating the problem (remember: Must be opened with Opera.): http://jsfiddle.net/sX5KF/
Do you have any clue why this problem occurs? Is there a fault in my code or is this just something like a bug in Opera? What can I do about it?
Alright I found the mistake. Opera displays nothing because I set content: ""; on the after-element. Other browsers seem to ignore it, but not Opera. I set it because I read it is needed, but actually it works even without content: "";.
For some reason my checkboxes and dropdown arrows are not visible in chrome, however, they still work.
They are perfectly visible in IE. When I load the page in IE, then try loading the page in chrome, they usually appear until I refresh the page again in chrome.
Anyone know what the problem might be?

A 'solution' to this Chrome problem is to
open Task Manager
refresh the page in Chrome while the Taks Manager is open in front of the browser.
I couldn't believe this would actually work when I read about it, but I've seen it with my very eyes. This issue apparently exists since the early versions of Chrome and still exists in current versions, though it only occasionally occurs. It seems to be permanently gone after this 'fix'.
In webkit browsers the following code will remove dropdown arrows.
select{
-webkit-appearance:none;
}
Checking in your browsers inspector will indicate if it's being applied in your case or not.
Found this question while having the same problem.
Setting:
input {
width:100%
}
was the cause of the problem for me. This:
input[text] {
width:100%
}
was what I wanted (leave checkbox widths unchanged) -- setting the width of checkboxes in chrome seems to make them disappear.
As user48956 mentioned; setting input width to 100% causes checkboxes to vanish in chrome.
I use bootstrap and often have forms where I want all inputs to stretch 100% and don't want to use bootstraps form methods and this issue still comes up.
If you have defined input {width:100%} you can put a width on the div containing the checkbox and it will fix. e.g.
<div style="display:inline-block; width:20px"><input type="checkbox" name="read_privacy_policy" id="read_privacy_policy" class="pull-left"></div>
<div style="display:inline-block">I have read and understand the Privacy Policy.*</div>
or you can set style="width:auto" on the input itself
I had the same issue
Try this css style supression all style that acts in the input checkbox element.
-webkit-appearance: checkbox!important;
I think it's a bug and it's still there. I use checkboxes in a ligthbox window and they don't show. I'm on OS-X using Chrome 21.
