the picture below describes my current problem. Is there a (css)way to achieve the "Good Browsers" behaviour (like FF) in IE8/9 without JavaScript/JQuery?
Found some old posts from 2008 / 2011, but without any possible solution.
(e.g. Thread1 Thread2 )
Thanks alot!
<!--[if IE]>
<style>
select{
width: 250px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
That code works only on IE browsers.
This is a good startingpoint. It doesn't work so well in the demo, but there are solutions in the final comments and the code looks fairly easy to improve upon: http://www.dougboude.com/blog/1/2008/05/Viewing-Option-Text-in-IE7-thats-Wider-than-the-Select-List.cfm

I have some a tag that are assigned to class like: class='user-home' and I'm using this css to achieve background image:
.user-options .user-home{
background-image:url('../../img/user-home.png');
background-position:center;
background-size: 14px 14px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
border: none;
}
And the problem- This is what I'm getting on chrome/mozila/ie11
This is what I'm getting on ie7
What will be the solution? Thanks.
The rule background-size is not supported on ie7. It is recommended to use small images (14X14) and not resize it with CSS rules, this way you're saving traffic and improving your page loading time.
There is a workaround (how-do-i-make-background-size-work-in-ie) but I still think it's better to just resize your image.
That's because background-size is a CSS3 property which isn't supported before IE9...
CSS background-size not working in IE7/8
Only solution i think is to edit image to 14px 14px
The browsers like IE7 do not support CSS3 properties. So you cannot use them otherwise you get these types of results.
You need to change the background-image CSS to this:
.user-options .user-home{
background-image:url('../../img/user-home.png');
background-position:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
border: none;
}
and now, edit the image resolutions and change its width and height to 14x14 yourself.
Or if you want to use the current CSS, please go to this website from Google:
https://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/
And from there, include the JS needed to make the IE behave like a standard browser, this is the code:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta4)/IE7.js">
</script>
<![endif]-->
This JS will enable almost many of the CSS and HTML attributes. This should be included in head element.
Are you sure it's IE7 not the compatibility view (IE6) anyway background-size wont work with IE7
A way of your question, Earlier I used to use DD_belatedPNG Javascript to fix PNG issues in IE6
you may use one of the following tools to fix all IE issues:
Normalize
ie7-js
respond.min.js
For other HTML5 fixes and Media Query I use excanvas.js and respond.js
Code could be as follows:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js"></script>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.3.0/respond.min.js"></script>

In a html page support these browsers Mozilla Firefox14, IE8, Safari5.1.1, Chrome19.
Since to support all these browsers I have to use css hacks in order to maintain the proper alignment of the elements on page.
Below is the css:
For Mozilla Firefox and IE8:
.dis_stats
{
position:absolute;
margin-top:-30px;
margin-left:-190px;
background:#E0E0E0;
width:141px;
height:80px;
_position:relative;
_margin-top:-460px;
_margin-left:115px;
}
For Safari & Chrome:
#media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
.dis_stats
{
position:absolute;
background:#E0E0E0;
margin-top:-30px;
margin-left:731px;
width:141;
height:80;
}
}
Now what is happening on Mozilla it is running perfectly. But on IE8 it is applying the properties defined for Safari & Chrome and if I remove any of the Safari & Chrome's property then it will pick the same from intended properties (i.e defined for IE8 & Mozilla).
I am not getting any clue why is this happening. Anyone please suggest what is wrong here?
I recommend trying to work out a version that complies with standards and doesn't need hacks.
But if you must hack, you can consider conditional comments specially for IE 8 with separate stylesheet that fixes its problems:
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<style type="text/css" src="path/to/ie-only-style.css">
<![endif]-->
This doesn't really explain what's wrong with IE, but can solve some IE-specific problems without using too much time (at cost of maintainability).
I am testing one of my web pages for compatibility in different browsers.
I had some issues with ie8 and so i added well known [if IE] block to the code. This is the code I added.
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
.ie-issue{
top:0;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
But it doesn't rendering in my ie8 and cannot think of a way to get it work. Please help me on getting this done.
If you can't get the conditional to work properly, this is a good work around: http://paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/
Try !important. I would also specify position:absolute in you [if IE]. Finally, remember, negative numbers work as well (top:-100px;).
Try margin-top instead of top.
A known old known problem is that various old browsers both IE 7 (perhaps also IE 8) and FireFox 3.0 ~ 3.6, are the experiencing of very SLOW scrolling down through a webpage whenever a background image img or div with an image has the position: fixed; property.
Having built a site with this feature I noticed that in IE 7 (maybe 8 too) that had a terribly sluggish scrolling experience ruing the good enjoyment of the entire website. All other JQuery effects were also not smooth anymore. Now, as soon as I commented the position: fixed; property of the background image div:img, everything becomes good again.
<html><head>
img#bg {
/* position:fixed;*/
top:0;
left:0;
height:auto;
min-height:100%; /* proportionally fit height (eg panorama images) */
width: 100%;
z-index:-2;
}
</head>
<body><img src="background.jpg" id="bg"/></body>
</html>
Q1: How to make that line conditional? Users with IE7 or IE8 /*position:fixed;*/ and users with IE9 or FF4 position:fixed
Q2: Could anything in my css have triggered the bug except position: fixed? for example should img#bg be written differently?
Some links: MozzilaZine, StackOverflow, LinDesk
Thanks very much for your suggestions and ideas on this browserbug. Much appreciated!
Q1: How to make that line conditional?
For IE older than version 9 there's always a conditional comment override:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<style>img#bg { position: absolute; }</style>
<![endif]-->
For Firefox, one way would be to find some hack that distinguishes version 4 from its predecessors, which I can't really think of right now.
Q2: Could anything in my css have triggered the bug except position: fixed?
That and the fact that it's an image. But mostly the fixed positioning. This also happens if you used a background image with background-attachment: fixed, and is a well-known performance issue on those browsers.
Q1: How to make that line conditional?
If you'd rather not to use conditional comments (per BoltClock's reply), a summary of browser-specific CSS hacks can be found on Paul Irish's site.
Q2: Could anything in my css have triggered the bug except position: fixed?
Short answer: Yes, but probably none as much as position: fixed. If removing it fixes your issue, it's your biggest problem.
Slightly longer answer: box-shadow has been shown to cause performance issues. So will IE's proprietary filters. Inefficient selectors are sometimes mentioned, but it's debatable whether they have a large effect.
To profile your code, use the CSS Stress Test bookmarklet to drill down on exactly which selectors are causing your browser trouble. It's great!
I did this layout here: http://www.2xfun.com/
It uses some css3 effects and stuff which are not supported in every browser, but if they dont work its fine.
The thing is that i really tried to keep the essentials working in old browsers.
I didnt use any negativ margins, which i know of make problems in IE 6 etc
But if i look at it in IE 6 the layout gets messy. The elements are completely garbled.
Where did I fail so terribly? I don't need an analysis of all my errors because i know its by far not perfect. But what positioning css directives are so wrong that they cause IE6 to mess everything up?
So my question is:
What properties or combination of properties do cause such legacy incompatibility
are there any good work arounds (css resets, javascript fixes) ?
addendum:
this is how the page looks like in ie6
and after Šime Vidas's javascript fix
and this is how it should look like and looks like in modern browsers
Everything that has position: absolute, put both top and left positions, not just top. Everything that has float AND margin, set to display: inline. That will at least fix many problems. I'd also recommend a reset styling, like Meyer's. Your code looks a bit underdefined for IE6, it's a picky one.
Put this on the page:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta4)/IE9.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
How does the page look in IE6 now?

Here we go..
Add a rule to this effect to your normal stylesheet - #neXib was correct:
.headcontainer, .headbar {
left:0
}
Without that, your site has problems even in IE7.
The above snippet, combined with adding this voodoo magic dust I created fixes the pressing IE6 issues:
<!--[if IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
.headbar-spacer {
width: 169px
}
.content div.right {
padding-right: 0
}
.content h2 {
margin: -30px 0 0 106px;
width: 535px;
padding: 0 0 12px 0
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
I commented out this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4c90156b67654829"></script>
It seemed to somehow make IE6 jump the white video container to the top of the window. So wrap that in a conditional comment if need be.
Your site looks like this with the above changes in IE6 (ignoring the low color depth of this image):
Much better!
Improvements you could make:
Try out DD_belatedPNG to fix your .png transparency issues.
Make an image version of the CSS gradient you have on .headbar. At the moment, IE8 does not have a gradient. IE has support for it's own special kind of gradient, you might consider providing those rules (-ms-filter/filter + gradient?).
Redundant point: fix Notice: Undefined index: jsfix in /home/2xfun/html/application/views/vanilla.php on line 13. Obviously you just put that in for testing. I recommend suppressing the PHP error by prefixing the line with #.
Kick IE6 in the face. Twice.
