Here's my deal:
The boss asked me to fix a page not displaying properly in IE7.
I'm working with a div tag initially set as:
<div id="login_content" style="left: 0px; text-align: center;">
And so it is rendered in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE9. The issue comes in IE7--somehow the div is cut off when IE7 automagically decides to set the inline style with a height of 8px.
There are no scripts that modify this (as I said, it doesn't get touched in other modern browsers) and upon inspection with IE9 developer tools, it's not inherited from a style sheet. Does anyone know what might cause this behavior?
If it's running through an external script it's probably an inline style in that. If you post a link we can use inspection tools.
You can use the conditional <!--[if IE7] code to fix it [endif]--> to just change how it renders on IE7.

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!
Just finishing up a site and having an issue with position: fixed on IE7. I've Googled it and tried different Doctypes but the fixed area is still moving out of position on IE7.
I've not got IE7 but a client staffer has it and I can see the issue using an online IE renderer/tester.
I've removed the .htaccess from the test site so you can see the site/code.

Any advise or help would be appreciated.
There is a <div> and an <ul> element which both have id="logo-nav". They've both set position:fixed and some other properties. I think this is the main problem. Remove the duplicate ID, set position:fixed only for the <div> element and then we can investigate the issue (or the problem should disappear at best).
If you have newer version of Internet Explorer, you may emulate IE7 by clicking the Compatibility View button or choosing IE7 document mode in Developer Tools.
edit: I noticed that you haven't set any left property for #logo-nav. I don't know why IE7 computes the default position other way than all other browsers, but simply adding #logo-nav { left: 225px } works for me.
Try this in your css:
* html idorclasshere {
position: absolute;
}
Note: replace "idorclasshere" with your, well, ID or Class of the non-responding div (don't worry, due to the asterisk, other browsers aside from IE won't see it, add it in conjunction to your "position:fixed" style).
And in my html editor looks just fine:
alt text http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7348/bien.png
But when i see it on the browser (Chrome & Firefox) looks like this:
alt text http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/642/malhh.png
Im very new to layout with tag, any idea of what im making worng?
put "margin: auto;" in the style of div contenido and usuario. Then add padding-top: 58px; in div usuario (as you are trying to put that div 58px lower.)
Oh! of course remove those margin-top styles from every where and use padding style instead.
What's wrong? You're relying on the rendering engine of your HTML editor and you shouldn't.
Only use a recent version of Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Opera for testing (edit: I forgot IE8 and I shouldn't have; it's support of CSS2.1 is good. It just lacks dozens of extensions but that's another story), then the other browsers including IE and forget your not-so-awesome rendering tool.
I believe your specific issue is being caused by the lack of trailing semicolons at the end of your style properties. That will often cause bad rendering.
margin-top: 1px" >
should be
margin-top: 1px;" >
Also, you should definitely take the advice of #Christian Mann and put the CSS in the of your document or, even better, in an external stylesheet. Inline CSS styles should be avoided.
I've run into a weird quirk. The website I'm building for Escondido Arts Gallery has all of it's text in each element left-aligned in firefox and IE, but for some reason everything is center aligned in Safari. Is there one simple css or html fix I can do to fix this, or am I going to have to 'text-align: left' every element?
No surprise there:
<body tracingsrc="../../non assets/web2.jpg" tracingopacity="30" align="center">
Just get rid of the proprietary attributes (align="center" especially), and your problem is solved.
There is something wrong with the CSS (or there's an unclosed html tag). The center align property must be cascading from some other element because it's not only safari/chrome (which also uses webkit) but also opera that shows the things center aligned, and both safari/chrome and opera are more standards compliant than ie and even firefox.
* { text-align: left; }
If things are cascading properly this should conceptually be enough:
html, body { text-align: left; }
Depends on why it is left-aligned. If it's simply the browsers applying different defaults, you can do as greyfade says to make all tags default to left-align in all browsers.
If the problem is bugs in the browsers CSS implementations, then you may have to trace down why the browsers disagree, and find some workaround to that.
Specifying a strict rather than transitional doctype may also help in getting more uniform behavior from the browsers (and let's be honest here, can we really claim to still be "transitioning" to HTML4.01 or XHTML1.0? Both standards have been out for close to a decade.)
