The situation.
I have a site that has a menu strip with some links. On a desktop these links work as expected, on mobile firefox, great! However on webkit, safari and chrome, they don't seem to register when you touch them.
I used Adobe Edge to check it out, but it worked fine in that browser, which browser is that anyways, is that webkit based or other?
I also tried using js to debug, but no luck. I would try to to get an alert() if say the parent element, or the link element itself was touched, I can only seem to get them to register if I mash around a bit.
The site is built on Sitefinity, I have looked around and can't seem to find anything relating to this.
How might I be able to go about trying to figure out what the issue is here? It seems to me to be webkit related, correct me if I a wrong, as it happens on chrome and safari.
On Android devices, you can write messages via console.log('blah!') and read them using logcat. You shuold also see other javascript errors in there.

I am creating a small project and for the front end I chose to use Material Design BootStrap (with jQuery), since I like those designs more than the standard BootStrap. Until now everything had worked correctly, but I noticed a strange behavior with one element: the drop-down lists. When you click on a list, it is displayed, but then there is no way to close it again, that is, to do the show / hide function when there is a selection, or when you click somewhere. It just stays open. The only way to close it is to refresh the page. This happens to me even on the MDBootstrap page. (https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/jquery/navigation/navbar/).
Well, some additional data: So far I had done my tests using the latest version of Chrome. I found it strange that such elementary functionality did not work even on the website of its creators. Then I tried Firefox, the same problem. Today in the morning while working, I decided to open the MDBootstrap page on my work computer, and to my surprise the drop-down lists worked correctly! I also did the test on a MacBook with Chrome, entering the same page and it also worked. I even tried from a virtual machine, and in the Chrome of this VM the drop-down lists worked!
In summary, MDBootstrap drop-down lists do not work, so far, in Chrome or Firefox on my personal computer at home. It occurred to me that it could be the extensions of those browsers that were causing some conflict with that element, but I uninstalled and reinstalled both browsers, and the problem persists. I have tried incognito mode with these browsers and it does not work. I tried Internet Explorer and Vivaldi, and in these if the drop-down lists work. Everything is so confusing!
Well, it's my first query on StackOverflow. If you can think of any other possible solution, or why this problem arises, the suggestions will be well received.
So I developed a profile on a website of mine in Firefox (the website accepts HTML in profiles). I then opened it in Chrome and, while there's differences and Pros and Cons I notice to each, I'm not really bothered by anything except the fact that my audio player at the top is properly styled in Firefox, but not in Chrome.
It seems to me that the "height" CSS didn't take in Chrome for some reason, meanwhile it takes just fine in Firefox.
Any idea how to fix this issue? If not, at least help me to make it so that it'll display normally in Chrome, even if it has to be fat instead of the slim bar I wanted. At the very least I want it to be functioning and not obscured by the page, even if it's not exactly what I had envisioned.
I've tried several #media "hacks" to target only Chrome / webkit but they don't take either.
Profile in question located here (flash required). Sources are freely available in the sources tab. The CSS classname is .BGM.
Thanks.

You can see the problem - I want it to display correctly like it is in Firefox, not be crushed like it is in Chrome. I'd actually like to be able to style it further for Chrome - make it styled the same in Chrome as it is in Firefox - though I'm guessing that Chrome may just not be as flexible about this as Firefox is.
PS: Yes, insane that a site still runs on Flash over HTTP in 2018, and yes the profile designs on the site are all juvenile and edgy. It's a guilty pleasure of mine - and it's a nice little coding playground.
Change the height attribute within the .bgm class to something bigger, like 30.
If you're really attached to how the player looks on Firefox, you can also introduce some Chrome only margin to .bgm:
-webkit-margin-before: 12px;
If you want to make the Chrome player slimmer you will need to look into webkit masks, which requires an additional image file.
For some reason, on this page, in Chrome 17, CSS3 transitions aren't working the first 3 links in the footer/nav: http://jacob.bearce.me/index2.htm. The links are exactly the same, no added classes, and I went through step by step to figure out what it was, it's changing the HREF property that breaks them. For some strange reason, services.htm works, but projects.htm does not. I have absolutely no idea why.
UPDATE: Tested in Firefox, Opera and Safari it seems to be only a Chrome issue. It makes no sense. It's not even a webkit issue (unless Chrome's got a newer version than Safari).
Sorry if this response is slightly late, however, I'm currently on Google Chrome 16.0.912.63 beta-m and I have the exact same problem as you do. In fact, on your website, out of the 4 links below, it is only the home link that doesn't seem to be working too well with CSS3 transitions (on my side).
On a website I'm currently working on, the transitions seems to only work on some links and not others. I can't really see any trend to understand what causes it. Strangely though, when I visit your website or mine through Incognito, everything works well. It doesn't work even with my extensions disabled.
It looks to be bug with Chrome. I've figured out that it's definitely an issue with :visited links, but can't fix it no matter what. In incognito mode you don't see the issue because Chrome isn't logging what links you've visited. From what I've seen, it looks like it's an issue in Chrome 16 or higher. Hopefully they'll fix this in the next release, but for now, we'll just have to ignore it.
I've been trying to get CSS tooltips with iFrames working cross-browser, but Chrome has issues.
Here's a test page I put together: http://paulleduc.com/test.html
As you can see, it works as expected in FF and IE, with the tooltip popping up to the right of the word every time. In Chrome however, the tooltip pops up at the left of the screen most of the time, and only popping in the correct position when you hover over the words from 'left-to-right' it seems.
Any ideas to get this working in Chrome would be appreciated,
Thanks!
I don't know about the tooltip version you are using specifically. BUT, I use this one
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/popinfo.htm
and I have no problem with it working on chrome or FF, it has worked on every browser I have tested it on, it also comes with really good instructions.
And I am not sure if it is supposed to be this way, but when I hover over your links it just opens a small square and I can see the google homepage.
But seriously, the one that i posted above DHTML Tool Tips, works really well cross browser, let me know how it works out if you decide to use it.
Please make sure you are using the latest version of Chrome. I'm using Chrome 17.0.942.0 (Official Build 110446) dev-m and cannot reproduce the issue - the tooltips pop up immediately to the right of the links. However, their contents are empty due to the "Refused to display document because display forbidden by X-Frame-Options." error (which I believe is unrelated.)
I've ran into a snag I've been working on for a couple days and can't seem to come up with an answer online. The site template I'm working on now is located at "http://citylakersbaseball.org/2.0" - I've got a div named "sponsors" that shows up fine in Chrome and the built in Live View of Dreamweaver CS5 - however, in Firefox 3.6 & 4beta it completely vanishes. I can see it in the view source, yet firebug has it grayed out. Maybe it's a DOM issue? (for which I don't know much about). Rendering engine issue?
I ran the source (index,htm) and CSS (style.css/nav.css) through the HTML validator - HTML is fine, and the CSS didn't spit back anything I would think could effect the div's display, especially since Webkit has no issues with it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Your ad-blocking Firefox plugin is detecting and removing the div from the DOM. I experienced the same behaviour in Chrome and Firefox (which have ad-blocking plugins/extensions), but not in Safari or IE (which don't); and, indeed, the div appears if I disable Adblock Plus. One of the more basic rules Adblock Plus and the like follow is to look for HTML elements with class="sponsors" or id="sponsors" and remove them.
