I have a HTML page where i have div to show help as shown in image above at bottom.
I also have combo box (select input) which is comming on top of this help div in IE 6.
For other browser and and IE6+ versions, it is working fine.
Is there any CSS hack for this issue for IE 6?
This is a very famous and old bug with IE6. What you need to do is to have an iframe before the div. This bug is quite well documented. It happens because in IE6 select boxes were ActiveX controls and were meant to be above all the elements of the page. iframe is also an ActiveX control and can be set above the select box. You can read up about the hack on this website http://www.javascriptjunkie.com/?p=5.
I am pretty sure a similar question has been asked around on SO as well but I couldn't find it.
There are well-documented CSS hacks for all the versions of IE.
For IE6, use the underscore hack -- put an underscore character at the front of the selector to target just IE6.
This page has full details: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/quick-tip-how-to-target-ie6-ie7-and-ie8-uniquely-with-4-characters/
As i know, by default IE6 will put above the other elements.
You could hide them (display: none) when this div.help is shown

I have a form with text area and defined resize:both in css.
However, the resize handle / icon is missing on IE and Firefox but visible in Chrome. How can I fix this, or does these browser doen't support it.
Note that I'm using Twitter Bootstrap CSS as my CSS framework.
In Firefox 14.0.1, the handle disappears when you change the CSS border property on a textarea in any way - color, width, style, whatever. If you leave it as default, then the handle is visible. Could be a bug.
Check out the support table. No support in IE yet. Support exists in Firefox, and my test just confirmed this—but the handle is a little less noticeable than in Chrome:
Perhaps there is something else in your CSS code that overrides the setting, in a manner that affects Chrome but not Firefox.
I created a drop-down menu for web-site. But apparently,this drop-down menu just works in Firefox not in IE.
So What's wrong? Can anyone tell me this? Or give me an idea. Thanks in advance.
IE doesn't support the :hover pseudo-class on anything other than anchor tags. You'll need to use Javascript to make this work in IE.
Edit: As corrected by Kolink, this is an untrue statement for IE7+. IE7+ will need to be rendering in standards compliant mode to support it though. That means you'll need a doctype header on your HTML. See Pseudo class :hover does not work in IE7
You have placed these <div>s and other tags inside a <tr>, without using a <td>. This is invalid HTML and non-IE browsers are covering your back.
i am making a menu for my school assignment and it needs to work in both IE and firefox.
I am done the menu and it works perfectly in firefox, but i am having trouble getting it to display properly in IE
A part can be found over here: http://tutudragon3.info/ie-trying.php
When i click the home image in firefox, a dropdown sort of thing pops-up with 2 images with text "d" and "d". In firefox, there is no space between those dropdown images, but when i try it in IE, I see a small blank space between them.
how could i fix this (delete that space) please. I tried many different things but it didn't work.
Using IE8 by the way.
Before worrying about any specific bugs:
Use a Doctype that triggers standards mode, as quirks mode inconsistencies are a nightmare to deal with. If in doubt, use HTML 4.01 Strict: http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html
Deal with machine detectable errors
If you have done the things David mentions, and still see some differences, you might want to take a look at ie7.js, it is a JavaScript library to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser.
I don't find any problem in IE7. But if you are having the problem, try giving display:block; to the <A> and <IMG> tags. The problem should vanish.
The products on the below page are getting displayed correctly in FF, Safari and IE8:

However, IE6 is having issues. Does anyone know what I need to do to get it to display correctly in IE6?
Thanks
I don't have IE6 installed, but what this looks like is the IE6 Multiple Class Bug for this (and maybe more) div:
<div class="listing-type-list catalog-listing top10full">
It's a bummer, but if you really need IE6 support, that page will show you some techniques to work around it.
fixed it. I needed to add a larger line height to get the numbers to show and adjust the margins so the content fitted.
I have a blog, www.realcanadianenglish.blogspot.com. I use Firefox to write it. Sometimes I check the blog using Internet Explorer. With the later it shows a gap between the picture and the text sometimes. Can I change the HTML code to fix this? Why is there a difference between the two: Explorer and Firefox?
Internet Explorer can have extra padding on some elements. I suggest you try to include a CSS Reset file first and then your own CSS file.
Here's a good Stackoverflow question about CSS Reset files
The blog looks fine on IE8. If you're having a problem with it, I would recommend running IE8 and using the debug tool provided (hit F12). You can dynamically change the HTML and CSS from right inside the browser. It's faster than uploading a new template every time you want to test a change.
You are refering to the IE Model Bug
In most cases the issue will be with IE and, in those cases, it's sometimes best, or at least convenient, to just serve IE a line or two to bring it into line with the other far more modern browsers with "conditional comments". These comments will be recognized only by IE but wind up allowing you to include styling or html that won't affect other browsers. They are easy to use but have a few variations based on which version of IE you are targeting. Here is the link explaining them all: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(VS.85).aspx
