I'll start by saying this is not my work, but I am trying to figure out how to fix it nonetheless... Here is the page in question:
http://www.getredwood.com/pro/
The three content areas at the bottom are the part in question. It looks fine when I look at it in Firefox or Chrome, but in IE 9, everything collapses left to right and the boxes actually overlap each other a bit. The CSS that's in there now looks a bit of a mess and I'm not sure where to begin. Would be most grateful for any ideas. Thanks!
I'm not sure whether I need to post the CSS code here or not...it should be visible through "Inspect Element" in FF, but if anyone can't see it, please let me know...
This lies within the compatibly that browsers have, what you will need to do is use javascript to determine which browser is in use then create a custom style for each, thus allowing you to make it work on any and all browsers
Here are some links that should help you out

Best of luck to you

On my home page in ie for some reason it makes a line about 3px high right about the content and right below the bread crumb bar. example.
Second problem, is that it also makes a box on this page
example
On the second example it messes with the user photo moves it into a box that should not be there. Along with the follow forum button. Which should be right below in the box as well. To see how it should look check those pages in any browser but ie. I really could use a fix for this. If its a css thing i have a ie specific css file i can put code in i just cant figure out what i need to put in there.
Also can someone check it out in ie 8 because i don't have it anymore and if there is a different fix maby you could help with that as well.
Looks like you have something going on that's changing your HTML or your DOM based on the browser. Likely you either have some client or server side code that manipulating things in a browser-variant way.
For example, in IE you have two DIVs with ID "boardindex", but I only see one in Chrome. Use F12 and/or Firebug to further investigate the differences. Isolate the code that's causing the differences using a binary search method if necessary.
I've been wrecking myself trying to figure out what is going on with this big of html. It renders correctly in latest Firefox, Safari and on chrome canary, but normal chrome renders these weird lines and I have no idea why.
I've create a JS fiddle with an excerpt of my code, it's part of a much larger project, but I'm seeing the rendering issue in the fiddle as well as in my app. I've attached a screen shot of what I'm seeing in the fiddle for reference.
Fiddle
Bug screenshot:
The red middle line shouldn't be there as well as the line to the left of "close". This is just one example, as I mouse over the modal I get lines appearing all over the place.
It makes for a less than stellar question as it's difficult to replicate. Resizing the browser helps to show the error. My fiddle has quite a bit of html and css. I don't expect anyone to actually comb through it and fix the issue. I just want to be thorough in presenting the problem.
I've tried looking online but I haven't been able to find anyone reporting the same issue as far as I can tell.
If anyone has any ideas on what may be causing this, how to fix it or point me to a relevant link/SO question I'd be very grateful.
Things I've ruled out/investigated:
- not caused by something else on the page, as I extracted it into jsfiddle and it's still hapenneing. I also removed the body content using the console in my app and it didn't make a difference.
- I dont think the gradients or transitions are causing it, as removing them didn't seem to have an effect
- possibly/probably related to absolute positioning? When I removed the position absolute on the main wrapper element I didn't see this occuring.
- I read that applying a z-index to these elements might help, but it did nothing for these issues.
TL,DR: Why does google chrome, but not canary or safari, show rendering errors on absolutely positioned elements with liberal use of css3 gradients, shadows and transitions?
When I remove the '-webkit-transform: scale(0.95)' on #vfs_uploader and the '-webkit-transform: scale(1)' on #vfs_uploader.visible, it displays fine: http://jsfiddle.net/cjc343/fzqPT/2/
I don't know how this affects Safari or if it has other implications in Chrome, but it does not appear to otherwise affect the layout in the example.
I noticed today that a website that I've completed months ago was not showing well on Firefox and IE8 (works fine in IE9). It's quite old now and I'm pretty sure that I tested browser compatibility at the time but I guess one does make mistakes.
Problem is I can't seem to understand the problem. Basically I have a left floated sidebar with a fixed position but it renders on the right (outside its container) on FF and IE8. I could always build the layout again from scratch (it uses Skeleton Grid system) but would still like to understand the problem.
Example page that's broken on the website.
Try to open it with various browsers and see for yourself. Also, if someone views it right on FF, I'm interested too.
Thanks a lot!
Edit: I'm not asking for a whole debugging. Just if someone knows of this issue.
Edit2: Validator links are irrelevant here. I checked it already and they're basically prefixes for css and CMS-related for html.
Edit3: I fixed it and prepared a kinda complete answer to post but as I'm a new user, I can't answer my own question in the next 7 hours... so here it is:
I just sorted the whole thing out with hints from your answers (thank
you!).
Basically, it's something to do with how browsers handle floats on
fixed elements. Imagine we're dealing with successive "float:left"
element, which is the case in most grid system (960gs, bootstrap,
etc.).
Here's how browser will handle these elements without fixed
positioning: http://jsfiddle.net/cPjdK/ And with float:right :
http://jsfiddle.net/cPjdK/1/
Now what if we have a very long third column and want to fix the first
(my example)? Well it basically disables the floats because fixed
elements are out of the flow. http://jsfiddle.net/cPjdK/9/
So you have to position them absolutely (or with margins in my case)
http://jsfiddle.net/cPjdK/6/
Now what about my website? The fixed elements were floated anymore and
the whole grid system kinda fell apart. Fixing this appeared to be a
long work. But, for some reason, replacing my "float:left" properties
on floated elements with "float:right" basically fixed it. Why did it
fix it? Why was it not working on FF and IE8 but appeared fine on IE9
and Chrome.
I have no idea.
But it looks fine now (after a few tweaks) and I've already been paid
so...
Problem solved but question unanswered, sorry...
You have a FIXED positioned element without giving it any coordinates.
Try giving it something like:
#side-right{
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
}
I'm having an odd problem with some floated divs on this page that I'm working on. There are 3 of them across the page, with 1em margins between. In Chrome they line up perfectly, but in IE and FF, the right hand one drops a little - but not all the way below. I thought this might be best described with a picture, please see below:
I can't work out which bit of the CSS is causing this - I've been through the new FF code inspector and highlighted all block level objects with the webdev toolbar but can't see anything that would cause such a drop.
I did wonder if it was something within the JS twitter feed causing it, but I've swapped round the Twitter and "Update" boxes and it's always the right-hand one. I've also tried removing additional elements from the page - everything between the menu and these three boxes.
I must admit, I'm at my wit's end! Can anyone spot something obvious I've missed? The CSS is fairly large, and I'm not sure which bit to show, so I haven't copied it in in, but will do if anyone desires. Otherwise everything can be viewed at http://www.woodexperts.com
Change width: 15.25em in div#main div.tricolumn to width: 15.24em
That should take care of the issue.
I understand that this is a hack, but if IE is the only browser causing problems, you might want to consider IE conditional comments that restrict certain styles only for IE:

I have a website and i need to implement border radius for text box and Selet box.
Text-boxes are working fine on IE6 with the Support of HTC File.
But Unfortunately Select box not working. its taking the default value.

Please Help me to fix this issues.
Thanks in Advance.
I think it is not possible to achive what you are looking for. The level of customization allowed using CSS styles applied to dropdown elements is very basic as far as I know, even more in old-IEs.
If you really need that border, check for dropdown replacement plugins such as :
http://v2.easy-designs.net/articles/replaceSelect/
However Im not fully sure about its compatibility with IE6.
If I were you, I wouldnt bother too much with IE6 styles... it is really and old browser, the web must go on. As far as you app is working fine, a border is not a big deal.
Good luck! :-)
