Firefox 3.6 Anchor Link - Improper Functionality - html

I have a jQuery Mobile Site that is using anchor tagging for navigation. The site has a URL like http://domain_name_here.com/smartphone/home.jsp. When I navigate to a page within the site, for example a product, a link would take you to #product?id=XXX and everything works fine.
However, in Firefox 3.6, I have a link that takes users to #home Back but when a user clicks on it, they are taken to "#/smartphone/home.jsp" instead of the expected "#home." The URL in Firefox 3.6 looks like "http://domain_name_here.com/smartphone/#smartphone/home.jsp" after clicking on the link defined above. This problem seems unique to Firefox 3.6 and it works perfectly fine on all other browsers.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, and if so, is there anyway to fix it. The point of using the hash tag is to not reload the page, so a solution that would require the page being loaded again is not valid.

Problem with MDBootstrap (jQuery) dropdowns in Chrome, Firefox

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.

How to prevent your web page to display in IE?

I am working on my first project and it looks OK in Chrome and Opera. But for some reason the "Signature Chef dish" section, looks off on Firefox. I suspect it has something to do with the grid I implemented there?
How can I fix this?
Also I want to disable view in the IE and it looks like a complete mess. Why?
URL: http://www.chefmarwanslim.com
The code:
https://github.com/Igor2122/marwan-3-0.git
In order to 'block' IE, just check what browser is being used and than change the page accordingly, in the case of IE you just display "Please upgrade to a decent browser". You could also add a link to firefox or chrome in that message if you want to. In order to detect what browser is used, please look at How to detect Safari, Chrome, IE, Firefox and Opera browser?.
Feedback for the site
The site looks nice, but the SIGNATURE CHEF DISH section isn't consistent. It would be better if the tweets and 'normal' pictures where displayed the same way or if you'd only use one of the two.

HTML form only works in Chrome after browser refresh

I'm working on an existing Rails application using Turbolinks.
I have a plans page with upgrade/downgrade functionality. When this page is visited from another page and a button is clicked to upgrade nothing happens, although when I refresh my browser it seems to work fine and posts the form.
The strange thing is that other buttons work fine with Turbolinks installed and it only seems to happen in Chrome. Firefox, Opera and Safari it works fine.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? I've searched through Google all morning but can't seem to find a resolution.
It seems like it's a problem with Google Chrome. I've fixed it by putting the attribute data-no-turbolink in the HTML on the link that goes to the page in question.
Now, when I go to the page via clicking on the link it doesn't use Turbolinks and makes a full refresh of the page.
To just target Chrome (as it seems to work in other browsers) you could use this piece of js:
if ($.browser.webkit) {
$("your-css-selector").attr('data-no-turbolink', true);
}
Could be seen as a bit of a hack, but it works.

Results missing using IE9 with datatables serverside

Ok, this is weird and I'm not sure how to resolve it.
I am the creator of LogZilla (a syslog management/reporting tool).
One of my users has pointed out a bug that only exists in IE9. IE 8 and below has never worked properly so I can live with that. But IE9 should be working. FWIW, I am running IE10 and it works. But if I put it in IE9 mode it doesn't.
If you visit my demo server and do a search (just click the search button at the bottom of the page after logging in), you can see that the data is presented properly using Chrome and FF and IE10, but if you use IE9 it says there is no data to display.
I've also noticed that if you use a GET instead of a POST it works properly. The results page after a search has a small disk icon at the top right - if you click that you can get the full URL to paste as a GET.
I'm wondering if the problem is this which led me to this, but I have tried loading json2.js in the header and it doesn't fix anything (maybe I did it wrong?)
Edit: I also though Modernizr might help, but I have no clue how to implement it, and the download page is insanely confusing - which options do I need?
Edit: Based on #thatidiotguy's comment, I checked my source and it is actually using a GET, not a POST. So now I'm even more confused as to why pasting the url works when clicking the button from the main page doesn't?

Getting CSS Tooltips with iFrames to work in Chrome

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.)
