I'm having some frustrating alignment issues. I had previously posted a question because everything was arranged correctly in all of the browsers except FF. I now have everything correct but of course IE has swooped in to cause problems. It works fine in IE8 and IE9 but NOT in IE7.

Basically the left column is where the right column should be and the right column is below. I have a feeling it has something to do with inline:block or display:table-cell . Are there any known bugs with these styles in IE7?
display:table-cell is not working IE7. If you desperately need functionality that can only be provided by display: table-cell in IE7, you have two choices:
Use a real <table> and suffer unsemantic HTML.
Use JavaScript for IE7 (and lower) to fix it.

text-allign-last is not supported in safari.How can i apply it?This property is applied in major browsers but it not applied in safari.thanks for any solution.
I need to apply allign type justify for div and for last line i need to use center.that what i used text-allign-last property. but it not applied in safari.
Yes, Obviously could not able to fix this issue with the pure CSS. but we can able to fix with the JavaScript help.
After searching for the solution, I have found the solution in the Center last line of justified text in Safari and Chrome ("text-align-last" not working).
Thanks for helping me to find the answer.
I'm looking for a workaround for this odd IE bug (present in IE11, haven't tested other versions, works perfectly in Chrome/FireFox).
CSS clear:right; doesn't work as expected with rtl language even though clear:left; for an ltr language works without problems.
It's best to show an example so I'll attach screen shots.
I've noticed problems similar to this one all around so any general workaround would be most welcome. I'm not trying to solve it only specifically for this page.
Thanks

For lack of an IE 11 I can only test this in IE 10, but the problem presents there as well.
Adding width:100% and overflow:hidden to the .ibox element does seem to fix it – then it won’t need clearing any more, because it will go underneath the floated content before it since there is no place for it beside it any more.
See if that’s a workaround you can make use of.
Could you please create a reduced example demonstrating the problem?
I checked the code and there is no float: right box before (prior in source code) to the cleared <div class="ibox" xid="48962">.
Sorry! there are! .i_d dt {float: right} are floated right. So you are quite possibly right with your query and claims.
Note that you are using invalid attributes in your XHTML 1.1 page.
I'm having difficulty trying to get IE7 to behave like a normal browser.
I have a HTML sample here: http://jsfiddle.net/6QSYM/4/ that looks fine in most browsers, but when viewed with IE7 you can see that the "Sector Used" text is merged with the line below it.
Can somebody suggest how I can correct this?
I run into this problem all the time! At the company I work at we still have to support IE7 (will it ever just DIE!). So the best solution I have found is to set the width for your none floating div. It's a hassle but that why IE knows how to calculate the layout.
Try adding:
clear:both;
to your .risk-statistic-container class.
Try this:

the semantics of your HTML elements are all over the place as well. Way too many spans and divs for me :)
Hope that helps.
I've noticed that some browsers have trouble with margins, especially when an element is floated. For example, this website I'm doing looks fine in Firefox, but IE7 screws up the margins completely it seems. I also testet it on several Linux browsers as well and some of the make similar mistakes.
The site is
http://w3box.com/mat
This looks fine in FF3.0 as far as I can tell. Haven't seen it in FF2 yet, or IE6.
Why does this happen? Is it because I've got floated DIVs with specified margins?
Are there some things I should avoid or should have done differently?
Edit: So it looks like my tags was the source of the screwup.
I'd placed images in the that was not defined in the CSS and that had floats on them, combined with margins. These screwed up everything and I have to redo these.
Also, some stuff happened when I used XHTML Strict instead :)
Thanx everyone! I'll try to fix this on my own :)
I disagree with using a library if you want to learn about CSS part of the curve unfortunately is learning about the ways different browsers react to CSS. I wouldn't even suggest using a reset stylesheet. If you are going to be doing this a lot learn how CSS works. If you use a library or a set stylesheet which you don't understand how will you fix it when it breaks.
Marging are not bad, but IE has some troubles with the margins of float elements. While there are many recipes for fixing, I believe that in your case you may use absolute positioning instead of float+margins (you don't really need "float" behavior when the image is wrapped by text)
There is nothing wrong with using margins.
Old versions of IE have one bug and that alone isn't nearly enough of a reason to avoid using one of the core layout features of CSS. Specifically, this bug occurs in IE when you float an object and give it a margin in the same direction, e.g.:
.whatever {
float: right;
margin-right: 5px;
}
You can deal with this a number of ways, depending on your layout. One way would be to add another div around your box and use padding on that to replicate the same space a margin would.
I'd suggest using some form of CSS Framework (Blueprint CSS, 960 Grid, etc) as they have a number of margin, padding and other common HTML element resets. You should find cross browser development is easier using a framework.
Different browsers have different ways to handle box model. Most of the time the sites which are displayed well in FF, Chrome or IE8 can have problems in IE6 and 7.
To workaround this problem you can try to set all the default margin and padding to 0 (and adjust them as needed on specific elements):
*{ margin:0px; padding: 0px; } //Simplest rule...
To see more on CSS reset you can look at: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
And then apply different styles for IE7 and 6 with conditional comments.
As mentioned on other answers it's to do with IE's interpretation of the box model.
Whenever anything is floated IE tends to double the margins specified. This can be fixed with an extra stylesheet for IE using conditional comments.

I am using a home page based upon the Three-Column Holy Grail layout by Matthew James Taylor. The layout works just fine in all browers except, surprise, IE8. My center column, where the my main data lives contains a table tag like:
<table style="width: 100%">...
The result is not what was expected. I am using the version where the width of the left and right columns are`defined as fixed pixel valuse. I have not tried the percentage version yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions. I really like Taylor's design.
Thanks,
Danny
Make sure that the CSS you're using to fix the layout in IE6 and IE7 aren't causing the issues with IE8.
Your best bet is to re-write any CSS hacks (fixes) using seperate stylesheets using IE Conditional Comments to load them specifically for IE7 and IE6 seperately.
