Somehow my fb:like widget looks bad in IE8, but ok in Firefox and Chrome. Even the text is different. How could I affect somehow the rendering of the widget?
Me:
Does the like button at
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like look different for
you in IE8?
You:
No. Not exactly the same in IE than in real browsers, but basically ok.
Since your IE 8 works on the plugin page, then there's something going on in your HTML that is interfering with the plugin.
Your best best is to strip the page down to bare essentials until the button renders correctly in IE8, just as it does on the documentation page.
Then slowly start adding in content until it breaks. Then you know what caused it and it will be a lot easier to fix it.

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?

The code:

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.
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.
This page is being rendered incorrectly by IE 9 (and probably older versions too). The right menu is floating to the bottom of the page. Firefox, Chrome and Safari are rendering it correctly. Other pages in the blog are also being rendered fine by all browsers. I already tried to fire IE 9 Developer Tools (F12) and reduce the width of some divs (such as #main and .columns-inner)... no lucky with this approach, even with extra space the right menu is still rendered at the bottom. So I figure that the problem is in the Blogger auto-generated tags / css for the page content (which I am able to modify). Any CSS gurus out there can point what is wrong?
Cheers,
You have this line in your <head>, which is causing IE9 to render the page in IE7 mode:
<META content=IE=EmulateIE7 http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible>
If you remove this, it renders fine in IE8 and IE9. It still renders poorly in IE7, though.
Edit:
In response to your comment, I am able to replicate the issue with the background no longer being opaque. After some investigation, there is a particular script file being loaded:
http://www.blogger.com/static/v1/jsbin/938506610-ieretrofit.js
If you remove the <meta content='IE=EmulateIE7' http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible'/> on line 4 of the source, and you remove the ieretrofit.js file from line 1471 of the source, the page should render correctly in IE9.
Since the ieretrofit.js file appears to be generated by Google, you might want to ask them about it. If you would like to disable it JUST for IE9, and allow it to continue for IE8 and below, you should take a closer look at line 1471 of the source. Here is a snippet (it's quite long, this starts around character #2275):
'\74!--[if IE]\76\74script
The !--[if IE] there is part of an IE conditional comment. You can change that snippet like so, and it will still target IE8 and below, without affecting IE9:
'\74!--[if lte IE 8]\76\74script
Let me know if you have any further issues!
The page has 104 validation errors — I’d start by fixing those if I were you.
Almost certainly it is because the page is invalid. Also, I really would think about starting again with this page as it is overly complex markup.
Guys. Figured it out (with great help from andyb and Paul D.)
The validator pointed to some unpaired </div> tags that I removed. Now it is working flawless.
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.
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.
