I have a fairly far-out box model for my portfolio website. It's actually really not but it required a little CSS magic to get the chamfer corners to work (I really wonder why chamfer corners do not exist in CSS). See it here.
Now, if you're on Firefox, and you navigate to my resume, you'll see a very mysterious margin going on at the top that I just can't seem to figure out. I was wondering if anyone could poke around with the Firefox dev tools and possibly figure out where this is coming from because I can't seem to figure it out. You may also notice a few other little graphical glitches on Firefox that are not present in any other browser, but hey, what can I say, I like that box look and I ain't gonna compromise.
Image depiction (from FF7.0.1, win7):
Add display: inline-block; to .box_content.
Not sure whats causing it but that should fix it. At least it did on my computer.
Validate your html for that list of errors that needs fixing. Then validate your CSS. I didn't run through that.
I rebuilt the "resume" section from the ground up. During this process I noticed a lot of margins being added to titles and such before I would edit the CSS classes that weren't added in other browsers. Margins seem to affect the "height=100%" rule as anyone whose tried to get a footer to stick to the bottom of their webpages might have figured out. So I chalk this one up to one of the titles getting a margin from one of Firefox's standard CSS stylesheets, I just couldn't find it.
Lesson of the day: ALWAYS set padding and margin to 0 for any custom class or id!

So my problem is that for some reason on one page of a website I've been fiddling with, the two navigation bars that I have (Top and Sidebar Navigation) are for no apparent reason scaled down in the Google Chrome browser, their behavior is entirely normal in both iE and Firefox. The bar's remain completely functional, but are simply scaled down perhaps to 66% of the intended size.
Here is the code for the page in question: http://pastebin.com/uvrPR1JW
Here is the code for a similar, but functioning page for reference: http://pastebin.com/5dAMREfC
They're running off the same style sheet so the issue is likely in the HTML, however the style sheet is linked in the comment section for reference. If anyone spots any reason why it would be doing anything like this it'd be great to know. And I apologize for the messy code, as I said I'm just playing around with it.
Update:
You may notice that my code includes at least one flexbox, here is question posted by another user that may be related but I can't make heads or tails of it: Chrome shrinks figure elements as they are added to a flexbox
Update: Doesn't seem to be a problem with the flexbox, the issue still exists even when I remove all content except the top header.
I'd say it's the setup of your navbar, how you have an image and you just change the position of it on hover. Chrome has a weird feature where it moves things around when there is images so I would suggest looking up how to make a proper navigation bar (It's pretty easy).
I´ve recently started to program all my layouts in tableless CSS, but still prefering the old tables style. Much faster. Anyway, I´m stuck in this layout that is almoust finished, but I need help to one minor detais, which I can´t manage to fix.
Here is the test address:
http://www.syncsystem.com.br/
As you can see, the design and background are almoust complete. Later I´m gonna put the rest of the stuff in, like links and so on. The problem is at the bottom. The ideia behind this is that the background texture stay fixed, as is is. But there´s a white space at the bottom which I can´t get rid of...can anyone help or give a hint?
Thanks,
I'm not sure if that's what you are talking about, but the footer's background image itself has some space in it below the black part.
And the footer has the same height as it's background image, so the whole image is being shown.
Next time use some web development tool such as Firebug, or use a native one pressing F12 in Firefox or Chrome. It will help you quickly analyze the page element's properties
I am working on a website simkt.com and just moved over to joomla 2.5 after rebuilding the base theme to match the desired look.
Unfortunately, being a novice web developer that I am, I forgot to check out how things looked in browsers other than Chrome. The site is now live, and I quickly discovered that in Firefox/IE that the website is not quite right, and after some adjustments, that when I make adjustments to try and fix the issues, there is around a 5 pixel difference in spacing between Chrome and Firefox/IE (and I tested now in IE 7 and it was.. quite bad).
So, my question is, what am I doing wrong, and how can I go about fixing this?
Using Chrome dev, I reduced the top-padding in rt-body-bg to 0, and in the logo itself, decreased the top-margin to -30 and bottom-margin to -25 and it looks close to what I want, but has a 5 pixel gap between the logo and the menu on Firefox, and in IE the login button starts to move off in some odd direction.
I know some css/php/html but am I am still learning, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Note that different browsers have different default values for the css for the different elements. A good practice when you program design with CSS is to use a reset values in the beginning of the css file. This reset is going to make sure that the unset values will be the same for every browser.
See this link for a css reset code

Hope it helps
As #Stoyan said, you should be using a CSS reset at the beginning of your CSS file.
You specifically mention margins. I've just had to resolve an issue whereby in our site margin-top was used to position items (not a great idea - blame the previous developers). In IE and Chrome it was fine but in FireFox, because it has a different top margin, it looked bad (items were 30px too low).
I didn't want to use an entire CSS reset because it might have had a knock-on effect for the entire site (fonts were all changed for example).
I used just one item to resolve it, curiously not margin-top but line-height:
body {
line-height: 1;
}
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'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:
