Random css class from nowhere - html

I have a problem on a page i'm coding. Problem is i'm getting random img classes from nowhere (at least nowhere i know). I've put the generated class below.
<img class=" iryjanjabqqmypymdnuv" src="some/source/path">
There are several jquery plugins and jqueryui on the page but div that got img has nothing to do with those js libs. I also use php but that must have nothing to do with this i guess.
If you need any codes or names of the libraries just ask. Please help me i really have no idea and all the search i did was empty about this.

I had exactly the same problem. Find out that AdBlock Plus is responsible for that. So, just disable all the extensions and reload the page

Just wanted to chime in for anyone that finds this googling their problem, this is exactly the right answer in my case as well. AdBlock Plus (in Firefox only, not Chrome) was generating random class names for images I have embedded in my nav bar for social media links.
Now I have to either find a way to get around that or anyone using ABP in Firefox will see a weird looking nav bar due to this issue. It's not exactly an unpopular plugin.
I work in both Chrome and Firefox and use ABP in both. Hopefully we won't have to find workarounds for this.

Is it possible that you're browsing on a mobile network connection? Some mobile networks modify the HTML/CSS for images so they can serve lower-bandwidth versions, but allow you to "fix" them later. For example, on T-Mobile, if I hover over an image it will give me an Alt tag telling me the keyboard shortcut to use to load the original.
Obviously this won't be the case if it's all local...

I had the same problem and disabled all extensions in Firefox and then it was gone. Not sure which extension is the guilty party, have too many to chase it down by disabling each of them one at a time. :)

Weebly editor - Issue with links to inpage # anchors - only with Chrome and IE

Hi all,
I have been working on this website here through the Weebly editor. I studied Web Development 10 years ago and have only been getting back into it for this job, hence the use of Weebly, hoping to make things easier for myself and for my employer to take over the site when everything is working well. I have been having a problem with links not performing correctly in Chrome and Edge, working fine in Firefox and Safari. I have been looking for the past 3 days now and tried a whole bunch of things without success.
I have built pages more like the main menus being one page and the submenus links to anchors within that page.
With the way Weebly works, I didn't see a way of adding an "id" attribute to any "Title" or "Text" element you use to struture your content. So I started with the fallowing sample code, interjected where needed:
<a name="anchor-name"></a>
I was just placing an "embed HTML" element a little above where I wanted the link to land to compensate for the menu always being at the top. This simple solution works fine with Firefox and Safari. But for some reason, with Microsoft Edge does not take me to the anchor, just stays at the top of page; using Chrome, it doesn't work properly when opening the link from an outside source, link from email or doing a right click and "open link in new tab", it jumps further than intented but works fine once you're on the site and go through the different sub-menus. Very puzzling...
In my research, I came across people with similar problems, never really the same. But I tried this more elegant way, creating a CSS class with the negative top to compensate for menu and changing display to "inline-block", some saying it corrected there problem with IE. No luck for me, Firefox still working fine though.
.nav-anchor{
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
top: -150px;
visibility: hidden;
}
I came also across someone saying to check for errors with the W3.org validator, see result here. The first error is :
Error: X-UA-Compatible HTTP header must have the value IE=edge, was
IE=edge,chrome=1.
I couldn't figure out how or where to change that, I looked through the Weebly editor > Theme editor in all the files and didn't see it anywhere. So not sure if I can add it someplace, or if the Weebly just includes that part for you. Any idea if that's is on the path of solving my problem?
I haven't taken the time to go through all the errors, can the errors make the links not perform correctly?
The answer here (thank you Jeffrey Kastner) did help some what with Chrome, Right-click > "Open in new tab" on a submenu link now sometimes takes me to the right spot, sometimes jumps too far down. I tried over and over with the same link, seemed random. I haven't got feedback from client using IE.
Thank you in advance for any help
(edit:greetings and thank you note disappeared on first post for some reason)
The short answer for your question is you'll want to add meta tags with those in your site's theme within the various types of header template files.
In the majority of themes I have seen used on sites at Weebly, the following "Header Type" files are in the theme editor, and you would need to add the following to each of those as children to the head tag:
header.html
no-header.html
splash.html
(of course, your list may be different depending upon the theme you're using on your site).
The meta-tag HTML code you need to include as a child to your head tag would be:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
The chrome=1 part is usually no longer required since the Chrome-frame was discontinued in 2014, but many people still include it as part. What is happening is you're instructing Internet Explorer to operate in "standards" (the latest rendering engine). The full answer to what this tag does with this setting is available in more comprehensible detail in this stackoverflow question.
I'm not sure if this will completely resolve the issue of your links not operating as expected, since there are many things which can intercept or interrupt the event bubbling process which occurs such as: javascript, frameworks, CSS issues, and many more things. If you were to provide some more concrete information and code examples with errors about what you're seeing, I might be able to help further.
Also, you may want to search in the Weebly Help Center and Knowledgebase, consider asking this question in the Weebly Developer Community or for a more personal engagement, by creating a Weebly Support Case.

Stupid Jagged Looking Text in Chrome

This question doesn't deal too much with coding itself, but if there's a fix for it in any way, do let me know. I've searched around for a while looking for an answer, as I've had this issue for a long time. Can anyone explain why this text in Chrome looks so terrible? This is just an example of some buttons on this website: bad text image
Each individual letter looks like it's a different size from the previous one, and nothing is smooth. It looks jagged and terrible. I've tried toggling on and off DirectWrite, but that hasn't changed anything. The text is like this on every site, not just StackOverflow of course. I hope this isn't how it's supposed to look...anyone?
Have you tried setting the font for Chrome?
chrome://settings/ > show advanced settings >web content > customize fonts...
Actually, there are a number of different fixes people have found helpful for this.
For one WordPress site I run, the problem was solved by loading a set of font files to our site and implementing #FontFace differently (some additional browser-specific settings and getting the sequence of those correct). This resolved the issue for all users without the need for any local changes to OS or Browser. Other folks have had success with a other CSS formatting settings.
Localised fixes include changing Chrome browser settings, and changing settings in Windows. Like the OP, I didn't find these helpful but others apparently have.
Edit - These Stack posts host a good discussion of the various options people have found helpful:
https://superuser.com/questions/308135/how-can-i-improve-font-appearance-in-google-chrome
Jagged and choppy Google webfonts in Chrome and Firefox on Windows
PS - #user2864740 In my opinion, the various CSS suggestions (#FontFace, -webkit-text-stroke: 0.25px, etc) do constitute a coding fix.

Firefox: images not appearing, url's modified with "pagespeed" + jargon

OSX 10.8.5
I have images on my site hosted on my own server (not hotlinked) that aren't appearing in Firefox (26.0). It's just empty space where the image should be.
Troubleshooting with Firebug, I found that the image urls are different than what they're supposed to be. Instead of just src="img/Pic1.gif" it's something like src="http://website.net/img/xPic1.gif.pagespeed.ic.A2br4BiDEK.png". This has to be the reason the images aren't appearing, no?
I looked up what PageSpeed is, but I've never used it before. I guess I should disable it, but as you can see on the page I linked that it requires knowledge of apache? I have zero knowledge of that and would like to avoid it for the time being if possible.
Does PageSpeed just come as a part of Firebug? I disabled Firebug and refreshed which did not bring the images back. Will other visitors to my site not see the images on Firefox as well? If so, how can I possibly solve this?
edit
I'm also using Google Analytics, in case that is relevant..
Pagespeed is not the reason for the disappearance of my images, so although I didn't solve my problem, I'm closing this question as the title is no longer relevant.

My site on Internet Explorer 8: What a mess

I have a Windows 7 with service pack 1, and Internet Explorer 10. And I have my site, http://www.gfcf14greendream.com/ . It looks great on Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but not in Internet Explorer. For starters, I wanted to test how my site looks using IETester, and it's a mess (please compare by clicking the link above):
The thing is, I think that maybe the issue could be that IE8 doesn't load well from <object> tags, is that it? I use three object tags to load the three white parts: header, vertical menu, and "site log" (you can see them here: http://www.gfcf14greendream.com/header.html , http://www.gfcf14greendream.com/verticalmenu.html , http://www.gfcf14greendream.com/thesitelog.html)
To load those three sites, I use the following code:
This one for the header, <object type="text/html" data="http://www.gfcf14greendream.com/header.html" width="100%" height=185></object>
This one for the menu, <object type="text/html" data="http://www.gfcf14greendream.com/verticalmenu.html" height=484 width=100%></object>
And this one for the log, <center><object type="text/html" data="http://www.gfcf14greendream.com/thesitelog.html" height=600 width="90%"></object></center>
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas concerning this "mess". Thank you!!
This isn't a real answer (It's a quick and careless answer at best, so don't take it too seriously)
But I just thought I'd mention that the the W3C markup validator might be useful to you if you don't already know about it.. It catches bad markup practices or errors on your page and can give you more information on how to fix them. At the time of writing, your front page alone has 10 errors and 3 warnings on it. Maybe this could point you in the right direction?
upon a quick skim of your page you don't seem to be utilising CSS properly. That is to say, that I see you are using css but you have elements on your page (use of <center> HTML tags, inline styling and things like that) that go against the grain of why CSS was invented.
If you haven't already seen the CSS zen garden, take a quick read/look at it. It should set you right on why we use CSS instead of tables and alignment tags.
(People sometimes don't get this immediately, but , click the links on the right in the zen garden. The same HTML and page content are completely restyled using one html file and seperate CSS sheets)
Good luck!
Edit:
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that internet explorer 8 doesn't have much (if at all) HTML5 compatibility. If you want to develop websites and web apps in HTML5 you'll be hard pressed to serve your I.E 8 visitors and may end up spending more time fixing bugs than you are developing the content.
Some developers are already boycotting I.E 8 entirely to usher in the new era of the web with HTML5 and CSS 3. There are a few js compatibility libraries out there (like excanvas for the new <canvas> element for example) but they don't work flawlessly and you will eventually have to draw the line somewhere. (lol. canvas.. draw line.. get it?) That being said, i did find this article and this may be useful to you:
turn-on-html5-in-ie8-or-lower
Not every website requires HTML5 and it's new technologies, but if you plan on using it for things like the <canvas> tag, Id suggest (from my own personal opinion) you forget about I.E 8 and concentrate on browsers that utilise it.
Remember that you can make checks in your HTML to see what browser version your visitor is using.
You can see if they are using an incompatible browser, and if so, you can then alert them that their software is out of date and suggest to them alternatives (such as chrome or firefox)
There's a bunch of tutorials on-line about this, here's the first decent looking one I found in a quick Google search this article covers using this technique for seperate CSS sheets but there are others that talk about the problem I mentioned in more depth and I'm sure you can probably figure out how to do it anyway once you read the article.
Either way, I'd say you've got a little bit of reading ahead of you to understand why your humble website does not work in an increasingly obsolete browser.
Again, good luck to you in your future endeavours.
Edit was too harsh:
Having looked a the site I would start by suggesting in future you think about design from a users perspective - the colour scheme you're using isn't very friendly on the eye, the red text against the green is particular troublesome to people with red/green color blindness, you also should consider how your content is presented.
End Edit:
However, regarding your IE issues.
First things first, with any work is getting a firm plan of what you hope to achieve and setting a good groundwork before starting. With HTML that means leveling the playing field with regard to browser quirks, and to achieve that, you use a reset css file.
This ensures that all browsers (as close as possible) behave in more or less the same way, regarding padding, spacing, line heights etc, and can go along way to prevent these sort of problems from happening, and allow you to achieve consitancy.
There's more info at the link below.

Secondly your HTML version - your declaring HTML5 but then use HTML4 values and attributes - basically your site (as pointed out above) is not valid markup.

What is sfdocready?

I see sfdocready in some footers of pages I have been working on. I cannot find anything about this?
For example:
<sfdocready id="sfDocReady"></sfdocready>
Thanks!
This has to do with Superfish (the <sfdocready> and <sfmsg> tags).
I just determined what was doing it in my case. Using Safari, I have (well, had, it's gone now for this bizarre behavior) the Awesome Screenshot extension installed. There is a checkbox in its settings called "Enable similar product search powered by Superfish" which looks for images on the page and uses them as search parameters to provide comparison shopping deals for you.
In its defense it did prompt me if I wanted to see price comparisons, but it did so on Amazon in a way that actually looked like the prompt came from Amazon.
To the answer above me about Firefox inserting it when you save the document, that's only because an extension or some JavaScript inserted it first, it has nothing specific to do with Firefox. It also has nothing to do with Wordpress.
Somewhat sleazy stuff, imo.
This looks like it's got something to do with Wordpress themes.
I have, an assumption, that this tag means: "safe document is ready", so something is running only after whole document has been loaded. But what exectly does it mean and how does it work, it`s a big question.
Near this tag I have also also often seen <sfmsg> tag.
This tag is inserted by Firefox when you save the page as an HTML document.
I issued this problem yesterday. I have firefox with a plugin named Awesome Screenshot. In order to solve this you need:
Click over the Awesome Screenshot
Select options
UNCHECK/DISABLE the option: "Enable similar product search powered by Superfish"
And that is all!
