CSS Stylesheet Partially Loading on IE - html

I have a WordPress site that I recently moved from one domain to another (using my host's dotnetpanel). When it went live on the new domain, it does not show up correctly in Internet Explorer. Previously, it worked well in all browsers. Specifically, it seems like parts of the stylesheet are just being ignored. It works fine on all browsers tested except IE.

Try putting the code here in and testing to see if it fixes your problem. What parts look like they're being ignored?

Maybe you have to reinstall some of your plug-ins?
I guess there are some wrong paths in the database or config-files.
Try to search database by db-admin-tool and all the files with an advanced text-editor with the option to search automatically in all files at the same time.

As far as I can see the style sheets are applied.
You have width: 100% and height: 100% on the links in the menu, which messes with their size in IE. Remove those styles.
The reason that the gradients doesn't show up is because they are filters, and the elements has to have layout for the filters to apply.
The object that the filter is applied to must have layout before the filter effect will display. You can give the object layout by setting the height or width property, setting the position property to absolute, setting the writingMode property to tb-rl, or setting the contentEditable property to true.
Ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532997%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
If you give the elements layout, the gradients will show up, for example:
.block h2 { width: 100%; }

Prevent p:dataTable from shrinking too much when empty

I use a Primefaces DataTable to display some data. I also allow filtering and sorting. In Internet Explorer, setting the filter to a value that returns no results (empty table) shrinks the table too much and scroll bars appear:
This is of course very ugly. In all other browsers it works perfectly fine. So this might be a problem with the version of Internet Explorer or Primefaces that I use, but changing those is not really an option.
I probably need some CSS shenanigans to work around this. I tried using height/width and min-height/min-width and also the scrollWidth / scrollHeight and scrollable attributes of the p:dataTable but that didn't to the trick.
Any suggestions?
Edit:
Using Primefaces 6.2.17, Internet Explorer 21H1
While looking through the rendered HTML I noticed that the <div> the dataTable was rendered inside (<div class="ui-datatable-tablewrapper">) had this CSS set:
.ui-datatable-tablewrapper {
overflow: auto;
}
Setting it to overflow: visible; in my .css file solved my problem:

How can i limit the size of my availability calender by adjusting my existing CSS?

I'm using drupal (jollyness) theme and I am hosting a mock up site at seosolutions.london
I have been trying to see if there is a css work around to either "prevent my calendar displaying more than one month at a time" OR "to hide any extra months from view"
I have tried playing around with the widths of the various container divs (using chrome developer) but nothing seems to make a difference.
does anyone have any suggestions please?
Try adding this to your CSS file:
.cal-viewport { width: 220px !important; }
Although you should refrain from using !important in your CSS, it is needed in this case (as inline styles are being applied).

<fieldset> resizes wrong; appears to have unremovable `min-width: min-content`

Problem
I have a <select> where one of its <option>’s text values is very long. I want the <select> to resize so it is never wider than its parent, even if it has to cut off its displayed text. max-width: 100% should do that.
Before resize:
What I want after resize:
But if you load this jsFiddle example and resize the Result panel’s width to be smaller than that of the <select>, you can see that the select inside the <fieldset> fails to scale its width down.
What I’m actually seeing after resize:
However, the equivalent page with a <div> instead of a <fieldset> does scale properly. You can see that and test your changes more easily if you have a <fieldset> and a <div> next to each other on one page. And if you delete the surrounding <fieldset> tags, the resizing works. The <fieldset> tag is somehow causing horizontal resizing to break.
The <fieldset> acts is as if there is a CSS rule fieldset { min-width: min-content; }. (min-content means, roughly, the smallest width that doesn’t cause a child to overflow.) If I replace the <fieldset> with a <div> with min-width: min-content, it looks exactly the same. Yet there is no rule with min-content in my styles, in the browser default stylesheet, or visible in Firebug’s CSS Inspector. I tried to override every style visible on the <fieldset> in Firebug’s CSS Inspector and in Firefox’s default stylesheet forms.css, but that didn’t help. Specifically overriding min-width and width didn’t do anything either.
Code
HTML of the fieldset:
<fieldset>
<div class="wrapper">
<select id="section" name="section">
<option value="-1"></option>
<option value="1501" selected="selected">Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</option>
<option value="1480">Subcontractor</option>
<option value="3181">Valley</option>
<option value="3180">Ventura</option>
<option value="3220">Very Newest Section</option>
<option value="1481">Visitor</option>
<option value="3200">N/A</option>
</select>
</div>
</fieldset>
My CSS that should be working but isn’t:
fieldset {
/* hide fieldset-specific visual features: */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
}
select {
max-width: 100%;
}
Resetting the width properties to the defaults does nothing:
fieldset {
width: auto;
min-width: 0;
max-width: none;
}
Further CSS in which I try and fail to fix the problem:
/* try lots of things to fix the width, with no success: */
fieldset {
display: block;
min-width: 0;
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
text-overflow: clip;
}
div.wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
select {
overflow: hidden;
}
More details
The problem also occurs in this more comprehensive, more complicated jsFiddle example, which is more similar to the web page I’m actually trying to fix. You can see from that that the <select> is not the problem – an inline-block div also fails to resize. Though this example is more complicated, I assume that the fix for the simple case above will also fix this more complicated case.
[Edit: see browser support details below.]
One curious thing about this problem is that if you set div.wrapper { width: 50%; }, the <fieldset> stops resizing itself at the point then the full-size <select> would have hit the edge of the viewport. The resizing happens as if the <select> has width: 100%, even though the <select> looks like it has width: 50%.
If you give the <select> itself width: 50%, that behavior does not occur; the width is simply correctly set.
I don’t understand the reason for that difference. But it may not be relevant.
I also found the very similar question HTML fieldset allows children to expand indefinitely. The asker couldn’t find a solution and guesses that there is no solution apart from removing the <fieldset>. But I’m wondering, if it really is impossible to make the <fieldset> display right, why is that? What in <fieldset>’s spec or default CSS (as of this question) causes this behavior? This special behavior is probably be documented somewhere, since multiple browsers work like this.
Background goal and requirements
The reason I’m trying to do this is as part of writing mobile styles for an existing page with a big form. The form has multiple sections, and one part of it is wrapped in a <fieldset>. On a smartphone (or if you make your browser window small), the part of the page with the <fieldset> is much wider than the rest of the form. Most of the form constrains its width just fine, but the section with the <fieldset> does not, forcing the user to zoom out or scroll right to see all of that section.
I’m wary of simply removing the <fieldset>, as it is generated on many pages in a big app, and I’m not sure what selectors in CSS or JavaScript might depend on it.
I can use JavaScript if I need to, and a JavaScript solution is better than nothing. But if JavaScript is the only way to do this, I’d be curious to hear an explanation for why this is not possible using only CSS and HTML.
Edit: browser support
On the site, I need to support Internet Explorer 8 and later (we just dropped support for IE7), the latest Firefox, and the latest Chrome. This particular page should also work on iOS and Android smartphones. Slightly degraded but still usable behavior is acceptable for Internet Explorer 8.
I retested my broken fieldset example on different browsers. It actually already works in these browsers:
Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10
Chrome
Chrome for Android
It breaks in these browsers:
Firefox
Firefox for Android
Internet Explorer 7
Thus, the only browser I care about that the current code breaks in is Firefox (on both desktop and mobile). If the code were fixed so it worked in Firefox without breaking it in any other browsers, that would solve my problem.
The site HTML template uses Internet Explorer conditional comments to add classes such .ie8 and .oldie to the <html> element. You can use those classes in your CSS if you need to work around styling differences in IE. The classes added are the same as in this old version of HTML5 Boilerplate.
Update (25 Sept 2017)
The Firefox bug described below is fixed as of Firefox 53 and the link to this answer has finally been removed from Bootstrap's documentation.
Also, my sincere apologies to the Mozilla contributors who had to block removing support for -moz-document partly due to this answer.
The fix
In WebKit and Firefox 53+, you just set min-width: 0; on the fieldset to override the default value of min-content.¹
Still, Firefox is a bit… odd when it comes to fieldsets. To make this work in earlier versions, you must change the display property of the fieldset to one of the following values:
table-cell (recommended)
table-column
table-column-group
table-footer-group
table-header-group
table-row
table-row-group
Of these, I recommend table-cell. Both table-row and table-row-group prevent you from changing width, while table-column and table-column-group prevent you from changing height.
This will (somewhat reasonably) break rendering in IE. Since only Gecko needs this, you can justifiably use #-moz-document—one of Mozilla's proprietary CSS extensions—to hide it from other browsers:
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
fieldset {
display: table-cell;
}
}
(Here's a jsFiddle demo.)
That fixes things, but if you're anything like me your reaction was something like…
What.
There is a reason, but it's not pretty.
The default presentation of the fieldset element is absurd and essentially impossible to specify in CSS. Think about it: the fieldset's border disappears where it's overlapped by a legend element, but the background remains visible! There's no way to reproduce this with any other combination of elements.
To top it off, implementations are full of concessions to legacy behaviour. One such is that the minimum width of a fieldset is never less than the intrinsic width of its content. WebKit gives you a way to override this behaviour by specifying it in the default stylesheet, but Gecko² goes a step further and enforces it in the rendering engine.
However, internal table elements constitute a special frame type in Gecko. Dimensional constraints for elements with these display values set are calculated in a separate code path, entirely circumventing the enforced minimum width imposed on fieldsets.
Again—the bug for this has been fixed as of Firefox 53, so you do not need this hack if you are only targeting newer versions.
Is using #-moz-document safe?
For this one issue, yes. #-moz-document works as intended in all versions of Firefox up until 53, where this bug is fixed.
This is no accident. Due in part to this answer, the bug to limit #-moz-document to user/UA stylesheets was made dependent on the underlying fieldset bug being fixed first.
Beyond this, do not use #-moz-document to target Firefox in your CSS, other resources notwithstanding.³

Safari on iOS issue with selected answer
I found the answer from Jordan Gray to be particularly helpful.
However it didn't seem to solve this issue on Safari iOS for me.
The issue for me is simply that the fieldset cannot have an auto width if the element within has a max-width as a % width.
Fix for issue
Simply setting the fieldset to have a 100% width of it's container seems to get around this issue.
Example
fieldset {
min-width: 0;
width: 100%;
}
Please refer to the below for working examples - if you remove the % width off the fieldset or replace it with auto, it will not continue to function.
JSFiddle | Codepen
I’ve struggled for many hours with this, and basically, the browser is applying computed styling that you need to override in your CSS. I forget the exact property that is being set on fieldset elements versus divs (perhaps min-width?).
My best advice would be to change your element to a div, copy the computed styles from your inspector, then change your element back to fieldset and compare the computed styles to find the culprit.
Hope that helps.
Update: Adding display: table-cell helps in non-Chrome browsers.
.fake-select { white-space:nowrap; } caused the fieldset to interpret the .fake-select element by its original width, rather than its forced width (even when the overflow is hidden).
Remove that rule, and change .fake-select's max-width:100% to just width:100% and everything fits. The caveat is that you see all of the content of the fake-select, but I don't think this is all that bad, and it fits horizontally now.
Update: with the current rules in the following fiddle (which contains only real selects), the fieldset's children are constrained to correct widths. Other than removing rules for .fake-select and fixing comments (from // comment to /* comment */, I've noted changes in the fiddle's CSS.
I understand your problem better now, and the fiddle reflects some progress. I set default rules for all <select>s, and reserve .xxlarge for those which you know will be wider than 480px (and this only works because you know the width of #viewport, and can manually add the class to those too wide. Just requires a little bit of testing)

apply css to html but not iframe html

I'm making a user stylesheet for the add-on 'stylish.'
It applies a semi-transparent dark box over the entire page for night-browsing.
I'm using:
html:before {
content:url()!important;
position:fixed!important;
width:100%!important;
height:100%!important;
top:0!important;
left:0!important;
background:rgba(2,3,3,.35)!important;
z-index:99999999999999999!important;
pointer-events:none!important;
}
to create the fixed, overlying div.
This works just fine, however, if there are any iframes in the site, it will apply this code into the iframes' HTML as well as you can see here:
because these social networking widgets rely on an IFRAME, its repeating the code into those pages, creating a double-overlaying of the semi transparent dark box i've made.
the desired look would be:
I've tried hack-ish things, like applying a much-higher z-index to iframes and specifying the background-color and background of * of anything in the iframes to 'white' and 'opaque' so that it 'floats' on top of the parent html page, but this doesn't work perfectly. i've also tried something like:
html:not(iframe):before{}
but this also doesn't work. I'm wondering if there is a way to do what I'm trying to do in a way that doesn't rely on 'html:before' to create the same effect, or if there's a way to do that but not have it repeat inside the html of iframes on a page.
I've exhausted my efforts trying to get this to work, so any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.
Unfortunately, there is no way using CSS to target only the contents of an iframe from within the source of the iframe, i.e. the page that contains the iframe element.
I'm assuming, since you're using Stylish, that your CSS is in a Firefox user stylesheet. If so, you may have to look at the source URLs of those iframes, create a #-moz-document rule targeting those URLs at their domains, and remove the html:before pseudo-element accordingly.
Something like this, which should go beneath what you already have:
#-moz-document domain(/* Facebook Like */),
domain(/* Tweet Button */),
domain(/* Google +1 */)
{
html:before
{
content: none !important;
}
}
The content: none declaration disables the pseudo-element, preventing it from being rendered.
Having to exclude specific domains in this manner means this method is extremely limited and not very versatile at all, but it's the best I can think of.
You may want to try a different route:
html {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 2000px rgba(2, 3, 3, .35) !important;
}
Demo
This way the webpage is still useable when the user's browser doesn't support pointer-events.
You may also want to checkout this question: CSS - max z-index value
To apply these styles to only the parent document's <html> element, and not to iframes, simply apply the box-shadow to document.documentElement with JS:
document.documentElement.style.boxShadow = "inset 0 0 0 2000px rgba(2, 3, 3, .35) !important";
Edit:
I don't know about the addon thing but you could give your HTML tag an ID and target it that way, although if you want this to apply to all pages then that's an issue
or maybe use html:first-child ? I honestly don't know what will happen, you can give it a try though
CSS doesn't allow you to style HTML inside an iframe. Since you're using an add-on, this is a non-standard implementation of CSS. Styles are not inherited by iframes, because an iframe is basically a new browser window. The add-on is adding the style to every HTML page in the browser window. There's no way for the browser to know that a page is inside an iframe (at least not in a way that's accessible via CSS).

HTML Multiple classes on button element

I understand that elements can have multiple classes:
.rfrsh-btn {
background-image:url(../../upload/rfrsh_nb_grey.png);
...
}
.submit
{
font-size: 0.85em;
padding: 0;
}
This was working perfectly as an ID before. now I changed it to a class and lo and behold, no images.
But for some reason this <button> element doesn't seem to want to display with a background image and styles applied.
Is there a reason for this? Or am I codeblind and doing something wrong.
I can't use ID either as it's repeated many times on the page.
Thanks all :)
There are several reasons. For instance, it's quite possible your image path is not correct. It 's worth noting that paths in CSS are relative to the .css file 's location, and not to the including page.
To better understand what's going on now and in the future, however, I recommend either working with Chrome, which offers a nice set of debugging tools, or use Firefox with Firebug installed. This way you can inspect your elements and see what styles get applied, overlapped, or any images the browser cannot locate.

Underscores in class names can cause issues. Try renaming rfrsh_btn.
