So I'm stuck with this annoying and minor IE8 problem. When I'm scrolling it seems like IE cuts off some piece of my H1 titles. I made a video so it's clear what is happening.
The HTML & CSS are very large, so before I'm going to include all the HTML and CSS I would like to know if someone knows an possible cause. Or maybe it's an known IE problem?
The titles (BRACELETS, NECKLACES, ..) are H1´s with z-index set to 999.
The video can be found here http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/607/wcw.mp4/
A live code sample would be great to explore. My only guess based on the video (which is very helpful in this scenario nice!), is that IE8 is choking and lagging on rendering items as you are scrolling. Is there any markup changes tied to scroll events or perhaps some CSS "fixed" items on your page?
i know it's a very old question but i think it could help others
I found myself having the same problem with a free-for-commercial-use font
The solution i found was playing around with the line-height CSS property
In some sports setting it to the height of the div, in others to the font-size, in others to a little bit more than that
In my experience it changes from font to font and from font-size to font-size

I have a disturbing problem with tables in IE ...
I created a Joomla! Template combined with bootstrap.
The customer created the content of the joomla! website.
You can find my problem here:
(link removed)
When you look at it in Firefox or other browsers you can see that everything is fine.
But when you look at it in Internet Explorer (I hate that browser), you can see, that the tables with the grey background are not shown correctly. They have to much width. Texts are cut off.
I tried a lot things and tested different solutions from the Internet. But I can't find a solution for that.
Your problem is caused by your large image at the bottom (connectivity2_big-photo.jpg). While you've set the height and width on the image, the CSS has the height and width set to 'auto' which is pushing the dimensions to a maximum possible size in IE.
Either use an appropriately sized image or remove width:auto and height:auto from the img declaration and everything works again.
I suspect this has more to do with using XHTML 1.0 Transitional: IE's reverting to 1997, but that's what you're asking for!
Apologies to inflict an IE6 post on everyone - posting in the hope that someone will have had experience of these issues. I don't have a link for now unfortunately, but the first issue is that occasionally images are stretched without keeping aspect ratio - the images have their height and width defined in the tag, then in the css file their width is set to be a little smaller than that. Sometimes the images load fine, sometimes really badly stretched. Any ideas what is happening here? Fine in all other browsers.
The other issue, which I've not come across before, is that some pages on my site need a refresh of the page for floated elements to align properly. Is there a reason why this could happen in IE6?
Thanks, and apologies again :)
I've checked other questions on here but I haven't found anything that will help me.
Since FireFox 4 was released I've been having an issue with the menu on my website.
www.ffxivinfo.com
As you can see, the menu is supposed to fit along the little graphic buttons so that each link is on the "button". In Chrome, IE8 (not checked 9) and FireFox 3.5 this looked perfect. However since FireFox 4 it has been displaying wrong.
It looks like it's a padding issue but I can't figure out where it is coming from. I have even removed the padding between each link so that they are close together (0 padding) yet the menu still stretches further to the right in FireFox 4+ than in other browsers.
I use the auto generated menus available at purecssmenu.com and I modified it to fit my own website.
Here is a link to just the nav code, I use a PHP include to insert it.
http://www.ffxivinfo.com/nav.php
And here is a link to the CSS for it.
http://www.ffxivinfo.com/navstyle.css
Basically I need the navigation to look the same in all browsers so that it fits into the graphic "buttons". I'm tempted to just scrap the current design and go with a simple gradient background and leave the menu wider in FireFox 4+ than other browsers but that's a bit defeatist.
Any help would be much appreciated. This is the first time a coding problem has sent me to a forum asking for help but I just can't figure this one out.
I believe the problem is not in your margins but due to the differences in text rendering between the browsers. In this case, Firefox is rendering the text slightly wider.
If I might suggest an alternative, rather than using an image background and hoping for pixel-perfect rendering (which is pretty unlikely given the diversity of browsers and operating systems out there) try styling the links themselves with background-color and border-radius.
I don't see the problem in FF6. However, I see you specify your font size in pt. pt is for print, not the web. Try changing that to px and see if that fixes your situation.
I might ignore the Firefox 4 issue.
FF is now on version 6.
Your issue does not appear in FF3.5 (the most widely used FF) or FF6, both of which have more browser share than FF4.

If you look at this page in IE7:
[redacted]
If you hover over one of the lines in the chart, you can see the little yellow popup stretches across the page. It shouldn't and doesn't in other browsers. Can somebody tell me why this is happening in IE7?
For what it's worth, I can fix it by specifying a width for that div with CSS. I'm just curious why it's happening 'cause the client will ask!
Ok... firstly - that code is clearly very old. I can tell, because it's sniffing to see whether or not your browser is IE4 (yes, that's a four). Unfortunately, it considers that any IE browser is IE4...
If it detects IE4, it then goes on to set the width of the layer it creates to be the same width as the window - which is why it's so horribly wide for you.
As you've discovered, you should be able to add some CSS to override that width yourself.
I'm using CSS3PIE to apply some rounded corners to elements in Internet Explorer that will get them by stylesheet in other browsers. I've run into some issues with it though.
In IE8, I discovered that any element that had the PIE behaviour would behave strangely. The container would jump a few pixels to the right, but the content would stay in its original position, giving the appearance that the content had all shifted left relative to its container. This would be especially problematic on elements with no or small amounts of padding.
I was able to hack my way around the problem in IE8 by using X-UA-Compatible, but I'd rather avoid this solution if at all possible. I don't have access to IE9 for testing but my understanding hacks like PIE aren't necessary and it would be wasteful to force a compatibility mode in a browser that doesn't need it.
I have worse issues in IE6, with the PIE layout breaking down completely on a list that is set up to use display:inline; zoom:1; list items (to simulate inline-block, which works in IE8 and the other browsers). Here the borders of the list items get rendered in completely the wrong place.
So ideally, I'd like to have PIE work properly in IE6, and in IE8 without having to resort to compatibility mode. As far as IE6 goes, a graceful fallback where PIE is just not applied will do. IE7 is the only browser where the page displays as intended.
I can't provide an example page just at the moment unfortunately, I can add one later though.
Follow up:
Here are some screen grabs made with IE Tester. I'm hoping they will make things a little more clear for everybody. As you can see, IE7 is fine. However, in IE8, the containers are offset to the left relative to their content, and in IE6 the list elements (with the rounded 1 pixel border) are a complete mess!
Full size versions for IE8, IE7 and IE6 are also available
Followup 2
Here's a link to a demo page.
As other designers are working on the stylesheets and other parts of the design I can't promise it will remain fully reflective for very long, but hopefully it will for long enough to solve the problem. (Yes, I'm aware there's JS errors in IE6, those aren't my problem).

I was experiencing a similar issue with IE8. The elements PIE was applied to would first display 10-20px lower, then jump up to the proper position.
Applying the rule "display: inline" to the element seemed to stop the issue.
"Position: relative;" and "zoom: 1" on the element or parent element seemed to have no effect.
It's a bit weird. Once the rule "display: inline" is applied, the issue dissappears on
refresh. But if you remove the rule, it still looks okay on refresh, until you
close and reopen the browser window - then the jumping reappears.
Hope that helps someone.
Try adding
position:relative;
z-index: 0;
