The code below render differently between firefox and google chrome (opera and safari render similar to google chrome)
I am not sure what is the cause of it, but I would prefer the firefox rendering, because the parent node of the tree structure spread from the middle rather than top.
Could you point out what I have done wrong here?
Many Thanks & Kind Regards
Andy

I can't quite tell, but it's probably due to a tag closed improperly, and being interpreted slightly differently by the html parser in Firefox and Chrome

So while trying to help a friend with there wordpress website I noticed something very strange in regards to the "inspect element" tool in IE vs other browers. When I inspect the title of his blog post with IE's inspect element tool it proceeds to say that the element I'm inspecting is an h1 tag. But when I inspect that same element in other web browsers like firefox and chrome, their inspect element tools say its an h2 tag. What the heck is going on? Is it something wrong with IE? I don't understand how two different browsers come up with two differents answers for HTML elements. Thanks for any input.
Each browser use different rendering engines so expect that each browser will render pages differently.
IE uses an engine called Trident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_(layout_engine)
Safari use Webkit:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit
Google's Chrome now use Blink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(layout_engine)
Firefox uses the Gecko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(software)
The only thing I could come up with is that it may be conditional based on which browser you're viewing the page from, and that IE is not the best anyway.
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.
Hey guys, i have recently created a HTML page but it is appearing differently in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. I have uploaded the page on ripway. Here is the URL http://h1.ripway.com/gurusmith/My%20site/Index/index.html
Please watch the page in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox and after watching you will find that the page is appearing fine in Internet Explorer but not in Mozilla Firefox. Can anyone tell where i have made the problems. If anyone can edit the source code and post the correct source code here which works fine in both the browsers then i will be really thankful to you.
Sorry, i can't post the source code and the outputs due to restrictions but i have given the link above for the page. So please do visit it and help me.
Your page is not even remotely valid HTML. For one thing, you have two body elements.
Check out W3C Validation of your page for more problems.
If a browser gets invalid HTML it makes its best guess at what the DOM should be (as opposed to a deterministic interpretation). Since browsers are designed by independent teams, these interpretations will differ. Then, when it comes to applying CSS, variations are bond to occur.
Get your HTML in order and then see what happens.
Older versions of IE are known to display pages slightly differently than most "modern" browsers. A quick Google search turned up the following lists of common differences:

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.
