Rendering inconsistencies in Internet Explorer - html

I have some weird problem in rendering some xhtml in IE 8 http://img709.imageshack.us/i/scrj.png/.
Here is the screenshot. As shown the greet me submit button is higher than the text field. Which is kind of odd. I checked with some other browsers and it works fine, it also works fine on Windows 7 with IE 8.
Here is the code for the site:

and the reset I'm using

I'm really puzzled by this strange behaviour. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

If x = height of the text field, set the submit button's HEIGHT and LINE-HEIGHT to x.

Internet Explorer crashes with specific input on a hidden textarea

NOTE: If you follow the steps below on IE11 (haven't tried other IE versions) it may crash your browser. So be prepared for that.
Open up my sample at http://jsfiddle.net/b8JZq/2/
I have a simple setup with a textarea hidden by default (via css style) and a button that shows the textarea.
Click on the button to show the text area.
In the textarea, enter only new line characters.
Click outside the textarea.
This consistently causes my IE11 to crash. Works fine on Chrome, Safari, FF versions I have tried.
Entering any other text apart from new lines only does not cause the issue. Problem also does not happen if the textarea was visible to begin with. Is there a workaround to this?
Now this is a known bug for the IE team: http://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/808986/ie-11-entering-value-with-newline-in-textarea-crashes-browser

IE Display Issue for width of <td>

All,
I basically have two identical pages from a coding perspective. The first page is:
http://tinyurl.com/7rv59q3
The second page is:
http://tinyurl.com/7a7zyp8
However, in the second one IE adds extra spacing between the image and the other text. Does anyone have any idea why it would do this? In Chrome, Safari, FF it displays perfectly fine.
I can't inspect elements in IE because it isn't there so I'm not sure what is wrong. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Older versions of internet explorer do not correctly ignore whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines, etc) when rendering pages. Your second example has a number of tabs after the image, which causes older versions of IE (or IE9 in compatibility mode) to put extra space after the image.

Chromium doesn't render <pre> tag correctly?

Firefox 3 and 4 renders this page nicely (I get a horizontally-scrollable view, instead of an overlap), but both Epiphany and Chromium don't. What's up with the inconsistency? Is this a bug in WebKit?
The scroll isn't showing up in IE 8 either.
Considering the area doesn't have an overflow setting my guess is that Firefox is defaulting to overflow:scroll while the others have defaulted to overflow:none.
You might try explicitly setting that in your style sheet.

How do i render html/css same in firefox and IE

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.

Weird IE7 Bug/Error

I'm having some problems with a certain piece of code which sits in my site; this error only occurs in Internet Explorer 7.
Rather than post all my HTML/CSS markup here I have put up a version of the site here.
As you can see I have "Widgets" in columns, for some reason IE7 adds an extra space under the Widget Header while FF displays it fine without any space.
This error does not occur in IE8, FF3, Opera, Safari or Chrome.
Can anyone suggest why this occurring and if possible, a fix?
Thanks in advance!
Add this css to wgt-wrap and it should behave.

Google for hasLayout for explanation.
[EDIT] This discussion provides more insight into this IE bug. Why does Internet Explorer need the "hasLayout" flag?
Unfortunately IE 7 doesn't run very well on Ubuntu so I'm unable to reproduce your error, but have you tried resetting your CSS with a stylesheet like Reset CSS?
There is also a great site about browser quirks that you might want to have a look at.
Did you start by zero'ing out all of your element by doing a CSS reset? I see you have a few different elements in your div, it's possible that one of these has a default marin in IE7 that is throwing everything out of wack...
