I'm working on a website and in Safari it looks perfect (I Work on Mac).
In firefox and IE it isn't looking good.

Could someone help me?
Greetings,
Nico
I see what you are talking about.
To fix your code:
Get rid of the tables, remember CSS is your friend
Don't abuse tables for layout
Do use error checking tools
Opera has a good introductory tutorial.
I'm looking at it in firefox 3.5.6 under windows 7 and I don't see anything wrong with it. Could you be more specific with the problem that's occurring though? It's hard tell what space problem your referring too.
On a more general note, if your going to be doing web development you had best be ready to have your site look different in different browsers. It's something we all have to deal with.

I have just completed a new Shopify website and used mainly Mozilla Firefox to put this together. I have been told by the client that the site doesn't show up properly in Chrome and Safari but when I have checked this on my 13" laptop they both appear fine on there and I was just wondering if anyone can give me any tips on how I can ensure that the site is working on all common browsers without having any issues.
Would appreciate any tips as I know there are paid websites to do this but just wondering if there is anything else that I can do to get this fixed.
If you to the safari developers "dropdown" in the status bar the is an option called "User agent" (the second one) from there you can "change" the browser.
Disclaimer: never actually used this function.
I believe that the best way to handle this would be to download and install all browsers to test.
There is a free service from the Microsoft dev site that gives you screenshots from a couple of different browsers and versions. Here is the link -> https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/screenshots/
It's not as good as installing all browsers to fully test everything but it can give you a rough idea if there's something wrong with css or something like that.
Your issue might be related to different browser versions. Double check to make sure that you are on the same version to see if you can reproduce the issue.
So i've been working on this website ( http://iulian.cablevision.ro/fc-botosani )and my layout in chrome and firefox seems to be ok. But when i open in Internet explorer 8 it's like a disaster... everything is messed up. Can't find why and how to fix this problem.
I've found one of the most useful things for sorting out Internet Explorer problems is running the site through the W3C Validator:
http://validator.w3.org/
Often just fixing whatever the validator says is wrong, even the simple stuff, corrects issues in IE. Good luck!
Without much details, we won't be able to help you. What did you try to do? Do you have an idea? You can use the site caniuse.com to find the problem by entering a CSS property or HTML tag. First of all, look at your CSS to find the problematic rule.
The website I'm working on is currently working fully on latest chrome which is what I'm using, but when I use tools like IE NetRender to check its compatibility with older IE versions, the site comes up plain, with no styling AT ALL!
However, IE8 is on a completely different level. The site is looking almost as good as it's on chrome/firefox/whatever.
I tried using IE9.js, modernizr, IE Hacks, everything - but nothing worked.
Somehow it all seems to take effect only on IE8+.
It's as if IE7- don't even load the stylesheet.
I also checked my code for errors in the CSS/HTML markup but all of the errors point at the IE css hacks.
What could possibly be the cause to this? I'm literally frustrated with it.
The site (just a development page) is http://kanjiman.0zed.com/
Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
Please try to render the page using IE NetRender and see what I'm talking about.
P.S; I did try to Google/search for a solution - but in none the situation was as bad as mine.
EDIT:
The problem was IE9.js - I found this out thanks to Fabio's answer.
Whether you want to keep it or not is up to your project requirements and your priorities.
I personally am going to keep it since as both Rob / Felis commented, IE versions 6/7 are DYING! I'd rather provide a better user experience for now rather than supporting and spending more time with older browsers.
Also, this is only a matter of about 3 lines, so if your site starts to gain more IE7 traffic (I doubt it will even worth it), it's always changeable.
Thanks Rob, Felis and Fabio :)!
This is what i see in Internet Explorer 7
<style _7="
article,aside,figcaption,figure,footer,header,hgroup,nav,section{display:block}mark{background:#FF0;color:#000}">CSS Stylesheet</style>
this is what should be there:
<style>
article,aside,figcaption,figure,footer,header,hgroup,nav,section{display:block}mark{background:#FF0;color:#000}</style>
For some reason, you are assigning the style as an attribute for the style tag making it useless for internet explorer. Why dont you use css files for styling instead of mixing it with the html source code?
Hope it helps
I am developing the follow website:
http://di20studios.com/2012/royalpack/
All works fine in Mozilla Firefox and IE 8, but Safari, Opera and Google Chrome don't like my display:table-*CSS...
The display:table-* is at header and bottom.
What I want? Continuous background:
Can you enter the website and see this issue in action? How I can solve this?
Check this out, I believe you will find your problem is similar.
This is an unconfirmed webkit bug. My only suggestion would be to make sure you are using an HTML5 doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html>
From John Resig:
What’s nice about this new DOCTYPE, especially, is that all current browsers (IE, FF, Opera, Safari) will look at it and switch the content into standards mode – even though they don’t implement HTML5. This means that you could start writing your web pages using HTML5 today and have them last for a very, very, long time.
Also, I might suggest you NOT use this method (display:table-*) unless it is the ONLY solution (which is never :P). There are many known issues with this method, one being that it is not supported in IE7.
A plausible solution would be to use floating to achieve this. You will need to change the transparency over the images for the repeat-x to overlay properly. I edited the images so you can see a working example. As long as you MAKE sure to clear after the header-container, you shouldn't run into any issues using float. PS, this works in IE7+ :]
Can you enter the website and see this issue in action?
If the question is as above, then my answer is: Yes, yes I can. I am using Google Chrome 18.0.1025.162 on Linux.
I've had to work on a fairly complex design ( http://scoding.com/eyal/ ) because of its layout and shape, finally done it, all happy - until I checked on IE, it's seriously messed up, but why is that? Why is the container not centered? I have looked on google for some answers, and didn't find anything that could help, ANY HELP would be appreciated!
IE is rendering the page in 'quirks mode' (if you press F12 in IE you'll see the 'document mode' defaults to quirks).
Set a doctype like:
<!doctype html>
And all will be well!
For bonus points, run it through the W3C Validator and fix the errors it flags!
This is one of the reasons that every web designer hates IE.. ;-)
Unfortunately, there is no magic answer for you. You have to get the right tools and test every browser you want to support and fix the CSS for every broswer.
Not all browsers interpret CSS in the same way. But IE is the one most people will have problems with.
Hints:
Try using a CSS framework. Blueprint or CSS960 are among the most popular IMO. With a framework, you have a better chance of having the same result in every browser.
For IE, you can download the developer toolbar. It's like Firefox's Firebug but for IE. It is essential to debug CSS problems in IE.
Take note that if you want to support IE6,7,8 you will have to test them all :-( Because you will probably have different results in each version.
If you use JavaScript, I highly recommend jQuery. Never write "native" JavaScript code since it is interpreted differently in each browser. jQuery takes care of that and ensures that your code will be cross-browser compatible.
Good luck
