css Hover problem in chrome and safari - html

This is the site which has a problem
http://www.clubforeducation.com/
Top menu will change its color at mouse over. All browsers except chrome and Safari. Is it a Webkit bug. If that how can i solve this?

I find setting display:block on the <a> works. I don't recommend li:hover because it doesn't work in IE6

Seems like a webkit hover behavior thingy.
Check this out:
CSS Hover + Element crashing in webkit (Chrome, Safari)
Changing/ the selector from
.menu_center ul li a:hover
to
.menu_center ul li:hover a
Or combining both:
.menu_center ul li a:hover,
.menu_center ul li:hover a
{ .... }
works for me.

I found that adding href="#" works as a temporary fix. Seems like this is a pretty recent development.

Usually the best fix is to add -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0)on the elements that have the transition in Safari. I've got the same problem and fix it Hover bugs with :before On Safari

Weird hover behavior in IE 11 and Firefox

I have a fairly simple hover effect on a span inside a button
HTML:
<span class="content">text</span>
CSS:
span.content:hover {
background-color: #2b9385;
background-image: linear-gradient(#2b9385, #007571);
color: red;
}
When I hover over the span, it works fine in Edge and Chrome. In Firefox and IE 11, nothing happens.
Here is the weird part. If I use the dev. tools and inspect the element with hover checked, the CSS changes to the correct values and the background of the span changes correctly on the screen, it just doesn't work when I actually hover over it with the mouse. If I add "color:blue" to the hover section, the text color changes as it should when I hover over it, only the background part doesn't work.
I've tried adding vendor prefixes to the linear gradient part, but it didn't help (and shouldn't be needed in either case). Using #hex color values also didn't help.
Any clues appreciated.
I've added a Pen so you can see that it works in Chrome but not in FF. If you inspect the .content span in Firebug and click on the hover checkbox, the styles will be applied correctly, even though hovering over the button does nothing.
Pen
Just try this. It will definitely help.
.progress-button:hover span#button_content.content {
background-color: #2b9385;
background-image: linear-gradient(#2b9385, #007571);
cursor: pointer;
color: red;
}
I think you are missing colon(:) so just try this
background-image:(red, orange);

Why does text-decoration: underline not work?

On a a website I am currently working on, I have issues with underlining links on hover. Although declaring text-decoration: underline on hovering links, it doesn't work properly. I can't explain it myself.
Look at the website itself (it's the links on the bottom right corner): http://nils.zamaitat.de/#contact
It's the same with the dropdown menu "Projects" on the home section: The links that fade in can't handle the underlining properly as well: http://nils.zamaitat.de/#home
This is what I have in my CSS:
section.contact .links ul > li a:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
}
nav ul li ul > li a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
Thank you very much in advance!
You have text-decoration: none; in style.css. This CSS is telling the browser to render all hyperlinks with no text decoration. You'll need to override that CSS by supplying the !important declaration.
So for the links that you would like to be underlined, simply add the !important declaration to its corresponding CSS ID or Class.
Example
Change from:
a.exampleLinkClass{text-decoration:underline}
to this:
a.exampleLinkClass{text-decoration:underline !important}
Line 444 of style.css:
.contact div.links ul > li a
That's how the links in the bottom right are being initially styled. That means in order to override it, even when triggering it in an altered state, you need to call it by the same identifier inititially used with :hover appended to it, or you need to use text-decoration: underline !important; to force the rule to take place.
This situation is very common when css is overscoped and overcomplicated. It becomes easy to lose track of what identifier was targeted to which element.
.contact div.links ul > li a could be changed to just .contact .links a since you're using single level li elements and not a dropdown there.
Hope that helps.
Your CSS is just fine, no problems there.
Its the font - its not working properly in webkit browsers - It looks fine in firefox. Try changing the font to for example Helvetica and it works fine.
Now why its not working - pfff dunno ;D Never seen that font before.
EDIT: Ahhh its prolly your font-face, you have only supplied a eot file. From css3please.com:
#font-face {
font-family: 'WebFont';
src: url('myfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Chrome 4+, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10+, Safari 3—5 */
}
So you need to supply a woff type also - you can generate it on fontsquirrel.com

Opacity hover effect not working correct in IE

I have this simple hover effect http://www.mysecretathens.gr/Sera/index.html
#footer ul li:hover {
opacity: 0.7;
filter: alpha(opacity=40);
}
in the social media icons down in the footer, but in IE I see a blue-border all around each of the icons. How to fix that? Do you also see this?
I don't see it, but I suppose they are <a> anchor tags. So for IE you would have to add border:0px; for the anchor tags which are your social media icons.
If you have a link around an image IE automatically puts a border around it.
To remove blue border Add a { border: 0 } in your CSS
Add this to your css:
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=70)";
Edit: add it before filter: alpha(opacity=40);
if you have an link (anchor), it is the standard of internet explorer. in this case you have to reset the border with:
a {
border :none;
}
or
a {
border :0px;
}
and for the next time, i recommend you jsfiddle where you can put easily your code to run and debug it on the site for questions here.

HTML/CSS IE Not displaying my dropdown menu z-index related

For some reason I cannot display the dropdown menu on IE when I add a z-index in the header of any number. When I remove it, it works. However the dropdown then appears behind the container and content in Firefox and Chrome. So either I take it out or leave it in, I cant seem to satisfy all browsers. So i tried making a separate IE stylesheet without the z-index but that doesnt work either. I know the separate IE CSS is working because I changed the backgrounds but it uses the dropdown menu in the master stylesheet.
Website is www.stingrayimages.ca
Thank you for your help
Edit: So lets just say i got it all to work on IE since its always IE that gives the problems. But now the dropdown menu appears behind the content on other browsers like firefox and chrome. All i did was remove the z-index in the #head div. Anyway to fix the dropdown menu without adding z-index to the head div?
Edit: I got the dropdown to work on IE9 firefox and chrome. Not IE 6, it just blew up.
#head {
position:relative;
height: 140px;
width: 100%;
background: #FFF;
filter:alpha(opacity=93);
padding-top:20px;
/* CSS3 standard */
opacity:0.93;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px black;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px black;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px black;
z-index:1;
}
OK so I had a look and there's good news and bad ;)
the opacity filter in the #head div means that overflow: hidden is being triggered, which is why no menus (it's the unfortunate side effect of filters and overflow I'm afraid).. remove that and you can have your z-index which you need anyway
next to get the transparency (opacity) for your dropdowns you can just use rgba(255,255,255,0.9) on the #nav ul li ul rule instead of #fff; (though leave #fff before that rule for fallback for browsers that can't do rgba() yet.. read more!)
That's nearly everyone happy - now you can also do rgba() transparency for IE using the gradient filter..
so the rule I landed up with looked like this (in an IE conditional comment):
#nav ul li ul {
zoom: 1;
background: transparent;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#E5FFFFFF,endColorstr=#E5FFFFFF)"; /* IE8 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#E5FFFFFF,endColorstr=#E5FFFFFF); /* IE6 & 7 */
/* behavior: url(PIE.htc);*/ /* yuk filter */
}
and I thought it would be good to go..
BUT the Bad News
the behavior is commented out because you can only have one or the other, transparency or rounded corners, :( apparently
I didn't do too much research though so YMMV
I also noticed a problem or three in IE7, not sure if you want to support that but in case you do.. or want to check my final code which got it to this stage I pasted it in PasteBin
that code replaces your main CSS - the #head rule and whole /*navigation*/ section
Update: more good news and a little bad!
you can have the transparency and the rounded corners thanks to CSS3 PIE's own -pie-background property, but not the box shadow as well, the way PIE deals with box shadow means it fills the div instead of just drawing on the outside so the -pie-background reading of the rgba background is transparent but shows the grey color used for the shadow!
My solution:
I added a border to make up for loss of box-shadow, it's not looking too bad, and it's working across IE's ;)
here's an update to the I conditional comment above:
<!--[if lte IE 9]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
#nav ul li ul {
box-shadow: none;
-pie-background: rgba(255,255,255,0.9);
border: 3px double #eee;
border-width: 0 3px 3px 3px;
behavior: url(PIE.htc); /* yuk filter */
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
I am not sure which version of IE you are having a problem with but I tried in IE6 and IE7 and the menu system is completely broken. I don't have IE8, 9 or 10 here to test but I'll take a guess at a solution nonetheless!
If you add a z-index and position to the #container as well, it should solve your problem. z-index only applies to positioned elements.
#container {
position:relative;
z-index:0;
}
It is also worth reading Overlapping and z-index, which summarises the properties and also describes the problems when using z-index and IE.
Edit: Wow, I did not realise what was wrong until I found a machine with IE8 on it. I think you have misunderstood the standard CSS and IE specific CSS principle slightly. The IE specific CSS file(s) should only contain the properties that are different to the standard ones. Your ie-style.css file contains duplicates of all the rules and is being included for all versions of IE. IE8 is much more standards compliant than IE6/7 and you should rarely have to override CSS for that version.
So IE will have multiple copies of the same style being applied. Under normal circumstances most browsers can cope with this duplication, however one of the duplicates is the IE specific filter property.
You have filter:alpha(opacity=93); in both style.css and ie-style.css even though it should really only belong in an IE6/7 CSS file as IE8 filters work differently. If you remove the filter from both stylesheets then the menu correctly displays in IE8.
If you need the opacity to work in IE6 or IE7, I suggest creating a specific CSS file for those browsers and using conditional comments to include it just for those versions.
Have a look at this solution : http://webdemar.com/webdesign/superfish-jquery-menu-ie-z-index-bug/
Another solution that I used already is quite easy, but a pain in the *. You must all the parent container a specific lower z-index value than the one you want to show on top of the others.
Like so :
<parent>//z-index 1
<child>//zindex 2
<yourdropdown>//z-index3
Update 1
The menu didn't show correctly in my chrome so I fixed the #head z-index to 80 and it did way better. Do the following to get the layout the same in IE and Chrome and Firefox. Watch out though, I only tested those change on the homepage.
Add this to the .conbox class :
.conbox {
position:relative;
}
Place the logo correctly
#logo {
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:0px;
}
Remove the #nav positioning
#nav {
margin-top:80px;
z-index:3;
}
The problem is, I can't even see any effect on the menu mouseover in IE!!
Setting z-index: -1 for elements that menu overlays and z index of men div resolved this problem for me.
#bodyWrapper
{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #E4F7FE;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
padding: 0 0 60px;
z-index: -1;
}

A:Hover problem in chrome

I seem to be having a problem with styling my links for chrome, yet it works in safari.
I have my normal styling like this:
a:link {
color:#000;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover {
color:#c40000;
} etc....
Now this works on some of the links but it doesn't work on them all, i can only get it to work on the other ones by drilling down in to the div.. example:
.col a:hover {
color:#c40000;
}
I have searched but haven't found any solutions apart from setting styles for every div that has a link in it... which seems stupid.
Thanks a lot.
UPDATE - Just checked on my laptop and this is an OSX issue, works fine on chrome on my vista laptop just not on my iMac ;/
Try using:
a:hover {
color:#c40000 !important;
}
The !important keyword will override any previous styles.
