Chrome: First Link(s) on Some Pages Don't Work--Why? - google-chrome

My problem: Llinks work in IE 7 and Firefox, but in a number of cases on a site I'm working on updating, the first link(s) on a page don't work in the Chrome browser even though they do from the "View Source" page. I've looked for obvious code problems and can't find any. What am I missing? Something's up, but what? Thanks for your help.

Ok, I drove my blood pressure through the roof trying to figure this out and I did, so I will help answer the question. What you need to do is locate your main element that contains the links that aren't working, then put a z-index of one on that div box.
so for instance if it is the menu that isn't working put a z-index of 1 in your menu CSS like this....
#leftmenu {
position:absolute;
top:300px;
left:14px;
width:100%;
background-color:transparent;
z-index:1;
}
This will force all of the stuff forward and your links will work. Voila...

Element not shown in Firefox, but ok in other navigators

I have a problem with a slideshow I coded.
It worked fine before, the website is online since january.
The problem is only when using Firefox 46, other navigators are displaying the elements.
The page with the slideshow : http://www.rotin-file.com/en/accueil
8 buttons appears, in the debugger I can see the 8 containing background images of products, and the absolute containing the title, reference and price, but it doesn't appear in the website...
I tried to change many css properties (with the debugger) to find from where the problem comes (z-index, visibility, display, opacity, ...) but I can't understand why it's ok with Chrome and IE but not ok when using FireFox...
I verified all plugins are desactivated (also adblock is disabled for the whole domain) and tried on other computers with firefox, it never work with it...
Any idea to help me ?
Sorry for my bad english, and thanks for any help.
Two things to do, first remove:
#slideProduits #cntSlide {
perspective: 1200px;
}
Second, you need z-index for your pager, so add:
#ctlSlide {
z-index: 100;
}
But why it does not work in FF46, I have no idea. Guess 'cause css perspective is still an 'experimental technology'.

html elements unexpectedly invisible on first page load in chrome

I'm working on my new online portfolio at http://asbjorn.org/ny/, and I've come across the weirdest issue!
Every time you open the page for the first time, the next and previous buttons for the slideshow don't appear. If I open the inspector, they pop up immediately, and they also appear when reloading the page.
They're pretty standard html elements, not added dynamically, so I have NO clue as to why this happens! Of course I can't have the site visitors reload the page just to see them. :/
I really hope someone can help me! :)
update: seems like it's a chrome only issue. For me it happens consistently in chrome on both Win7 and OSX. A few of my friends also has the same issue (probably in chrome on osx)
So I'll take a stab at an answer. When I see the problem in Chrome 22, and I bring up the inspector, I note that the #previousLink and #nextLink divs have a width of 0 in the broken state. Try setting an explicit width for these in your CSS, or make the nested image use display: block.
#previousLink { width: 31px; }
#nextLink { width: 37px; }
or
#previousLink img,
#nextLink img { display: block; }
I think the combination of these inline items and your overflow: hidden rule are biting you. I think. This is a tricky bug!

internet explorer is showing a pink strip

I am working on the site http://childrensdentalland.com/ and it is a wordpress site. When viewed from all the browser except IE ,the site is showing ok but when We views through IE it shows a pink strip under the
"Welcome To Phoenix Pediatric Dental Specialists".
Can anyone help me to correct this problem.
Thanks

hmm could have something to do with float. your navDiv has no float which can break things in browsers.
Check your margins and heights as well. make them set and that may as well fix the problem
Try adding this to your class. I did this in Firefox just to see what happened. But anyways. I think it is because it needs to have float:left; . I don't have IE with dev tools so I am sort of taking a shot in the dark.
.footshadow {
float:left;
margin-top:13px; /*this will have to be tweaked*/
}
You have some weird absolute positioning going on there.
What you should be doing instead is floating .menu-header left, #searchpedi right, and then clearing both on .navshadow. Remove all position: absolute and use float instead.
Hi it very simple you just define one properties in you css file .navshadow{top:221px;}
as like this
.navshadow {top:221px;}

Tooltips are not shown in IE

In this website: http://www.blackblot.co.il/kb/ I can't make the anchor ( tags) to show tooltips in IE.
It works in chrome and Firefox.
what makes it even harder to understand, is it not happenening in all the tags, but only these in the content section.
for example, the links on the left side are showing the titles, but the links in the content, altough has it, won't show it.
I checked for CSS manipulation, or js code, but nothing really stops it from showing the titles.
really need help here. Thanks
I checked out the source code and found out that the anchors didn't have titles. Did you try putting titles in those anchors? That should work in my opinion.
OK
I found the solution. which is not a real solution - but it something in IE was absolutely wrong.
it is clearly a bug in IE. Anyway, if someone have the same problem.
I have dicided to take off the css and see if I see the tooltips without any css. And then I saw it.
So I had to debug 500 lines of poorly written CSS. Among these 500 line there were 3 declarations that caused this bug. I found that when I use F12 (developer's tools of IE) the positioning of the element was not in it's actual position on the page. Please see image attached.
So I tried to figure out which css declaration causing this. For some reason 3 declaration of 3 div's padding had to be removed in order for this to work.
the CSS lines are as follow, the commented code is the bad guy:
ul,ol,dl,p,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px; /* padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0; */}
div.post,div.page{display:block; margin:0 0 0px 0; border-bottom:solid 1px #eee; /* padding:20px */}
div.post-bodycopy p{margin:1em 0; /* padding:0; */ display:block; font-size: 13px;}

Problems solving oddly acting labels in ie7

Okay so this is sort of a double question so I'll split it into two.
First part
In modern browsers the main bold labels sit above their corresponding form elements, and align to the left as is expected. However in ie7, they randomly site 10-15px inset. I went through the developer tools and could find nothing to fix it. I've made sure all my margins and padding is reset so I don't really understand =S
Here's the page demo - link
Maybe some of you ie bug fixing genius's know what the problem is? =D
Second part
Again with labels, this time the in-line ones resident next to the check boxes and radio buttons. In modern browsers again, the side beside the form elements as expected, but not so in ie7 where they take a new line. I've tried floating, changing margins and everything but to no effect in sitting it in-line with the div.checker or div.radio that is created by the uniform Jquery plugin.
Here's the page demo - link
Sorry for troubling you with my ie7 problems, I know they arent the most fun to solve. Hopefully someone has the patience to help.

Part 1:
ol,ul{
list-style-type:circle; list-style-position:inside;
}
If you change that to this:
ol,ul{
list-style-type:circle;
}
Or just remove the definition entirely, that seems to do it for me.
I think that's a reasonable thing to do, as I don't see anything actually using the bullet lists.
Edit for Part 2:
IE doesn't like this:
input{
background:#FFFFFF url(../images/input_bg.png) repeat-x;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
margin-bottom:20px;
-moz-border-radius:3px;
padding:7px;
-webkit-border-radius:2px;
}
If you remove the margin-bottom:20px; from that, your radio button won't be messed up.
Sorry I'm not really providing IE7 specific solutions, but at least you've got the spots that need fixing.
here's a point to where the problem lies
