Background differences in internet explorer

This only happens in some computers when using internet explorer as browser. My chosen background color for my pages is white. Why is my background a light blue in the top half of my page and white in the bottom half. The particular color that is showing up was one I had chosen a long time ago. I have been through my CSS and found a background color problem which it was showing this insistent light blue and I changed it to white. I then uploaded my entire sight including my css. I have not known this problem to happen with Firefox or Safari, only Internet Explorer. Why is this happening? http://www.intricutz.com

The only way to do it is with a gif image but you lose the color palette that you can use with a PNG image. The only other way to support old versions of IE is to use conditional code ( http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html ). Using those brackets described on that page around HTML/CSS or other code will force IE to load something different. In this case you would need to load background CSS that is an alternative to your updated look.
However, before going too much farther trying to support outdated versions of IE, if you have site statistics available to you I would recommend looking at the percentage of users using the older browsers and make sure it is worth the time and effort to have different CSS or different graphics loading.

I can't copy and paste text from Word to a Facebook Post since I've been using Firefox. Why am I getting the background code? Internet Explorer lets me copy text from Word to Facebook.

I type my text in Word then open Facebook. I press Control-C to copy this text into my Facebook post and the result is that a lot of background code shows up.

I would use the older version so you can continue working while troubleshooting continues in CC2014, if you haven't uninstalled it yet (and it didn't also lose the ability to copy/paste).
Have you tried any of the usual suspects?

PNG files with a transparent background have background in Internet Explorer.

I have two banners that are rounded rectangles for a website.
The have quite a few gradients in them, with a gif it looks
distorted. I can't use jpg, so I went with png. In dreamweaver it
shows the banners as having no backgrounds, but in Internet
Explorer, they have backgrounds! How can I fix this?
Also, on another note, when I use the type tool in Fireworks,
my type window will not stretch as I continue to type, I did not
set a width for the box, however, I get two words into a sentence,
and I am jumping to the next line. I have tried over-and-over to
fix this problem, but with no luck. It happens on and off, but it
is driving me crazy.
Thanks for the help, Guys/Gals!

JPEG Images Appear different in Safari vs Internet Explorer

I created a logo for a web site using Photoshop CS2 and noticed that in Safari, the alpha channel (which is supposed to be transparent) gives the logo the appearance of a cream colored background while in Internet Explorer, the logo background has the expected transparent effect.
Can anyone explain why I am seeing this difference?
The site is http://polyols.synair.com/toll_manufacturing.htm in case anyone wants to run the comparison themselves. The logo is in the upper right hand corner of the page.
There is only the one image file for the logo.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff, and welcome to Apple Discussions!
I have taken a look at the link you provided, but do not see the problem you describe.
The logo looks the same in both Safari and Explorer on my Mac, as well as Explorer and Firefox on my PC... if you could provide some extra information on which version of OSX you are using, as well as which version of Safari, we may be able to figure out what's happening.
Maybe you could even upload a screen shot of what your browser displays and provide another link.
Also, note that your logo is a JPEG, which does not support alpha channels or transparency (as far as I know). It looks to me like it is a flattened image of your logo with a shadow on a plain white background.
In addition, might I suggest you extend the area below the logo, as the shadow is getting cut off.

Different content delivered to Internet Explorer than to Chrome?

We recently noticed some rendering issues in the Chrome browser for our SharePoint 2010 site. The differences are primarily the top nav/horizontal nav and the quicklaunch navigation.
Here's an example of our top nav code:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderTopNavBar" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="PlaceHolderHorizontalNav" runat="server">
<SharePoint:AspMenu ID="TopNavigationMenuV4" runat="server" EnableViewState="false"
DataSourceID="topSiteMap" AccessKey="<%$Resources:wss,navigation_accesskey%>"
StaticSubMenuIndent="0" StaticPopOutImageUrl="/_layouts/images/whitearrow.gif"
UseSimpleRendering="true" UseSeparateCSS="false" Orientation="Horizontal" StaticDisplayLevels="2"
MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="2" SkipLinkText="" CssClass="s4-tn" />
<SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="TopNavigationDataSource" ID="topNavigationDelegate">
<Template_Controls>
<asp:SiteMapDataSource ShowStartingNode="False" SiteMapProvider="SPNavigationProvider"
ID="topSiteMap" runat="server" StartingNodeUrl="sid:1002" />
</Template_Controls>
</SharePoint:DelegateControl>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
The Chrome browser is actually receiving a different response than Internet Explorer from the server. Chrome receives this additional CSS code within a style element just before the end of the head element:
.zz1_TopNavigationMenuV4_0 {
background-color:white;
visibility:hidden;
display:none;
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:0px;
.zz1_TopNavigationMenuV4_1 {
text-decoration:none;
.zz1_TopNavigationMenuV4_2 {
I checked this behavior by requesting the page using cURL using IE's user-agent string and using Chrome's user-agent string and found the same difference.
Additionally, the output HTML output of the menu is different. The Chrome version uses a series of span elements to contain just teh top-level links, whereas IE uses nested unordered list elements (ul) to display multiple levels of navigation.
Is it normal SharePoint behavior to delivered different content to different browsers? I should be able to override the Chrome-specific CSS by using more-specific selectors, but I'm curious if others have run into this issue, and if so, how they have addressed
it.

Update:
I already tested different user-agent strings, as I noted in my initial post.
I do have a modified compat.browser file (in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\[sitename]\App_browsers\compat.browser (isMobileDevice is set to false for iPhone and some other devices). This certainly seems like a likely source of problems, but
the same file, when applied to a development development environments, does not cause the same problem.
Production and development environments are all running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, database version 14.0.5136.5002.
I changed the custom masterpage to an OOB masterpage (nightandday.master). Although the top nav is not present in that masterpage, the differences between Internet Explorer and WebKit browsers were apparent. (The differences are not apparent in the development
environments).
Disabling the custom top nav feature does not address the issue (i.e. the default top nav exhibits the same problem)
Additionally, as suggested on some other sites, I checked the mozilla.browser file at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Browsers. The file contains an entry that should match Safari and Chrome, but is identical across the production
and development environments:
<browser id="Safari" parentID="Gecko">
<identification>
<userAgent match="AppleWebKit/(?'webversion'\d+)" />
</identification>
<capture>
</capture>
<capabilities>
<capability name="appleWebTechnologyVersion" value="${webversion}" />
<capability name="backgroundsounds" value="true" />
<capability name="browser" value="AppleMAC-Safari" />
<capability name="css1" value="true" />
<capability name="css2" value="true" />
<capability name="ecmascriptversion" value="0.0" />
<capability name="futureBrowser" value="Apple Safari" />
<capability name="screenBitDepth" value="24" />
<capability name="tables" value="true" />
<capability name="tagwriter" value="System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter" />
<capability name="type" value="Desktop" />
</capabilities>
<controlAdapters>
<adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu"
adapterType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Adapters.MenuAdapter" />
</controlAdapters>
</browser>
I was finally able to reproduce the issue in a development environment when I changed removed the adapter element from compat.browser and restarted IIS:
<browser id="Safari2" parentID="Safari1Plus">
<controlAdapters>
<adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.Menu"
adapterType="" />
</controlAdapters>
</browser>
The chain of browser property inheritance appears to be:
Default > Mozilla > Gecko > Safari > Safari1Plus > Safari2
The asp.net menu control not rending correctly in safari thread on Stackoverflow suggests a workaround, although since I
have development environments not exhibiting the behavior I feel there is another way to address the issue.

Satellite s55 Internet explorer keeps wanting to recover webpage (screen freezes)

laptop came out of the box with windows 8.1
screen will freeze then a warning box will want to recover webpage.
I have the pop-up blocker turned on but sill get a lot of pop-up ad's or games showing up. What can I do?

This is for IE10 on Windows 8.0. Windows 8.1 comes with IE11. But you'll get the general idea.

Hello,
We might have to look into your .muse file to have a better look into the issue.
I tried it on a sample file but it worked fine for me.
Could you please e-mail your .muse file on [email protected] You can use Adobe SendNow service (https://sendnow.acrobat.com/) to send your file in case it is larger than 20MB.

Hi,
I test this issue, actually, in IE 11, the option "set as backgroud" is grayed out after I applied policy Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background, but seems not suitable for
other versions of IE.

Java Applet Background Color Problem on Internet Explorer

Hi,
Please check out the following URL:
http://www.utopiainteractive.com/clients/AkonFinal/glossary.htm
The menu bar is writting in Java Applet. If you scroll down the page, and scroll back up, I see white background as I scroll back up. It happens only on Internet explorer. Neither Java Applet nor HTML Body bg color is white. I am kinda lost, and any help would really be appreciated.
Thank you and look forward to hearing from someone soon.
Sachin

Hi,
Well I used HtmlConver utility to generate applet html code, so I assume nothing is wrong with Object tag. Do you know what could cause this problem on Internet explorer? To be honest, I spent last couple of days, but I am just lost. It absolutely works fine on Netscape.
Thanks,

Enterprise Mode for Internet Explorer 11. Difference in how adding a site works.

I am noticing a difference in how adding a site to open in Enterprise Mode works.
When I incorporate a XML file created by the List Manager, containing 'http://mysite/mypath'.   Enterprise mode functions for the entire site. When I say entire site, I mean pages in virtual directories also open in Enterprise Mode.
This is good.   But I for the time being I would like to put it on my users to approve their sites.
However, if I choose to not use a file and just allow the users to add sites, when they go to 'http://mysite/mypath' then go to Tools and Enterprise Mode to add the site.    We close Internet Explorer, reopen, enter the site 'http://mysite/mypath'
opens in Enterprise Mode.   But when they navigate to pages located in virtual directories, they display in standards mode.   And would need to be added separately by going to Tools -> Enterprise Mode.
I just want to know am I seeing this behavior correctly, or am I possibly missing a step.
Thanks in advance for the response and feedback.

Hi David,
I am testing in my environment, and I will let you know if we have any result.
Thanks for your patience.

Div background color not showing in Internet Explorer 8 and before

My Footer div is not showing the background color (supposed to be black...) in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier. It's assuming the body color instead. Also the border color on top of the 'bubbles' that run across the page is wrong (supposed to be blue)    Is this just because Internet Explorer 8 and earlier did not support div background and border colors yet, or is there a work-around?? Or maybe I did something wrong?
The site is:    www.meridianwaterfiltration.com

How do I set a transparent background to a div in Internet Explorer 8?

Hello,
I'm using a jQuery slider for a simple text slideshow on a homepage. The slideshow and each slide (div) have no background. When the site is viewed in Internet Explorer 8, each slide has a white background. I'm using the following IE fallbacks which according to many sources should work...
#slideText div {
          background: rgb(0, 0, 0) transparent; /* default fallback */
          background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); /* nice browsers */
          filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#33000000, endColorstr=#33000000); /* IE 6/7 */
          -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#33000000, endColorstr=#33000000)"; /* IE8 */
The div's background is affected with a 20% black background but it's still over a white background. How can I get rid of this white background?
Eventually I would like this to have no background but I'm using this 20% transparency for testing. You can view the live site here: http://www.pmi.tv.
Thank you much in advance!

Older IE browsers do not support CSS level 3 rgba colors with opacity.
MS Filters cause other undesired side effects. I don't use them.
If you must support IE8, use a semi-transparent PNG image for your background.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains (e,g, sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net).
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
