Browser compatability questions

Can someone please look at my site and tell me what I am
doing wrong.
In IE it looks correct. I have the main content in a master
div container..it has a background image that is black hrz stripes.
On the body I am using css to add a gray background of similar
texture.
When I look at the site on Safari or Fire Fox... the body
background is the entire page, main content container and all.
In addition, it is ignoring the auto width css that centers
the site on the background.
I am a new designer. I appreciate anyone's help. Thank you in
advance.
my site

Your page code is a bit off. For example, you have this link
within the
body -
<link href="index-files/styles_apx73.css" type="text/css"
rel="stylesheet"/>
<ul id="vbUL_rpx73" class="vbULapx73"
style="visibility:hidden;">
but links to external stylesheets that occur between
<body> and </body> are
ignored, so none of the rules that are contained within that
stylesheet
would be expressed on the page.
Then you have this in your main CSS stylesheet -
body {
margin:0px;
background-image:url(../images/backgrnd/grey-hrz-100x100.png);
But the stylesheet and the page are both already at the root
of the site, so
it's not possible to follow that link to the image by going
up one directory
level.
Also, you have several instances like this in your main CSS -
margin:5px, 8px, 0px, 0px;
There are no commas allowed between these values.
But as to why the center alignment is not working, I'm
baffled. It should
be, but clearly it's not! Hmmm...

CSS error, style sheet link, affects browser compatibility..

Left comfort of GoLive and tables, to CS5 Suite - Dreamweaver. Basic CSS skills, so don't have the intuitive ability to frame question well.
Regarding this particular page, I simply built, then copied the index.html page on a test site at:
http://www.screamingeagles.com/client_view/ScreamingEagles_v2/index.html
and stripped out sidebars and menu bar, and began building a form in the "main content" area.
URL to page in question:
http://www.screamingeagles.com/client_view/ScreamingEagles_v2/contact/contact.html
Noticed a "green line" in code so checked browser compatibility as follows:
-------Browser Compatibility-------------------
Found 2 errors in twoColFixLtHdr.css
Affects: Firefox 1.5; Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0; Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2; Netscape 8.0; Opera 8.0, 9.0; Safari 2.0
-----------------Error found (green lined in code) as follows------------------------
Line 6: <link href="../css/twoColFixLtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Validation didn't give me anything to go on. Given my modest coding skills, should I just build a new page from templates as an better
alternative to bothering forum participants?

I think that the errors are *in* the twoColFixLtHdr.css file, so you need to open that file and run Validation again.

JSF Cross Browser Compatibility

In reading about JSF I find no promise for cross browser compatibility. Am I to assume that this has been missed because
i. JSF is a specification and not an implementation and I should be looking for the implementation to make that promise.
ii. it's basically to hard to promise this.
iii. I didn't look hard enough.
I am guessing it's a (i) with the likely hood of (ii) to follow. But I would be interested on any feed back that anyone cares to add. For example, a implementation that is trying to promise this.

In my opinion, the JSF specification (or better, any specification) can only refer to other specifications, but never to a concrete software product. Consider a sentence like:
        JSF 1.0 is compatible with IEWhat could that mean? Some possibilities:
(1)     As it happened, until now, we did not stumble over a
        faces application that broke when run on our Faces
        reference implementation (version 1_1_01) in a
        WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
        (To breake means to produce a result not legitimized
        by the spec, or to produce no result when one is
        expected, at least not in a reasonable time.
        Breakdowns caused by power failure or other
        reasons outside the scope of the spec to be ignored)Well, not worth any further comment.
(2)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in a
        WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765
        (To breake means ...)That is ok... if you have just this combination of components and will never change. Keep in mind that (2) does not promise
anything if you use IE5.5 patch 12345a (and the saying is, there have been several patches to IE ;-)
(3)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any container
        in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
        (To breake means ...)Same as (2)
(4)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any container
        in combination with IE 6.0 on any platform with
        any patches.
        (To breake means ...)Maybe what is intended, just impossible to promise. First, such a bold statement about some software can not be proven.
Second, even if you have gained good confidence by thorow testing, who knows which future changes Microsoft will apply to IE 6.0 (via patches, which offen not only correct bugs, but also introduce new and maybe incompatible features)
(5)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
        or higher container in combination any broser
        which supports:
           - HTML 4.0.1
           - JavaScript 1.3
           - CSS 1.0
        where IE 6.0 is a browser which supports these
        three standards on any platform with any patches.
        (To breake means ...)It's getting better. But why, for heavens sake, should a JSF specification make a statement about the compliance of IE with HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3 and CSS 1.0? I think it would be the job of Microsoft to declare the compatibilty of their products with standards (if any applies, whatsoever).
Therefore, lets get rid of these and we have:
(6)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
        or higher container in combination any broser
        which supports:
           - HTML 4.0.1
           - JavaScript 1.3
           - CSS 1.0
        (To breake means ...)Nearly finished, just a little bit wordy. It is (nearly) obvious what 'to breake' means. And that it is common wisdom that software breakes, not some specification (Or, as Bertrand Meyer put it, Bubbles don crash. Specifications may be contradictory or fail to describe an algorithm, but never crash). Common wisdom removed gives:
(7)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 need a JSP 1.2 container
        and a browser capable of HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3
        and CSS 1.0That's it. Specs exist for two reasons. First, to be discussed and thought about. Second, to be implemented. (To the supporters of agile methods: of course you can reverse the sequence ;-). Therefore, specs should be as short and concise as possible, omitting any useless blabla. If the specs are sufficently precise and of moderate complexity, we can even try to prove the compatibility of the specifications. 'COMPATIBLE WITH IE' is advertisement, not tech talk.
Conclusion: Mixing up specifications and implementaions is generally a bad thing. Exception: All sentences where a specification and a implementation are mentioned together should have the form:
         Implementation X does [not] conform to specification Y
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have a follow up question, just inspired by yours. It does not especially concern JSF, but web pages in general.
Some time ago, I stumbled over quite a few web sites with big red eye catchers:
OPTIMIZED FOR INTERNET EXPLORER!!!
And really, they did not look good on Netscape Navigator. Now, my question is, what do you think when you hit such a page? My first thoughts (it's long ago) have been:
    - Oh, nice designers. They really care for the majority of people,
      my neighbor uses an IE.
    - They just skiped the work for other browsers and sell this as an
      optimization. And I didn't get it. Very clever.
    - Poor Guys. Probably they had no other browser at hand.
    - Obviously they had publish this tremendously important information
      under pressure, no time to also optimize for others browsers.Wolfgang Oellinger

Browser compatibility issue with IE6/7

Hello,
I created my webpage in dreamweaver on a MAC. I have viewed my page(s) A-OK in Safari and firefox however I am being told that my page is not viewing properly on Internet Explorer. I then found the browser compatibility feature to test the page in Dreamweaver. What I have found is that I have browser support problems...this is the error from my index page - which is actually on all my pages!
un-scrollable content bug:
If one or more absolutely-positioned elements are placed within a relatively positioned element with no assigned dimensions, either no scrollbar will appear at all, or it will not extend far enough to view all of the content. (Note: This bug will not affect your page if the content in the AP element does not extend beyond the height of the viewport.)
Affects: Internet Explorer 6.0
Likelihood: Possible
This bug is on line 56: <div style="position:relative">
This issue is on all my pages...please help
I am just not sure how to solve this problem - I am more of a designer than a coder. Any help whatsoever to point me in the right direction is most graciously appreciated!!!
My webpage URL is: lifeforcemd ah yes that is a .com extension - lifeforcemd.com

Hi kadarusastry,
This issue is about the browser compatibility.
Please add your SharePoint site into compatibility view in IE 9 or IE 10.

Spry accordion browser compatability issues

I am building my first site and was in the process of checking each page for browser compatability. this certain page has spry accordians and I have some error messages that I don't understand.
The first one says Line 48 has 2 errors in SpryAccordian.css. I don't have any indication of what the problem is and where exactly line 48 is on the page. Is there a way for it to take you to that exact spot to show you where the problem is?
I clicked on get more info. and came to a page that doesn't seem to be addressing what my issue is. Don't understand that part.
How do I fix this and why did it happen?

Dreamweaver browser compatibility

I wrote a simple little BMI calculator that was putting the result in a span. Because I wanted to clear all fields, I modified the javascript to put the calculated result into a form input field. Now, the calculator works in some browsers and not others. It works in Chrome and Safari but not IE and Firefox. I verified the code with W3C and used the browser compatibility function in Dreamweaver to check my code. Everything is supposedly fine. HELP! Has anyone else had this problem?

Adobe Captivate 6 swf browser compatibility

Hi i wanted to know the browser compatibility when i publish a swf file using Adobe Captivate 6. Does it support all browsers? Even old versions of Internet Explorer?

Hi, RodWard.
I found this thread because I, too, am concerned with browser compatibility. I verified that my browsers are all running a supported version of Flash, but I'm still having issues reporting my results to my internal web server. I've researched the issue to find it has nothing to do with my web server or PHP compatibility, but rather some issue with the SWF file. The internal server reporting works when I view the presentation in IE 9, but not when I view it in Chrome 24 or IE 8. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I need to install Firefox 4 for browser compatibility testing, but I can only find installers for the current version and 3.6.19; where can I find what I'm looking for?

I am trying to do some browser compatibility testing using Firefox, but I can't find any installers for it here. The closest I can find are installers for 3.6.19 at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html. Where can I find an official installer for Firefox 4?

Solved my own problem - I can download the installer by navigating directly to http://download.mozilla.og/?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US.

EREC : Upgrading browser compatibility for SAP E-Recruiting

Hi
We are currently using E-Recruiting 603 Sp 2 (Netweaver 7), does anyone knows how to upgrade browser compatibility. Currently we are only supporting Internet Explorer and Firefox up to version 7.0 and 3.5 respectively. Does anyone how to upgrade the browser compatibility to includes the newer version of IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
Expert please help.
Regards
Ridzuan

Hi Ridzuan,
We have exactly the same problem as we currently run eRecruitment on EHP3 (Netweaver 7.00).
With EHP3, SAP officially support IE and Firefox only. This doesn't help external job applicants who can be
applying using any web browser. In particular Mac users tend to use Safari as its the default browser. Its not at all
good customer service to have to tell job applicants to download and install Firefox just to be able to fill in a job application.
When we originally implemented, eRecruitment worked fine in Safari, but currently all the drop down lists, date pickers
and pop-up dialogs fail to render making it unusable. This is caused by a security restriction in WebKit (used by Safari and
Chrome) blocking frame navigation.
SAP officially support Safari as of EHP5 (which runs on Netweaver 7.02). If running via the portal you'd need Netweaver 7.2 portal or above for Safari support for the portal.
I also found a SAP Note 1642778 " which includes "Unified rendering: Support for Safari, Chrome browser", which is
relevant to EHP4 (Netweaver 7.01). Upgrading to EHP4 and above isn't a small step if you've done any significant customisation on the BSP Recruiter pages as these are replaced with new ABAP WebDynpro pages.
To date I haven't seen the unified rendering corrections back ported to Netweaver 7.00 even though they were for 7.01
and this isn't officially supported (as per the PAM as mentioned by Andy).
See https://service.sap.com/pam
Then look at the link in the middle of the page:
"Browser information for: SAP NETWEAVER 7.0, SAP EHP1 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 and SAP EHP2 FOR SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 "
This opens a PDF showing official support dependencies between browser versions and SAP versions and patch levels.
EHP3=Netweaver 7.00
EHP4=Netweaver 7 EHP1 (a.k.a. 7.01)
EHP5=Netweaver 7 EHP2 (a.k.a 7.02)
To see what patch level you're running log into the SAP GUI on the eRecruitment system, then select System->Status...
from the menu. Click the detail (maginifying glass icon on the right next to Component Version). Then look at the patch
level of the SAP_BASIS component. Compare this to the patch levels in the browser support PDF to see which versions
to upgrade to e.g. SP24 or higher for IE9 support.
We're currently patching our EHP3 system up to SP25 to help with IE9. Firefox 8 is working (as is Firefox 9 beta).
Sadly Safari and Chrome still aren't working and this is the latest patch level. SP26 is mentioned but not out yet.
Also check the browser roadmap on p17 of the browser support PDF. It makes clear they intend to support Safari and Chrome
going forward but no timescale is given.

Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
Need help!!
The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
page!

OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here! what
I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my
main site
so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that
mean adding the code ", "_blank");
to the files on the server?
At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)
