CSS IE Fix?

I am learning CSS and overall understanding most of it (though i know questions are coming and they will be posted here => ) As I read and learn I read make sure this or this is done so IE will display it correctly.
However, I also know that many pages have stylesheets strictly to deal with IE fixes. Where can I find these fixes so that I can learn to implement them into my site design?
Thanks!

Don't spend a lot of time on IE hacks. A 3px jog here or a dropped float there won't make a huge difference in the usability of your web pages. For what it's worth, I almost never create separate style sheets for IE. If needed, I use a couple of well-chosen conditional comments in the markup. The less customization you do for inferior browsers, the better your life will be.

Css position:fixed works on mozilla 21/IE10 but not in chrome ?

Hello guys,
     I want to stick in position a rectangle or photo while scrolling browser.
I am using    sym.$("Rectangle3").css({"position":"fixed"});
This works fine in Mozilla and IE10 but not in chrome (Version 27.0.1453.116 m)
Anyone to help please?
Thanks in advance.
Anthony

Antony,
I will defer to what Sarah said.
In the future if you needed to add browser prefixes to correct differences which happen for a number of things like transform or shapes, etc..
Or course this will not correct a bug which I was not aware of in this particular case.
Here is how to add browser prefixes:
In this case to make an ellipse a circle because chrome did not recognize the ellipse. I added Opera prefix to show you the syntax.
sym.$('Ellipse').css({
          '-webkit-border-radius': '50%',
          '-o-border-radius': '50%',
          'border-radius': '50%',
          'width': '35px',
          'height': '35px'
Sometime the syntax is a little different. Just google the css to make sure.
Here is another example for a Star Wars intro where I added browser prefixes for Explorer (-ms-), Chrome (-webkit-), and Firefox(-moz-).
The code can be combined but I did not this time for this sample.
Sample files here:
https://www.box.com/s/bdu5c4lq67fkfy7blfhc
// FF
sym.$('gradient').css('background', '-moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%, transparent 100%)');
sym.$('container').css('-moz-transform-origin', '50% 100%');
sym.$('container').css('-moz-transform', 'perspective(250px) rotateX(25deg)');
// Chrome and others
sym.$('gradient').css('background', '-webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%, transparent 100%)');
sym.$('container').css('-webkit-transform-origin', '50% 100%');
sym.$('container').css('-webkit-transform', 'perspective(250px) rotateX(25deg)');
// Internet Explorer
sym.$('gradient').css('background', '-ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,1) 0%, transparent 100%)');
sym.$('container').css('-ms-transform-origin', '50% 100%');
sym.$('container').css('-ms-transform', 'perspective(250px) rotateX(25deg)');

CSS Centered & Fixed Width Layout

I'm trying to use CSS for building a new layout and do so without resorting to the old methods, like using tables. But I can't even get past a very basic thing using Dreamweaver CS5.5. I want the page layout to be a fixed width yet centered in the browser window instead of stuck to the left. Lots of web sites do this (even Adobe's main site).
In the past I would just create a parent table and simply give it a center alignment then build everything else inside of it. Easy. Unless I'm overlooking something obvious there appears to be no way at all to apply the same sort of alignment property to a DIV-based container. Dreamweaver provides lots and lots of other formatting options, but page alignment for that DIV object isn't there.
If I could just get the first big overall DIV centered on the page where I want it I think I could use absolute positioning on the DIVs inside of it.
I've searched around for examples on how to code CSS to make this work, but haven't been able to simply cut and paste the code into Dreamweaver to make it happen. I need to learn how to do this correctly using Dreamweaver's own CSS property dialog boxes.

If I could just get the first big overall DIV centered on the page where I want it I think I could use absolute positioning on the DIVs inside of it.
OMG no. You don't want to use absolute positioning at all, until you understand CSS positioning fully.

IE7 CSS Scroll fix?

Hi,
I am having trouble fixing my CSS so that my primaryContent
does not scroll in IE7. This page works fine in Firefox and IE6.
http://67.199.64.241/test.asp
I use 2 stylesheets which are attached. main2col.css is where
I think I need some sort of hack. Help would be GREATLY
appreciated.

Ref:
http://67.199.64.241/test.asp
If you don't have a good reason to use XHTML, use HTML 4.01
Strict - or
Transitional. Don't use XHTML to keep up with a fad or
anything.
File->Convert->(pick a doctype)
You still need to provide valid HTML for the given DOCTYPE
before even
thinking about browser differences. Invalid code can send
browsers into
Quirks mode where they will render content in unpredictable
ways.
One simple example on that page is the use of the menu
element, an old
HTML 3.2 struct that was deprecated in HTML 4.0 (1998), and
is obsolete
in HTML 4.01 Strict (1999) and in any version of XHTML.
You also have 18 open <li> tags and only 15 closing
</li> tags. I have
no idea how different browsers will deal with that.
> Thanks for the links!
Use them to help you create valid code.
> Any thoughts on a hack to eliminate the scroll in IE7?
I am not well versed in IE hacks. I find it easier to write
code that
works across all browsers. It doesn't make sense to me to try
any hacks
BEFORE fixing my code.
Again, fix all the code before trying to deal with browser
differences.
You will likely find that once the code is valid, most
browser
differences disappear.

CSS IE Fix please

Hi,
I am aware there are bug fixes for CSS issues in IE. Please
can you take a look at my test page which is fine in FireFox but
falls appart in IE.
TEST PAGE
HERE
For info I am exploring accessibility and these should expand
nicely when you press ctr (cmd mac) + to increase text size.
Thanks,

the reason it won't expand nicely with Ctrl + is because you
are using
Absolute links ( layers )
and it's inside a frame ?

Css layout fix

I suspect it is imbalanced div tags that is causing the layout issue the following webpage is experiencing.
http://www.canchair.com/
While the ph.416.787.1709 etc information is listed to the right of the "quickship!" image, it is really supposed to be on the next line - to be seen right before the "| email:" information.
Any clues on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated!

A yellow tag in design view indicates that tag is unbalanced (missing the corresponding <div> or </div>)
Unfortunately, the majority of errors will not be correctable in design view, you will need to follow the instructions/hints the validator gives you and go line by lin in the source view in order to clear the problems out.
The good part is, many errors could be casued by a cascading issue due to your unbalanced div tag.

this is not working properly in Mozilla and IE
i need some suggestions to fix this.
Thanks.

You should really look into using jQuery or even CF's tab capabilities. It makes this stuff much easier. But to answer your question, you'll want to add an "activeTab" class. I'm pasting the entire thing, but the parts that changed are a new "activeTab" style, a few extra lines in the javascript, id attributes to the divs that are the tabs, and also setting the activeTab class on the default tab (tab 2).
Again, I would urge you to try either jQuery UI elements or the CF built in stuff (if on CF 8 or later). The table based tabs you have are going to get complicated the further you go.

Hi RobFaust,
Can you give me a sugestion where I can lear how to set-up my laptom to test my HTML page in IE6, IE7 AND IE8.
Once I upgrade from IE6 to IE7, IE6 is no-longer on my laptop. I know there is a fee website that give one an opportunity to
test HTML on different browsers.

CSS Firefox fix

Hi, I have downloaded a joomla template and customized this. I have a problem with fire fox.
Any suggestions on how to fix the firefox as the logo and banner are out of place
http://www.curioustesting.com/
thanks

1. You have this above the doctype (Cary already suggested one, but I see another). Renove those 2 lines.
<em></em>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
I don't have time to take the code into DW, but this may be causing the centering:
<div align="center" class="main_bg">
Remove the "center" and see what happens.

How do I resize a div/element that's position fixed with css ?

Supper,
I set up a fixed element using this code in stage/ composition ready :
sym.$("body").append(sym.$("Group").css({"position":"fixed"}));
The element does "position:fixed" but its size has changed.
How do I resize it to its previous size?
I tried the same css insertion method with size properties as I used in "fixed"( example above) .
It Failed.
So second question is based on that it also loses its "responsive scaling" properties
(just the "fixed" element not the rest of the project)
and no longer zooms in scale.
Can I fix an elements position and maintain scaling with the rest of the project at 100% width?
My objective is to scroll under a fixed element scaled to fit browser.
Thank You,
Henry

According to the InDesign Help file:
Do one of the following:
(Windows) Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
(Mac OS) While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.

What was fixed in Contribute 4?

Blogs, schmogs! How lame.
More importantly, what kinds of fixes does Contribute 4
provide a user of Contribute 3.1?

I'm the editor of our web site, not the web master. We're
trying to decide if we should upgrade to Contribute 4 for the
entire staff that has full or partial editing permission. I know
those of you who are tech experts know what things like "CSS
rendering fixes" and "support for absolute image paths" mean. For
those of us who use Contribute daily and must make financial
decisions, could you elaborate a bit on exactly what that means to
users? Also, the deal breaker for us is whether this version of
Contribute fixes the frequent crashing problem. We all use Macs
because we are writers and editors, not techies, and didn't want
all the hassles that go with PCs. And our graphics people want us
to stay with Mac. But we lose a lot of time dealing with Contribute
crashes. Is that fixed in this version? Thank you.

Why won't my divs stay fixed in Chrome after using adobe edge?

Hi, Can someone help me with an Edge problem? I'm using:
load: "http://cdn.edgecommons.org/an/1.0.0/js/min/EdgeCommons.js",
complete: function() {
EC.debug("Commons ready: "+EC.VERSION);
EC.centerStage(sym);
EC.Parallax.setup(sym); } });
to animate a div by scrolling and then using:
sym.$("Symbol_1").css("position", "fixed"):
to keep the animated div fixed. It stays fixed perfectly in Firefox but it doesn't stay fixed in Chrome although the animation works. Also, any page that I've created in Dreamweaver with a fixed div fails to stay fixed in Chrome after bringing it into Edge and then publishing it. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.

Thanks Zaxist.
I had to play with what you gave me a little and removed the "#" from symbol and added "sym." to the "$" in two places ending up with this:
sym.$("body").append(sym.$("Symbol_1").css({"position":"fixed"}));
Works perfect! Thanks again!

Help with fixed image problem

Hi!
I've used this code
sym.$("body").append(sym.$("image").css({"position":"fixed"}));
To fix an image while scrolling. But when I change the browser's window size, the image don't resize along with the rest of the animation, and worst: it appear in the wrong place. How can I solve that?
Thanks

In the method "flips()" you create a local "AffineTransform" object and you never do a transform with it.

Bug in pagination CSS on these support forums

Hi
Just noticed the pagination buttons in these forums are screwed to the right side... and then i searched and found that in this file, you have a css entry .cf { } which is empty... i assume it should have { clear: both } ?
This is the css file which has it empty

NB Visual Web JSF Uses Transitional DOCTYPE, Need Strict for position:fixed

When trying to create a CSS "position:fixed" element in my project that works for Firefox/IE6/IE7 I looked up the simple CSS hacks that need to be used for IE6. Unfortunately, IE6 MUST use a Strict DOCTYPE to accomplish this, and there appears to be no way to change this in the Visual Web projects.
The only thing I can find is the webuijsf:page element has attributes that depending on their boolean value will toggle between a Transitional and Frameset DOCTYPE.
Unless someone knows a CSS hack for IE6 that works with a Transitional DOCTYPE, is there a way for me to switch the Visual Web JSF stuff to use a Strict DOCTYPE?

asherwin wrote:
