HTML table display issues in Safari and Firefox

Hey,
A few days ago, in both firefox and safari, i noticed that whenever i go to certain sites with (i'm assuming) what are HTML tables, they aren't displaying properly. The tables are going way bigger than they should.
ex. When i go to craigslist.org and click on any link, each item on the page has way more space between lines than it should. To see what i mean check out these screen capture.

Also, perhaps a related issue, in Firefox, the page scrolling isn't smooth anymore when i use my trackpad.
I tried trashing the preferences for each browser in my library, to no avail. Any help would be awesome. thanks

hey thanks. The links in the orgininal post are fixed. To view the difference, look at the captures, then type in the url that appears in the captures to see what it should look like.

Fonts Do Not Display Correctly in Safari and Firefox

Certain fonts do not display smoothly in Safari and Firefox. They appear to have little pieces of the letters missing. I'm sure others have experienced this problem before but I could not find how to fix this. On the Apple Discussions the fonts look fine... on Google for example, they look messed up. I do not know specifically which font(s) are displayed weird but it happens frequently. This happens in Safari and Firefox on my MacPro and MacBookPro. Is there a setting to fix this?
Thanks,
-flash

Hello Flash, welcome to Apple discussions; )
Look for Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic Fonts, if you have them,
they can be the usual suspects.
Check the Text encoding in both Safari & FF, under the "View" menu.
In System preferences-> Personal (top section) in Appearance tab->
on the last portion of the panel Font smoothing Style: set that to Automatic
If those don't help, see this users tip excellent article Kurt Lang's ~ Font Management in Mac OS X
Look into this application to find any corrupt font[s]Font Finagler
Good luck, let us know how you fare.

I have a small issue with this page not rendering properly in Safari and Firefox on my Mac.
The top-right image of the group of four is missing and i cant quite figure out why.
Any tips/advice gratefully recieved.
Thank you!

The rogue bracket may only be part of the problem. What's this below - 0px; top: 2px; ???? Seems as though you declared the position further up the css cascade top: 8px; left: 0px; ?????
#box-link2 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 8px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 83px;
    height: 83px;
    background-color: transparent;
    0px; top: 2px; width: 282px; height: 243px;
and on box 3 -2px; top: 38px; ??????
#box-link3 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 8px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 83px;
    height: 83px;
    background-color: transparent;
    -2px; top: 38px; width: 280px; height: 240px;

Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

Hello
Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
I am using Lion 10.7.5
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

Chinese display improperly in Safari and Firefox after OSX 10.6.7 update

After updating to 10.6.7 some Chinese websites don't display properly in both Safari and Firefox on my '08 book pro, while the '09 iMac has no such problem. On the book pro Chinese characters appear as unreadable squiggles. Other apps (word, mail, photoshop) seem to do fine post-update.
Anyone encountered this? solution?

Puzzling. Why should it happen after the 10.6.7 update?
There is a long history of duplicate fonts causing problems in OS X. Do you know for sure whether you had duplicates of that one in 10.6.6?
Is this related to other more serious font problem reported by other users after the update?
I don't think the other one can be fixed by getting rid of duplicates.

Display issue: IE 7 and Firefox

Hi
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, so let me
know if anyone knows of a more appropriate area of this adobe site
to do so.
I have a CS3, Spry navigation mneu on a web site. It exands
in width to accomodate the text of each menu item.
The content of the site is contained in a div wrapper, I've
sized the wrapper, and a header graphic, to fit the size of the
navigation menu.
It displays as planned in IE 7, but in Firefox it comes up
short, not quite reaching to the right side of the div wrapper.
Anyone have an experience like this or have ideas how to fix
it?
The site is at:
http://faculty.fortlewis.edu/Schmiedel_T/library/index.htm
I can include any code that is required, HTML or CSS but was
not sure what would be needed.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info. I looked in CS3 and see the "expanded
box problem" under the issues warning. So I think I have to set the
box sizes to a fixed standard. Will get to it. Thanks.

CSS for links display differently in Safari and Firefox

Hello all,
I am having some link display problems. The CSS code for my link display is as follows:
#sidebar_1 a{
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
#sidebar_1 a:link{
color: #CCC;
#sidebar_1 a:visited{
color: #000;
#sidebar_1 a:hover, #sidebar_1 a:active, #sidebar_1 a:focus{
color: #000;
Unfortunately, the website is not live yet so I can't direct you to it.
What happens: in Firefox, mousing over a link causes it to go black; but when the link is clicked and the new page has loaded, the link goes back to being gray even though the linked page is active. However, in Safari the links for visited pages stay black. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

#sidebar_1 a:vistied {
color:#000;
is stating that all visited links in the #sidebar_1 div to be black. Are you saying that all visited links are black, outside the sidebar_1 div?

Font change in Safari and Firefox after installing Snow Leopard...

My apologies if this has been addressed:
Immediately after updating from 10.5.8 to 10.6.2 the fonts displayed in both Safari and Firefox have changed. They are now a barely-legible "handwritten" font. I have attempted to resolve the issue to no avail. The issue only seems to be present with Safari and Firefox- there are no applications (that I have noticed yet*) that are affected. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, NYeBeing & welcome to discussions
I have attempted to resolve the issue to no avail.
What steps have you taken, exactly, so we don't repeat, etc. I'll assume you've already used OS X's FontBook to check font health & remove dupes, and you've cleared existing font caches using Snow Leopard compatible tools such as QnyX or FontDoctor.
What languages are enabled?

Javascript not working in Safari and Firefox

in stead of rendering the html generated by javascript, the html code itself is displayed in both Safari and Firefox.
The strange thing is that this is only for one of my accounts. This account was transferred using the migration tool from my previous computer, where I also had this problem.
A brand new generated user account does not show this problem.

HI,
In the affected account...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab.
Make sure: Enable plug-ins and Enable Java and Enable JavaScript are selected.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode, not 64. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Relaunch Safari.

IWeb-generated site OK in Safari and Firefox, but no NavBar in IE

I created a site in iWeb and it displays fine in Safari and Firefox. However, the entire NavBar section is not displaying in Internet Explorer, despite loose permissions for running code in IE.
The script section from one of the pages appears below, and any help or suggestions are much appreciated. I need to get this site up, and really need it to be accessible for IE users.
Thanks.
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[//><!]]></script>

Are you using the navigation menu that comes with the page template? If so, it will not display on a PC with Internet Explorer unless javascript is turned on in the preferences. The template nav bars in iWeb use java and if this is not enabled on some computers, then it cannot be seen.
What you can do so that it will show up in IE, is to create your own text based navigation bar instead - to do this, just open the Inspector and then go to Page - second choice in and click on the boxes which say hide navigation menu and then just create your own by using a text box, shape or whatever. Don't forget to hyperlink to your pages though.

Table Definitions for Safari and Firefox

All of the sudden my method to make a table 100% of the
vertical height of a browser window in Safari and Firefox for the
Mac has ceased to work. It works fine on PCs. I used both
Dreamweaver and GoLive in my efforts. Anythougts on how to more
appropriately or alternatively set this definition correctly?

Here's the deal.
A doctype on an HTML page tells the browser how to render the
page. If
there is no doctype, or if there is an invalid one, the page
is rendered in
quirks mode. If there is a valid doctype, the page is
rendered in standards
mode.
DMX inserted a broken doctype on the page (i.e., functionally
equivalent to
no doctype). Earlier versions inserted NO doctype. Hence, all
these pages
are rendered in quirks mode.
In quirks mode, the browser makes an attempt to render
invalid HTML. Not
all browsers attempt the same rendering - so you will see a
variety of
differences, comparing one browser to the next on the same
page.
In standards mode, the browsers all render the same (so they
say - but in
practice, while not true, it's much more uniform).
Table height is invalid HTML. It always has been - it was
never a part of
HTML's specs.
Browsers in quirks mode will try to render table heights.
Browsers in
standards mode willl not.

HT5648 OS10.6.8 Firefox 24.0 The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Help me, please.

OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0
The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version. Help me, please.

The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly.

I got ignored on "IE outlines navbar table, Safari and Firefox don't"

Zero replies since I posted this Feb. 16 so am trying once more.
"Navbar table isn't supposed to be outlined, but in IE an outline shows on top and on the right margin. http://starbrokerage.com/svcs_retail.htm Safari and Firefox handle it correctly. What am I doing wrong? (I couldn't find anything in forum search) Thanks."

<td><img src="images/spacer.gif" width="10" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>
According to the code, the space where the white line appears should be filled with a spacer.gif from the images folder.
However there is no spacer.gif in the images folder on the server. You need to upload it.

Safari and Firefox seem to have issues with Flash?

Hi - in the past few days every time I try to view a website with video, both Safari and Firefox hang with the beachball and I have to force-quit. I tested to see if it was just taking a long time to load, and it was still the same after an hour. I've read on this forum that Snow Leopard and Flash have some issues, and I've done everything suggested: un-installed Flash then re-installed the latest version, cleared out Safari cache and reset Safari, repaired disk permissions...I am at a loss. Any ideas are appreciated!

Hi,
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
If Safari still crashes, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.
