Pages show differently in FF 3.5.3 and IE 7

Hi,
Since the first ever DW, I haven't had too much trouble with the different displays of a site by FF and IE however ...
I have a client who wants everything to be exact in both browsers and I am having great difficulty achieving this.
I understand without seeing the differences, one can't be explicit in giving answer, however what I am doing is not on line yet.
Are there overall basic reasons why things will look different even though they look fine in the workspace.
This way at least I can go check these basics.
Or does one have to actually see what I have done?
Sorry to be frugal with details, but if needed I will upload some pages.
Thanks
oz  :-)

Differences in Browser rendering  makes this almost impossible to achieve within pixel perfect precision.  Forms are probably the biggest challenge for web designers because they  look totally different in Safari, IE and FF...
That said, there are some things you can do to get your pages on a nearly level playing field -- everything John already told you, plus a couple more.
Add this to your CSS:
/** zeros out default browser values on everything**/
* {margin:0; padding:0; border:0; line-height:100%}
html,body {font-size:100%; height:100.2%; margin-bottom:1px; /**adds scrollbar in Mozilla**/}
/**For IE only**/
*body {font-size:76%; zoom: 1;}
The following basic page looks pretty similar in all the major browsers. But if you look close enough, you will find subtle differences.

If everyone used the exact same browser and settings,   web design would be too easy.

  • How to implement a page showing different database tables

    I am wondering what is the best way to implement the following task:
    On the left side of a page, there are two Listboxes. On the right side of the page, I want to display different database tables depending on the selected value from those two Listboxes.

    I am wondering what is the best way to implement the
    following task:
    On the left side of a page, there are two Listboxes.
    On the right side of the page, I want to display
    different database tables depending on the selected
    value from those two Listboxes.A Data Table component isn't really designed to dynamically swap which database table you're binding too (and therefore which set of columns you will display) under the covers. Here are a couple of general strategies to consider for accomplishing your functional requirements:
    * Create a separate Data Table component for each possible database table, all on the same page, and dynamically set the "rendered" property of the selected Data Table to true, while setting it to false for all other Data Tables. That way, only the corect one will be shown.
    * Create a separate page for each Data Table, using a similar look and feel so that it appears to the user like it's all the same page. To save cutting and pasting the list components, put them in a JSP Page Fragment so they can be reused on each page. ((SIDE NOTE: This is a very common technique for simulating what looks like tabbed panes, but where the implementation actually uses separate pages.))
    * Use frames so that the left frame (containing the list boxes) stays the same, and the right frame switches to a different page for each of the tables. This is essentially another way to share the list components across the pages.
    * Abandon all the ease-of-use stuff Creator provides for binding to data tables, and write code that programmatically erases all the old child components and creates new ones. This is the sort of thing you'd need to do for a "SQL BROWSER" sort of application, where the set of columns is not known ahead of time.

  • Page shows different data when saved after few minutes

    Hi,
    I have a peculiar problem to describe.
    I have a page which contains af:table inside af:panelCollection layout. I use a af:commandLink to drilldown to another page using setCurrentRowWithKey method.
    I am able to drill down to the correct data in another page which contains data that is editable. Once after editing the page when i click save button, i am able to save the data. This is working fine.
    But the problem is, once i drilled down to this edit page and edit some fields and save it after few minutes, say 5 minutes later, it is not saved. Also, the page is refreshed to bring some random record.
    Can anyone let me know why is this happening and how to resolve it?
    Thanks

    Hi Timo,
    Which jdev version?I am using jdev 11.1.1.3.0.
    Is it possible that the data has changed (e.g. by an other user) after you drilled to the one record you want to change?There is a possibility that the data can be changed by other user as well. But, for the time being we have implemented for the single user environment.
    When you click save after some time, do you get any error (on the screen or in the logs)?Yes. On the screen, it is displayed as "oracle.jbo.JboException: Document type mismatch (source INVOICE, type Sales)". It is a validation exception thrown at viewRowImpl level by me. But it validates the data perfectly when saved immediately after editing
    Which session timeout do you have configured in your web.xml?Session-timeout is given as 240
    Have you tried your use case with the HR schema?Yes. when i reproduce the situation in HR schema, it is getting saved perfectly

  • Web pages are different after I publish-hyperlinks off, and more...

    I created eight web pages with hyperlinks on photos and text. The photo hyperlinks work, but the text links do not.
    Some of my formatting has changed after publishing. Most common example, I have a thin, white line above several photos. I've tried several ways to correct the problems, all to no avail.
    After I publish to a folder, how do I find the file size of what will be published?
    Thank you, in advance.

    Some of my formatting has changed after publishing.
    Most common example, I have a thin, white line above
    several photos. I've tried several ways to correct
    the problems, all to no avail.
    The easiest way to get rid of this white line...click on the affected photo, open up the Inspector and click on the Ruler tab. Now increase the height of the photo by one or two pixels. This should work.
    The other method is to select the affected photo, open up the Inspector to the Shapes tab and change the opacity of the photo to 99%. This should also work.
    Basically, both methods work by forcing iWeb to re-render the image as PNG by changing the photo ever so slightly.
    After I publish to a folder, how do I find the file
    size of what will be published?
    After you publish to a folder, just select the folder in the Finder and type "Apple-i" to get the size of the folder. Is this what you are after?

    Hi i am using Crystal Report Server XI RAS Embedded Edition to built Dynamic Reports.
    Now i  have two datasets

    2. list of image blobs.
    this two datasets are linked with imageid  field and binded to ReportClientDocument.
    i have to show different image fields in every page of the report.  this images are differ in width and heights.
    i am able to show a single constant image field object from blob database field.
    but i could not able to find the solution to show different set of multiple images in different pages of the report.
    is there any formulas can be written or kindy give me a solution to achieve this.

  • HT1657 I downloaded a rental movie but can't find it on the upgraded itunes. Old page showed "rentals", is there a tab that reads rentals or something different?

    I downloaded a rental movie but can't find it on the upgraded itunes page. Old home page showed a tab that read "rentals" on the left side. Anyone know how to find that tab?

    I have the same issue. Just rented a movie, and I can't find it anywhere. Where is it stored, and how do I watch it on iTunes 11.0.4 ?
    I don't see the 'rented' tab anywhere, and nothing under 'purchased'.

  • I've successfully updated latest Java plug-in to latest version but Mozilla plugin page shows it's still outdated

    Mozilla Plug-in page showed Java was outdated and needed updating. I did do that but the plug-in page still shows Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.90.5 10.9.2.5 & Java (TM) Platform SE 7U9 10.9.25 as being outdated. But when I go to my add-on page and check my plug-ins, those are both showing up as being installed and enabled and the date I updated them on which was today 12/12/12. Also I went to www.java.com to check what the latest version was and when you click on downloads it automatically checks to see if you are running the current version and it says I am running the latest version. I even went and uninstalled some old java updates that I forgot to remove in my programs. Should I just ignore the *outdated* plug-in reminders for those two on Mozilla's plug-in page since everything else is telling me I did it correctly? Thing is, how do I know when there is a new update if those two never update and consistently show they are outdated? Thanks to anyone that may be able to answer this question.

    Thanks much to whomever deleted my reply to DFelice. Apparently someone who moderates the support forums doesn't like inconvenient truth...that is...the plugin page is seriously broken and my link in this thread to the same issue in another thread was removed along with the whole post. ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/944115 )
    Is this a support forum? Or is there some unwritten protocol that we must walk on egg-shells. That is just plain wrong. '''It is the same issue affecting two different plugins, Flash and now Java.'''
    At least is was here long enough for DFelice to hop over and reply in the above linked thread.
    I don't write these things because I "hate" Firefox, but because I love it and want to see it not slip away into Opera land. So here is positive feedback as well. Firefox has the best "View Source" of any browser, it will actually point out coding errors and sometime suggest where the problem is which is extremely useful to webmasters. The latest Firefox has fixed a font rendering problem which is something I addressed in a post a few months(?) ago in the support forums here and now it is fixed and is on the "same page" with all the other browsers in terms of font rendering. So that is cool.

  • Why Same UI Page Behaves Differently on Different EBS Env.?

    Hi Experts,
    I'm checking Accessibility of our UI page in EBS, on Firefox. There are two EBS env. having the same codeline R12.2. On one env., the page shows fine, but the other one shows "No ALT text specified" for the button/graph, etc. Our product page code are the same revision. I have no idea what might cause that. Could you give me some inputs here?
    Thanks!

    ''Possibly'' because when you access the file from your hard disk (I assume that's what you mean by "try the updated web page in my browser") and when you access it from a webserever, the file type is different. If you're brought up with windows you might think that the file type is determined by the extension (.pdf) but it's not. Depending on the webserver, your operating system, and your browser, it ought to depend on the 'mime type'
    So try uploading the amended page to your webserver (in a test area) and see if it works off the web.
