This is odd, and I hope I explain it correctly.
When I debug locally with VS2008, IE8 looks like FF and Chrome (minus the obvious). It works well, and I'm happy.
When I use IE8 with our IIS6 box (Win2003) or Cassini, buttons aren't aligned, javascript errors occur, and some other CSS anomolies occur: Table cells missing colored borders, div elements having different dimensions by 2-3pixels.
If anyone has come across this, please let me know - It's completely baffling me
IE8 runs in different modes depending on if it's visiting a site running on localhost vs another server. It's weird, I know. I've run across this issue before as well. Use the developer tools (F12) and check which mode (Quirks, IE7 Standard, IE8 Standard, IE8 Compatibility) the browser is running in.
Could it be an old CSS file that is cached on the client?

My site works ok in Chrome and Firefox but i found some problems on IE11 from IIS (but it shows ok on IE11 when called from .NET IDE). main Menu page shows like this, as if it were taking a wrong Bootstrap version:
This is how the same site looks when called from IDE:
So this only happens on IE11, other browsers show this ok. This uses bootstrap 4.31, MVC 5. I don't think there is a real need to show it here since it doesn't look it's related to code (imo it has to be something IE11 specific) but i can add code in case it's needed.
Thanks!
Fixed, the problem was because the browser was using IE7 compatibility mode. Fixed by adding this in headers:
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=11">

I'm using bootstrap carousel, and it works fine in chrome and explorer, but for some reason in firefox 35.0.1, when the image loads it only loads half of the image than the rest takes longer to load. Anyone have a problem with this in firefox? I'm surprised firefox is the problem here, since it is usually IE that I have issue with. The problem just started with this new version of firefox.
You are not the only one. We've seen this across multiple Windows boxes with FF 35.0.1. We've not tried this on a Mac, though. Can confirm this problem exists, and am really glad we're not the only ones who've noticed it. It's a consistent issue, regardless of caching or network speed.
Great news!: It's been fixed in Firefox 36! Try updating your browser. Here's the Bugzilla which should have addressed the problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1125077
My Ruby on Rails app hates custom fonts and I don't know why. Here are some of the errors and troubleshooting that I have gone through.
First, there were devastating display errors that only happened on Google Chrome on a PC. The text will overlap, paragraphs within the same div will have different widths, buttons will have shortened width, a copy will shift to the right on the page...to the point where some of the sites are unusable. I finally figured out that the browser seemed to not be understanding the font correctly. If I used websafe fonts like Arial and Georgia, the issues went away. So I thought that maybe the #font-face fonts that live on my server were corrupt. The Chrome issue also only appeared to happen on later versions of Chrome (20 and up). The weirdest part about this is that it only happens intermittently. Sometimes the page displays fine and sometimes it looks crazy. This has occurred on multiple computers and cache clearing does not seem to affect the error.
I then integrated Typekit from Adobe to serve the fonts instead from their server. Now the display errors are gone, but all Windows browsers ignore the typekit font and display the fallback fonts instead. That's IE, Firefox, and Chrome on Windows, various versions.
The site is part Ruby on Rails, part PHP (WordPress), and these issues only happen on the Ruby on Rails pages. The font files that I thought were corrupt are the same font files that work beautifully on the PHP side of the site.
Here are some screenshots of the initial Chrome issue with the server hosted fonts.
The site currently has the server hosted fonts live (with the Chrome error). A page on the site where this is happening: http://levoleague.com/jobs
Any ideas on why my app rejects fonts?
Looks like it's a CSS issue and you need overflow-wrap: break-word;
I would be grateful for some pointers on how to troubleshoot this problem. Quick summary of the situation:
I have a large document (200K) divided into five main sections of inequal length, each of which corresponds to a jQuery UI tab.
The page works perfectly in Safari for Windows, Safari for Macintosh, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, and IE.
The page used to work on the iPad too but it no longer does, and it's the iPad that has changed, not the page.
On the iPad, the tab-content is now getting cut off. E.g. one of the pages is a glossary that runs from A-Z and the page cuts off at the letter -H-. It used to scroll all the way to -Z-. For some reason, iPad Safari is not giving each Tab the full amount of vertical space it needs for its content.
I've looked at the jQuery UI code for the show tabs and it appears to be changing CSS classes hide/show, but I'm no ninja javascript coder. How do I begin to figure out what's wrong on the iPad when my page works as expected on every other browser?
EDIT: The page seems to be working fine on the iPad2. It could be a caching issue and the page might stop working at some point even on the iPad2--I could only test at the Apple store. But I believe the markup and coding and jQuery ui are essentially OK, and it's a iPad Safari issue.
I can't trouble-shoot myself without the code, but the by far best way to trouble-shoot situations like this is to use a tool called Weinre. Obviously if one browser (the iPad's) is having trouble, you need to troubleshoot directly with it. That's difficult since the iPad doesn't have developer tools, but Weinre can actually give you (most of) that, over the network.
Follow the instructions here, but at the least you need to provide a ~/.weinre/server.properties that contains this:
boundHost: -all-
httpPort: 8081
reuseAddr: true
readTimeout: 1
deathTimeout: 5
That will tell weinre to listen on every IP on the port 8081. Start Weinre (via the OS X runner or with java -jar weinre.jar on the command line.
Then you add a special script tag in the main page:
<script src="http://YOUR_IP_NUMBER:8081/target/target-script-min.js"></script>
After this you start Safari or Chrome and go to http://localhost:8081/client/. If everything went as planned you will see the Weinre interface, which is a subset of the WebKit developer tools.
Now connect to your development machine with the iPad or simulator. If the script tag is correct Weinre makes a connection to the iPad and you have a fairly large subset of WebKit's developer tools at your disposal for trouble shooting. Good luck!
I'm sure this isn't the answer you're hoping for, but it sounds like a bug that should be reported to Apple.
You have a page that works perfectly on every other browser and I think its in Apple's best interest that it works on the iPad as well.
There might be other pages out there that used to work, but now don't, so I would consider this bug to be pretty high priority.
I am unable to show images in CR reports. I'm developing a MVC 2 project in VS 2008 with Crystal Reports that comes with it (10.5). Everything works fine, except for images. I can see them in the preview mode within the CR designer, but not when the app is deployed, which means I am loading data OK but something's wrong with IIS and/or routing.
When running the app, images appear with the red cross and if I navigate to the following url directly I get a 404 error.
http://localhost:1234/CrystalImageHandler.aspx
I think my problem is similar to the one here but that workaround doesn't seem to work for me.
I should also comment that I'm using the Areas feature within MVC.
EDIT: Forgot to add: When exporting the report to PDF the images are shown ok.
I don't know much about crystal reports, but is there an Http Handler? If there is and you are running IIS 7 on the live server, is the handler registered in the web.config under both system.web/httpHandlers and under system.webServer/handlers?
I forget to register the handlers under system.webServer/handlers for our IIS 7 server sometimes and we were having a similar issue with the Microsoft Charting Controls.
