Differences In Rendering Elements Between Mozilla/Firefox And IE
Jul 23, 2005
Mozilla/Firefox seems to be wrong when rendered elements with sizes
given in percents and that are placed into another elements with
percentage sizes, if the content overflows them (of course, overflow is
set to the value of "scroll")
To check the written above please use the given below code:
I'm familiar with Java so I shouldn't be too lost. What I'm about to do is add support for a web app from Firefox to IE that uses OpenLayers.
I've searched and found a link to this site from another thread which had a list of supported functions and what not here: [URL]
From what I've read in the last hour it seems as though I will have to use some browser sniffing (isMozilla, isIE8, etc) and have multiple conditions (if-else's) in my functions to use the proper calls. Does anyone have extra material that contains differences between IE and firefox? Someone mentioned to me that in lists IE doesn't support trailing commas but ff does..
Does anyone know why the following code would work perfectly in FireFox but error out in IE7?
function readPageNumber() { var split1 = document.cookie.split("="); var split2 = split1[1].split("/"); <-- This is the line that errors var split3 = split2[4].split("."); var page = split3[0]; return page; }
The error reads:
Error: Ƈ' is null or not an object.
So why does FireFox execute the code correctly and IE7 does not?
This is what im trying to achieve. At the top of my page there is some search functionality, through which you cause to be loaded a string representing an HTML page. Below this and occuupying about 80% of the window real estate, there is a DIV. There is also a toggle button with two options "Code View" and "Text View" as I have named them. Depending on which mode you are in, you can see the block of HTML either as code (in other words the tags are not rendered. You see the HTML as it exists.) or as text (rendered HTML). Consider the following code, which is a simplified version of the page.
<script language="javascript"> var mode = "code"; var s = "<html><head> <style type="text/css"> My Stylesheet </style> <title> MyTitle </title> </head> <body>";
The variable s contains an actual example of some HTML im trying to load here (with the contents of the stylesheet omitted.)
Now, the following works fine in Internet Explorer. It does not work at all in Mozilla Firefox. In firefox, for example, I have to cut out the stylesheet, or the entire page goes fubar. Without the embedded stylesheet, the "text" view (rendered html) works just fine. But the "innerText" does not work in Firefox, and im not sure how to replicate it.
The following link when viewed with Chrome (Windows XP) the contents of the iframe take up the remainder of the window and looks fine. When viewed with IE8 (Windows XP) or Firefox (Windows XP) the contents of the iframe shows up in a much smaller scroll box window that is only using a small percentage of the available window.
Safari (Mac OSX) also renders the iframe the same way as Chrome.
Firefox (Max OSX) has the same rendering problem as Firefox (XP).
What coding changes do I need to make so that IE8 and Firefox act like Chrome and Safari and use the rest of the window for the iframe contents.

Here's the example:Basically, there is a QuickTime object under one of the expanded menus. When the menu is opened, the QT partially renders on top of the menu, especially when rolling over the expanded menu.Only tested in FF and Safari as of now, and it only happens in FF.I tried some of the Flash solutions, but no dice.
I have the following script in a page and it gets an error in IE 6. Says something about an invalid argument but the line number doesn't help since I can't see the javascript code when viewing source.
I have this script in a popup page where the user selects a user ID (id) and that value is then placed into one of the parent window's form text field called "userId". This script works fine in the latest Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox but not in IE 6. Any help on why this script might not work or a better way of accomplishing this task would be appreciated. Code:
I want to open popup on clicking link and onmouseover the link i want to show url in status bar .if i give it in href then onclicking it open the new window and submit the parent window
i use mouseover function to give status bar url it work in IE7 but not in mozilla
I am working on a website and have a button on that page as a bookmark. However, when I go to Mozilla Firefox, it displays the same button to mark as a bookmark. Is there a way to disable the button in Mozilla Firefox to only show up in Internet Explorer at this point using Javascript?
I have an XML page I'm trying to load with javascript to display on Mozilla Firefox. I can get this to work on Internet Explorer but it would not work on Firefox. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone glance at my short piece of code below and tell me why this wouldn't work on firefox? Code:
Firefox has a Javascript Console that has 3 panels besides "All" and "Clear": "Errors", "Warnings", "Message".
Does anyone know a way to log a message in the Message panel with JavaScript? That would really help debugging. I know there's a way involving XPCOM, but that only works with "trusted" scripts, and scripts loaded thru html aren't trusted.
Found a simple script to show and hide layers. Using this to have an ad with 60px height and onMouseOver 350px
function adtechhideElement(elmID) { for (i = 0; i < document.all.tags(elmID).length; i++) { obj = document.all.tags(elmID)[i]; if (! obj || ! obj.offsetParent) continue; obj.style.visibility = "hidden"; } } function adtechshowElement(elmID) { for (i = 0; i < document.all.tags(elmID).length; i++) { obj = document.all.tags(elmID)[i]; if (! obj || ! obj.offsetParent) continue; obj.style.visibility = ""; } } but the thing is this doesn't work in firefox/mozilla.
Where should I alter this to get it working in firefox?
How do you transform a data Island and/or XML file with an XSLT in anything besides Explorer. Any kind of semi-well written resource would mean the world to me (or better yet an example). I'd be a dangerous man if I knew how to.
I have this web browser which opens up a website that has a drop down list showing values that the user can select. And when I the firebug to inspect the elements in the page, what shows in the inspection window is this: [code]What I'm supposed to do is to get the values and update them automatically to the database. I'm actually using HtmlUnit to do this project, and I've heard how I can use getElementById() to get the values. But I don't know how to start.
I'm having a small problem, I'm trying to reach this: (This is just regular JavaScript).
But, when I'm trying to get it working on Mozilla FireFox (Combined with MacBook Pro), it fails. So I want to try with jQuery, but I don't know about it,
I built jQuery UI tabs with jQuery UI Accordion embedded into each tab. It works fine on my local machine, it also works fine on all browsers in the development server except using Mozilla Firefox.
