Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / March 2005Overlapping divs in Firefox until refresh
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem before. Every now and then a div on my page will overlap with another. This only happens in firefox (vs. IE and Safari) and it corrects itself when you refresh the page. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks.

Thanks. could it be that firefox is not perfect, or is this inconceivable ?? Well I'd just like to know if it's something I can fix or not. If it's a bug in firefox that can't be fixed, then I could tell my boss "hey, this can't be fixed" instead of working on it for such a long time.

Without a URL it's impossible to say what the cause or solution, if there is one, might be. SignatureReply email address is a bottomless spam bucket. Please reply to the group so everyone can share. I doubt the bug is in Firefox. So far, 95% of all the CSS glitches I have found between IE and FF, it turned out to be that IE was the buggy one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Well I'd just like to know if it's something I can fix or not.

The problem still remains one where 90% of the market is using a buggy, non-compliant browser but they don't know that it's a buggy, non-compliant browser because there wasn't a non-buggy, compliant competitor out there for many years when the buggy, non-compliant browser had 98% of the market. I've now taken to testing my designs first in Firefox and then doing whatever I need to do to make them look/work the same in IE. Traffic to one of my client web sites has, since November, gone from 97% IE to 57% IE : 38% Firefox useage. kchayka Wrote: > Without a URL it's impossible to say what the cause or solution, if > there is one, might be. Unfortunately I can't show you the URL - it's on a dev server and still hasn't been officially announced. As for the IE vs. FF discussion that seems to have arisen, I have no doubt that there is something in my code causing the overlapping, I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced it so I know where to start looking. Thanks for the insight anyway. :cool: Signaturegpbmike My point was that if it works in FF but not IE, then the greater chance is that it is an IE bug, and you will have to find a work around for it. IE treats things like borders wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ...

I have the problem on a page that is valid xhtml strict. I just assumed that firefox was not perfect as the page works fine when held in the browser cache. Sorry, I don't have a fix, Signaturepeter |
