I've exhausted my understanding of CSS and JS while tackling this issue.

When the Disqus comments load below, they do not push down their container. This happens in Safari and Chrome, but looks just fine in Firefox and acts as I imagined it would. I contacted Disqus about it and they said that it's possible I have JavaScript somewhere on the page that is not allowing the height to expand, but I've tried disabling all the other JS except for Disqus and it still occurs.
Has anyone seen this happen before? None of the container elements have a fixed height on them.
give div#dsq-content a height: auto;. Currently it's using .clearfix's height of 1px.

I recently took an interest in building websites and am still very inexperienced, so my apologies if this is easily answered.
I was asked by a friend to build her a simple portfolio website for fashion designs. As such, the website mainly has image galleries. The images come in various sizes and rather than ordering them manually to make it look better, I found the Masonry plugin. I implemented masonry.pkgd.min.js into my code (initialized through the HTML) and ran into two issues:
The main issue that might make question 2 moot entirely… It looks fine in IE and Firefox, but the images come up overlapping in Chrome and it looks horrible. I cleared my cache several times and tried implementing the imagesLoaded plug-in, which did absolutely nothing. I am very new to Javascript and as such have to rely on copy/pasting this sort of plug-in whereas someone else might be able to delve in and tweak it, but at the same time I had no issues getting tabbed content and this does work in two browsers. Any idea why it doesn’t work in Chrome and what I can do to fix it?
After the plug-in, I don’t seem to have any control over automatically centering the image columns in the gallery/container and they are aligned left by nature. I more or less fixed this by manually setting a margin-left that puts everything in the right place, but would like to know if there is a better solution.
Please let me know if I need to include screenshots or specific code.
Issue One:
Try adding imagesLoaded. Chrome in particular has an issue if you don't use it with masonry. I suggest trying the solution in the third box first, it's the easiest and fastest loading. This code will go in your .js file if you have one, or in your script tags if you don't.
If the "why" interests you, it's because your containers load before your pictures and don't know how tall they should be.
Issue Two:
You're right on with this one. You can't center the whole masonry container itself (you can get close, but at certain browser widths there will be a small gutter on the right), but you can center the images within their containers by adding a margin like you did or using:
position: relative;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
In the project I currently work on we experience very strange rendering issue. The worst thing is that this issue emerges completely spontaneously and after several days of testing we haven't managed to find the sequence of actions wich would reproduce this issue. Here is an explanation of how this bug look like. Here is a screenshot of how the page should look like:
But instead of this after some manipulations content block pops up so only the part of the content is visible and its look like:
The most strange thing is that such a position of the block is not based on values of CSS properties as shown by Web Inspector.
As you can see the CSS properties are ok, while the position of the block is not. This fact suggest me that it could be some rendering bug of the WebKit engine
The project is built using Ext JS 3.4 and it is a classical one-page web application. This issue was seen in the last versions of Chrome and Safari on Mac OS 10.7/10.8. Though due to the spontaneous nature of this issue it might be present in other browsers and platforms too.
Any piece of advice on how to debug such issues or how it could arise is welcome.
Please check if any of your code or Ext JS's code is using scrollIntoView method, we have seen similar issue when scrollIntoView is called on any element that does not have overflow set to auto and it is inside an clipped element that is probably placed relatively positioned.
It seems bug in webkit because it scrolls clipped element which is not happening in other browsers.
I also see two elements in same hierarchy which has overflow set to auto. And scrollIntoView is scrolling wrong element.
Chrome and safari on Mac are having problems with scrolling. If the element has been scrolled and the content changes, the scroll position is kept even if the content is not high enough to require a scrolling.
The work around we have found in our application is to resize the container (the one that has the scroll) so that it has the scrollbar (or else you cannot play with the scrolling properties) and then reset the scrolling, and the height.
$(container).css('height',1).scrollTop('1').css('height','');
Here is how we do it in jQuery. You will not even see a flickering :)
I am not sure if it is the problem, but this thing kept us on our feet for a while.
i went through the same problem while working with a sencha touch 2 app and because thats same as ExtJS i have a solution for you
this probably is a bug in the framework and this happens when the ExtJS renders the application before the browser populates mayb the correct window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight and thus the viewport cannot take the correct width and height. this also explains the randomness of the event. This becomes more prominent when used on mobiles probably because of the limited resources and slow response.
the solution that i took to handle this mayb isnt a good one but i couldnt find a better one considering is a glitch in the framework itself
i poll for the correct height and width of the browser for around a sec after every say 100ms for the correct height and width of the window and if i find that the height OR width of the viewport isnt same i re adjust it. because you are working with ExtJS and app would run on high powered systems(as compared to mobile phones) i would recommend a smaller interval and then to be safe a larger time period to which it polls.
heres the code that i use currently edit according to your needs
var aId = setInterval(function () {
if (Ext.Viewport.getWidth() !== window.innerWidth || Ext.Viewport.getHeight() !== window.innerHeight) {
Ext.Viewport.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
clearInterval(aId);
}
num = num + 1;
if (num > 10) {
clearInterval(aId);
}
}, 100)
i currently use this code inside the launch function of the app. but you can also use this inside the show event of the viewport for which you should keep the interval time to minimum possible to avoid any lags.
with this if you think this app might be used on devices where the window height and width would be changed by the user (like that of mobile browser when the orientation changes or if you think user would change the height and width of the browser window). then just copy & paste the same code piece inside the viewports resize event so that it also polls and resizes viewport when the size of the viewport changes.
Did you try adding a clear:both; block after the toolbar div ?
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
#bjornd it's pretty hard to debug without any code :)
Is the toolbar positioned and has the content an ID that's called in the URL?
In other words: is there some link (e.g.) that triggers #content and has no preventDefault() etc? This would scroll the page probably.
I dunno, this was the first thing that came to mind.
It could also be the toolbar content that is (for some reason) no longer cleared or some change in the content's top position (relative to another changed/removed element?)
Try and create a stripped-down test-case that contains the simplest of code but still triggers the bug. If you post that (through e.g. a Fiddle etc) we can have a proper look.
It might be a css issue;
I've had a similar issue using equal height divs by setting a padding-bottom: 99999px; and margin-bottom: -99999px;. Which workes fine in all cases, except when you use hashtag anchors to jump to a div further on the page. Jump down.
In that case the top of the page clipped and started with the div I wanted to see.
Since you say the problem is pretty hard to track, this might be something to have a look at. The solution was to remove these 2 css lines and use another method of setting div heights.
I'm working on a jQuery lightbox type plugin that needs to function for mobile devices and desktops. I'm having a problem with the full screen overlay effect. From my research, it seems that the standard solution for this is to use position: fixed or background-attachment: fixed to accomplish the overlay effect. Of course, mobile devices don't support fixed positioning, and so I'm trying to find another way.
Right now, I'm attaching a function to $( window ).on( 'resize' ) to get the new dimensions of the window and set the overlay to them. The problem I'm seeing is that this is triggering flickering scroll bars that make the whole thing really jumpy when I size the window down. You can see the effect here: (http://jsfiddle.net/dominic_p/ZqLCx/3/ or http://3strandsmarketing.com/lightbox.php).
Any idea how I can solve this? The code is still in heavy development so it's kind of a mess, but I tried to highlight what I think the 2 problem areas are in the jsFiddle with a comment that says "THE PROBLEM: START".
UPDATE:
I had a brilliant idea to just change the positioning to fixed for desktop browsers and still rely on my resizing scripts for mobile browsers. It seems to have helped a lot, but there is still some significant flicker when the browser window starts to get small (especially when shrinking it vertically). Also, when using position: fixed on Android 4 there is suddenly a large white gap on the side of the screen that I can horizontally scroll to in portrait mode only. Anyone have an idea of how to resolve either problem?
The solution for the flicker problem seems to be to set the overflow-x (or just overflow if you prefer) property for the <body> element to hidden. For curiosity's sake, it actually wasn't the overlay layer, but the lightbox contents that were causing the flicker.
I'm still struggling with the white gap that shows up on Android, but that's a separate problem, so I'm posting this as the solution.
I have the following webpage:
A tall webpage with only a vertical scrollbar and no horizontal scrollbar. The document and window therefore have the same width.
When I ask IE8 for $(document).width(), it returns the viewport width including the vertical scrollbar. FF returns the right answer.
I cannot use $('body') for this, because it returns the same width as the window object (it is set to 100% somehow, so it doesn't work when the page gets smaller).
How can I make IE8 output the right value? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
I actually did some more testing to my problem. and I found that when the horizontal scrollbar becomes visible as well (because of a smaller window), IE8 DOES get the right size. So this makes my problem even more complicated because I can't set an ugly if(IE8)-hack.
UPDATE2
The problem lies in my CSS and jQuery.
The actual case seems to be the problem:
My css says:
body
{
overflow-y:scroll;
}
IE8 doesn't count this as part of the body, but IE7 does. How to fix this? Call jQuery for a fix?
I put this problem to the jQuery crew: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8048.
They don't think it's a bug. Their advice is to use $('body').width(). And this does indeed the job for me.
I still find it strange that the body in IE8 is adjusted to the scrollbar, but the $(document).width() stays the same. I used this jsFiddle for testing. It results in the same glitch, but jQuery thinks it's ok, because W3C doesn't say anything about it... Or something like that.
EDIT: Firefox 2 windows XP
Steps to reproduce problem:
Firefox 2 and visit: http://resopollution.com/rentfox/html/property_setup.html
Begin Typing and pressing [enter key] to create new lines
After about 10 [enter key] presses you'll notice the screen shaking
How this happened
This began happening after I installed a plugin for jQuery. It's located here:
http://resopollution.com/rentfox/html//js/textarea.js
It makes it so the textarea is expandable as I type, depending on how many lines there are in the text area, up to a max-height value which can be specified in CSS.
I tried disabling the 'setHeight' function within this plugin (the only thing that changes height dynamically) but I still saw the screen shaking.
When I think the problem might be
Firefox thinks that the screen just got larger, and compensates by putting in a scrollbar on the right side of the body document.
However, it realizes that in fact the page didn't get larger, and removes the scrollbar, causing the shaking.
I have no idea where in the code that makes Firefox think this way...
Appreciate any help.
You can either force a scrollbar: http://css-tricks.com/eliminate-jumps-in-horizontal-centering-by-forcing-a-scroll-bar/
or hide the overflow of the div and try to get rid of the scrollbar, try overflow: hidden instead of auto in the div propertySetup
Can't reproduce, works fine here in Mac OSX + Firefox 3.5.
I can reproduce it (Debian Lenny, IceWeasel 3.0.6), but only with a very, very specific window size for FireFox (just slightly taller than 1024px, depending on your system font size, window manager and number of toolbars shown).
Just make your page slightly shorter or taller and the problem goes away. The problem only occurs when the addition of a new line after the 10th or so causes firefox to grown the page just enough to cause the scrollbar to appear. Just as you guessed.
That's a tiny 10px margin that is dependent on a lot of browser and system specific settings. In your page that margin is somewhere around the 1024px limit, depending on system font, toolbars, window decorations and the phase of the moon. Move that margin out of the 1024px region. Either make the page 40-50px shorter so that the scrollbar does not appear (even with large system fonts and an extra toolbar) or make it taller so the scrollbar is always there. Zoltan Lengyel's answer in this thread to always force the scrollbar can also be used.
I can reproduce it in Firefox 3.0.11 in Win XP.
Adding overflow:hidden to the body tag seemed to fix the problem, but doing that may wind up causing you more grief then disabling the plugin altogether. Giving the body tag overflow-x:scroll will stick a scrollbar there permanently but seems to solve it, too.
I reproduced it on Windows, FF3.
Interestingly it seems to happen within the jQuery .height() function!
Unfortunately you're using the minified version, so that's as far as I can get.
