Line-height declaration in short-hand form

Permalink | Safari | 1 comments
Reported on 29 September 2006

Safari doesn't show line-heights defined in the shorthand font declaration:

font:bold italic 14px/40px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

The line height should be 40px, but it's not, in safari.

The solution is quite simple, though: use the common way to declare line-height:

line-height:40px;

"unknown" returned as type

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows | 0 comments
Reported on 28 September 2006

IE 6 returns "unknown" as the type for the getAttributeNode function, instead of "undefined", making object detection more difficult. This happens for nodes in an Msxml2.XMLHTTP object, but not for normal HTML.

Permalink | Mozilla | 2 comments
Reported on 25 September 2006

When the HTML table attribute border="1" is used with the CSS table property border-collapse: collapse; and the CSS table cell property border-style: none;, Mozilla incorrectly inserts a 1-pixel-wide black border between the cells in the table.

Incompatibility in "children" DOM property

Permalink | Safari | 1 comments
Reported on 22 September 2006

In Safari 2.0.4 (and possibly other versions), a Node's "children" property includes all descendant nodes, not just the immediate children. The "childNodes" property correctly returns only the immediate child nodes.

Background Image Paint Bug

Permalink | Explorer 7 | 1 comments
Reported on 21 September 2006

IE7 has problems painting the background image of a div. You can move over the page and it repaints it white! The bug appears to be triggered by a line of code referencing a non-existent element.

Overflow Hidden not hiding

Permalink | Explorer 5-6 Windows, Explorer 7 | 2 comments
Reported on 19 September 2006

If a parent element is overflow:hidden, any of its children or grandchildren should be invisible if they fall in the overflow area.

In IE 6 and 7 beta 2, if a child has position:relative, its contents are totally visible although the parent is overflow:hidden
