Browser incompatibility issues are very common while you are creating a CSS (Cascading style sheet) for your project. You are exposed to variety of bugs or issues that might create issues while browsing experience because of browser incompatibility. Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are two standard browsers with the maximum number of users worldwide, so these two first come while discussing browser incompatibility. Apple Safari and Google Chrome are other two browsers that are gradually becoming more popular among users.
The browser bugs for CSS are becoming common these days and can cause a lot of problems for web developers and designers. They are smartly authored to cause frustration among the users and obstruct their work.
In this article you would find five most commo
CSS browser bugs that cause compatibility issues.
Internet Explorer display bug
This is counted as a leading bug faced by developers and designers. This affects the display of pages. It majorly affects the look and feel of the design, especially the borders or edges. Before you fix this bug, you must ensure that it is a bug only and not a coding or design related fault. Once it is ascertained that it is a bug, you should try the debugging tools that are available online without any downloading fee.
Floating images in body text
This is another bug that you face because of the browser incompatibility. When faced with this bug, the images travel down to the bottom of the page and overlap on the images to give entire page a very clumsy look. It sticks out at the bottom in the text body and you fail to read out anything from the content field. This is a cause of frustration to the designers and it is also not easy to fix.
IE White Space bug
Next in the list of CSS browser bugs is the White Space bug that creates extra white spaces in between the list of items or texts. Once infected with this bug, the IE starts treating white spaces between the lines as a literal linefeed. The most effective fix for this bug is to remove the white spaces that are creating the problem.
CSS Min-Height bug
This is another frustrating CSS bug that causes browser incompatibility. It is mainly caused because of the heavy and complicated HTML coding. Again this bug can be fixed by reviewing the HTML coding and simplifying it.
Duplicate Character bug
While using IE you are at a risk of facing duplicate character bug most often. This bug involves several floating elements like text characters. The text characters get duplicated and remain below the surface to disturb the entire look and feel of the design. This is really a brain teasing bug as sometime you might just fail to find out something that can fix it. It takes hours to find out the root cause of the problem and handle it accordingly. The above mentioned are the five most faced CSS bugs responsible for browser incompatibility. If you are facing either of these then the right fix can be searched through the online research or going through various blogs authored on the basis of experiences of the victims of these bugs.
