css target chrome on windows - windows

Is there anyway to target chrome on windows? I'm looking to do this because of the difference in border-radius rendering. Chrome on osx seems to work fine, only problematic in Chrome on Windows. Thanks.

If you really, really have to do this, I recommend this CSS Browser Selector script:

Of course, you'll have to update your site when the browser issue gets fixed. :p

error parallax effect in firefox but works on google chrome

I need your help my website is not functioning properly on firefox browser but in edge, chrome and opera and safari it works only firefox is not functioning properly
Firefox Browser
Google Chrome Browser
I would recommend setting up all your projects in Xampp or something similar first before testing it. If you are going to upload to a server you need to replicate the environment locally before you decide whether it is going to work or not. It seems complicated but it is quite simple, you can find out more here. https://www.apachefriends.org/
That said, check your urls, they are not the same for your two different screens, the one is referencing an anchor tag.

Font rendering fine on Mac, messed up on Windows

I ran into a problem with font rendering on Windows.
I'm used to a little difference in rendering between Mac and Windows, but this just made my mouth fall open. I tested the site thoroughly on Mac and I'm positive it looks just fine in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
It looks like this on Mac browsers:
On Windows, it looks completely messed up in any browser (I tested Chrome, Firefox and IE):
I know Mac has Iowan Old Style installed by default, so I tried forcing the Mac browsers to use the webfont I generated using FontSquirrel, but that doesn't reproduce the problem on Mac.
Both browsers seem to load the same font (namely the woff version) correctly. Does anybody have any idea what this could be?
I can't post the link to the website because I don't have enough reputation, please look at the screenshots for the URL..
Thanks guys!
After some more research I found out the original (ttf) font worked perfectly fine on Windows, so it had to be FontSquirrel that caused the problems. I tried out 8 different types of settings on FontSquirrel and kept having the same issues.
After a while I decided to try a different generator and I came across Fontie: https://fontie.flowyapps.com/home
This actually solved the problem for me!

How to use modernizr to make firefox support google OpenSans font?

I am using google Opensans font. It works fine in almost all browser except Firefox.
Should I use Modernizr? If it is, then how can I do it?
Edited: I've update firefox to 29.1. But still not working. Here is a demo in codepen. See, it's not displaying opensans.
just loading the font and using it works fine in firefox 28, so more than likely there is something else going on. Can you post a codepen/jsfiddle showing the issue?

#font-face fonts unloading when switching applications/tabs

Generally speaking my font works fine but I'm seeing on odd occasions such as switching back to the browser from another application and sometimes when switching back from another tabs that my font seems to have unloaded and is using the fallback font.
I'm struggling to consistently replicate this and when I have seen it there are no errors.
I have also seen this happen in Chrome and Firefox on windows and osx and at a bit of a loss as to how this can be happening.
I haven't seen this issue in Firefox personally, but it is a known bug in Chrome.

IE8 Browser Mode vs IE8 in XP Mode CSS renders differenty?

Please forgive me if I placed this in the wrong section of Stack Exchange, I will be happy to repost elsewhere, Im just not sure which section to go to.
Why does IE8 display differently in Browser Mode (which is accessible through the IE10 F12 Developer Tools) than in XP Mode?
It seems that the CSS is rendered differently. Does anyone know the details as to why this occurs?
IE8 Browser Mode vs IE8 in XP Mode CSS renders differenty?
Yep, that's a pretty well-documented problem. It may be called compatibility mode, but the fact is, it isn't really all that compatible.
This is why it's generally considered a bad idea to use compatibility mode to do your testing.
Ultimately the only reliable way to test that a site works in IE8 is to actually load it in a real copy of IE8. XP Mode is a good way to do that.
I agree it's more of a hassle than switching the mode in IE10, but unfortunately, that's the way it is.
