How to emulate min-width in IE8 - internet-explorer-8

The IE8 documentation says it supports min-width, but it doesn't seem to work for me.
The html I want to be a minimum width is in table cells.
I saw another question here which suggested adding a 1-pixel height div to each cell, with a width setting, but that doesn't work - IE renders it as 18 pixels high, for some reason.
Here is the html code:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style type="text/css">
table.keyboard div.key {
height: 50px;
font-size:50px;
border: 5px outset gray;
min-width: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
table.keyboard div.spc {
height: 1px;
width: 60px;
background-color: green;
}
table.keyboard td:hover {
background-color: lightblue;
}
table.keyboard {
border: 3px inset blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="body">
<div>Here is some stuff</div>
<table class='keyboard'>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><div class='key'>1</div><div class='spc'></div></td>
<td><div class='key'>2</div><div class='spc'></div></td>
<td><div class='key'>3</div><div class='spc'></div></td>
<td><div class='key'>4</div><div class='spc'></div></td>
<td><div class='key'>5</div><div class='spc'></div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The "spc" div appears 18 px high!
Of course, if min-width worked, I wouldn't need the div...
<table class='keyboard'>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><div class='key'>1</div></td>
<td><div class='key'>2</div></td>
<td><div class='key'>3</div></td>
<td><div class='key'>4</div></td>
<td><div class='key'>5</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Any clues?
Just to make this easier, I have put 3 different versions of this code on my website.


http://jsfiddle.net/3htmA/
IE8. your code works perfect.


The HTML TABLE spec uses COL to define column widths. See the following spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.4
Here's an example of how it's used:
http://www.htmldog.com/guides/htmladvanced/tables/
Min-width on table cells works differently than block-level elements. Table cells are controlled on the column level, not on the individual cell level. If a given cell size increases or decreases, the entire column will be affected, unless explicitly controlled by the tag.


Try this:
table.keyboard .key
{
min-width:60px;
width: expression(this.width < 60 ? 60: true);
}
This width expressions is an alternative for min-width, it supposed to be a workaround for older versions of IE.
I think your problem is that your column is determining the width of the element, not the div.
EDIT:
Also check if your browser is not in Compatibility mode.

Pdfreactor loses running footer

I am working with pdf-reactor and cannot make the header and footer to be in every page. I can, if I have only those two elements, header and footer, they are showing, but soon as I enter a single letter, footer disappears.
<div class="header">
<table class="header header-footer">
<tr>
<td class="invoicetext">header</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<table class="footer header-footer">
<tr>
<td class="pagecounter">footer1</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
And this is the css:
#page {
margin: 2cm 2.5cm 3cm 2.5cm;
#top-left {
content: element(headerIdentifier);
vertical-align: bottom;
}
#bottom-left {
content: element(footerIdentifier);
vertical-align: top;
width: 100%;
}
#bottom-right {
content: element(companyIdentifier);
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 4mm;
width: 100%;
}
}
div.spacing {
margin-top: 1.2em;
}
div.footer, div.header {
font: 9pt arial, sans-serif;
width: 100%;
}
div.footer {
position: running(footerIdentifier);
}
div.header {
position: running(headerIdentifier);
}
No matter where I add another div, on the top, bottom, between the header and footer, footer just disappears. How to prevent this from happening.

We can reproduce this behavior here (issue #7827 in our internal tracking system). It seems to only occur when the running elements contain tables and when they are followed by only inline elements or text.
As a workaround, you could wrap the content after the running elements in a block element like this:
<div class="header">
...
</div>
<div class="footer">
...
</div>
<p>Some Text</p>

Unable to click on a button placed inside an iframe in Safari browser with Selenium

OS: OSX macOS Sierra 10.12.6
Selenium Version: 3.6.0
Browser: Safari
Browser Version: 11.0.1(12604.3.2)
Expected Behavior - click() action should work on a button located inside an iframe in Safari browser
Actual Behavior - No action when performed button.click() action on Safari browser
Steps to reproduce -
Open safari browser
Access web application login screen
Enter valid credentials and click on Login button, pop up appears
Switch to iframe
Click on button placed inside an iframe
No action when clicked on button. Same code is working fine in other browsers(Chrome, Mozilla, IE11)
Below is the code:
SafariOptions options = new SafariOptions();
options.setUseCleanSession(true);
driver = new SafariDriver(options);
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("testurl");
driver.findElement(By.id("UN")).sendKeys("admin");
driver.findElement(By.id("UN")).sendKeys("admin$");
driver.findElement(By.id("Login")).click();
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[starts-with(#class,'dijitDialog') and contains(#style,'z-index: 950;')]//*[starts-with(#id,'AxDojo_Dialog_frame')]")));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ButtonPlaceHolder']/button[2]")).click();
No action when last step is executed.
As work around found an alternate to perform click on the button with below code
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*#id='ButtonPlaceHolder']/button[2]")).sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
But like this we need to change in many areas, Selenium is browser independent and maintenance of code browser wise is tedious task to us. Please can anyone look into this issue.
Please find HTML code inside iframe.

As per the screenshot/HTML you provided, there needs some modification in your code block as follows:
The line :
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[starts-with(#class,'dijitDialog') and contains(#style,'z-index: 950;')]//*[starts-with(#id,'AxDojo_Dialog_frame')]")));
Though the outer HTML element does have the class attribute as dijitDialogPaneContent but doesn't have style attribute as z-index: 950;.
The line :
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#id='ButtonPlaceHolder']/button[2]")).click();
As you are using xpath with index e.g. button[2] the xpath becomes brittle and vulnarable. I would have prefered to expand the <button> tag and use the <span> or any other tag/text present within to construct an unique css/xpath.
Following those 2 observation you can make some minor changes in your code as follows:
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='dijitDialogPaneContent')/iframe[starts-with(#id, 'AxDojo_Dialog_frame')]")));
//clicking the first button
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#class='DialogCustomBtn' and contains(.,'end other session(s)')]")).click();
In-case the loading sequence of this <iframe> is constant, our xpath would be much more generic as follows:
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='dijitDialogPaneContent')//following::iframe[1]")));
//clicking the first button
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[#class='DialogCustomBtn' and contains(.,'end other session(s)')]")).click();

DomPDF table rows have incorrect height when setting a table height

I am trying to display a simple table with fixed height using dompdf:
#d {
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
}
#d td {
vertical-align: top;
padding: 10px;
border-left: 1px solid #e8e8e8;
border-right: 1px solid #e8e8e8;
}
<table id="d">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>aaa</td>
<td>aaa</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>bbb</td>
<td>bbb</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ccc</td>
<td>ccc</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ddd</td>
<td>ddd</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
table bottom
But PDF render is not as I expect:
What I want is that table rows height should be auto-adjusted to the table height like on pure html render: http://jsfiddle.net/qfw627an/
Is there a way to do that with dompdf?
Thanks

you may hate this answer, but you can't get there from here.
I had alot of trouble with DomPDF on a project. It doesn't look like it's gotten better in the last couple years.
Simulating a browser in PHP is a hard problem. Luckily, someone built a "headless" version of Webkit to print PDF's.
http://wkhtmltopdf.org/
We switched to this and were back to working on our application again, instead of endless fiddling with printing.
Good luck!

Why the ComboBox would add a top attribute on the table?

I am using a combo-box control inside Grid View.
I am trying to describe the problem clearly
My HTML Code:
<AJAX:ComboBox ID="ddlContactName1" runat="server"
AutoPostBack="true" Width="190px"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlContactName_SelectIndexChanged"
DropDownStyle="DropDownList" Enabled="false" CssClass="WindowsStyle" AutoCompleteMode="Suggest">
</AJAX:ComboBox>
Code Generated by ASP on browser:
<td class="td_search_box">
<div id="ctl00_MainContent_grdContacts_ctl02_ddlContactType1" class="acb" style="display: inline-block;">
<table id="ctl00_MainContent_grdContacts_ctl02_ddlContactType1_Table" class="ajax__combobox_inputcontainer" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"
style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px; border-collapse: collapse;
display: inline-block; position: relative; top: 5px;">
...........
Combobox (ddlContactType1) renders as div and table inside. Table has class and style. Style has attribute "top: 5px;" causing padding from top.
As a result combobox is shifted on 5 pixels from top and lies above table grid line.
I want to make the top:0px;.How to do this?
Can anybody has any idea?
Thnaks in advance

I got the solution.And hope it will help others,
<style type="text/css">
.ajax__combobox_inputcontainer
{
top:0px !important;
}
</style

Table row height in Firefox

Due to current limitations on getting DIV tags to work well across browser platforms for the particular liquid layout I desire, I have opted to use a combination of Tables and DIVs for layout. That being said, a couple of issues remain.
The FIRST issue is that in Firefox, my table row height for my footer is being rendered differently than it is being rendered in IE when using a table with a height of 100%. What happens is that in Firefox the footer row for the table has a height that is greater than the height specified for the table row. This, in turn, throws off my footer layout.
Here is the code for the page:
<html>
<head>

</html>
And here is the code for the sytle sheet:
html, body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: :#a02f1d;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
a {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 12;
font-weight: 500;
}
.header {
color: #ff0000;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
height: 116px;
background-image: url(stripe.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
.fullheight {
height:100%;}
.lf4 {
float: left;
margin-top: 0px;
clear: left;
width: 240px;
margin-left: 190px;
color: #a02f1d;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: semi-bold;
font-style: italic;
}
.lfc {
float: left;
margin-top: 8px;
margin-left: 20px;
color: #a02f1d;
font-size: 48px;
font-weight: semi-bold;
font-style: italic;
}
.rfl {
float: right;
margin-top: 24px;
margin-right: 20px;
clear: right;
}
.content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
overflow: hidden;
color: :#a02f1d;
}
.spacer {
background-color:#a02f1d;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
height: 4px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.clearspacer {
background-color:#000000;
}
.footer {
color: #ffffff;
background-color:#a02f1d;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
height: 30px;
clear: both;
}
.footertext {
color:#ffffff;
margin-top: 6px;
font-size: 12px;
}
The SECOND issue has to do with modifying the existing layout so that there is a centered vertical area of 760px in width that displays in a shade of color different from the surrounding viewport. The primary difficulty is that in order to get my footer to stick to the bottom in both browsers and resize with the viewport, I had to re-adopt a table layout. The current strategy, however, is to use as few nests as possible in order to benefit from the speed and clarity from using DIVs. I would opt to use a DIV layout to the exclusion of a TABLE layout if it were not for the apparently, currently insoluble problem of getting a working sticky-footer to work with a DIV liquid layout.

I know this is quite unrelated, but I recommend that you use the w3c validator to validate your HTML once in a while.

A couple suggestions:
Add a doctype - if use use the right one you can get IE to standards mode rather than quirks mode http://www.quirksmode.org/css/quirksmode.html, so behaviour will be more consistent between IE and other browsers.
As suggested by K4emic - validate your markup.
Add a css reset to zero default margins and paddings, a good starting point here http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/.
You will find that these things will make chasing down layout bugs a lot easier. Otherwise, you just won't know where to start, is it your css, your html, the default browser stylings, the rendering mode of IE......?

As the other responders pointed out you first have to make sure that your document is well formed. That is, it must conform to a DTD. I will point out one issue that is easy to spot:
<tfoot height="28"><td height="28" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<!-- FOOTER -->
<div class="clearspacer"><img src="1.gif" height="10" width="1"></div>
<div class="footer"><div class="footertext"> w w w . c 4 s q . o r g </div></div>
<!-- FOOTER END -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
In this snippet you can see that your
<tfoot>
element is unclosed. It should contain
<tr>
but that is missing.
These small errors are probably causing the inconsistent behavior that you are witnessing. After they have been corrected if you are still getting the behavior then you can look at the browser differences. Some HTML editor like Frontpage and Dreamweaver can be set to out put code that conforms to a DTD and highlight areas that do not conform. I would recommend using one.
