Internet Explorer CSS Bugs

Overview

Internet Explorer is famous for not supporting many of CSS properties as well as contaning numerous bugs in the ones it supports.

This page lists problems in Internet Explorer, samples demontrating them as well as solutions where such are known.

Even though I've tried to classify the bugs based on their nature, many bugs can be classified under several sections in which case the bug will appear only under General Bugs section.

Stats

Currently the site contains 46 "General Bugs" tutorials, 5 "hasLayout Bugs" tutorials, 6 "No Support Workarounds"tutorials and 1 "Crash Bugs" tutorials; all that totals to 58 tutorials and 70 solutions.

Latest tutorial was published on: Wed Aug 19 15:38:47 2009.

The site contains 44 IE6 bugs, 28 IE7 bugs and 19 IE8 bugs.

Note on Versions

In tutorials you'll see phrases such as "Affected: IE8 and all below" or "Fixes: all versions". By "all" I mean IE6, IE7 and IE8.IE5 and IE5.5 are history and this site does not consider those versions in the tutorials and solutions.

General Bugs

This section contains IE bugs that don't quite fit into other section or can be classified into two or more sections at the same time.

Bug Name Affected Versions Description
Image Label Focus Bug IE8, IE7, IE6 <img> elements that are inside <label> elements, when clicked, do not cause the focus to be transfered to corresponding form control.

PNG Image and Background Color Mismatch IE8, IE7, IE6 Colors specified in CSS differ from the ones used in PNG images despite having the same color code
