Display problems with NVidia card on OS X and bad website CSS

by caktux | Sat, 02/21/2009 - 10:24

I've ordered many times from them without any problems. I even let it go about a month ago when I emailed them about it... but... a month later? and still having a website that looks like that and is probably unusable to most people on a Mac I guess.

After further investigation (since it's still getting on my nerves since I haven't made myself a Greasemonkey script for it...), it seams their image*, which is 30 000px high and set to repeat is just too much... and it is. In Firefox and Safari the whole background does not get rendered. I don't know if it's OS X that doesn't like those stupid bits of html/css/images put together or both browsers, but it's a first for me.

Here's the bad code :

* http://images.tigerdirect.ca/mastheadClean/mastheadBG3x2400ca3.gif
from

BODY { background-image:url('http://images.tigerdirect.ca/mastheadClean/mastheadBG3x2400ca3.gif'); background-repeat:repeat }

at line 97 of http://www.tigerdirect.ca/

That's all it takes to screw a page up :) Now, the CSS :

BODY { background: #fff url('http://images.tigerdirect.ca/mastheadClean/mastheadBG3x2400ca3.gif') repeat-x left top;
}

And, most of all, cut that background image at 142px of height... geez...

Sorry about that slap on the wrist, guys from TigerDirect. I must say I just ordered for a good amount again and everything seems to be going as smooth as usual. This is really my web developper annoyance of the month...

Bad bad tigerdirect.ca ...
