Webkit choking on rendering multiple text-shadow & box-shadow values with webkit-transition - webkit

CSS3 -webkit-transition is choking on multiple box-shadow values and text-shadow values. (Chrome & Safari)
More specifically, I have two scenarios...
I have text has a document heading that has three text-shadows (for appearance of depth). I am also using the -webkit-transition rule to change the color of the text-shadow on hover so that it appears to glow on hover.
I have links which I'm using the box-shadow rule on in the same way as above, with three values for depth effect. Also using -webkit-transition here to change the color of the buttons and text for a hover effect.
The Problem: For both instances above, when hovering over the elements webkit appears to render the transition as one at a time, so the values don't all fade into their new values simultaneously. Instead, they appear as each one is rendered - one after the other, and it is a very awkward transition as you'll see.
I have several instances, and here are links to some of them:
(make sure to view in Chrome or Safari)
-Text-shadow transition on :hover for page h1 ("GIFT of HEALING" text): http://cure.org/goh
-Box-shadow transition on :hover for 1st slide call to action ("Read More" button): http://cure.org
-Box-shadow transition on :hover for footer nav links (About, Rods, etc): http://tuscaroratackle.com
Finally, here's a sample of the code I'm using:
(Not from any site, just an example I built for this question; see it live here: http://joelglovier.com/test/webkit-shadow-transition-bug.html)
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
ul {
overflow:hidden;
width:500px;
height:auto;
margin:50px 100px;
background:rgba(0,0,0,.4);
border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,1);
-webkit-border-radius:10px;
-webkit-box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 5px rgba(255,255,255,.5),0px 2px 10px #6e5e4c;
-webkit-transition:all .5s ease;
}
ul:hover {
-webkit-box-shadow:inset 0px 0px 10px rgba(255,255,255,.5),0px 2px 10px #92d400;
}
li {
display:inline-block;
}
a:link,a:visited {
float:left;
display:block;
padding:6px 10px;
margin:10px 20px;
font:bold 18px/22px Tahoma,Helvetical,Arial,sans-serif;
text-decoration:none;
color:#000;
background:#92d400;
-webkit-border-radius:4px;
-webkit-box-shadow:inset 1px 1px 0px #b7f52f,0px 4px 0px #5c8500,0px 3px 10px #000;
-webkit-transition:all .5s ease;
}
a:hover,a:focus {
background:#198c45;
-webkit-box-shadow:inset 1px 1px 0px #1ac65c,0px 3px 0px #046228,0px 3px 10px #fff;
}
a:active {
position:relative;
top:1px
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>link 1</li>
<li>link 2</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
So the question here really is is there any way to prevent that ordered rendering, such as using different syntax in my CSS? (such as a specific order of the multiple box-shadow values, or using multiple box-shadow declarations instead of adding them all into one rule?)
05/09/2011 UPDATE: The bug has been reported to Webkit (see Husar's comment below). Also, I see that recent builds of Chrome (specifically my current 10.0.648.205 version) is rendering a smoothe transition now, effectively eliminating the bug. Safari however (version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1)) still displays the buggy rendering.

Apparently this is just a bug with webkit rendering, and there is no apparent fix.

I've also noticed that when you use jQuery, for example, to simply fade text in or out, WebKit "hiccups." So basically, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I don't think your particular styles have anything to do with it. I could be completely wrong. If you find out what the deal is, I'd love to hear a solution because I too have run into this annoyance a time or two.

this could help to fix this problem on rendering for hovering events
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0px);
-moz-transform: translateZ(0px);

Bootstrap: is it possible to add title block in html/css code?

I'm using a CMS theme that contains all of Bootstrap 3. Is it possible to add a title block manually in HTML/CSS? I'm not sure if that's the block's official name... it's the purple full-width block containing the text:
CSS
Global CSS settings, fundamental HTML elements styled and enhanced with extensible classes, and an advanced grid system.
in the following link (for example):
http://getbootstrap.com/css/
This title block is built into my theme and is available based on the design for the page I select.
But I was wondering if this block is available separately from Bootstrap, like a Navbar, panel, well, etc. component, that I can just include some HTML/CSS code and have it appear in the body of a page, for example.
No it's not in bootstrap but it's pretty easy to grab the style and use it anywhere:
.bs-docs-header {
font-size: 24px;
padding-bottom: 60px;
padding-top: 60px;
text-align: left;
}
.bs-docs-masthead, .bs-docs-header {
background-color: #6F5499;
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #563D7C 0px, #6F5499 100%);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
color: #CDBFE3;
padding: 30px 15px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}
check this jsfiddle
If you look at their source, they are using a stylesheet called docs.min.css, they have defined the background in here. Other then that it is just a simple <div class="container"><!--title and subtitle here-->. So the answer is a yes and a no. You can, of course, use containers seperately from your CMS when using bootstrap, but the background will not be available unless you strip it from the getbootstrap.com source.
Edit
If you see their styles, they are using this code in their docs.min.css:
#media (min-width: 768px)
.bs-docs-header h1 {
font-size: 60px;
line-height: 1;
}
}
This means, when the width of your window is above 768 pixels, it gives the h1 a font-size of 60px. When you fall under it, this code is ignored and the default bootstrap font-size is being applied.
Edit 2
To get a background-color behind it, don't apply the background color to the .container. wrap a div around it without a width value. The container width is not full width, so if you apply a background to it, its only behind the container that is centered.
Edit 3
A simple HTML structure would be something like this (you still have to include all bootstrap styles and default html tags etc.
<html>
<body>
<div id="bgColorDiv">
<div class="container">
<h1>My title</h1>
<p>Paragraph below the title</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Safari 6: On an <IMG>, when box-shadow spread set to 0 AND a background-color value is set, no box-shadow is rendered at all

This looks like a recently introduced bug that manifests on both iOS6 and Safari 6. Has anyone else gotten bitten by this?
What might be a work around? What if we really actually needed that box shadow to have spread=0? Right now we can get the shadow to render by setting the spread value to -1px or 1px
FIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/uCseS/2/
It seems like a bug indeed. However, if you use rgba notation for the background-color, the shadow reappears.
img{
background-color: rgba(255,255,0,0);
box-shadow: #000 2px 2px 10px 0px;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(2px, 5px, 0px);
} ​

Safari 6 Round Corners Glitch

Hi! As you can see on the image, there's a strange behaviour in safari 6 with round corners
{ border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; }
when hovering over the elements there is a thin line that's building up when hovering more and more times... The first and second link wasn't hovered over, and you can see different lines caused by hovering mouse over the elements a few times...
Is that just a bug in safari?
I haven't seen this exact behavior before, but I've seen similar. I assume you are on a Retina MBP? and certainly on Mountain Lion. Safari is occasionally having issues with border-radius and virtual resolution (which is how the retina display works).
Try quitting safari, changing your resolution, and opening it again. If it looks better at first, then you'll just have to wait for a fix from Apple.
In the meantime, you might have some luck making sure all border styles make it hidden:
border-color: transparent;
border-style: none;
border-width: 0;
Hope that helps!
-Mike
This post may answer your question CSS rounded corners bug in Safari?.
Try to use:
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
instead of:
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;

CSS problem box-shadow with vertically rendered text

I have some text rotated 270 degrees, which I would like to apply the -moz-box-shadow/box-shadow/-webkit-box-shadow CSS propert to. Unfortunately, the browsers all render the box shadow as if the text block element has not been rotated (i.e the shadow position is 90 degrees away from where it should be as if in standard left-to-right rendering)
Is there a way to overcome this problem?
This works for me. Can you post your code so we can see what you're doing? (For example one thing you could be doing is setting your transform - rotate on a span element but setting your box-shadow on a container div.)
Here is some webkit code that works:
#RRottatte{ -webkit-transform: rotateX(0deg) rotateY(0deg) rotateZ(270deg);
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
top: 300px;
left: 200px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 6px 6px 0px red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="RRottatte">My Rotated Text</div></body>
</html>
You are probably applying the box shadow to a parent container (which is not rotated), you must apply it to the container which has the transform, i.e:

Parts of background-image visible when using border-radius

Using the code below, both Chrome and Opera (latest versions supporting border-radius) on Mac show a small blue area outside the rounded corners (which seems to a part of the defined background-image). Why?
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>Testcase for rounded corners on submit button with bg-image</title>
<style type="text/css">
input[type="submit"] { background: url(http://skriblerier.net/div/rounded-corners-input/bg-bottom.png); color: #fff; height: 40px; width: 150px; border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid #fff; font-size: 14px }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<div><input type="submit" /></div>
</form>
</body>
I worked around this with background-clip: http://www.css3.info/preview/background-origin-and-background-clip/
background-clip: padding-box;
-moz-background-clip: padding;
-webkit-background-clip: padding;
FF3.6 does it as well, but not as noticeably (with -moz-border-radius, of course). Looks like they're trying to automatically smooth out the corners, and just can't hide all of the background when there's also a border applied. Removing the border declaration (not the border radius) will fix it. So:
border-radius: 10px; border: 1px solid #fff; making it: border-radius: 10px;
I suspect, but don't know, that this has to do with the difficulties of faking half-pixels and nesting round shapes in more of a bitmap than vector 'space'.
