Extra padding in Chrome and Safari - safari

Safari and Chrome seem to be adding extra padding/margins in regards to the text within the boxes at one of the pages within my website. What can I do to make it appear the same way it does in Firefox and IE?

You have an orphaned closing </p> tag after the link in .boxes. Chrome/Safari add an opening tag; Firefox/IE simply ignore it. You should remove the tag.

NightwatchJS: Safari can't find nested iFrame

I'm having difficulty testing a piece of code using NightwatchJS with Selenium and SafariDriver.
I have an open issue for this on nightwatch repo, although am not sure if it is an issue with nightwatch or something deeper.
The HTML content to be tested looks something like:
<body>
<iframe id="top-iframe" src="about:blank">
#document
<html>
<body>
<container>
<!-- access this iframe to test -->
<iframe id="nested-iframe" src="news.google.com"></iframe>
</container>
</body>
</html>
</iframe>
</body>
Where #nested-frame will need to be accessed from the top level document for inspection of content.
The test code is using NightwatchJS, more details about config, setup and code are in the GitHub issue.
The Gist of the issue:
The problem is that to access the nested iFrame, it needs to first find #top-frame web element, use the returned web element and pass it to frame which makes the WebDriver call to change context of test session to that frame. This is all good with Chrome, FF, and Safari as they can all find this frame web element and make the switch into the frame context. My test that Safari was changing iFrame context, although not sure how good it is, was to try and find another DOM element other than the nested frame, which it could find. The problem comes when with Safari, after switching into #top-frame, it cannot find the #nested-frame web element, and Nightwatch returns a 404 no such element from the HTTP call. Strange, right?
It is very puzzling, my latest thinking was maybe it was a cross origin issue. But then I read on WebDriver switch to frame:
NOTE WebDriver is not bound by the same origin policy, so it is always possible to switch into child browsing contexts, even if they are different origin to the current browsing context.
And I also tried checking Disable Cross Origin Restrictions from Safari Developer menu.
As mentioned before, I can find another DOM element in the #top-frame. I tried things like 10-15s timeouts thinking maybe it needed to load. I can inspect the browser with debugger and see that #nested-frame is there and the content loads as expected. There are not console errors indicating any content failed to load.
It's very puzzling to me and I'm not sure how to further debug. Maybe someone else with a fresh perspective could have a suggestion or if someone has run into a similar situation as this. Throwing this out into the universe as information is limited on the topic too, so maybe this could help someone else. TIA!
iframes
As per the documentation iframe is a construct which embeds a document into an HTML document so that embedded data is displayed inside a subwindow of the browser's window. This does not mean full inclusion and the two documents are independent, and both them are treated as complete documents, instead of treating one as part of the other.
iframe structure and details
Generally, an iframe element is in the form of:
<iframe src="URL" more attributes>
alternative content for browsers which do not
support iframe
</iframe>
Browsers which support iframe display the document referred to by the URL in a subwindow, typically with vertical and/or horizontal scroll bars. Such browsers ignore the content of the iframe element (i.e. everything between the start tag <iframe...> and the end tag </iframe>). Browsers which do not support iframe (or have such support disabled) does the opposite, i.e. process the content as if the <iframe...> and </iframe> tags were not there. Thus, the content matters, despite being ignored by some browsers.
This usecase
As the top-level <iframe> is having src="about:blank" it is highly unlikely there can be any child <iframe>. Hence, in absence of any child <iframe> your attempt to access any nested <iframe> will fail.

Ways to deal with #document under iframe
After discussion with Selenium team, this appears to be a bug with Apple.
I have filed a ticket with Apple here.

Safari and z-index positioning of header

I've coded this website: https://feetup.com/
All works fine, except that in safari the fixed header at the top hides under the content when scrolling. This happens only the homepage. I tried everything I could find online to fix it, without success.
Any suggestions are welcome!
I tried two ways and it works for me, you can try and pick the most suitable way for your site:
Disable overflow: hidden on .hero-index, the header still remains when it is outside of the hero element.
Bring the <header> outside and put it above the <div class="... feetup-hero hero-index">

Angular material tabs: wrong positioning in safari

I am using angular material tabs. I have 3 tabs and a headline above them. It works fine in firefox and chrome but not i safari, where the headline gets positioned on top of the tabs instead of above them. Does someone know why this happens and how I could solve it?
Firefox and chrome:
Safari:
Thanks!
I found the fault in our code. The text (headline) was in a column that was in a column, that had flex="100". Apparently Safari does not like columns in columns while Chrome and Firefox can handle it fine.
When changing one of the columns to a row the positioning worked in safari.

Safari break on attribute change

In chrome there is the ability to break on DOM modification or attribute change.
Is there any such functionality in Safari? Or something similar.
It appears that as of Safari v9.0.3, the ability to break on DOM modifications does not exist in the Safari Developer Tools.

Dojo - ScrollingTabControllerMenuButton freezes TabContainer in Firefox

I recently by accident found an issue I have with a web application I have made entirely with dojo.
I have a TabContainer and a toolbar with buttons and each button adds a Tab in the TabContainer.
Each of these new Tabs has as children, created programmatically, one or more of the following BorderContainers, ContePanes, Editors, FilteringSelects, Uploader and Buttons. I should point out that I do not have parseonLoad: true byt false and I call manually the parsers.parse when required. I should point out that in the ContentPanes in the content attribute I put also declarative filteringSelects and ValidationTexts and Uploader I hope that is not a problem.
Everything is working great in all browsers even in IE9 besides one thing in Firefox 12.
When I create many new tabs and the ScrollingTabController gets created (The left/right and dropdown arrows of the tabstrip) when I use the ScrollingTabControllerMenuButton (the down arrow at the far right) the TabContainer behaves wrongly and eventually freezes. Firebug shows weird errors when I select different tabs via this menu of the tab strip. Errors of the buttons that I have in these tabs, weird errors mentioning StackController or ScrollingTabController
[ e.g.
button is undefined
if(this._selectedTab === button.domNode){ StackController.js (line 222) ]
different each time...
This weird behavior only happens in Firefox. IE9 and Chrome do not have any issue at all!
Could anyone have an idea on what might be the problem? Is it a known bug? Is it a problem that I have many widgets in each Tab ?
It seems that it is indeed a browser specific bug and as I was told it should be fixed in the following releases
I first reported it to the dojo community and from there they reported it to the Firefox team
