react-virtualized IE11 performance - react-virtualized

I am new in React world. I am using react-virtualized Grid to show a lot of elements.
At once I am showing 5x8 elements on page + 5x8 overscanRowCount.
All works fine in Chrome and Firefox. In Edge I see little more whitespace while fast scrolling, but still it is ok.
But IE11 freezes on each scroll...its working OK as long as rendered elements are simple, like div with text inside it.
I am rendering empty divs while "isScrolling" and this have positive effect on IE performance, but when scroll ends and real elements are rendering Grid freezes again.
I am using simple Grid, something like Basic Example + windowScroller, and now my Grid is rendering components which returning JSX-object (no heavy logic inside).
CSS for styling Grid elements is external (Not react-side styles).
Elements have no flexbox inside.
I spent several days, but still have problems with IE11 performance.
Thanks in advance.

confusion about chrome extensions iframe dimensions and scrolling

So I really hate the way chrome extension development works so I decided to make a regular webapp and use an iframe in my extension. Everything works fine, except for the dimensions of the website and the scrolling on the extension/site.
When developing the site, I knew I was going to use an iframe so I used percentages when formatting the site, for the most part I used 100% on most divs and textboxes. Anyway, the problem I am facing is that the scroll is extremely wonky on the extension for instance this is a picture of my extension with 400px height:
400x400. Everything looks fine.
and here is my extension with 800px height:
400x800. Scroll appears.
Why is the scroll appearing if I am merely making the extension longer? It doesn't make sense to me.
Any idea why this is happening?
There is a limit on the size of the popup window. I don't know the exact dimensions though.
You cannot increase the size of the document past it, scroll will appear.

Full screen responsive horizontal website

I am trying to find the best method in order to create a horizontal website, full screen and if possible responsive, minimum width to be for tablets. The thing is that I need also the horizontal scrolling with the mousewheel, and I saw that fullPage.js doesn't support that or at least i couldn't manage to make it work on this plugin.
Anyway, I need an idea on building the template, with full screen sections displayed inline - I will be very grateful for any tip. Thanks.
Making horizontally responsive is bit tricky and requires a lot of effort.. There can be many many design approaches for making it responsive. It can't just be described with JSFiddle snippets..
However, I have something for you that will definitely get you started with "Horizontal Responsive Layout designing"..
This is must guide / tutorial for people who want to get started with Horizontal Responsive approach
http://tympanus.net/codrops/2012/04/02/responsive-horizontal-layout/
you could use one of the tools listed in the following links
http://www.cssdesignawards.com/articles/15-excellent-jquery-plugins-to-spice-up-your-sites/44/
http://jquery-plugins.net/scrollit-js-jquery-plugin-for-scrolling-pages
or you could also mix raw js/jquery with anchor links and add animations when clicked. in taht case you can scroll down using mouse wheel and also have fancy animations when a link is clicked
regarding responsiveness use css media queries

Nav menu that spans entire container width with constant horizontal padding

I've created a nav menu like in the screenshot below. It spans the entire width of the container and the left/right padding of each menu item is constant. This was easy to do by hardcoding the left/right padding in the CSS, but I want the paddings to be able to change as the site admin edits the menus.
Is there a way to do this with pure CSS (CSS3 is okay)?
This was easy enough to do with jQuery (I totaled up the width of the menu items and calculated the necessary padding). But I ran into some issues on some browsers due to our use of Google Web Fonts. On Chrome and Firefox 4 on Windows (not on Mac), the web font was not loaded at the time that my script ran, resulting in incorrect width measurements. I tried running the script in the jQuery's DOM ready event and in the Google Font API's active event. The active event worked in Chrome but in Firefox 4 it was often fired before the font had been applied.
Thanks in advance.
Here's a jsfiddle of a potential different solution.
Using that layout, and assuming the number of menu items is going to change, you call a recalculation method once a list item is added/removed. In this example provided, I've used YUI3 to do the DOM manipulation, but you could do that a number of ways. Note - I didn't test the javascript function, its "probably working pseudo code".
(You may need to make subtract a further 2% or so from the list item widths, if you're trying to deal with IE6/7)
Use jQuery's .load event as suggested by user thirtydot.

Layout problems in IE7

Our website www.phototulip.com displays fine in Safari and Firefox but not in IE7.
The main content seems to display on the bottom right hand side and the nav bar shifts slightly to the left. I've tried to adjust sidebar and content widths but with no success.
I was wondering if anyone could help.
You have a few places where your markup is invalid (one or more <div> tags aren't closed properly) that could, potentially affect the layout. FireFox tends to be a bit more forgiving about that sort of thing than IE.
Other things to check are that your content area & sidebar have explicit widths set and that they aren't too wide for the container they're in.

Silverlight 3 - Elements inside an element dont arrange sometimes

I have a grid/canvas that has an element (say an icon with an image and text overlayed) added to it dynamically via code.
Most of the time it renders correctly when added (content is aligned properly inside it),
but sometimes all the content sits in one corner.
I can remove/add/remove/add/remove/add and it will eventually do it
After a movement of the parent canvas, the element corrects itself as if the layout has been updated.
I have tried the following on Loaded and OnApplyTemplate for both the element and the element parent but it still seems to happen occasionally
InvalidateMeasure()
InvalidateArrange()
UpdateLayout()
Any ideas on why the content wouldn't arrange would be appreciated cause its driving me nuts
I'm not sure why it works for you sometimes but not others. But a grid has the inherent ability to dynamically resize itself and its contents. A canvas doesn't (you'd have to handle that manually in code).
If you change your canvas to a grid does it work? A grid has slightly more overhead than a canvas but it sounds to me like you need its functionality anyway.
