Divergence in image positioning with CSS on Firefox and Chrome

My struggle lies in achieving image alignment consistency across different web browsers:

https://i.sstatic.net/367Dz.jpg

I suspect it may be an issue with the borders?

Query: Should I resort to using a media query to tackle this issue effectively? Currently, I attempt to strike a balance, but even minor discrepancies become noticeable on Safari's mobile app. Alternatively, is there a more efficient method to confine the image within the 

.mnhouse, .mnsenate, .ushouse, .ussenate1, .ussenate2
divs?

Below is the pertinent section of my HTML: 

<div id="officials">                 
            <div class='mnhouse'>                       
                    <div class="membersublist">
                         <div class="memberLink"><span id="mnhouselink">Show District <i class="fa fa-external-link-square"></i></span></div>       
                        <div id='housemember' class='lcc_gis_member'></div>
                        <div id='housedistrict' class='lcc_gis_memberdistrict'></div>
                    </div>
                    <img id='housephoto' class='mnhouse_img' src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" width="0" height="0" alt=""/>

            </div>
            <div class='mnsenate'>                      
                    <div class="membersublist">
                        <div class="memberLink"><span id="mnsenlink">Show District <i class="fa fa-external-link-square"></i></span></div>
                        <div id='senatemember' class='lcc_gis_member'></div>
                        <div id='senatedistrict' class='lcc_gis_memberdistrict'></div>
                    </div>
                    <img id='senatephoto' class='mnsenate_img' src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=" width="0" height="0" alt=""/>                   
            </div>
</div>

Additionally, here is the relevant CSS snippet:

#officials img {
    height: 100%;
    min-height: 87px;
    max-width: 65%;
    position: relative;
    top: -56px;
    border:none;
}

.membersublist{
    margin-top:15px;
}
.mnhouse, .mnsenate, .ushouse, .ussenate1, .ussenate2 {
    height:87px;
    background-color: #e6e6e6;
    border-top: 1px solid #a7a5a6;
    border-right: 1px solid #a7a5a6;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #a7a5a6;
    border-left: 3px solid #a7a5a6;
}

Answer №1

Your problem stems from your reliance on negative relative positioning to align elements.

#government img {
    ...
    position: relative;
    top: -56px;
    ...
}

You're essentially basing the positioning on the text offset, which is not consistent across different browsers.

Instead, try adding positioning to the .politicalparty container and use absolute positioning for the images.

.politicalparty {
    position: relative;
}

#government img {
    height: 100%;
    min-height: 87px;
    max-width: 65%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    border:none;
}
