Unusual addition symbols in the Bootstrap stylesheet

Something unusual is occurring in my bootstrap css code. I am noticing strange plus signs that seem out of place, and I cannot pinpoint a reason for their existence.

Here's an example (you might need to enlarge the view as they are quite small):

This represents the html (I have kept it mostly unaltered from how it appears in the view source to ensure nothing is mistakenly removed):

<div align="left" class="col-xs-5 col-sm-7 col-md-7 searchresultbg" style="border:0px solid red; margin-top:10px;">                         
<div class="hidden-xs" style="border:0px solid red;"><br />
                          <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=2&amp;toolid=10044&amp;campid=5337720480&amp;customid=999999999999999&amp;lgeo=1&amp;vectorid=229466&amp;item=121697860181" target="_blank">Strange Dragon  vol.3  Hana to Yume Comics / Manga Comic from Japan</a> <br />                      
</div>
<div class="hidden-sm hidden-md hidden-lg" style="border:0px solid red;"><br />                          
                          <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=2&amp;toolid=10044&amp;campid=5337720480&amp;customid=999999999999999&amp;lgeo=1&amp;vectorid=229466&amp;item=121697860181" target="_blank">Strange Dragon  vol.3  Hana to Yume Comi [...]</a> <br />

</div>

<div class="hidden-xs" style="border:0px solid red;"><br /></div>

<div style="border:0px solid blue;">

                          </div>                              

                          <!-- site logo -->
<div class="hidden-xs"><br /></div><img src="/app/javax.faces.resource/ebaylogo.png.xhtml?ln=images" class="img-responsive maxwidth70 bottom-buffer10" />                           
</div>

This issue is consistent across all browsers. Any thoughts on why this may be happening?

EDIT: I have applied a gray background image to the entire row. Here is the css:

.searchresultbg {
    background-image:url('../resources/images/searchresultbg.jpg');
    border-radius: 8px;
}

I have confirmed that the image is clean.

Answer №1

It appears that the issue is arising from the use of border-radius causing four rounded corners to come together, rather than a phantom "+" symbol.

Have you tried removing the border-radius property to see if it resolves the issue?

.searchresultbg {
  background-image: url('../resources/images/searchresultbg.jpg');
}

In addition, it is indeed possible to incorporate external CSS in JSFiddle. You can access the External Resources option in the menu or utilize @import in your CSS code, like this:

@import url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css');

Answer №2

To fix the issue, I decided to replace the picture with a background color. Here's the css code that did the trick:

.searchresultbg {
    /*background-image:url('../resources/images/searchresultbg.jpg');*/
    border-radius: 8px;
}
.container-fluid .searchresultbg{background:#f2f2f2!important;}

After making this change, the annoying plus signs disappeared and everything looks great now.
