CSS - Cross Browser Css Positioning Problem
Similar TutorialsI'm new to CSS layouts, and being a relic who was always happy using tables, it's causing me some headaches! My latest conundrum involves trying to align a row of text to the bottom of an otherwise empty div. Here is my attempt, using colors for illustration only. (This is of course only a simplified version of my design, so while the "outer" DIV might look superfluous it has to be there. In my real design it is wider and contains three DIVs side by side - "box3" being just one of them.) Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#outer {
position: absolute;
float: left;
width: 228px;
height: 196px;
margin-top: 0px;
}
#box3 {
float:left;
width:228px;
height:196px;
background-color: green;
text-align:right;
display: table;
#position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
font-weight:bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="outer">
<div id="box3">
<div style=" #position: absolute; #top: 50%;display: table-cell; ">
<div style=" #position: relative; #top: -50%; background-color: yellow;">
<p style="bottom:0;right:0;position:absolute; background-color: red;">
some <i>text goes here</i>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
It looks fine in Firefox and Chrome, even if I don't quite understand why the text is elevated slightly from the bottom - that's okay. But in Internet Explorer, the text is nearer the top, and squashed to the right-hand side so that it's forced to wrap onto multiple lines. The forum won't let me post an image so see if you can decipher this URL: ht tp :// i49 .tiny pic. com /j8znti.png Can anyone help me adjust the code so that it displays in IE the same way as in Firefox and Chrome? I'd really like to understand why it's so different and how to prevent a similar problem in future. Many thanks! I'm having a few related problems... 1. I want the Flash picture slideshow centered vertically and horizontally in its div id="flashbox", when viewed in IE 6 & 7. 2. Also when viewed in IE 7 the graphic buttons in the div id="topright" are overlapping text in the div id="rightcolumn" 3. And finally, the the graphic buttons in the div id="topright" do not fill up their space at the bottom when viewed in IE 6 & 7. Any ideas on any of these issues is much appreciated. Thank you in advance. The link to the page in question is: http://www.oharenoise.org/new/index.htm Hi Everyone I have created a design in CSS and HTML but it appears differently in all of the browsers that I have tested it on can anyone take a look and tell me where I am goin wrong?

Any help would be really appreciated as I am really flumoxed here. Best Justin For my website at btccaction.co.uk I have chosen a CSS menu at the top as the ideal solution. However I'm having some problems positioning it so that the menu is in the same position in both Firefox and Internet explorer, and on various screen sizes. Does anyone have any tips for me here regarding positioning elements such as this so that they appear in the same position no matter what the operating system variables? For reference I'm using the code from he http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/ultimate.html Any help kindly appreciated. Andy Okay, my layout is css, and the problem is with my footer, and bottom links. In mozilla, they look the way i want them to, but for IE, they are positioned too low, and the bottom links are unreadable. Take a look - www.funny-guys.com The Code: #bottomlinks { margin:0px 0px 20px 0px; padding:0px; font-size:10px; color:#999999; text-align:center; div#footer { margin: 0px 0px 12px 0px; font-size:60%; text-align:center; padding:0; } Thanks Hi there folks, Im about to go insane with this one. My site is akamarketing.com and you will notice on the left there is various elements about me & my blog which display fine in IE but the text continues across (without confining to its parent div width specification) in opera and firefox. According to my stats 25% are firefox so I do of course need to fix this issue. The css and html for one broken section is Code: <div align=center style="text-align:CENTER; border:<?=$bordersize ?>px dashed #000000; margin:2px; width:185px; padding:2px; margin-top:2px; margin-bottom:0px; padding 7px; float:left; margin-left:7px; padding-bottom:0px;"> <table border=0 style="border:0px dashed black;"><tr><td style="text-align:left;"><img title="David Callan" style="margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px; padding-top: 0px; border: #000000 1px solid" alt="David Callan" src="http://www.akamarketing.com/images/davesmall.gif" align="left" vspace="0" hspace="0"/>Welcome. I'm <a href="http://www.akamarketing.com/blog/about-dave/" title="Read more about Dave on our blog"><font color="#22229C">Dave Callan</font></a>, a 24 year old SEOer & Web developer from Ireland. I've been doing design, development, seo, ppc, Internet marketing etc. since I was about 15. This site is my canvas!</td></tr></table> </div> Can anyone help me with this? I've tried a couple of things mostly around float properties but no joy. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm working on a little project here, trying to design a table-less page using XHTML and style sheets. The first version worked only in IE, Mozilla and Opera didn't display them the way I wanted to. So I rebuilt the stylesheet from scratch with cross-browser compatibility in mind and it sort of works in all three browsers, except for one little bit: http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~cs01kb/lg_sample/ Stylesheet: http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~cs01kb/lg_sample/css/main.css IE6 and Opera 7 correctly display the little bar at the bottom with all the links, but Mozilla Firefox 0.8 doesn't - it displays it under the two main content boxes. I'm just out of ideas on how to try and make it work, it should be so simple. Any help on how to get around it would be appreciated. P.S.: If you're using any other browser out there (especially on a Mac) just a quick note or a screenie of what the page looks like would be nice... thanks! http://www.testers.info/webdesign/viva/aktuelles/ Both boxes in the centre are placed inside a table cell and are positioned via a <div> Tag using "position:relative": Code: .parent {
left: auto;
top: auto;
position: relative;
}
basically everything works fine but when you're using Internet Explorer and resize the page vertically (horizontally works fine) the boxes behave like they're positioned static. What declarations do I need to write in my style sheet to make the boxes stay in their table cell? P.S.: I already searched the web for about 2 hours on this topic. I am having problem making this cross browser friendly Code:

Anyone have any recommendations on a good program to check cross browser stuff. I am tired of having to open every browser up to check my sites. Also, anyone know any good links for getting better at coding for cross browser CSS? Thanks! Hi; I don't mind writing straight CSS with a text editor; my big problem is cross-browser compatibility -- getting all those tweaks for everything you do to include ie 5, 6 & 7 (I guess we can drop 5 by now). To that end, I don't object to using an IDE or other tool to develop cross browser CSS. So my question is, what is/are the best resources available to handle the cross-browser issues; from broken box model, etc. ** I know about ie7-js from Dean Edwards, but I don't know how well that works. ** I know about some CSS IDE's like Aptana & Stylizer; but again I don't really know how well they handle these issues. ** And I would like to hope there are some sites out there with total references that tells you everything you need to know about cross browser CSS, though all I've found so far are piecemeal articles; how to handle this or that aspect. So in short, I don't expect one magic bullet (though that would be nice), but I'm looking for pointers to and evaluations of various resources that could be maybe used together to make this problem a little easier. Thanks i have a web site that i am redesigning and the redesign is @ http://cometosandiego.com/weekendvisit/index.php it shows up GREAT in firefox screwed in opera and COMPLETLY out of wack in IE 6 and 7 what to do???? thanks Hi there, I am reposting this question after removing the extraneous items from the site. Basically, I can get things to line up in either IE or FF, but not both, I have managed to solve this with past sites, but can't seem to figure this one out! Currently I have it set so it is correctly displayed in IE: http://www.kohlrbaby.com/vcc/portfolio/portfolio.htm Please, please help me to figure out how to do fixes for this issue, I have been searching online but can't seem to figure it out and am very frustrated! Thanks so much and here is my CSS: body { margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #999999; text-align: center; } #title{ margin-top:0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left:0px; position: relative; float: left; clear: left; } #rightBox { border-right: 2px solid #666666; width:625px; padding: 0px; border-top: 2px solid #666666; border-bottom: 2px solid #666666; border-left: 2px solid #666666; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left:0px; background: #ffffff; } .mainPic { margin-top: -475px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 30px; position:relative; float: left; clear: left; z-index: 100; } img.pic{ border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; } PS: i know I don't need to have all my margin positions shown (ie: may eventually become margin: 0px), however I have kept it like this until I figure out what my problems are. This template works perfectly in firefox (as I want it) but the background-images won't show and the margin/padding shows wrong. When I validate the CSS in firefox, it goes through, but when I do it in IE, it tells me that the id's are suppose to be used for block elements. I've done a search and read up on this over at w3schools but it was fruitless. I would like for it too look in IE the way it does in FF. I think it has something to do with the header or some part of the id's, because that feels a bit odd coding from my part. Please excuse the poorly formatted CSS, as the first part of it was made online where you had to use space to format it.

Best Regards, Moridin Okay, I'm about 6 steps into an effort to redo a section of my site... And while I swear I started out using a DIV/CSS based layout that worked in ALL browsers suddenly that is no longer the case. What I'm trying for is a navigation bar that stays fixed to the left... to the right of it are esentially 4 stacked areas: 1) the top header should stay glued to the top. 2) a middle content area that should flex reletive to the things around it 3) the second-from the bottom thing stays glued to the bottom, but has a bottom margin to place it above the footer. 4) the bottom footer should stay glued to the bottom. It works in all of my Mac browsers (Safari, Firefox, IE) as well as Firefox for windows. But IE 6.x for Windows insists on displaying all of the right-side elements way down the page... below the end of the left navigation. I simply can not force it to float/wrap to the right. Here is what I've got: http://digipix.jeffntom.com/TEMPLATE_UI-5.php Ignore the whiz-bang JavaScript stuff displaying the images, etc... and help me figure out what's up with my DIV/CSS?

What do you use for Cross Browser Testing? I just came across BrowserCam ($25 per year) at fundable.org. Do you recommend it? thank you. Dr. Mk. Im not a newbie to CSS but I am still a bit new to hand coding and div positioning. heres the link - http://members.cox.net/tekjock/test/ the body section I want it to be bottom 5px Left 5px right 5px I can get it to look good in firefox but IE it looks like crap. I have tried the above and it does not work. Any suggestions Thanks Hi I have created a site which looks good in internet explorer. But being a bit of a newb i never thot to check it in other browsers till now, and it just doesn't take my layout at all in opera or firefox is there anything i can do to get around this? cheers boyindie How does one make a header like this cross browser compatible? It works in most browsers but I noticed in IE8 it renders the header weird. Here is the CSS: Code: .header { position: relative; padding-bottom: 0; z-index: 20; }
#banner-top { float: right; line-height: 0; margin: 20px 20px 20px 0px; }
.logo { float: left; margin: 0 50px 0 20px; }
.logo.image { line-height: 0px; }
.logo .plain-text { font-size: 20px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: bold; }
.logo #tagline { font-size: 11px; font-style: italic; }
#search-bar { float:left;
margin-top:25px;
z-index:500;}
#search-bar #home_search {
display: block;
height: 40px;
margin: 0;
padding: 4px;
position: relative;
width: 595px;}
#search-bar #home_search_input { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border: 1px solid #C6C6C6;
color: #666666;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 12px;
height: 40px;
line-height: 14px;
padding: 0 10px;
width: 480px; }
#search-bar #home_search_submit {
border: 1px solid #dc5653;
background: #fe5d62; /*fallback for non-CSS3 browsers*/
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(#fe8781) to(#fe5d62)); /*old webkit*/
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*new webkit*/
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*gecko*/

background: linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*future CSS3 browsers*/
-pie-background: linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*PIE*/
repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border: 0 none !important;

Does anybody know how to tweek this code to render the same in all browsers? Freaking IE8! Ok, so I've having some problems getting a webpage I'm designing looking good (I'm better at the "behind the scenes" coding, not so much the visual part). Anyway, I'm having some problems in Firefox and even more in IE, so here goes. In Firefox I want it to extend all the way to the bottom of the page, I tried adding "min-height:100%" to the container's styles, but that doesn't work. Can I not use a percent for the min-height? If I directly declare the height to be 100%, then the body can expand outside of the container rather than the container expanding with it. I also want to make sure that the body is always completely filling the container. The page in question is he http://www.magicsoftinc.com/michigans_edition/ My styles are below and you can view the page source or use Firebug to see the elements I'm talking about Code: a:link {
color:black;
text-decoration:underline;
}
a:active {
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover {
color:black;
text-decoration:none;

color:black;
text-decoration:underline;
