CSS - Flash Objects Causing Blank Space To Right Of Page
Hi, I'm new here and hope someone can help! I wasn't sure whether to post this in the CSS or Flash forum; it's a problem caused by Flash which I suspect needs some clever CSS to resolve.
My new website is carolineofbrunswick (dot) co (dot) uk. As you can see, there's a ton of blank space off to the right of the pages, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. It's caused by the Flash objects in the right-hand column. Changing the width attributes on those Flash objects just causes them to not appear at all, though the blank space still exists. Can anyone help? Cliff Similar TutorialsI'm very new to doing my own custom CSS, so please bear with me. I have a feeling I am missing something obvious... A space of about 22px height is appearing below my nav bar, which itself is 22px high, but is otherwise working fine. I can't figure out what code is causing the space to appear where I don't want it (just under the #page-nav and just above the #page-content). I'm not sure how to link to my test site, as the forum does not allow new members to link to urls... I can put it in a code tag, but I don't want to 'cheat' the rules... Let me know if that's okay... (the html and css is too long to post here) (P.S. Many, many, MANY thanks to anyone who can help me figure out this puzzle!) So i just wrapped up some initial styling for a personal website i'm working on, http://www.sociospatial.com/ Looks fine in firefox. Has some minor issues in chrome/webkit, which I'll iron out later. Haven't dared to load it up in IE yet. In Opera, though, I'm having a problem that I don't know where to start. So without having to paste alot of code, I have a wrapper div and a footer div, just so that I can have the footer hug either the bottom of the viewport or the bottom of the page, whichever is lower. I also wanted some background elements to the page, but I wanted them to hug the bottom as well (load up the page in firefox and resize to viewport to see), so I ended up with something like this: Code: <div id="footer"> <span id="left-bg"></span> <span id="right-bg"></span> </div> and the styling for these is something like (I can post the actual/more if need be) Code: div#footer { position: relative; height: 25px; width: 100%; } span#left-bg { position: absolute; left: 0; bottom: 0; width: 400px; height: 600px; background: transparent url(some-url.png) no-repeat 0 0; z-index: -1; } span#left-bg { position: absolute; right: 0; bottom: 0; width: 400px; height: 600px; background: transparent url(some-url.png) no-repeat -400px 0; z-index: -1; } in firefox/webkit at least, these function as i want, so I have 2 spans that spill up through the top of the containing footer div, but still hides behind normal content. If my wrapper content is minimal, it appropriately hugs the bottom of the viewport and i don't have any vertical scrollbar. If I have a lot of content in the wrapper, I have a vertical scrollbar, but the footer and the spillout background elements are all waiting for me at the bottom of the page. in opera (9), the two spans hug the bottom of the (initial) viewport as I would hope, but I *do* have a vertical scrollbar (even when the content in the wrapper does not necessitate it), and scrolling down reveals that I have a *huge* amount of space that's just empty body background below the footer. This empty space seems vaguely correlated with the "height" values of the spans (the lower the height value, the smaller the empty black background space under the footer), and the vertical scrollbar goes away completely under one of these conditions: a) i add "overflow:hidden" to the div#footer styling (but of course this stops the span elements from spilling through the top) b) using the W3-dev opera tools, if I disable both spans c) after I disable both spans, I enable only one or the other (if I just disable one after both have been enabled, the vertical scrollbar stays, so I have to disable both first). i'm not quite sure what exactly is going on here, nor really what issue I'm trying to track down (I don't know what to enter for a google search, for example) - I'm kind of new at this. Anyone have any clues to contribute? I'll add more information if needed. Here is the site: http://wildlife. kinetic-designs. n et/ I was modifying a wordpress theme and somewhere in there i must have changed something, but now I have an unexplainable horizontal scroll bar as well as blank space off to the right of the screen. Can someone help me explain this phenomenon ?? The website I created has a large blank space at the bottom. I want 30px between the bottom and the layout. At the top, I could create the space I want. Margin-bottom: 30px doesn't do the trick. I tried so many things but I just can't get it fixed. I think something is set too height or something? If someone could figure it out, I would be forever grateful! You can check out the site and css he I can't post the url because I'm a new user Can a mod post my url? EDIT: I have set the url as my homepage in my profile! Just click my username to check out the site. i am using display:none to hide two divs, but the space where they are located still remains... but only in firefox... here is a link... it happens when you click on one of the tabs at the bottom of the box... 15 Games thanks for any help. I am working on a web page, and am all but done, but I am having one final problem with it. The css drop down menu works fine except for one issue... when you scroll down on one of the pages, and then go to the css menu bar a gap appears between the menu bar and the sub menu options that drop down. How can I get this menu to always drop down DIRECTLY below the main menu bar without the gap? ___________ Here is the SpryMenuBarHorizontal css _____________ @charset "UTF-8"; /* SpryMenuBarHorizontal css - Revision: Spry Preview Release 1.4 */ /* Copyright (c) 2006.

I'd appreciate any help I could get. _______________ my css is sloppy , but at this point with the deadline approaching, I really just need to get this to work properly, and I have a feeling its as simple as a few lines of code changed.... I'm *very* new to CSS and to these forums, I'm glad I found them. I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem I'm having. I added a table to this page and there are gaps under each word in each cell of the table. I added the same table to it's own page and the table shows up the way I want it but it won't on the page where CSS is used. It seems as if something in the CSS code is causing the gap under the words. Would anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? I'm using IE 6 and haven't used any other browser yet to view the pages. Here is my css file http://debsdesignandhosting.com/layout.css in case it's needed. Thanks for any help I thought I should also say, it's not my intention to spam the forum with the info seen in the table. This is a new site not even live yet. This gap problem has me stumped Deb If you look at http://jordanmeeter.com/new/about.php and http://jordanmeeter.com/new/about/cd-collection.php you will see that the latter pages moves to the left and I believe stretches the pages. I removed the list, and sure enough the problem went away. But what is causing this? It's just a simple list... BTW, the CSS is http://jordanmeeter.com/new/includes/x.css. Hi, I have a link in my page. When the user hovers over the link, the page is flickering. This is the code I have used Code: a { color: #42C0FB; background: inherit; font: normal 11px auto "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.8em; } a:hover { color: #6C757A; background: inherit; font: normal 11px auto "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } <a href="WelcomePage.asp?UserName=User_nm" id="Welcome" title="Home Page" target="_blank">Welcome to my Page</a> I am checking in IE 6 and IE 7. How to avoid the flickering, when user hovers over the link. Thank you Hello, In CSS is there a way to tell an object to extend the full height and width of its parameters without specifying height and using absolute positioning? Thanks, Andy cookcommons . com / index_working . html At this location, I have a page that I validated the code, but most of it is hidden in both IE 6 and IE7? Seems to work fine in FF? Thanks for the help in advance. I have a page that is laid out with in a table. It has a header and a footer area. Ive defined a stylesheet for printing, and my content shows up correctly when printing (or print preview) with the header and footer items left out. What is not right though, is the 1st page is blank when i do a print preview. Help ? to add: This is an asp.net web page, that has a form with several images that render inside a div element and this form is within the main table. I am building a new page and I'm having problem having this space on top of it. here's the situation. All Divs are inside a Parent Div called Container. This div has the following qualities: body { margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0; background-image: url(images/bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-attachment: fixed; background-color:#003366; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #container { position:relative; width:1000px; height: 1250px; top: 0; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0; border: 1px black solid; z-index: 3; } If I remove the container Div and just have the child Divs then the space on top disappears and the page goes to the top, however it gets aligned to the left. As you can imagine what I want is the page both centered and on top, so I'm pretty much working with the files that have the container, so that's why I'm trying to fix either I'm assuming there is an issue with the CSS of the menu, because it's the only rare addition apart from the normal CSS. If I do in the main parent container position:absolute instead of relative. it then goes to the top, but it's not centered. I've been working on this all day long but can't figure out a solution, if you can please help me out. For some reason, I cannot for the life of me figure out why Firefox is adding space at the top of my page. I have a container div that contains my header, body, and footer. I have done this: Code: #container{ width: 732px; margin: 0px auto; } Too me that should fix the issue. I even tried applying that code to the body{ ... } but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else gone through this before. There is no space in IE6 or IE7. Thanks, teamhonda81 Please have a look at http://www.xxxx.co.uk/cssproblem/ Can anyone tell me why IE renders this page with a small space between the header and subheader divs? And how to fix.

Thanks for taking the time to read my question I am starting to make a page, and for some reason I have a white space between two sections of my page. I don't know why. I don't have a domain for this page yet, so I've put it under my band domain. The space is between the Menu and the info portions of the page.
