CSS - Browser Compatibility/clearing Floats Help!
Hello,
I'm new to this, hopefully someone can help me out. I recently created a few pages on wordpress for my business. Once I finished (using firefox) I checked to see if my site was compatible with other browser and unfortunately there were several issues. Text, pictures and videos are not aligned properly in Safari, Chrome and IE. Does anyone know what could possibly cause this and how to fix it?? I am also looking for someone to help me in the future for website design, recommendations appreciated. signature sound .com under "training" and "workshops" If there is anymore information needed to help me I will provide. extra info: I cleared floats within HTML and not within CSS. Here is some CSS for the training page: #song-logo { margin:35px 0px 0px 44px; } #discover-songlist1 { margin:0px 40px 0 50px; float:left; } #discover-info { float:left; width:500px; margin:-36px 0px 0px 130px; } #song-pictures { margin:-65px 48px 0px 0px; } #more-info { margin: -30px 0px 0px 45px } #record-logo { margin:55px 0px 0px 44px; } #discover-recordlist2 { margin:0 143px 0 50px; float:left; } #discover-every { width:500px; float:left; margin:-36px 0px 0px 62px; } #record-pictures { margin:-65px 55px 0px 0px; } #more-info2 { margin: -30px 0px 0px 45px } #discover-list3 { width:460px; float:left; margin:50px 0 0 50px; } Similar TutorialsI have floating items inside of floating items. The problem is I cannot clear my floating items in the middle column because that ruins the other columns. How can I clear floats in the middle column? Do you have any better ideas to make my layout work? I have attached in image of how the layout should work. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

I'm working on a site that has a lot of floated elements, and I'm running into a situation I've run into before with Firefox, where Firefox insists on clearing the floated elements. I figure it's about time to learn the fix, if there is an easy one. Here's a very simple test case: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
.sidebar {float: right; width: 100px; height: 500px; background: green}
.box {background: orange; float: left}
.box_right {float: right; background: blue}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="sidebar"></div>
<div class="box">
<div class="box_right">test</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So you've got a tall right side floated element. Then in the content area you've got a float: left that contains a float: right. I could fix it by removing the float: left, but then the box won't expand with it's floats. I could fix it by removing float: left and switching to overflow: auto. That would make it expand with it's floats, but I have some absolute positioned layer popups within that box that get cut off if I use overflow: auto. So that's a no go. I could fix it by setting a width on the float: left, but this is a liquid width site and I want the float: left box to expand the full width (but not touch the sidebar). Is there a fix for Firefox that would work with the above requirements? Is there a way to only clear floats within an element without affecting any floats defined about and outside the element? example: <div style="float:left;">A</div> <div style="float:right;"> <div style="float:left;">C</div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div> I would want the clear to only clear C and not A I am working on a new page and have got things working in firefox, but the footer and a couple of other things are not working very well in IE7, can anyone point me in the right direction on where I need to look for the problem, thanks: the page is at: tinybrandsrock [dot] com thank you. Hi Could someone explain to me why my floats are not clearing at http://www.sussexfind.co.uk/test/ I added a div class at the end of the header div called <div class="clr"> but this does not seem to clear the div in FF. I tried Pauls technique of adding overflow:auto; to the header div but when viewed in IE5 the grey bar at the top does not butt up with the right hand side of the page, http://www.sussexfind.co.uk/test/index-IE5.htm I would prefer to use this technique but need assistance in fixing the IE5 problem.! Thanks for any help! I know this is probably something very simple I'm overlooking, but I can't seem to get this page to display corrrectly in IE. The portion I'm talking about is the footer div: although the CSS clears both, in Firefox I see the footer correctly but in IE there is some encroachment of the footer background color on the right side of the screen. URL is: http://www.readaloudproject.org/about/ Please disregard all of the other aspects of the page... this is very much still under construction and a lot more styling needs to be done. But this footer is driving me crazy because I copied working code from other sites that is now no longer working. Help! Thanks! So... I've got a page I'm working on where I can't seem to get to floats to clear without compromising the layout of the divs that are floating. http://www1.romenews-tribune.com/multimedia2/ http://www1.romenews-tribune.com/multimedia2/style.css If I try the clear:after class fix, it doesn't work. If I try the overflow: hidden fix, it looks fine until the page is resized - and the overflowing content is hidden. What I want is for the right and left div is to stretch to the bottom of the page regardless of the page height, and clear to the div they are floating in. Any suggestions? Let me know if I need to provide better examples or more info, as I'm stumped on this one and feel like I've been doing this for far too long. http://warcraftpress.com/index.php (If it displays a whitepage, revisit the link again) Working on browser compatibility, and well, IE is a stubborn one, yes? For some reason, it places post areas below the right menu, as well as some spacing issues. I've checked in FireFox 3 (which I designed in), Safari, and Opera, but only IE does this issue. (IE7, I mean. I no longer care to support IE6) One other thing I see is the menu items's arrow graphic cuts off in other browsers, I'd say it has to do with the height and other specifications in the CSS, but I do make a mess to try and make something work :P The big arrow graphic (the normal) is at a height of 22, while the small (sub menu) one is 18. Both are in pixel measurements. Thanks a lot in advance for the help! You can find the stylesheet he http://warcraftpress.com/wp-content/themes/default/style.css I've decided to make a thread to ask for help on my journey of recoding my design to CSS/XHTML tableless. I understand you all do this out of the goodness of your hearts, so I hope you don't take this as a "I demand assistance" thing. (original layout -> Here ) http://www.gaminghybrid.com/wii-style.html The current issue is the menu items. In FireFox 2, it looks perfect. The right proportions and everything. However, in IE7, between the menu header and the first menu item, there is some strange spacing. What could be causing this? For now, all my CSS is on the page, where I'll have it be in a CSS file once I've completed. Thanks in advance It's about time I moved away from the incorrect table layouts and help contribute to a better web. Hi, I haven't worked with CSS since before the whole Firefox craze and I'm having some compatibility issues when it comes to getting my website to work properly in both IE, Firefox and Safari. I was able to achieve the perfect layout in IE but Firefox and Safari just throw it all out of whack. Are there way to ensure the same output (like linking to W3C or something) or perhaps I'm just doing something wrong. I've posted my code and you can see the difference I'm talking about in both browsers. Code:

Hi, I'm having a browser compatibility issue that I'm hoping someone can help me with. This image rollover code shows up fine in IE 7, but not in Firefox. Any simple solutions? Is this because I'm using a table? I'd much appreciate any help!

Ive been searching for about 2 days now for a CSS browser compatibility chart that includes Ffirefox and IE. Every time I think ive found a good one it turns out to be a dead link or theres no chart there. I keep finding links to the "Full CSS Property Compatibility Chart", supposed to be located he http://corecss.com/properties/full-chart.php but it just redirects you to a main page with no chart. Do any of you know any good charts that tell you what CSS tags work for firefox and IE? Well actually all I need is one that features firefox then I can compare it to one with internet explorer. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. Hello all. I was hoping someone could answer what is hopefully a simple problem and provide and equally simple solution but anything will be appreciated! The problem: I have created a border in a stylesheet (already tested and no issues there) code: table.outset { border-width: 8px; border-style: outset; border-color: #c94066 #c94066 #A9A9A9 #A9A9A9; } called in the body of the code by: <table class="outset" ......> Now, this renders perfectly in IE (at least 7) but fails in Firefox and Safari. It appears that in FF and Safari these browsers completely disregard the chosen colors and outset style (FF and Safari give a border with four solid and separate colors). IE does a great job but I would like to make this compatible with the rest. Is this even possible (i.e. coding issue)? Or, does anyone have any other suggestions as to creating a 3D effect around a table in Dreamweaver CS3? I have searched for and used various codes offered on the web and nothing has worked as well as this simple outset property. Any suggestions?! Hello, newbie he I'm helping a friend redesign his website, and I'm having a few problems regarding the look across different browsers. I'm kinda new to CSS, so any help would be awesome! http://www.manplusrocks.com/MAVIN/template.html http://www.manplusrocks.com/MAVIN/css/mavin.css The site looks just fine on IE 6.0 (except for a little gap that the Javascript leaves on the top image), and other browsers seem to be ignoring certain DIV tags. I don't know if they are ID'd incorrectly or if it's another issue... Any comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks! I am creating a website for a game (unnamed so far) the template is located at syckgamingleague(dot)com in Firefox this site looks perfect works extremely well. In Opera the navigation doesn't seem to be working like I want it. In IE it seems as if everything that should be vertically aligned to the middle doesn't appear to do that. I am just looking for a fix for the Opera navigation error currently but if you know the cause of the IE problems and would like to help that would be great. The website is located at the URI: syckgamingleague(dot)com I will include images for the display of each of the browsers mentioned above. Firefox at the above link in root folder Firefox_Polkamon.jpg Opera at the above link in root folder Opera_Polkamon.jpg IE at the above link in root folder InternetExplorer_Polkamon.jpg Sorry for no links but this forum would not allow it. Name for game isn't Polkamon it is more of a codename than anything currently game isn't named. Hi, I recently started migrating from a table layout to a css based one. I've probably made the classic mistake of using IE to develop only to find it looks awful in other browsers e.g. firefox. Being relativity new to CSS I've looked at various websites and if I understand the issue correctly some browsers like firefox adhere strictly to the CSS standard whereas IE doesn't. My question is would I be better developing separate CSS files for each browser type and use a script to determine which one? If anyone can point me at a resource that points out the differences between IE CSS standards and other browsers I'll be internally grateful. Regards Paul Is there any way to center a <div> block itself, not the text in it? Using this code:
Code: #block{
padding:2px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width: 480px;
}
(which I am currently using) centers it in Firefox, but not IE. Also the code which adds a rollover effect to the links in the menu works in Firefox but not IE. Code: #menu li:hover{
background-color:#369;
}
The site's current URL is here, because my webhost's disk is full, and they are having problems with PHP scripts not working. quirks mode is what i'm using, but now im thinking that in order to support all browsers i need to jump to strict. now im really in trouble. is strict right for me? xhtml or html? my site works perfectly in firefox because that is what i have been testing it in, but it works horribly in IE. so, will switching to strict give me the best compatibility? So I have a body div which has a left and right div(columns). I need to add 2 more divs inside the left div. But, these 2 divs have to unordered lists in them. I know my CSS is pretty average if not worse. My layout looks fine except for when I add 2 divs.. I have the float:left with %50 widths.. Screen shot of how my layout looks. img209.imageshack.us/img209/2913/idear.gif I did not add any clear tags to my css.. which I think might be what's causing the issue. Side note: In IE compatibility view the top of the page has a gap and so does the right of the page.. the logo and footer are both 100% width and the top div has a -negative margin to close the gap, it looks fine without compatibility view, and fine in firefox, and chrome. XHTML passed validation and so did CSS. This is before even messing with the columns. I didn't do anything with the unordered lists. Maybe i should ask how to correctly make my layout first.. Because what I've been doing is just adding new divs where I see fit, and then going back to edit the CSS till it works. Thanks for helping me out! BTW: what book would you recommend me getting.. I understand basics of CSS and I think I'm good with XHTML, I just need to get a better definition of CSS than w3schools has to offer. Thanks again. Hello Guys, I am trying to get the the css to work but having a hard time with it and need some help.. Here is the content lined up in fire fox. http://content.screencast.com/users/dank2009/folders/Jing/media/4198ca5c-6c75-4196-a2e7-ba1c423caca7/2011-08-22_1550.png Ad this is what it looks like in IE (See my issue) http://content.screencast.com/users/dank2009/folders/Jing/media/c9f0dcd6-19c9-48f6-83f8-9c55d7417fcc/2011-08-22_1551.png Here is the code Code: echo '<div class="listing"><img src="'.$listing_photo.'"><span class="listlink"><a href="index.php?content=subcats&id='. $listing_id.'">'.$listing_title2.'</a></span><br><span class="listbody">'.$listing_body2.'<span class="readmore"><a href="index.php?content=subcats&id='. $listing_id.'"> Read more</a></span>>>></div>'; Here is the CSS Code: .listing {
