CSS - Div (box) Inside A Div (box). No Margin-top?

Hi all

Take a look at this in Firefox and then in IE7:

http://www.josh.ch/files/temp/ie7_margin_bug/formulare.html

The text input and the textarea fields have a strange margin on the left in IE7 that shouldn't be there. It seems to be "inherited" by the outher paragraph, just change the value in css/general.css on line 29 to see it happen. FF and IE6 behave well, IE7 doesn't.

Interestingly, the select field (and all the other fields like radio buttons and checkboxes) don't have this problem.

I did a search and found this link:

http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatIndent.html

Seems to be something like that, but the display:inline fix didn't help. the only way I see is a minus margin for the text input and textarea fields for IE7 only, but maybe there's a cleaner way?

Thanks a lot for help :-)

Hi there,

I have recently stumbled about a problem I had with another website I made as well, but since it was at the very bottom back then I kinda ignored it. My new website has this right in the header though, and so I decided to ask for help. Works perfectly in Gecko based browsers, though.

I have the problem that I have to Div's right after each other which both have a top and bottom margin of zero, but there is a visible gap between them, only in IE though (header and content as well as content and footer) and in Opera 7.54 at the very bottom. The colors of the background PNG are also broken in IE, never mind that, will exchange that with a JPG.

Website in question is http://cyxxon.com, WordPress with my own template. Had the same problem with a website completely handcoded by me.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Im creating a list that shows a photo and personal data of people.

It's he

http://tiregarfio.byethost17.com/web/frontend_dev.php/miembros

username: fer
password: m

When i load it with IE6 i can see the list, but between the photos there are little space. I FF there isn't any space.

Is that the bug of the "doubled margin" of IE6?

Javi

I must be really dumb or blind here... For some reason i cant seem to get div.show_listing to actually move up. Sorry for my ignorance here in CSS, but i learn as i go.

css Code:
Original - css Code .container { display: block; margin-top: -32px; margin-left: 3px; width: 780px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #cccccc; } /* Start Mac IE5 filter \*/ div.left_menu, div.show_listing { padding-bottom: 32767px !important; margin-bottom: -32767px !important; } /* End Mac IE5 Filter */ div.left_menu { margin-top: -32px; width: 150px; border-left: 1px solid #cccccc; height: 250px; background: #fbfbfb; border: 1px solid #cccccc; } div.show_listing { margin-top: -32px; margin-left: 155px; width: 620px; border: 1px solid #cccccc; }

  

  


 .container {     


    display: block;


    margin-top:   -32px;


    margin-left:  3px;


    width:        780px;


    overflow:     hidden;


    border:       1px solid #cccccc;


 }


  


 /* Start Mac IE5 filter \*/


 div.left_menu, div.show_listing {


    padding-bottom: 32767px !important;


    margin-bottom: -32767px !important;


 }


 /* End Mac IE5 Filter */


  


 div.left_menu {


   margin-top:   -32px;


   width:        150px;


   border-left:  1px solid #cccccc;


   height:       250px;


   background:   #fbfbfb;


   border:       1px solid #cccccc;


 }


  


 div.show_listing {


   margin-top:   -32px;


   margin-left:  155px;


   width:          620px;


   border:  1px solid #cccccc;


 } 

html Code:
Original - html Code <div class="container"> <div class="left_menu"> <div style="float: left;"> {link_one} </div> </div> <!-- This part is actually on a separate script.. it gets parsed via php --> <div class="show_listing"> <div style="float: left;"> -listing_text- fsdfsadf<br> </div> </div> </div>

  
<div class="container">
       <div class="left_menu">

       </div>
      </div>

Again sorry for my ignorance. ( just incase its viewable here )

i am having a serious issue with ie 7 i really need help.

i am using a center layout using 900px the center layout looks and works fine

in all browsers except for ie7 i have used a border for the wrapper tag.
what i have noticed only in the case of ie7 is the left border for the wrapper

tag starts a few pixels 2px or 3px before compared to all other browsers and

due to this in ie7 the right border ends a few pixels when compared to all

other browsers. so if i can fix the left border the right border for the

wrapper tag will adjust automatically.

i am using a valid xhtml transitional document. following is my code.

-------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Background image</title>

<style type="text/css">

body {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 10px;
}

#wrapper {
width: 900px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid #ffff00;
}

p{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<div id="wrapper">
<p>Content </p>
</div></body></html>

-------------------------------
can someone please tell me what the issue is and what the code should be. i

would highly appreciate any help as this is an issue in ie7 and not in other

browsers.

thanks.

Hi All,

I am having a hard time aligning an element on my site. The problem is I am floating an element to the left and it wont cross all the way to the right, its like the margin to the right doesnt exist and the text goes to the next line when there is room (so it seems) to the right.

Go to j4media.com to see what I mean...look in the sidebar and the problem is in the first bullet under the 'recent message board posts'.

Here's the CSS:

Code:

   
.sidecnt { /* individual container in sidebar */   background: #040c0f url(jimg/sb_bg1.jpg) repeat-x;   width: 245px;   height: auto;   border: 1px solid #000000;   border-bottom: 6px solid #172e34;   padding: 2px 2px 7px 2px;   }.sidecnt h2 { /* container title image */   float: left;      }    .sidecnt h3 { /* container title */   float: right;   color:#050608;   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;   font-weight:bold;   font-size: 10px;   }.sidecnt h4 { /* tag text */	float:left;	margin: 25px -12px 2px 1px; /* top, right, bottom, left */	padding-bottom: 5px;	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;	}   .sidecnt1 { /* individual container in sidebar - other than tag box */   background: #FFFFFF url(jimg/sb_bg1.jpg) repeat-x;   width: 245px;   height: auto;   border: 1px solid #000000;   border-bottom: 6px solid #172e34;   padding: 2px 2px 7px 2px;   }.sidecnt1 h2 { /* container title image */   float: left;      }    .sidecnt1 h3 { /* container title */   float: right;   color:#050608;   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;   font-weight:bold;   font-size: 10px;   }.sidecnt1 h4 { /* text elements */	float:left;	margin: 25px -12px 2px 1px; /* top, right, bottom, left */	padding-bottom: 5px;	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;	}   .sidecnt1 ul {    float:left;	margin-top: 25px; /*top, right, bottom, left*/	padding-bottom: 1px;	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;	}

and here's the HTML:

Code:

<div class="sidebar">		<div class="sidecnt">			<h2><img src="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"></h2>			<h3>j4media tags</h3>			   <h4>			<?php UTW_ShowWeightedTagSetAlphabetical("coloredsizedtagcloud","",0) ?>			   </h4>			  </div>		<br>		<div class="sidecnt1">		  <h2><img src="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"></h2>		  <h3>Subscribe</h3>			<div class="subscriberss">				<form name="subsform">					<a href="#"><img src="<? echo get_settings('home')."/wp-content/themes/i-feel-dirty/img/";?>feedicon.gif" alt="RSS" /></a> <a href="<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>" class="rsstext">RSS</a>				<select name="aggs">				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">Bloglines</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">Feedness</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">My Yahoo!</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=rss&ut=<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">My MSN</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">NetVibes</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">Newsgator</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">Rezzibo</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">Rojo</option>				<option value="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/faves?add=<? echo get_bloginfo('rss_url');?>">Technorati</option>				</select>						<a href="#" class="btnnofloat" onclick="window.location.href = document.subsform.aggs.options[document.subsform.aggs.selectedIndex].value;"><img src="<? echo get_settings('home')."/wp-content/themes/i-feel-dirty/img/";?>okbutton.gif" title="ok btn" alt="ok" /></a>									</form>			</div>  </div>		<div class="sidecnt1">			<h3>Recent Message Board Posts</h3>			<ul>			<?php if (function_exists('wpphpbb_topics')):?>            <? wpphpbb_topics();?>            <?php endif;?>			</ul>		</div>		<div class="sidecnt1">			<h3>Categories</h3>				<ul>				<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>				</ul>		</div>		<div class="sidecnt1">					<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() ) { ?>								<?php                      if(get_links(-1,'', '','', false, 'name',false,false,-1, false, false)){                 ?>						<h3>Blogroll</h3>						<ul><? get_links(-1,'<li>', '</li>','', false, 'name',false,false,-1, false, true); ?></ul>					<? } ?>		</div>		<div class="sidecnt1">					<h3>Site Tools</h3>			<ul>				<?php wp_register(); ?>				<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>				<li><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" title="This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional">Valid <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr></a></li>				<li><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/xfn/"><abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr></a></li>				<li><a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>				<?php wp_meta(); ?>			</ul>			<?php } ?>		</div>		</div>	<div class="clearfix"></div>	<br></div>

Hello,

I am working on my website w w w . pujckyvcr . c z and there is problem with IE. Firefox is ok, in top menu, there is text with same margin from top and bottom. When you look on it in IE, text is 1px upper and text is more to up. Then hover isn't symmetrical from top and bottom in menu. Do you know how to fix thix IE bug?

Thanks you,
Jiri

Please look at www.tmhdesign3.com

The h1 on teh bottom -

<h1 id="header-bottom">Santa Rosa Luxury Estates, Vineyards, Ranches, and Wineries Realtor</h1>

i can put a margin-top of 20px on it in FF !!!

Hi all,

I'm not new to CSS in general but quite a novice when it comes to CSS positioning (absolute,relative etc.)

I have built one simple web page as follows:
http://www.jaysonsgroup.com/ztest/znuvo/z-index.html

HTML:
Code:

<div id='contents'>

	<div id='main'>
		<a href='mailto:info@nuvohome.com'>info@nuvohome.com</a><br/><br/><br/><br/>
		... *remainder text as you see on the web page**..
		
	</div>
	<div id='footer'>We are working on that 100% green solution!</div>
	
</div>

The CSS as follows:
Code:

	/* CSS global reset for all browsers */ 
	* {
		padding: 0;
		margin: 0;
	}


	/******* main *******/			
			
html, body, #contents {
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
}
/*
 * The "height" above is a hack for IE5+/Win.  Below we adjust
 * it using the child selector to hide from IE5+/Win
 */

html>body, html>body #contents {
	height: auto;
}


			
	body, p, td {
		font-family: Century Gothic, Verdana, Arial; 
		font-size:10pt ; 
		font-weight:normal; 
		line-height: 17px;
		color: #007700;
	}

	body {
		margin: 0;
 		background: url(../images/body/bg.jpg) repeat-y;

	}
	

	a, a:visited {
		color: #007700;
		font-size: 11pt;
	}
	
	
	
		
	#contents {
		margin: 0 auto;
		width: 500px;
	}
	
	#main {
		text-align: center;
		padding-top: 70px;
		margin-top: 15%;
		background: url(../images/goinggreen.jpg) no-repeat top center;
	}

	
	#footer {
		position: absolute;
		bottom: 0;
		text-align: center;
		width: 300px;
		background: url(../images/bioh-logo.gif) no-repeat top right;
		padding-top: 68px;
		padding-right: 160px;
		padding-bottom: 68px;
	}

This page is done, except in Firefox the text is quite high (because I've set the margin-top: 15%; in the #main div) but in IE6, the main text seems to have a MUCH bigger top margin. Please preview on Firefox and IE to compare - you will notice a considerable margin difference.

Just wondering why this is happening?

There is an alternate version which I experimented with, using more on CSS positioning, but it still doesn't solve my problem..(and I sort of prefer the other version anyway)...

http://www.jaysonsgroup.com/ztest/z...dex-strict.html


Any advice on an IE6 hack or something to improve my code?

TIA!

I have a PayPal form tag in my html

However, the form apparently creates a margin above and below the image. How do I get rid of this a(s it doesn't happen if i just use a <img> tag)?

As always, thank you for your valuable time.

Cheers!

In FF3 this code behaves correctly but not in IE6. The main content disappears. Any ideas why and how to fix it?

Hey everyone.

Well I am making a forum. And I need to use a margin-right for the main content(because I know of no other way to do it). They problem is, FireFox doesnt respond to the margin-right. Here is my (troubled) CSS.
css Code:
Original - css Code #main-content{ margin-left: 10px; width: 100%; }

  

 #main-content{


     margin-left: 10px;


     width: 100%;


 } 

And my XHTML.
Code:

<div id="main-content">Blahblahblah</div><!--Fairly simple :D-->

I am using XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Can anyone tell me why my TOP margin on the content div works fine in FF but isn't acknowledged in IE. (Other then IE being a terrible browser)

css here

Code:

@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
body{
	margin:0px;
}

#nav{
	position:absolute;
	height:35px;
	background-color:#666666;
	width:405px;
	left:60%;
	top:65px;
}	
#header{
	height:100px;
	background-color:#333333;
}
#content{
	position:relative;
	margin-left:auto;
	margin-right:auto;
	margin-top:50px;
	height:500px;
	width:75%;

Hi!

Is it a good idea to always use padding and never margin (span, divs, etc.)? or would a combination between margin and padding be better?

P.S. In some places I must use padding... in the others I use margin but could use padding instead... wouldn't it be more consistent to always use padding?

Thank you
