CSS - Css Margin - Help Required
Hello All,
First time poster here. I am pretty new to CSS and this is one of my first attempts so bear with me. On the page below the image on the right and footer are touching. I have tried adding a "margin-bottom" to the main content area and also a "margin-top" to the footer wrap but neither seem to work. Generally I want to put a space of roughly 15px between both. This issue arises on Firefox, Safari & Chrome. Seems to work fine in IE. www . kmsjoinery . com/wip/lamella.php Any help would be greatly appreciated. Similar TutorialsI've been looking through many, many forums trying to resolve this issue, so please forgive me if there is a solution to this that I've missed. Here's the deal: On some installs of Firefox (4.0), the body is being positioned 28px lower than the top of the screen. I set the <html> tag to have a light blue background to troubleshoot the issue, and now there is a light blue bar across the top of the page, proving that it is the body of the page that is lower than it should be. I thought it was a Firefox "collapsing margin" issue, so I added "margin:0; to almost everything, and it didn't help. I'm trying to do this without having to absolutely position everything. Here's the site: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com here's the css: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com/wp-content/themes/myportlandtours/style.css Anybody have insight into this? Background info: - I have validated the page and CSS, no problems there - Site is working properly in Firefox and IE, seems to be a margin issue in Safari -This margin issue is not the common Safari bug with a negative margin being applied to a floated element -I am using Safari in a windows environment, I do not have a Mac The problem: -in Safari the top margin on the content either is either not being applied at all or is being interpreted differently -it may be of note that I was having the same issue with IE, but was able to specify an IE specific style sheet for it, I don't believe this is possible in Safari?

Been looking around the web but most are suggesting to do what i have already done. I've got this in style.css file: Code: /* SEARCH Bar */ .lb_bl {background: url(/img/lb_bl.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #E5ECEC} .lb_br {background: url(/img/lb_br.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat} .lb_tl {background: url(/img/lb_tl.gif) 0 0 no-repeat} .lb_tr {background: url(/img/lb_tr.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding: 3px} .clear {font-size: 1px; height: 1px} .topform { position: absolute; right: 5px; top: 65px; width: 300px; font-size: 10px; font-family: myriad, verdana, sans-serif; text-align: right; } input, form { font-size: 11px; font-family: myriad, verdana, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; } /* End of SEARCH Bar */ Which refers to this part of my index.php page: Code: <!-- Top right SEARCH --> <div class="topform"> <div class="lb_bl"> <div class="lb_br"> <div class="lb_tl"> <div class="lb_tr"> <form name="form" id="form" method="post" action=""><input name="search" type="text" /> <input name="search" type="button" value="SEARCH" /></form> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> </div> <!-- End of top right SEARCH --> But i am still getting a space below the form in IE (firefox is perfect). What should i do? You can see an example of the page at www.theresortwarehouse.com Thanks in advance to anyone who can help - Gaz 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 :-) Josh 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? Thomas Hi I have put together a home page using code from around the web and adjusted it until I have something that I like I think. My home page uses some css for color and style but I want to repeat my menu throughout the site, and clean up the css but dont have a clue what to do. I am not sure I can do this but if I put up my code and home page template would someone look at it for me please? Thank you Tiler Heya everyone, The next item on my todo list is to work on a design for DynaSig with just CSS for layout rather than the current tables. I haven't used CSS to create a really complex template before and I am not sure where to start. I want it to look pretty much exactly the same as the original. So. What do I do first? What should I learn and complete first? I'm kinda stuck on this one, and I don't want it to get put on the back-burner. Thanks for ideas/tips/comments/help/whatever comp Hi Guys, Hope someone can help out here.. I am trying to create a page with a header and footer and a middle portion for the content. I am not used to using CSS and I thought I had it working but when I test in IE it doesn't quite work as expected.. The footer removes itself from the bottom of the page and the scrollbars for the maincontent extend below the footer.. You'll see what I mean if you open this in IE: http://www.modelglamorous.com/div_test.htm http://www.modelglamorous.com/css/mainstyle.css It works perfectly in Firefox but not in IE.. I think it's something simple but I am not sure how to fix it.. TIA, N. Please take a look at the following page. its a simple two column layout http://www.aptlogix.com/testcss.html I need to have both divs side by side of same height independent of the contents in them. how can i stretch the right yellow backgroudn to the full length of the page ?. the yellow color is displayed till the height of the page when i scroll the page the rest of the bottom is white. i have tried that min-height thing with it but no luck. Please advice Regards, DQ Hi, I have a site (URL address blocked: See forum rules) which I need the bottom footer bar to always be at the base of the screen (on larger resolutions). So when you start minising the browser window and adjusting it up and down it seems to have this grey space under the footer but the footer is meant to be flush to the bottom. Works on every other page bar the homepage and the problem only happens in IE7. Any ideas? HI hope someone can help me with this its been driving me mad for a couple of days now. Have desiged a site with css layout but I want to center it in a page so when I resize the browser window it will stay in the middle of the page. I know its a bit long winded but I would greatly appreciate the help.

I've recently developed a site on Mac OS X and been viewing it using Firefox whilst working on it, the site should look like this : http://www.timetraveltours.net/firefox.jpg However when viewed in Safari I have found that there is a problem with the menu bar as seen here : http://www.timetraveltours.net/safari.jpg To add to that I have noticed that there is also a problem at the bottom of the page, as seen here : http://www.timetraveltours.net/explorer.jpg I'm guessing that I just have to change some of the positioning or something in the CSS but don't really want to it without some help/advice first incase I mess the whole thing up. The CSS code can be found here http://www.timetraveltours.net/base.css Other style sheets are : http://www.timetraveltours.net/ie5mac.css http://www.timetraveltours.net/ie5win.css http://www.timetraveltours.net/netscape.css http://www.timetraveltours.net/screen.css http://www.timetraveltours.net/style.css (if needed) I'm also wondering if these problems appear in 3 different browsers on a Mac what problems there are when viewed with various browsers on Windows and would very much appreciate anyone to beta test the site for me on the Windows platform. I hope that I have explained myself cleary and given the correct information ? Many thanks in advance The site can be found at : http://www.timetraveltours.net Hi, i need a simple, clear and easy to understand explanation of the parameters given to the CSS 'clip' property. i understand what the clip property does in essence - basically clips a rectangle from the given image - but i do not understand how the points given to the rect() function work - i cannot visualise it. My book does not describe it very well and the websites i have visited dont either. Therefore id be grateful if someone could give me a simple explanation Thanks 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 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; }
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 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> Again sorry for my ignorance. ( just incase its viewable here ) 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? Regards Javi 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 |
