CSS - Ie8 > Background Spills Out > Overflow: Hidden Partialy Fixes It
Hello,
I have a problem appearing only in IE8, but I don't seem to find the exact bug and solution. In this page http://www.cracowflats.com/index.php/search/show/id/181 there is a Details area (bottom left) where titles have a green background. For some reason this green background appears in other parts of the page. In other browsers, the whole page has a white background, as it should. 1) With this code in theme.css a {color:#62860b; } h3, h4 { color: #70af1d;} .color_title { background: #76a637;color:#fff;} .logo h1 a { color: #62860b !important;} it appers everywhere and the whole background of the page is green (should be white). 2) when I add an "overflow: hidden;" here .color_title { background: #76a637;color:#fff; overflow: hidden;} it gets better, as the main area is white. But I still have a lot of green on the footer (and tabs). If I could find out to which bug it refers, it would be easier to find a solution. Any hint would be appreciated! Thanks! Luca Similar TutorialsHello, after a few hours I managed to identify the CSS element responsible for this problem. However so far I have no solution on how I could solve this problem. Basically the problem is very minor but still frustrating. I am using the following command to set a DIV element with transparent background; Code: filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient (gradientype=0,startColorstr='#60ff0000', endColorstr='#60ff0000'); The DIV element becomes transparent. However the parent element - which is set with the CSS attribute overflow:hidden - is always displaying an extra pixel on the right of the container. This might not be clear at first, which is why I attached the following screen shot. (the light red line is the extra 1px I am referring to) If I remove the transparency CSS attribute for IE8 then this extra 1px will disappear. However that means loosing the wanted transparency. I have also developed the following example of the problem; Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Does anyone know what's causing the problem and how I can solve it. It is true that 1px might not sound much. But it still frustrates me knowing that it is there and the fact that on Firefox all works great. Good Day all, I've tried a few different hacks/fixes now to fix my PNG problem in IE6 but none seem to have any effect. I'm starting to wonder if this is fixable. Can anyone provide some insight as to what the problem could be? I seem to be ok in all browsers except IE6... 029c92a.netsolhost.com/brushes.html Best, Colin I am having trouble with the overflow: hidden; in IE6. I have a simple example. I have rewritten this to make it as simple as possible. [code] <html> <head> </head> <body> <div style="position:absolute; top: 100px; width:200px; z-index:1; bottom: 113px; overflow:hidden"> <img src="images/700/900-pixel-height-image.jpg"> </div> </body> </html> This simple page works fine in Firefox but in IE6 the overflow:hidden does not work. Why? I thought IE6 completely supported overflow. This is working fine in FF, but IE ignores it. I have large bottom margin and large negative bottom padding contained in a wrapper with overflow set to hidden, to keep my columns the same length for different content, which seems to be ignored in IE. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the site, but I don't really know what I'm doing, so I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.. Can anyone help? Structure; Code: <div id="divBranding">

Is there a way to have overflow content of a DIV hidden at the top of the DIV instead of the bottom? For instance, if I have a DIV that is 200px in height and the content within the DIV ("My top content ... my bottom content.") exceeds 200px: Code: <div style="height: 200px; overflow: hidden;"> My top content<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> My bottom content. </div> I want the "My bottom content." to always show at the bottom of the DIV, but the "My top content..." to be hidden. I hope this makes since. Thanks! -Chris For some reason overflow hidden is not working in chrome, ff and ie both seem to work as expected. I am totally lost here? Code:

Overflow:hidden, is supposed to expand a box (unless a height is set) to it's contents (just another quirky, stupid CSS rule). I have this working on all browsers except IE6 in one area. I've placed a green box around the problem area, which is the footer of this page: http://www.poweredpages.com/newtarget/ctia/ You'll see it looks fine in most places but is a skinny line in IE. I need it to render correctly because it has some padding attributes. Here it is in the css file: .footer{ padding:10px 35px 10px 35px; overflow:hidden; } Any thoughts why it's not working in IE6? Does anyone know why overflow:hidden does not work when height is given in percentage? The following example does not work and all values from 1 to 20 are shown on screen ... Code: <div style="overflow:hidden;height:10%;border:1px solid green;"> 1<br /> 2<br /> 3<br /> 4<br /> 5<br /> 6<br /> 7<br /> 8<br /> 9<br /> 10<br /> 11<br /> 12<br /> 13<br /> 14<br /> 15<br /> 16<br /> 17<br /> 18<br /> 19<br /> 20<br /> </div> Changing height:10% to height:50px makes the overflow:hidden works fine. Does anyone know how I can make the overflow:hidden css rule with height rule given in percentage? While trying to get text-overflow: ellipsis going with list items, I noticed that bullets were disappearing in Webkit (Safari and Chrome) and Opera browsers. I narrowed the problem down to overflow: hidden. I understand why putting overflow: hidden on a list item can hide the bullets (firefox also hides them in that case), but I'm putting it on a div inside the list item, and the bullets are still going away in those browsers (firefox and ie still show them, but not webkit and opera). This illustrates what I'm trying to do: http://sethsticco.net/files/possiblebug.html ..and this narrows the problem down to overflow: hidden: http://sethsticco.net/files/simpler.html The first list is normal, with no styling. The second one has overflow: hidden applied to the <li> tags. The bullets disappear for firefox, webkit, and opera, but not ie. The third list is the important one. It only applies overflow: hidden to the <div> tags inside the <li> tags, but bullets still disappear for Webkit and Opera. The fourth list is only there to show what happens if I try using <span> tags. They act like divs when they get display: block, and they don't get the ellipsis when they're inline. I feel like I've found a bug, but regardless, I really just want to get text-overflow: ellipsis going on list items. Does anyone have any ideas? Title sounds a bit contradictory, I know, but please bear with me... I'm building a simple chat application with html, javascript php and mysql. The technical stuff (php/ajax etc) i'm absolutly fine with; what I'm struggling with is the CSS to make it behave how I want. I've got a prrof-of-concept page working 90% how I want, here http://chris.loyaltymatters.co.uk/chat-demo/ This works by having an outer div of position:relative and an inner div of position:absolute; bottom:0px so that as new content gets added to the bottom, older text goes up. So far so good....but I want a scroll bar so that I can scroll up to see previous comments. Giving the inner div a height value gives me a scroll bar, but the position remains at the top and new content gets hidden towards the bottom html: Code: <div id='container'> <div id='chatRoom'> </div> </div> css Code: #container {
width:500px;
height:500px;
margin:50px auto;
border:1px solid black;
position:relative;
overflow-y:scroll;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
#chatRoom {
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
margin:5px;
width:100%;
}
To summarise, all I need now is a scroll bar so that I can scroll up many thanks in advance I had a problem earlier with my containing DIV pushing too wide which was resolved by adding "overflow:hidden" to my containing DIV. The problem is now that it's cutting off the sides of one of my graphics. At the bottom of my page, I have a link which you can click that will (through the magic of javascript) reveal divs on either side of my main content (the link at the bottom of the page says "reveal sea creature") When overflow:hidden was NOT on my containing DIV, I had the problem with all the extra space, but these revealing divs worked fine. Now that I add overflow:hidden, the extra space is gone, but the divs are cut off. I've tried pushing everything to the left which seems to make the DIV on the right work fine, but the left is still a problem. I realize this doesn't make sense without code, so here's the site. www . deepwaterchurch . com Thanks so much. Hello all I have an elastic design in which an image clips to the appropriate size via overflow: hidden. Is there any way to control which sides are cropped? What I mean is, can one emulate the background-position property for IMGes with overflow: hidden? Thanks Tom okay I don't know why my text will not wrap in any of my "float:rights" My quicklink section I don't care about as much as the feature student section I'm building. The text spills out of the paragrah block and keeps running. http://www.mgan.net/form-honors/main(2).htm Any thoughts on how to fix it or a link to a site that would explain it's just as good I currently have a PRE tag inside a DIV tag. The DIV tag has a limited size. Often a long line of text will stretch outside the PRE tag. I do not mind this horisontal overflow as the contents has more meaning when it is not wrapped. My problem is that this overflow text flows under the right hand navigation column on my site. I would like the PRE tag to be above everything else on my site. How can I do this? The overflow text seems to have no background, making it hard to read if it is over an image. Is there any way to get overflow text to have a brackground without expanding the PRE tag? I have a layer 'main' that contains two columns - one on the left called 'left', one on the right called 'right'. Both columns are layers themselves. 'main' has a background colour 'left' and 'right' have a fixed size background image which does not repeat. JavaScript determines the size of the window and then sets the height of these three layers exactly. This is supposed to be a minimum height to ensure the page is filled initially, however I have used the following code (explained later): Code:
if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
// main height
var pageHeight = myHeight;
document.getElementById("main").style.height = pageHeight+"px";
// content height
var leftHeight = pageHeight - 233;
document.getElementById("left").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
document.getElementById("right").style.height = leftHeight+"px";
Content on 'right' may extend beyond the height of the page and therefore makes the page scroll. When the content in 'right' expands - it is hoped that the size of 'main' expands so that the background colour of this layer fills the space where the content overflows. Using the above JavaScript and this HTML - that works as desired in IE7. Code:
<div id="main" style="position: relative; margin: 0 auto; width: 680px; background: #E1E6EA; text-align: left; padding: 0; z-index: 2">
<div id="left" style="float: left; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 198px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/left.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 3">
blah
</div>
<div id="right" style="float: right; text-align: center; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 482px; background: #E1E6EA; background-image: url('images/right.jpg'); background-repeat: repeat-x; z-index: 3; overflow: inherit">
badly coded extra bit to extend the layer

<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br><br><br>yhyuyuy
<br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfdgf
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
gfgf
<br><br><br><br>yhyuyuy
</div>
</div>
As the content of 'right' expands so does the background behind everything. HOWEVER - this only works in IE and not the other two test browsers: Safari and Firefox. To remedy this - I tried minHeight instead of height. The outcome of that - the background behind 'right' extends (because the background colour continues past the minHeight) but the background behind 'left' is just not shown and the background of 'main' does not extent. Therefore it has a background on the left hand side until the minHeight of 'main' then the left hand side has no background after that point. That's in Firefox and Safari. With this "solution" in IE - it goes a bit weird but since it doesn't even work right in the other two I ignore that for now. So - it either works in IE or not at all. Hence why I am currently using the code that at least works in a browser. Any suggestions to get it working in all? My CSS works in IE and Mozilla but not Netscape or Opera I have a 2 column website, built with 2 relative position DIVs, with overflow set to auto. Because of this, I turned off overflow on the body tag and on the html tag (overflow: hidden;). I didn't want to have 2 scroll bars on the right side of the window. When I first tested this on 4 browsers, IE, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, it worked great, only having one scroll bar on the right side of the window when the page was longer than the window height. But when I moved to a new host server recently, I discovered that Netscape and Opera stopped working. They now simply give me blank screens. When I remove the "overflow: hidden;" specifications from the body tag and the HTML tag in my CSS file, Netscape and Opera once again display my web pages. However, now I get 2 scrollbars on the right side of all 4 browsers (in IE, the second scrollbar isn't actually there, but the space holder for the scrollbar is there). Is there a cross browser way for doing what I'm trying to do? Or am I faced with detecting the browser type on the server-side, and setting the style sheet appropriately? Here are the related parts of my CSS: /* CSS styles */ BODY { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size : 10pt; background : Black; color : White; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-width: 0; overflow: hidden; } HTML { overflow: hidden; } #LeftNavDIV { position:relative; width:185px; height:100%; float:left; padding:2px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:1px solid white; overflow:auto; } #ContentDIV { position:relative; height:100%; width:75%; float:right; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:0px dashed #336699; overflow:auto; } Hey all, I am creating a very simple website with stylesheets. My style works perfectly in firefox, and very close in IE and Safari. Also, I havn't worked with stylesheets much so I'm no master and was looking for any critiques on my method of doing things so I might get better. It felt like I had to use far too many negative margins to get things to sit where I wanted, and I am a bit worried if the page is going to break down when resized or on mobile phones. The URL Is h t t p : / / s c h e d u l e r . f p i t e s t e r s . com / s i m p l e s t y l e (no spaces) If you load it in firefox (3.5.9) it looks just like I want it to. If you load in Internet explorer, the text in the body area is far to the right. I do not know why that is happening. If you load in safari, the yellow bar (the breadcrumbs navigation) floats all the way to the left. I don't know why it is doing that. If anyone could provide some tips on how to fix those issues, and also feel free to offer any other advice to a CSS newb, I would really appreciate it. thank you. Okay, i was just messing around with (X)HTML and CSS and was wondering if there was an easy way to do this. When viewed in Internet Explorer (6 sp1) it shows fine, the floating "menu" to the left extends the "body" division. But if I view it in FF (1.0.4) then the floating menu doesnt expand the "body" division like it does in IE. I usually fix this with (if a page doesnt have a lot of content) a lot of breaks to even it out. But is there an easier way? URL for the website so you can see it is below. (There's really almost nothing on it, just messing around with layout) http://www.omnimist.com [edit] looked at it via opera and netscape and they're the same as FireFox, but i want it to look like it does with IE...[/edit] |
