CSS - Textarea Size Is Different Between Ie Anf Ff - Firefox Seems To Be The Wrong One!
Hello all! I'm having an odd problem. I have a select box and a textarea right next to each other that need to be the exact same dimensions. I figure, easy, just set the height and width via CSS properties, but that doesn't seem to be accurate at all - in either browser. I got out a neat program called pixel ruler to see exactly how many pixels each is displayed with. This is what happens:
ie - Not counting borders, the textarea is the exact width and height. The select box is correct width (not counting the border. If you include the 1px standard blue border on any of these, they are 2px too wide or tall). However, the height of the select box(very annoying) seems to be somewhat ignored in that ie forces the select box to end at the end of a row, so giving it a height will just approximate a row number. It would be nice if I could fix this. Any thoughts on that? firefox- Not including the border, the select box is 2px too few in both the width and height. If you include the border it is exact. (which means that ie and ff are going to be hard to match.) But here is the REAL puzzler and the biggest reason for the post. Firefox seems to get the textarea size completely wrong. Not including the border, it is 2px too wide and tall! If you include the border, it is then 4px too wide and tall. I have no padding or margins on these by the way, so that can't be the answer. Any thought as to why firefox is putting extra width and height on textareas? Or any suggestions on making a textarea and select the same size in both ff and ie? Thanks! Similar TutorialsHaving a strange problem with textarea font sizes in Firefox (1.06) See here - http://www.4L.ie/contact.php Text entered in the text fields is appearing correctly, but when entering text into the "Your Query" textarea, the font-size is noticeably smaller and less legible. It appears fine in IE6. My CSS relating to fonts is as follows: Code:
body {
font: 76% verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
input, select, textarea {
font-size: 1em;
}
If I use pixels (ie font-size: 12px) there is no problem. Ems and % seems to mess things up. Anybody able to shed some light on this? A possible bug in Firefox 1.06? Thanks in advance. hello is it possible to use css or some other artifice to make textarea/input elements adjust their row/col/size when the user increases/decreases the font size? i'm mostly talking about IE, because netscape/etc. seem to work it out just fine... setting a relative font-size for textarea/input elements on the stylesheet doesn't seem to do the trick. as usual, i tried looking around for info on this but found none, i'm beginning to think it just can't be done. any help would be really appreciated Hello again. Or should I say ( Time on my watch is 22:17 and because of time zones (+7 for US) ) good morning ? If go to the: http://www.odin.foxnet.pl/archives.html and expand these 2 menus : Navigation and Other - You will see my problem, and it was working before, now it looks, just like you can see. Second problem: solved And at the ending: Fileds for name and mail for comment wasn't so bad as now. Just look at it (2 eg: http://www.odin.foxnet.pl/2005/09/14/Tales/mj-przyszy-bokken.html http://www.odin.foxnet.pl/2005/09/15/Home/userfriendly-url.html ) Goodnight everyone. You are great people, offering great help. milosz-odin - known from this weigher I have a website created with absolute positioning. So when someone increases the font of the text on the page (with the view menu for the browser), some of my text may run outside of the images that they are placed over. I had this problem with IE as well as firefox, but set all of the text with font-size in my CSS file. Now IE works perfectly, but in firefox, the size of the text can still be increased, thus, making the text expand outside of the images. How can I prevent this in firefox? Second question... is there a way to set the size of the actual bullets themselves to a set size so they dont increase/decrease? I'm referring to the bullets, and not the text beside the bullets... I may go with images for the bullets, but was trying to prevent that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. my page displays properly, except for a few items/buttons. Please look at this url http://www.hospitaltvrental.com/Main1.html, you'll see what I'm talking about. I wonder why it's ok in IE, and not in Firefox, anything I should know or do ? Thanks. Dave Here's only part of the css. Code: .....
#box {position: relative; width:850px; margin: 0 auto; text-align:left;}
#myButtons{
position: absolute;
width: 320px;
top: 340px;
left: 25px;
}
.....
and the according HTML... <div id="myButtons"><a href="http://www.transactionsintercite.com/hopitel/giftmenu.php?lag=en"><img src="../images/loccadbuttonen.jpg" border="0" alt="Gift TV Rental Package" class="img_dessous"/></a><a href="http://www.transactionsintercite.com/hopitel/persmenu.php?lag=en"><img src="../images/locpersbuttonen.jpg" alt="Personal TV Rental Package" border="0" class="img_dessous2"/></a></div> I am newbie in CSS but I do not want to surrender to use tables. In Explorer it is seen OK but is wrong in Firefox. Why? URL URL www.lekunberri.com/focesdelcamino/mapa.asp?id=31 There is div called "mapaaundi" with relative positioning that contains images as fragments of a map. Inside there are some images (arrows) of the class "boloaundi", with absolute positioning. I have previously tried something similar to this and works well. Thanks in advance! Hi, why Firefox shows it wrong and IE right? The website is www.theoutsourcingcompany.com If I change the value of margin-top to zero for the divs div-logo and div-text it looks good on both browsers but there's too much white space on top of the logo and the text...

Ok so this is probably really basic but I'm tearing my hair out. the page is http://fireshui.com/about.php the css is http://fireshui.com/global/styles2.css I used to use the bigtitle class for headers (you can see an example of this at http://fireshui.com/mtglinks.php). One day I looked in IE and it wasn't showing up right. So I decided to change it to the proper way of using h1, h2, etc. In Firefox, the size for h1 is right - it's 110% of the normal text. In IE, it's really huge, which I don't want. On a side note, if you checked out http://fireshui.com/mtglinks.php, why exactly is the bigtitle class not working? I used to use fixed sizes before I found out they were bad, the old css is at http://fireshui.com/global/styles.css, and that doesn't work either. This is all hugely confusing. Thanks for any help you can offer!! :-) I have a problem with this site - shop dot meenola dot com (Sorry - i am a new member and therefore cannot post a proper URL) - In FF the page is always scrollable to the right although there is nothing there and as far as i can tell the HTML ends in the initially viewable area. Not usually a problem for most - but using a macbook scrollpad, you tend to fly "offscreen" rather easily. Have tested in Chrome, IE, Opera and Safari - all of which display correctly (The page ends when the HTML does). Any ideas? Thanks /Adam Greetings... I've looked all around for a solution, and can't find one. Any help that anyone could provide would so greatly appreciated. My site http://www.baltimoregamers.com displays the div boxes incorectly in Firefox. I am using quite an unusual layout with one big picture as a plate for the entire site... I then lay div boxes/layers ontop of the plate to position text exactly where I want it to go. It works flawlessly in IE, but displays a too far down and to the right in FF/Mozilla. I am new to using CSS and I'm sure that something is off somewhere in the code. Thank in advance for any help.

But it shows wrong in Internet Explorer and Opera. The code looks ok, so i think it must be CSS. Can anyone help Hi- I am finishing up design of a site, and validated it with the W3c validator (everything is valid). When I go to it on IE, everything shows up the way that it should. However, when I go to it on Firefox or Safari, on three pages there seems to be a 'chunk' taken out of the left side. If you compare the three pages in IE and Firefox you should see what I mean (devshed won't let me post links so sorry for the formatting): 01f086d.netsolhost dot com/yk/services dot html 01f086d.netsolhost dot com/yk/experience dot html 01f086d.netsolhost dot com/yk/principals dot html It seems to be the page length that is causing this, because on shorter length pages, there is no chunk. I am using DIV tags to lay the site out, which should be pretty easy to follow if you view source. My CSS file is at: 01f086d.netsolhost dot com/yk/assets/css/defaultPage dot css (also validated with W3C). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I have spent hours on this last problem and can't figure out what is causing it! When I view my Dreamweaver CS4 html page on Firefox, the AP elements I used on it are not viewing properly. They are getting bumped down a bit and thus misaligning with other elements on the page. Any suggestions? Thanks. Okay here's the problem, I have used px instead of % and I have a feeling it's ruined my whole site because of the fact that users can set their font size custom which TOTALLY messes up margins and things that I have set so precisely. Here is my site: www.msredimp.000webhost.info At small it works perfectly and the forms stay all normal, but when it's increased or decreased it totally ruins it. Is there a way to force the settings in Mozilla to normal size? Or any other way? Thank you, and sorry for being such a newbie. Hi there, I'm completely new to CSS. I'm trying to do this more than one hour but can't get it right. Code: <font color='white'><font size='1' face=verdana size=1> I couldn't find the equivalent of this in CSS This is my last experiment but it doesn't seem to work either Code: fontstyle { color : #FFFFFF; font-family : verdana ; font-size :1;}
Thanks So when using Netscape 7.2 & Opera 7.5 and MSIE 6.0, How do you get a simple tag like body { font-size:small; } to be equal in all browsers? Setting IE Text Size to Medium, and Opera's Zoom to 100% (both defaults) and Netscape 7.2 to 120% (not the default) is one way, but is there a CSS way? By the way, the child element hack "body>div {property}" wasn't working no matter what I tried, by not working I mean to say Netscape never would read it or apply it. It appeared to be that Opera & IE need to read the same value while Netscape needs to apply a larger size to be equal to IE's and Opera's rendering. B I could see this as potentially being really easy to do or really hard to do. I'm hoping for the former. Suppose I have 3 divs, A, B, C and that I want the total width of A + B + C to equal the width of the screen. Suppose also that I want them to be inline. How can I have B to be a fixed width while A and C expand depending on the screen width (such that the width of A = the width of C)? I am desperate. I think I found a bug in Firefox, and I'm not sure how to work around it. The following code works in everything (IE 8, Chrome, Safari, Opera) except Firefox (version 3.6.3). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Firefox? You can look what happens to the drop-down menu's on Menu 2 and 3 live by going to my site (deenfoxx dot com slash firefox-bug dot html). css Code: Original - css Code #main-nav { background-color: black; height: 40px; } #nav { position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { position: relative; float: left; display: table; width: 99px; height: 40px; border-right: 1px solid white; text-align: center; font-size: 10px; } #nav li:hover { background-color: darkred; } #nav a { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; padding: 0; background-color: gray; top: 40px; left: 0px; } #nav li ul li { width: 98px; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid white; } #main-nav html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="main-nav"> <ul id="nav"> <li id="m1"><a href="#1">Main Menu 1</a></li> <li> <a href="#2">Main Menu 2</a> <ul> <li><a href="#2a">Sub-Category 1</a></li> <li><a href="#2b">Sub-Category<br/>with multiple lines</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#3">Main Menu 3 with multiple lines</a> <ul> <li><a href="#3a">Sub-Category 2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#4">Main Menu item which has a really long name on it</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="main-nav"> The problem appears to be that "#nav li" happens to have position:relative; and a display:table; and "#nav li ul" is position:absolute;. Normally, absolute positioning requires its parent or ancestor position to be set, but when used with the table display, it doesn't work normally on Firefox--but it does on other browsers. Can someone help me with a workaround that does not involve altering the HTML? If I must, I will accept a workaround that requires changing the HTML, but I'll have to do some heavy duty recoding of Magento's core menu generation. Anyone that knows Magento knows I want to avoid that like the plague--my example is a very simplified version of the problem. Hi all, I'am using a component called TinyMce and what people not to dragg images into the textrea how would I prevent this? Regards, Stephen Alistoun |
