CSS - Elements Not The Same Width In Ie And Firefox
The template I am working on is a simple HTML page that I want to modify to work in Joomla.
However the look of the site is not quite the same in Firefox (where it looks good) and IE8 where one part of it I could not make right for two days. The left sidebar is shorter and the content right side is shorter and not aligned. I am aware that is something small but I could not get it right. Please help. The URL is: compasstgdotcom/~orak the css in questions is: base.css Thank you all Similar TutorialsOkay, so I want to get an image (left) and a div container (right) positioned on the same line. The image is 225x225, and I want 15px of space between the image and div container; the div container should also fill in the rest of the width on that page. HTML = <img id="logo" src="logo.gif" width="225" height="225"><!- insert 15px spacing --><div id="navbox"><!-- 100% width? --></div> and, CSS = ? Thanks! Hi there! I've been diving into trying to make mobile web pages and though a lot of my former CSS experience helps me a great deal I get a bit perplexed about forms. I'd like to have all my form elements at the width of a 100% except for checkboxes and radiobuttons. Now, this almost works out all the way but I have a problem with how the strict rendering handles form elements. I've tried using both XHTML Mobile 1.2 and XHTML Mobile 1.0 but the same problems arise; Apart from wanting the elements to go 100% in width, I also would like them to respect margins. If I simply set the width to a 100% and my right and left margins to, say, 5px, I get the field pushed in 5 pixels from the left but I cannot get the 5 pixel indent from the right. I have tried using a wrapper div but it suffers the same result. I have figured out that this can have something to do with the rules of mobile pages provided by the XHTML mobile rendering specification but I'm now wondering if there's anything I can do to accomplish this. I've found out that mobile pages that have full width elements look (in almost all cases) very good on most handsets I've tested. Thanks in advance! Hi guys, When a div element displays a vertical scrollbar the width of the scrollbar is subtracted from the width of the element, so for example if the div has a width of 200px and the scrollbar is 18px, the 18px of the scrollbar is subtracted from 200px, this means that now 182px of the div is now visible, with the scrollbar occupying the other 18px. Is there a way to make the scrollbars add to the width of the element so when the scrollbar becomes active the viewable area of the DIV is still 200px and the width of the div + scrollbar is 218px. I've been playing around with some JavaScript/DOM type solutions, by using to the scrollHeight elementHeight variables to detect when the scrollbar is present and then changing the width of the div element, but I was wondering if there was a more elegant and less verbose solution using css? Regards, Khmer42 Interesting situation i have. In my css i have this declared Code: css
a:link, a:visited { color: #c97c0f; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; }
a:active, a:hover { color: #82581d; text-decoration: underline; }
div#buenprov_content a:link, a:visited { color: #644e14; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; }
div#buenprov_content a:hover { color: #35290a; text-decoration: underline; }
For a change, IE displays the link colors correctly, the ones inside the div with the id buenprov_content have the color i want them to, and the rest of the page has the ones that are global. However, in firefox, they all inherit the traits from the #buenprov_content Even links not inside divs with that ID.... as shown: Here ( The ones in the fading content should be a different color ) Im building that site for a restaurant...but anyways, im a bit stumped as to why FF is doing this...any help? Thanks. I am using a <dl> list to render dates and titles for a press release page. I want to display the date first and then display the title on the same line next to the date. If the title needs to wrap to more than 1 line, it should not wrap below the date - its left margin should be consistent. Simple example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.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">
dl {
width: 100%;
}
dt, dd {
float: left;
margin: 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<dl>
<dt>12.24.2006</dt>
<dd>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi consectetuer cursus lacus. Nullam imperdiet diam sit amet dui. Suspendisse nonummy, ante ut pharetra vehicula, augue neque porta arcu, vel adipiscing lorem augue eu purus. Aenean vulputate pellentesque arcu.</dd>
</dl>
<body>
</body>
</html>
My problem is that with a long title that wraps to more than 1 line, Firefox is putting the <dd> on its own line - it will not float it next to the <dt> as it should. If you change the title to something shoter like Code: <dd>A ShortTitle</dd> It displays as it should. Any ideas why this is happening? Chrome and Firefox aren't styling any of the span elements I have-in IE they load fine. For example the css..I'll check back in this book I have and online to see if I can find the issue. I appreciate any help. For example heres a span I have. Code:
.title {background-color:CCCCCC;
font-family:Verdana;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
border:2px double blue;
height:70px;
width:200px;
}
the html.. Code: <div id="menu">
<span class="button">
<a href="www.google.com">home</a>
</span>
<span class="button">
<a href="www.google.com">home</a>
</span>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="sidebar">
<p>sidebar to the right</p>
<h2>text</h2>
</div>
<span class="title">
<h2>Title of something</h2>
</span>
<p>some text sdfdsdsfdsf</p>
</div>
It may be that the divs and spans are conflicting because of their properties or that they are not properly nested or named..? Here's my whole css document. Code:
#container {margin-left:25%;
margin-right:25%;
}
#header {text-align:center;
background-color:grey;
border:solid;
border-width:2px;
border-color:black;
margin-bottom:20px;
}
#menu {background-color:white;

border-color:black;
border-width:1px;

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. Hey, I need to get a div to expand to the full width of a page in firefox. IE seems to do this automatically. Say I have this layout; Code: <div style="float:left; width:30px;">first column</div> <div style="float:left; width:100%;">second column</div> In firefox, this puts the second div on a new row and expands it to the full width of the page; | 30px | | 100% | I want it to stay on the same row as the first div, and use the available space; |30px| |left over width (100%)| I can get this working in IE but i'm struggling with firefox... Thanks for your time, -Ross Hi there! My website (Yes.. I'm aware I use tables. Sue me. :P) has been driving me crazy CSS-wise. width:100% doesn't seem work right! Well, I know it does... but it hasn't been, and I have no idea why. As you can see in that page (and the forums too....) the black-bordered table underneath each subheader stretches too far in everything but Firefox. In Opera, not only does the black-bordered table stretch too far, but the subheading stretch... too little. O_o I am at a complete loss for words at this. Also, might I point out that when you visit a song on the site, the file type navigation (#sheetNav in the CSS file) works just fine? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. For your convenience, here is the CSS file. Yes, it's something of a mess... forgive me. http://apollomix.com/master.css Thanks a lot! Hi, I'm having a problem, I'm using the chunk of css code below to make a horizontal menu that I want to run across the 895 px #container that I've created. The menu fits perfectly in IE, but in firefox it overflows the last menu button the next line. How do I get the css menu to be the exact same width in firefox and IE?? Here's the css: Code: #snav ul
{
float:left;
width:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
}
a
{
float:left;
width:7.9em;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:center;
color:black;
background-color:#eed9ac;
padding:0.2em 0.6em;
border-right:1px solid black;
}
a:hover {background-color:#e7bb5b; text-decoration:underline; color:#9b2f1e}
li {display:inline}
Thanks for looking! I use this in IE: <span style="width:22"></span> as a blank spacer. The 22 is actually calculated so it varies. Of course it does not work in Firefox. I get no spacing at all. What is the acceptable cross browser method of doing this? Thanks in advance. As simple as the problem sounds, Im completely puzzled by what could be going wrong. The problem is if I set the width of my div too 100%, it wont show up in Firefox. It works fine if I define it in pixels, but I want it to just stretch. Using a % works fine in IE. Here is the code: Code:
#left {
width:100%;
height:598px;
padding:0;
background: #EEF;
display: table-cell;
background: url("bg.gif") top left repeat-x;
}
Anyone have any ideas? Hello all! I've problem with firefox rendering's of span tag, the problem is in the width definition, the code is this: Code: <span style="width:100%; background:red">My name is Danny!</span> IE show me a 100% red row with the text instead Firefox show me only text with the backgroud color. Why this? is a Firefox bug or is not possible to assign width definition to the span tag?! Hello all. This is a problem I am encountering on many placing: when I put a width to an certain object (let's say 20px), and I want the text in the object to start and pixel 4px, I can use padding-left:4px; This is no problem in Internet explorer, but Firefox seems to make this object 4px wider. Instead of keeping the object 20 pixels, it becomes 24 pixels. Does anybody know how to get of this bug in Firefox? I'm trying to get my submenu lists to be the same width between IE and Firefox, but they aren't equal for some reason. I'm setting the width to 8em, but it's displaying differently between the two browsers. Here's a link to the page Here is my css: Code:

Hi, can anybody help me stretch green buttons for Firefox just like they appear in IE? I'd greatly appreciate the help. Please see the attached html. Firefox 3.6 is showing a blank screen for everything I have set as 100% width but looks ok in Firefox 5. My main concern at this point is this: I'm trying to figure out how to move the 4 navigation items (the owl, contact, portfolio and home) closer to the tree without going over or under it. Any help or suggestions I can get are much appreciated! ------------------------------------- Here's the HTML: Code:

NEVER MIND. Got it. lol The problem I have has arisen whilst trying to create a horizontal and a vertical navigation menu using <li> tags. It is best illustrated by the following example: Code: <div style="width:100%;height:50px;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> <br /> <div style="width:100px;height:100%;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> and the CSS Code:
div {
border:0;
background-color:#888888;
}
ul {
margin:0;padding:0;
}
ul li {
float:left;
list-style:none;
background-color:#CCCCCC;
height:50px;
width:100px;
}
The <div> tags are set to 50px height and 100px width respectively. When an <li> element is placed within the div with the same height or width they display the way I intended. However once a 1px border is applied to the <li>'s then in IE the border is counted as part of the width or height. In Firefox the border will add 2px to the starting height and width giving the effect of width:102px or height:52px;. This is massively frustrating as I need each <li> to have the 1px border. It looks different in each browser (I have not tested it in netscape nor opera, but I suspect they will display the same as Firefox.) Can anyone provide a fix to get get round this please? Thank you in advance. Please delete... The main body text in IE stays within the width I gave it, but in Firefox, it just goes off the div, its all not showing becasue I have the containing div overflow:hidden, but why won't it stay in the fixed width div, 603px, in Firefox like it does in IE? mediacontour.com/TCS/frequently-asked-questions.php |
