Ok, some trouble with Fire Fox and IE.

I am creating a site for Ernies Inn and for right now I am hosting it here until I am done and the owner is willing to have it.

http://ernies.bombinaid.com

Problems

IE:
The main box areas in each page keeps going over the menu!

FireFox:
In the menu page it seems every time the mouse goes over a h3 tag it has a mouse over effect. I am using <a name="something"> for the page jumping.

Here is the css code:

Code:

body      {background-color: black}
.header   {width: 100%; margin-left: -1px; margin-top: -4px;}
.links    {width: 100%; text-align: center; background-image: url('defult.gif'); background-repeat: repeat-x;}
.main     {background-color: #cc3333; height: auto; width: 700px; margin-top: -34px; margin-left: 7cm;}
.main2    {background: url(corner1.gif) 0 100% no-repeat}
.main3    {background: url(corner2.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat}
h3        {color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 30px;}
a:link    {text-decoration: underline; color: black;}
a:hover   {text-decoration: underline; color: black;}
a:visited {text-decoration: underline; color: black;}
hr        {color: white}
img.ajm113 {margin-left: 30cm;}

Can someone help me out here?

Hi all,
http://www.zitrote.com/forum/index.php?act=viewforum&f=4

if you see there in IE the two borders on the right dont appear in the topic listing but in FF they do??

Ok If you go to:

http://www.zahra-zahra.com/innerPage.html

if you hover over the side menu (sub/subcontact)which are supposed to be nested lists.. you will see some alignment issue with the pink and the brown-ish..

also the nested list was moved a bit forward so i added margin:-0.5em; but IE doesnt like it and has moved the li further back..
relevant code:
PHP Code:
#sideMenu {
    margin-top:0.2em;
    float:left;
    clear:left;
    width:24%;
}
#sideMenu ul {
    float:left;
    width:100%;
    list-style:none;
    margin:0em;
    padding:0em;    
}
#sideMenu li {
    clear:left;
    background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLi.jpg);
    padding:0.4em;
    margin-bottom:0.1em;
}
#sideMenu ul li ul {    
    margin:-0.5em;
    padding:0em;
    margin-top:0.3em;
    padding-top:0.2em;
    padding-bottom:0.2em;
}
#sideMenu ul li ul li {
    width:100%;
    background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLiLi.jpg);
}
#sideMenu a {
    text-indent:0em;
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#663333;
    margin-left:0em;
    font-size:1em;    
}
.nestedList a {
    text-indent:0em;
    padding:0.3em;
    padding-left:3em;
}
.nestedList a:hover {
    background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLiLiHover.jpg);
    background-position: -0.4em 0em; 
} 





HTML

PHP Code:
<div id="sideMenu">
        <ul>                
                <li><a href="">Contact</a>
                    <ul class="nestedList">
                        <li><a href="">sub</a></li>
                        <li><a href="">SUBcontact</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="">Return</a></li>
                <li><a href="">News</a></li>
                <li><a href="">FAQ</a></li>
                <li><a href="">bout us</a></li>
                <li><a href="">Home</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div> 





just a side question i have in the above code a nested class.. why cant i do something like

.nestedList ul {

}

i tried that but it didnt work...

Hey guys, I missed a day of my XHTML class in college and he went over most of the CSS that day, I was sick with the flu and he said that day was the most important, so I'm lost, I need to "Remove any <b>, <i>, <u> and <font> tags and replace them with inline CSS code."

So i come up with something like this

<Style Type="css/text">
<B style="color:blue> This is my display text </b>
</style>

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS INLINE CSS! HELP! I'M LOSTTTT!

I have CSS attached to a php page of which none of the CSS information gets printed. what I mean is that if we have a style "purple" which was used on the top sentence of the page, when you go to print that page, it still comes in black instead of the purple color for the purple CSS. What is worse, is that the tables that are setup and shaded for columns from the CSS style's come out without any color. It actually doesn't even print the outline borders of the table.

I have read several books on CSS. For the life of me I still cant understand why some things do the things they do.

For example, I still dont understand float. Even though I have read for literally hours about floats, I still dont understand why sometimes it goes one place and sometimes it goes another. Whenever I use tables, I feel as though I can place anything anywhere and know that it will always be there, regardless of the browser.

For example, yesterday I spent 30 minutes reading through a tutorial about css navigation in horizonal format. I did it successfully. However, I wanted it to be centered on the page. No matter what changes I made in the CSS for the list, ul, link, etc it would not center on the page. I spent another 45 minutes trying to get it to center on the page. Once I did (wrapped the list in a DIV) then I refreshed the page and the background, which is black was through the page horizontally to each of the nav links instead of a white background like the content portion of the page. A whole new headache. I fixed that by putting the div and nav list in a table with a white background (fixed).

I then check it in internet explorer and the list is not horizontal but vertical. It keep the same look of the nav list links, but is vertical. NOW I have to "hack" my CSS to make it more compliant with an older version of IE?

I just don't understand why so many people think CSS is superior to tables. I understand tables were never designed for, well, designing pages, but for whatever reason, maybe because I am old school, but I find them so much easier to work with. I can never get the outcome I want with CSS and when I do it hardly ever looks the same across multiple browsers.

I want to learn CSS. I want to understand why it is better. Most importantly I want to know how to code in it and if something looks wrong that I know the exact line in the CSS to work with to fix it. I am now just editing line by line to see if I get a change or outcome I want.

Any suggestions? Tutorials? This is driving me nuts.

i have just finished making a site for a collective of illustrators I belong to, and now I'm hearing back that some people are having trouble with it. It's at www.illustratorselbow.com (I'm not allowed to post a url without spaces!) & i'm hoping people might be able to have a look at it & view the source and help me out.

If you click on somebody's name, you see the thumbnails on the right and the image on the left. When you compress the window, the thumbnails jump about and shrink. I want to make it so this can't happen- I'd rather that the section with the main image in it compressed a bit, or would side-scroll. Any idea how to do this? I'm pretty new to CSS too so I don't really know how to fix this. It's just a drag because on computers with smaller screens/resolutions, the thumbnails look really messy.

(Bear in mind that I have extremely basic knowledge of html/css/php, i hand code rather than use dreamweaver etc, and I've never used php or css before this site. I started using it because I keep hearing that frames are bad news nowadays, but it's been sooo much trouble with my limited abilities... alas)

Hi,

I'm looking for some help with CSS, specifically "a:visitied".

I want the hover over behaviour to remain the same on html links regardless of whether or not they're already in your history.

Is there a way i can do this?

Many Thanks.

I have 3 horizontal sections of this site. The third section has a left & right column layout. In FF everything is beautiful of course. But in IE6 the left column is being pushed up into the 2nd section & the right column is hanging out by itself down below. You'll just have to look at it to see what I'm saying.

http://bradmcalister.com/clients/vi...t_simple/idea3/

I've tried several hacks that haven't worked. I've made the column widths smaller and that didn't work either. I'm stuck at this point. Please help.

Thanks,
Brad

The site in question is HERE

I discovered why Safari won't call the css but if I fix it then IE 7 won't call the css.

My solution...(The only solution that actually gets IE7 to call the css BTW and since I could get no help on it, I could find no other alternatives)...is this:

Code:

<head>
<!--[IF IE]>

<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href=" mystyles_ie.css ">
<style type="text/css">@import "mystyles_ie.css";</style>

<!--[end if]>

<link href="mystyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">@import "mystyles.css";</style>
</head>

This causes parsing errors with the validater but works in IE 7 and FF 2.0.

Does anyone have any clue what other hacks I could add to get Safari to render my page correctly? OR is there a real solution that would allow me to omit the first hack and get my page to render properly cross browser?

PS- I am really close to just putting a link to FF 2.0 on my page and tell people that if the tables are all jumbled and out of line then they need to get a REAL browser. lol

I noticed that googlebot is reading and indexing the content of the left sidebar and and not the center content (title of posts etc).

I have tried this fix:

Place the sidebar call after The Loop in your theme files and then use CSS to float your post content right or absolutely position your sidebar on the left.

Because the spider bots read the page markup from the top down. So if your left sidebar lies above your post content in the markup, the sidebar will be indexed first. If, on the other hand, your left sidebar appears below your post content in the markup but is positioned left by CSS, the bots will index your post content first.

It works when I float the center content to the right to the point where the sidebars are where they are supposed to be but they are pushed down a little from the top and it throws the page nav (bottom of center content) and the footer out of wack.

Real odd one here. Take a look at http://www.moxiegirlz.com/?section=moxiegirlz

Note that you can click on one of the characters at the bottom to see their info. But when you do so, the characters no longer get the "hand" pointer icon (in FF and Safari, haven't tested IE). I've tried applying cursor:pointer directly to the a tags, though one shouldn't need to, and still nada. Somehow, calling a jscript in the href is killing the hand pointer. Anyone know why?
