CSS - Span / Div Inside A Button Tag? Ie8 Whoa's
Greetings,
I am guessing I am "doing it wrong" but I am trying to get a dynamic double background for a button and it works fine in FF but not IE8. When rendered in IE8, the 2nd div wraps under the first, no matter what I have tried. Span's don't work either. If I nest the verbiage in the icon div, ie8 reads the width from the image and make the button too small. Code: <div class="btnContainer flLeft"> <button type="submit"> <div class="flLeft imgLogin typeIcon"></div> <div class="flLeft boldText">Search</div> </button> </div> I believe it's unusual to nest divs/spans inside a button, but I would really like to be able to do this since it matches most of my other links. Is there a better way for me to do this? css: Code:
button {
-moz-border-radius:4px 4px 4px 4px;
outline: 1;
border: 1px solid #c4c4c4;
background: #ccc url(/includes/images/sys/btn_bkg1.png) repeat-x;
color: #444444;
margin: 0 0 0 2px;
padding: 2px 14px 2px 2px;
}
.imgLogin {
background: url(/includes/images/sys/key.png) no-repeat;
height: 16px;
width: 16px;
}
.typeIcon {
padding-right: 5px;
}
.flRight { float: right; }
.flLeft { float: left; }
Similar TutorialsWhen clicking on the image in code below the link is not working in IE (6.0), works fine in FF and OP. The odd thing is that in IE when you right-click the image you can open the link by selecting "Open link" or "Open link in new window". So the link is there for IE as well, but not working when clicking on the image. Why is it so. Workaround needed... Any fix for this without having to remove my SPAN tags? The HTML also validates without any errors.

If I apply padding to a span then the padding is flowing outside the td (above and below the borders of the td). Why does that happen and is there a way to make the td to autogrow to fit all the span's inside? Se example code below Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:300px; margin-top:50px;"> <tr> <td style="background-color:gray; text-align:center; border:1px solid black;"> <span style="margin-right:20px;">First</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">1</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">2</span> <span style="margin-right:20px; background-color:orange; padding:10px;">3</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">4</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">5</span> <span style="">Last</span> </td> </tr> </table> ******* UPDATE ******* I found this link today: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FormattingContexts which says (among other things): ************************* Only one thing impacts the vertical space between inline elements: the line height. Normally, the line height is based upon the line height for the text in that line, or the height/padding/border/margin of any replaced items. The element on a line with the largest line height or replaced height is the one to define the vertical space that line takes up. Height, padding, border or margins on text do not impact the line height or the container height. Instead, borders, padding and margins overlap from line to line. If you want to give an inline text element some padding and border, make sure you give it some extra line height, too, or else it will overlap with whatever else is above or below it. ************************* So does that rule mean that I have no way to make my TD autogrow in relation to the padding applied to the SPAN in the example above? Is there any working workarounds for this...? Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code. Code: <html><body><center><br><br> Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br> If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br> NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br> In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;"> <span style="display:block; float:left"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0"> </span> <span style="display: block; color: white;"> Text here. </span> </span> </td></tr></table> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left"> Text here. </span> </td></tr></table> </center></body></html> Hi, I am currently trying to produce a website using CSS style sheets. I have used 'span' to position and align blocks of text on the page. All looks well, but when I try and validate the page I get an error message that says the <p> and <ol> tags cannot be used within <span> tags. Can anyone suggest anyway round this? Many thanks x Hi, Code: <tr><td colspan="2" height="5"></td></tr> <tr><td width="30%" align="right">City</td><td>This is supposed to be some content</td></tr> How do I imitate structure of the table above. In the example below the text between <span> if too long ends up on new line below <label> How do I make sure that it stay on right side? Code: <div><label>City</label><span>This is supposed to be some content when too long appears below span not below label</span></div> Thank you. hi, i have a chunk of dynamic text coming in. it can have html links in it. so something like: 'blah blah blah <a href="site">link text</a> blah blah' im trying to stylize the dynamic text with CSS. i can get the font size and everything to work but i can't get the link text to behave like i want it to. here's what i have: PHP Code: //the css class .articleDesc { font-family: verdana, arial, geneva, sans serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: none; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; } //trying to make all links red, doesn't work a.articleDesc { color: #FF0000; } //php print '<span class="articleDesc">' . $dynText . '</span>'; the links just come out default, ie. blue and purple... anyone know what's wrong here? Why is this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'> RECENT BLOGS </span> </div> different than this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'>RECENT BLOGS</span> </div> Why is IE7 adding its own padding when i don't add a nl between the span and the content within the span? It's the display:block issue that also happens with images. But I just can't understand why IE7 would add spacing there, the 2 above are almost identical. I'm a novice with CSS and HTML so the following may seem elementary to most of you. I'm a retail vitamin store owner with a website, (URL address blocked: See forum rules) . We do very well with our store front and are getting better and better with our online discount vitamin store. Our web master has programmed our site so we can easily insert new products. This is done in the <body>. Recently I've wanted to add some spice with color and formatting . At first I was doing this with something like <FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial" size="4" color="006600">. But now as I get into CSS and double checking all code with W3.org, it doesn't like this approach. Now I'm trying <span id="enzymatic" class="prod_description"> in the <body> with span#enzymatic p { color: green; } span#enzymatic h4{ color: blue; } etc. in a CSS definition file. It all works well, but W3.org still doesn't like where I've inserted the code. If you go to our page: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)=country-life-seniority-multivitamin You will get among other "errors" the following message: <h4>Seniority ™ Multi-Vitamin Capsules </h4> The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). Any hints as to what basic rules I'm breaking? Be kind. Many thanks, healthyphil I am creating a page where I will list OS names, and when I mouse over the name I would like to display the versions in the database for the corresponding name. The problem I am having is that I'm trying to use span to display the versions but I keep getting a document.all.menu1.style is null or not an object. Here is my code. I don't seewhere it's not working since I got this code from a tutorial and the tutorial code works just fine. <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> #menu1 { display : none } A:link {color:black; text-decoration:none} A:hover {color:blue; text-decoration:underline} </STYLE> <td bgcolor="#DCEBEB"> <SPAN onMouseOver="document.all.menu1.style.display = 'block'" onMouseOut="document.all.menu1.style.display = 'block'"> <img src="../../images/plus.gif">AIX<br> </SPAN> <SPAN ID="menu1" onClick="document.all.menu1.style.display = 'none'"> <img src="../../images/minus.gif"><a href="http://www.test.com">Testing 1</a><br> <img src="../../images/minus.gif"><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Testing 2</a><br> <img src="../../images/minus.gif"><a href="http://www.cnn.com">Testing 3</a> </SPAN></td> Hi everyone. I would like to change the first letter of an h2 tag thats NOT in a span in the following chunk of code Code: <h2> <span class="subtleHeader">Saskatoon, Regina and Edmonton's</span><br> WEB DESIGN EXPERTS </h2> So in this example I want to change the W. yes I can change the dom, but I'm very very lazy and have this DOM structure in many places and was wondering if there was a css way to do it. Thanks I am trying to make tooltips, using PHP code inside <span>. Is there possibility to control the position in <style>, to avoid possibility for the box (tooltip), not to be completely visible, I mean, when the word that has to be described is at the right bottom of the window, box will change it's position and will be placed at the upper and left position. The box would have to be placed at the position it can have to be readable. Hello, Well this is a very simple question ... how can Iset the width of a span from CSS? Basically I tried setting the span with from CSS however the span size remained wrapped to the text inside rather then taking the width I desire. I check some interent forums, and found out that if I set the float:left the width is taken, but my span is no longer is place! is there a way to set the span width without having to set thr float:left option? thanks and regards, Sim085 I'm wondering is is it possible to have a <div> tag where a left <span> can stick to the left and a right <span> to stick to the right.

Edit: Can't make the ASCII text work here..... I am a 3week knewb to css. I was wondering if anyone could explain to me when I would use: div or display:block div or span span or display:inline thank you Hi, there. I've created a simple 2-column list using a <span> to justify items I want in the right column to the right edge of the containing <div>... everything is working fine in Firefox, but have just noticed that Internet Explorer is punching all the spans down one line. I thought spans were purely inline, so this is a little confusing! Here's the CSS I'm using: Code:
#300px-LIST {
width:300px;
margin:0px auto;
text-align:left;
padding:0;
}
.right {
float: right;
}
...and the HTML: Code: <div id="300px-LIST"> LINE 1 LEFT<span class="right">LINE 1 RIGHT</span><br /> LINE 2 LEFT<span class="right">LINE 2 RIGHT</span><br /> LINE 3 LEFT<span class="right">LINE 3 RIGHT</span><br /> </div> Any pointers gratefully received! (alas, it's the old problem: works in Firefox, Netscape and Safari ... but not MS IE) I'm attempting to build a series of words with a button-appearance created using span to specify background color and borders and margins. The code checks out at the w3.org validators. In the first 3 browsers it loooks exactly as intended. but in MS IE (v 5.2 Mac) it is completely screwed up: - line is left justified - individual words are right justified - most of the cells are blank - all cells run together (in fact they seem to be overlapped since one cannpt even guess which cell links to what other page) relevant HTML: <div style="text-align:center;"> <p> <span class="buttons"><a href="aboutDG.php">About the Gypsy</a> </span> <span class="buttons"><a href="eventFinder.php" >Find Events</a> </span> ... <span class="buttons"><a href="helpDG.php" >Help</a></span> <span class="buttons"><a href="http://www.thedancegypsy.com/" >Home</a></span> </p> </div> and the relevant css is: .buttons { background-color: #66FFFF; color: #FF6600; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; padding: 3px; margin-right: 2px; font: bolder smaller medium Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border: #3399FF; border-style: solid; border-width: 2px; white-space: nowrap; } url: www.thedancegypsy.com/indexBeta.php thanx in advance for any help 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. Hi all I am trying to take a link's ability to link away from a link by converting it to normal text ie, I am working on pagination for my blog and the navigation looks like this << Prev | 1-5 | 6-10 | Next>> its all done in php that i got from a book, but anyway, the script references a span class="inactive" so that when you are viewing 1-5 both the << Prev and 1-5 links are grayed out, since there is page previous to the page that displays 1-5 there is no need for that to be a link, nor is there a need for 1-5 to be a link since we are already there what i need is the style that would remove the linking property of those links and i got no ideas, Im bad in php and even worse in css Thanks in advance Why doesn't the class applied to the span tag do anything? Code:
