CSS - Ie Margins On Ul Vanish When You Text Zoom The Page
I've got a real head-scratcher that I cannot find a solution for. The webpage I am talking about is he
http://test.ecofreshusa.com/Company.aspx If you see the "breadcrumb-like" submenu (the grey one) in IE, zooming at 100% looks fine, but when you hit Ctrl+ or Ctrl- to text zoom, the margins between every line item (its made using an unordered list).. fall out and the text loses all spacing. Does anyone know where I went wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.. Oh and heres the CSS im using to work with this menu. Code: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #breadcrumb { position: relative; left:0px; top:0px; width:860px; vertical-align: middle; height: auto !important; background: #F0f0f0; margin-top: 0px; display: inline; } #breadcrumb_left { position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:660px; height:20px; background-color: #f0f0f0; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; border-top: 1px solid #f0f0f0; z-index: 10; } #breadcrumb_right { position:absolute; float: right; left:660px; top:0px; width:200px; height:20px; background-color: #F0F0F0; border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; border-top: 1px solid #f0f0f0; z-index: 10; } div.crumbs { margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; float: left; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, San-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #999999; } b.crumb_title { font-family: Helvetica, Arial, San-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #999999;} .crumbs span { display: block; } .crumbs ul { display: inline; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; } .crumbs ul li { background: none; display: inline !important; margin: 0; margin-left: 20px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, San-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #999999; line-height: 20px; } .crumbs a:link { color: #0078C2; text-decoration: none; } .crumbs a:visited { color: #0078C2; text-decoration: none; } .crumbs a:hover { color: #629D34; text-decoration:underline; } .crumbs a:active { color: #629D34; text-decoration:underline; } .crumbs img { float: none; width: 8px; height: 5px; border: 0; margin: 7px 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0; } --> </style> Similar TutorialsHi, i have a styling problem. The page looks well in normal view in IE and firefox but when you zoom in the page (Ctrl++) the menu bar part of the page gets displaced from its position (right and left corner). your help and guidance wil be much appreciated. The page is at dev.cddimensions. com . Plz try to zoom in and notice the menu bar. Hi all, I'm fairly new to CSS and this is one of my first attempts at a somewhat complicated layout. The page looks OK in FF, IE 7, Safari, and Opera, but if I zoom in or out while in FF or IE, it breaks the layout by increasing the width between some of the cube divs. Is there any way to fix this?

I figured out how to put the text on top of my background Div tag image from a previous post, but this has now shown me another problem. I now need the text to be on top of the white shape only, and not spill onto the gray area. If I remember correctly (I don't have the .ai file any more) the white area is about 500px in width. But whenever I adjust the margins to reflect this, the right side just will not comply. I'll post the two div classes' code below and maybe someone can lend me a hand. Code: #mainContent { background-color:transparent; background-image:url((URL address blocked: See forum rules)); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-attachment:scroll; background-position:0% 0%; height:610px; margin: 10px; margin-right: 1cm; overflow:auto; padding-top: 1cm; padding-left: .6cm; width:550px; } #mainContentWrapper { float:left; margin-right:11px; min-height:100%; width:550px; } In Internet Explorer 6, the following HTML and CSS with negative margins causes the first letter of the heading to disappear: Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css" media=screen> #siteBody { position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 100px; width: 700px; margin-left: 2em; } h1 { margin-left: -1em; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="siteBody"> <h1>This is the heading</h1> <p> This is the content. </p> </div> </body> </html> There are ways to get the negative margin to work in IE properly, but at a loss of functionality. For instance, if I remove the width property from the siteBody CSS, and change the position to 'relative', the letter will appear. Also, if I remove the div and just place the 'siteBody' id on the body tag, then the first letter will appear. Any help is greatly appreciated as I've been searching for a solution for a couple of days now. Thanks, ---atomgiant Does anybody know what the css attributes would look like for the right margin divs like (e.g. #smr-00) found in this tutorial? (see link) css.image.text.wrap.tutorial.htm I want to make a schedule using a single column (unless that really doesn't make sense). There is an image for the date on the left and then i want all of the days events in chronological order on the right of the image. How do I make the text always indented correctly? I know thats confusing. I want it to look like this: http://www.kdpatton.com/cosmopolis/program.htm well the first entries at least. I am using PHP to generate labels and I want to print them. I am wondering if anyone could help me learn how to set the page margins? By default it looks to be printing 30px or so margins. The label sheets I am using have margins of about 5-10px. I was thinking to set margins would be something like this: Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; } </style> but that does not seem to work, any help out there? Thanks! Hi! Could some experienced CSS developer please confirm this: All paddings, and right and left margins, always combine (what I mean is if you have a left object with a 5px right margin and a right object with a 5px left margin, the distance between the two will be 10px). However, bottom & top margins never combine. Is all this true? Hello, I'm new to CSS. I've been developing a website in PHP. I have a report that is meant to be printed. It is formated for printing. However, if the user doesn't have his/her browser print page margins set to a max of 0.25in then some of the printed area will get clipped off. Can CSS be used to control these margins on the page? I've been looking into this and have been lead to the media = "print" area. However, it only seems to be controling the webpage's body margins and not the browser's print page setup margins. I've gotten to the point of using the following style code on my page, but now I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style1 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; } body,td,th { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; } body { margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 15px; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .style4 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; } .style15 {font-size: 10pt} .style21 {font-size: 18pt} .style24 {font-size: 24pt} .style25 {font-size: 16pt} .style28 {font-size: 12pt} --> </style> <link href="file:///C|/Webs/ures/k058_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <style type="text/css" media="print"> <!-- .style19 {font-size: 14pt} .style29 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; } .style22 {font-size: 9pt} .style23 {font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;} .styleprint { margin: 0in 0in 0in 0in; margin-top: 0in; margin-left: 0in; } --> </style> I added the ".styleprint" style to the page only to try and control the browser's print page setup margins. What you see above are actually two attempts to do this. Like I said above the margin settings seem to only be contoling the margins on the displayed page and not the browser's print page setup margins. How can I control the browser's print page setup margins? CAN I control the browser's print page setup margins? If I cannot, what do you do to make sure that the user can print a "printer formated" page with the correct margins? Thanks, Paul I am having a problem where I have a <div> that holds my body image, margin: 0 auto; Inside that is my content <div> with margin:15px; but this is visually dropping the background image's margin by 15px. The problem compounds every time I add another margin/padding requirement into the rest of the <div>. Code: html, body { margin:0px; padding:0px; background-image:url(images/interface/background.png); } #body_image { width:935; margin:0 auto; padding:0px; background-image:url(images/interface/body.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; } #container { width:904px; height:750px; margin:15px; } #slug { height:15px; } Code: <div id="body_image"> <div id="container"> <div id="header">Header</div> <div id="nav">Nav</div> <div id="sidebar">Sidebar</div> <div id="content">Content</div> <div id="footer">Footer</div> </div> </div> The extent of my CSS is a few tutorials online and the class I took 10 years ago where the teacher said "Here's CSS, you can't do much more than change your font size and color with it... on to tables!" Thought it'd only be fair to give you a little background. Hi All, This seems to be a bit of a recurring problem for me in a lot of the new CSS designs I'm trying... but it seems that IE interprets both padding and margins differently than how firefox interprets them. Sometimes it seems to do it the same, and other times differently. Take a look at this: http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/index.html CSS he http://zeroonedesign.com/beta/newsite/style.css Now look at it first in Firefox (the desired effect) and then in IE. IE seems to be incapable of understanding this particular piece of the code Code: #menu {padding-top:140px;text-align:left;padding-left:38px;} #menu ul{margin:0px;} #menu ul li{display:inline;margin-right:10px;padding:5px 7px 5px 7px;color:#fff;} #menu ul li a{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:none;} #menu ul li a:hover{color:#fff;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:3px solid #fff;} #menu ul li a.selected{color:#f88000;font-size:10pt;border-bottom:2px solid #f88000;} Ideas? Help? I know the box model is different for IE than it is for FF but I've tried the box model hack and it doesn't seem to do anything. ok in my site I have set the header and the menu as absolute because I want the header to go over the container and the menu to go over the header but my problem is that when I zoom in or out my header and menu move position to the left is there a way to make them not move their position but still have them one on top of the other this is my site for now (it's my course at uni and I have to include all those pages in it) http://padrewa.comeze.com this is my css code for: Code: body { background-color: #FFF; } #wrapper { background-color: #FFF; } #header { * border:#999 0px solid; position: absolute; opacity: 0.50; filter:alpha(opacity=50); } #menu { * border:#999 0px solid; position:absolute; padding-top:80px; padding-left:180px; } #content { border:#999 0px solid; background-color:#FFFF99; width:1050px; padding-top:110px; padding-bottom:70px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #footer { border:#999 0px solid; background-color:#FFFF99; width:1050px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } and this is my header template I included it in my page using php: Code: <div id="header"><table> <tr> <td><a href="index.php"><img src="style/logo.jpg" alt="Logo" height="100" /></a></td> </tr> </table> </div> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <div id="menu" > <a href="index.php"><b>Home Page</b></a> <a href="gallery.php"><b>Gallery</b></a> <a href="biography.php"><b>Biography</b></a> <a href="draw.php"><b>Draw</b></a> <a href="write.php"><b>Write</b></a> <a href="contact.php"><b>Contact Me</b></a> </div> The following is how I have always done my navigation. But in IE7 when I zoom above 100% the links seem to squash up and the hit area move away from the link! You can see this at www.stephaniedubois.co.uk What can I do to stop this?

I've trimmed down my website in order to solve a persistent issue plaguing my layout. This issue involves what happens when using browser zoom: columns widths are recalculated incorrectly, and the right background is marred with a vertical line. Additionally, the main nav buttons fluctuate in size too. Extra space is visible to the right of the nav bar. I'm assuming this is happening because I've used exact pixel dimensions. I'm willing to change that, as long as the basic appearance of the layout can be achieved some other way. My code is fairly long, and several key images are critical to layout. I think the best way to share this would be through a link...Any help is appreciated, and I'd be very grateful! Thanks in advance. EDIT: Thanks to E-Oreo for the link tip. stuartletizia.com SLASH skinned SLASH index.html EDIT: I'm working in 1680 x 1050 on Windows 7, testing with Firefox 6.0.2, Chrome 13.0.782.220, IE 8, and Safari 5.1. Hello. I am building a site (perelachaisecemetery dot com)for a friend of my bosses. And I'm having problems with Safari on Mac Zoom Feature. When I zoom out my Nav Menu at the top (as well as my copyright at the bottom) get broken up into two lines. A windows safari user said this is not happening in his browser. It does not happen in Firefox. But it is happening in Chrome. Can anyone recommend anything? Is it something I can code not to happen or is it a individual browser preference thing. Please help. Thanks, Colin Even when I zoom out to the least point, I want my background image in my webpage to stay normal size. How do I do this? according to the css 2.1 spec if you specify the margin/padding of an element in ems then it takes the measurement from that element's font size, this means that * { font size: 1em; } h1 { font-size: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; } gives h1 a margin of ... 1.5em ... which sucks. and is counter intuitive IMO. how is one supposed to go about having fixed margin spaces when using scalable fonts? now i know that margins overlap so theoretically setting p { margin-top: 1em; } instead would work, but only where a p lies under a h1. if i had a h1 then a h2 then a p then how large would the gap be between the h1 and the h2? and how would i control that reliably? the only way around this i can think of is this * { font-size: 1em; /*let's say this equates to 10px on the device it's being viewed on*/ } h1 { font-size: 1.5em; /*...then this would be 15px*/ margin-bottom 0.67em; /*..this would be 67% of 15px = 10px!*/ } h2 { font-size: 1.2em; /*12px*/ margin-bottom: 0.83em; /*83% of 12px = ... 10px!*/ } p { margin-botton: 1em; } Now, when i scale the font size all the margins should scale in accordance with the <p>. at least, according to my understanding of the spec. i'll try it in the next couple of hours (first thing monday morning just got to work)... anyone else thought of a scalable friendly alternative? Hi All, I am very new to CSS and i am working on preparing a document of an existing CSS. Can someone tell me if the margins are set as this, margin:0px 31px 0px; Is it top,right and bottom? Thanks Prena I am having a problem with negative margins in IE7. On my website: commentsandcapers I am trying to get IE7 to display the right two boxes in the same way that Firefox displays them?? I have tried a few thing including position: relative in a whole bunch of places, none of which works. Do any of you have any idea how to correct this problem? Thanks! Hello, I have the following issue. I need to create a full screen gray div with another white div inside it, positioned with 5 pixel margin. Basically it looks like a white div with 5px border around it. That wouldn't be a problem after i set body and html height to 100%, but here's what breaks: i add the first gray div (relatively positioned) and make it's min-height: 100%, then add lots of text and see if it autoexpands. It does! Now i add another absolutely positioned white div inside of it and set its position to 5px from each side. And now everything breaks ... doesn't autoexpand ... at least in opera. Here's the css: Code: body, html { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #maindiv { position: relative; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; min-height: 100%; background: #777777; } #fullscr { position: absolute; left: 5px; top: 5px; bottom: 5px; right: 5px; background: #FFFFFF; } <div id="maindiv"><div id="fullscr"> lots of text with linebreaks </div></div> Does anyone have any ideas how to make it work? |
