CSS - Ie Compatibility View Settings
Happy New Year!
I'm having issues with my website in progress, http://www.vilardojardim.com/about.html Everything seems to be displaying fine in Firefox, Safari and Explorer 8.0.6, but the IE 'Compatibility View Settings' makes the layout go all wiggy. Is there any way of automatically turning this off? Or, can someone help me out with a way to adjust the CSS to avoid the problem altogether? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Similar TutorialsI am working on a pop out menu on warrenhomes . The image displays properly in firefox and IE8, but the menu leaves are cut off in IE7 (or IE8 compatibility mode). pushing the list-style-position:inside; line isn't really helping either. Can someone tell me why ie7 is displaying list-style-image differently and possibly how I can correct this issue? Hi, I am using Dreamewaver CS4 and i noticed that when i view my page in live view or in the browser my background image doesnt show up. It does however in the split code/design view. Any help? Here is my Page Code Code:

font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;

/* Tips for absolutely positioned sidebars with header and footer:
1. Absolutely positioned (AP) elements must be given a top and side value, either right or left. (As a default, if no top value is given, the AP element will begin directly after the last element in the source order of the page. This means, if the sidebars are first element in the #container in the document's source order, they will appear at the top of the #container even without being given a top value. However, if they are moved later in the source order for any reason, they'll need a top value to appear where you desire.
2. Absolutely positioned (AP) elements are taken out of the flow of the document. This means the elements around them don't know they exist and don't account for them when taking up their proper space on the page. Thus, an AP div should only be used as a side column if you are sure the middle #mainContent div will always contain the most content. If either sidebar were to contain more content, that sidebar would run over the bottom of the parent div, and in this case the footer as well, and the sidebar would not appear to be contained.
3. If the above mentioned requirements are met, absolutely positioned sidebars can be an easy way to control the source order of the document.
4. If the source order is changed, the top value should be equal to the height of the header since this will cause the columns to visually meet the header.
*/
.thrColAbsHdr #header {
height: 60px; /* if you're changing the source order of the columns, you'll may want to use a height on the header so that you can give the columns a predictable top value */
background: #DDDDDD;

}
.thrColAbsHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
}

And here is the code for the style sheet that defines the background: Code:
body {background-image: url(images/background.png);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center;
background-color: #f7f4ee;}
I've got an image placed inside a div tag where the div is set to a height and width of 100%. The div has a "fixed" position with a "left" value set to "-36px", which ensure's it shows up exactly where I want it to. Everything that I setup in the style sheet works fine with Firefox 1.5x; the problem - big surprise - is that it doesn't work at all in IE6. Basically what's happening in IE is that the scroll bars are still showing up (which I don't want to happen) and it doesn't appear to be recognising the negative-positioning either. I'm just now learning to use div tags so there's probably some trick I haven't figured out yet. Here's the code I'm using. Code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body, html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #566f5f;
background-image: url(images/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
text-align: center;
}
#myTable {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: fixed;
left: -36px;
}
-->
</style>
</head>

<div id="myTable"><img src="images/picture.jpg" width="1071" height="738" border="0" usemap="#Map" />

As I mentioned, it works great in FF but not in IE. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be a massive help Thanks! I need to change some page setup setting for print like orientation, headers and footers Is it possible to define it in CSS. Hello Again, My new site design for www.everything.ie is finally coming together mostly due to the great help I've been getting here. The next little problem I need help with is this. Have a look here first: http://www.grahamvard.com/everything.html Look at the headings for the catagories (grey background with red writing). I'm trying to replicate them on my test site but can't quite get it right. Look here to see my attempts: http://www.eveythingfree.buildtolea...fieds/index.php It's basically alright but I want to make the grey headings boxes bigger so they occupy almost the full width of the 3 columns just like in the example page. Because this part of the page is controled by a php script which generates the text and layout, the only thing I can alter is the style sheet in this case the heading font, .cfmaincat Here's the piece of the .css that controls the heading: Code: .cfmaincat {
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
COLOR: #cc0000;
FONT-STYLE: normal;
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
background-color: #e9e9e9;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
I can't work out what I need to change to fix this, I really hope some of you can. I'm sure it's fairly straightforward, I just don't know what to do. I tried increasing the padding but because the length of words of the heading vary, so too do the grey boxes generated this way. I need them to be all the same size, like in the design example. Many Thanks, Robert Hello all! Is there a way to set a resolution % for a certain type of resolution size and any above that resolution to another specific % For example I want it to be: 1024x 768 : width : 90%; and anything higher than 1024x 768 to be 80% since 90% on a resolution higher than 1024 for my navigation is just too make of a banner. Please help/advice. Regards, Kingofqueens. Hi, I've been struggling for a long time now about how to create a CSS menu with opacity of whatever rating. If anyone can help me out by telling me how or a good code source place please please let me know. I found a software which costs a $139 and i really feel its not worth it. So if someone can please help me out. Thanks. I've found out that IE and Firefox both handle CSS page structure differently. I have a CSS container of width: 740px Height: 960px and IE prints the page with extra spaces at the top and bottom while this same setting is a bit short both width and height wise in Firefox. How do I compensate for both two browsers by using the same CSS file? I don't want to create different CSS for each browser. I have FF 2.0 and IE 7. However, I assumed many of my users will still be using IE6. Any help is appreciated. I have done my best to GOOGLE this problem but am not coming up with anything. I'm fairly certain that there is some setting/code that I need to add in CSS that would make this error go away. When I view my site in INTERNET EXPLORER, the main content box is shoved down almost below the sidebar/nav menu. The site works fine in FIREFOX & CHROME. I was hoping someone could help me. I have attached a picture of what it looks like in IE. Hi, I have the definition of the <body> tag in my external CSS file as follows: body { background:URL("fundo5.gif"); scrollbar-arrow-color: yellow; scrollbar-base-color: black; scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: yellow; scrollbar-track-color: green; scrollbar-face-color: blue; scrollbar-shadow-color: white; scrollbar-highlight-color: silver; scrollbar-3d-light-color: black; } However, this settings do get displayed on IE 6.0 Do I have to set any other properties so that I can change the colors of the scrollbar? thanks in advance Daniel I would like to know if anyone has done something like this - I need to have the look and feel of a site totally configurable through a web interface. All data is going to be stored in a database and I would like to know whether I can autogenerate or update a style sheet based on data from a database. Has anyone done this? Or is this the wrong approach to take in such a case? I also have several clients using the same site, each needing to have their own configurations. I would like to avoid having to have a separate style sheet for each client if possible. Can the properties in a stylesheet be set dynamically on a session per session basis? I am using wordpress for my blog/site. I am using Freshnews theme from woothemes as the theme for the blog. Here is the link: demo.woothemes.com/freshnews The font is not that good and it is way too small and the spacing is bad (too congested). How do I change the fonts, size, spacing (line and paragraph) throughout the blog. I know I would have to change it somewhere in the stylesheet. But where exactly and how? And what are the ways to get this done? Should I install a font somewhere? Should I use webfonts (like google webfonts)? What is the advantage in using this? or what are the other ways? i have images, but i have this Code: * a {
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:bold;
color:#665637;
}
* a:hover {
color:#B39760;
border-top-style: double;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-top-color: #665637;
}
and my anchored images take on the hover property. how can i stop them from doing this and just stay as they were? Hi All, I'm new to the forum. My website's Index page is losing all my body font and color settings, though layout is correct. All of the subfolders' index pages and other pages throughout my website remain unaffected. I've sanity checked it all, and it validates OK. I have an email in to the webhost for some input, but I hoped to get some advice from other CSS-ers who might be in the know. My website is: NickiGreenwood.com I am a romance author and sideline-web-design-junkie. Any help, advice, or even a point in the right direction would be a huge, huge help. Thanks, all. Nicki Greenwood - Romance Author I just finished a layout using CSS and I'm aware that browsers 4.0 and earlier (or is it 3.0 and earlier?) won't be able to display it right. However, I also know that the browsers that do support CSS don't all display it the exact same way. I tested my layout using Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla 1.6. I had to make a few changes to get Mozilla to display it close to what I intended. My question: which other browsers and versions should I test it on? I have always encountered problems trying to get my sites to work in IE6, mainly because it renders the margins as 2x the "right value". However I am curious: How does deliciousdays.com work perfectly in IE6 without using if IE6 conditional tag? I am making a site and this would be very useful. I try not to use the if IE6 conditional tag hack if possible. Okay I have this website www.deminyx.com and It looks decent in Google Chrome but stupid in IE my #content div is in a different place, can anyone help me clean up my code. I validated the HTML and CSS with the w3c validator too! UGHH lol!

A friend told me that css websites are sometimes displayed wrong with some browsers; the tables are out of place etc. Is this true? are there any issues with certain sites? Is css the best way to design an html site now a days? Sorry im a newbie in this, Im going to start learning soon. Thanks !!! http://www.sphinxgaming.com/OpportunIT/?page=home In any browser except IE6 the footer floats just above the bottom of the page, but in IE6 it goes WAY down.
