CSS - Ie6 & Ie7 Float Clearing Issue

It's a site I'm starting to build. For whatever reason, in firefox, the navigation menu is on the left side of the screen and the form is on the right side. In IE, the desired behavior I want (nav bar on top, form underneath) is there.

Although I know how IE is and there might be something wrong with my code. Everything validates...

The navigation menu is wrapped in a div, so I would expect the div to auto-clear since it should be expanding to 100% width. But that doesn't seem to be happening for some reason...can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks.

I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck.

I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail. You can see the page he http://yourthreshold.com/playground/ It seems to clear in Firefox but not in IE ..

The main CSS:

Code:

* {
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
}

body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
background-color:#e5e5e5;
}

#wrapper {
width: 640px;
height: 720px;
margin-left:0;
margin-top:0;
border: 2px solid gray;
border-bottom: 0px solid gray;
background-image:url(../images/banner.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:#c0c0c0;
float:left;
}

	#navigation {

if you check this page it's fine in firefox
if you check this page in I.E. the tab on the left hand side actually sits on top of the layout. I'm trying to get it to fit snug. I'm not sure why this is happening.

Hi Guys,

Ive got a serious'ish error on a site im responsible for and with it being the period between christmas and new years I cant find anyone to help me.

So im coming asking for help with an IE6 error which is occuring on http://social.eyeforpharma.com/

It appears fine in every browser apart from IE6. IE7, FF, Safari etc work fine.

With no decent debug tools for IE6 available im stuck.

Help REALLY appreciated.

Kevin.

Edit - The error gets worse when you go to view an article.

hello. i am making a small, rough bar graph on the left side of my page. when i try it, the bar ends up going to a new line. what i'd like to do is have a colored div fill up 80% or 100% of the rest of the space to the right of the key.

here is the code:

Code:

<div class="bar_graph">
	<div class="key">signed: 8,000</div>
	<div class="bar signed" style="width: 80%">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

...

.signatures {
	margin-top: 20px;
}

.signatures .bar_graph {
	overflow: auto;
	margin-top: 2px;
}

.signatures .key {
	float: left;
	font-size: 8px;
	text-align: right;
	width: 40px;
}

.signatures .bar {
	float: left;
	height: 17px;
}

.signatures .signed {
	background: #f3b400;
}

.signatures .goal {
	width: 100%;
	background: #e58728;
}

Hello

i would like to know if there is any hacks or tips to resolve problem in IE6's rendering of Floated Boxes? It seems IE6 add extra padding or margin to some floated element, specially those near the borders of container... How do i get around this?

Having one last problem before the site goes beta live...

I have rounded divs, and inside is a floated left menu element. If something in the menu expands the round corners pop out of place rather then shift down. Im not sure what to chage.

The site is: adventurevalley.ca/jason/programs/prgSwim.cfm

If you mouse over the birthday parties link you will see what I mean (IE7 issue).

Thanks a mill!

I have a section of 3 divs, 1 floated to the left, one to the right and one in the middle.

IE 7 & Firefox are fine however in IE 6 it seems to display the left and right columns as a block pushing the middle column down to the bottom.

see screenshot, the image is the middle div while the white side parts are the left and right columns.

My code is as follows:

CSS Code:
Original - CSS Code #headerLeft { float: left; background-image: url('/media/images/040708_05.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 20px; height: 323px; } #headerRight { float: right; background-image: url('/media/images/040708_07.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 20px; height: 323px; } #flashMovie { background-color: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; width: 730px; }

  

  


 #headerLeft {


     float: left;


     background-image: url('/media/images/040708_05.jpg');


     background-repeat: no-repeat;


     width: 20px;


     height: 323px;


 }


 #headerRight {


     float: right;


     background-image: url('/media/images/040708_07.jpg');


     background-repeat: no-repeat;


     width: 20px;


     height: 323px;


 }


 #flashMovie {


     background-color: #FFFFFF;


     margin-left: 20px;


     margin-right: 20px; 


     width: 730px;


 } 

heys all, im having an issue with text that is variable length.

i want to float something in the bottom right corner of some text. that something which is floated should have a width of 100px and height of 100px.

so for example

text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE
text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE
text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE

now the sample text above can be 1 line, or 100 lines. anyone have any ideas? i've been hammering away at this too long

Thanks.

Heys,

I have the following code:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid red;">
<div style="width: 200px; border: 1px solid green; float: left;">-</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

In FF and IE7 it works the way I'm desiring; specifically, the child div (width: 200px is contained inside a box, however it breaks outside of it due to the width.

|||||||||
|||||||||
||||||||||||
||||||||||||
|||||||||
|||||||||

That's how it should look; but I can't replicate it in IE6.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This page works fine in Firefox, but in IE, the float makes the content move off the page to the left. I figured out that without a background-color applied to the .textBox style (which is the DIV that contains the text and image I am floating) it works. However, I really would like the .textBox to have a background color. Anybody knows what to do?

Here is the page:

many thanks,

I seem to have an issue with the float parameter in Firefox.

If you look at the following URL in IE, it should display fine, but in firefox the container doesn't expand to hold the div's within, as they're floated. I've seen other people use floats just fine in firefox, but it doesnt' seem to work for me..

Any help is appreciated

Thanks!

In this header www.johnschureman.com

I have an image, an h1 and a subtitle div.

Code:

<div id="header">
<img src="../images/jschu-crop150h.jpg">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" >:<?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
	<div id="subtitle">
		<!-- Here's the tagline  -->
		<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
	</div>
</div>

I cannot figure out in my css how to make the subtitle appear below the h1.

Code:

#header {
	margin:0; 
	padding:0;
	height:170px;
	padding: 0px;	
	margin-top: 3px;
/*	padding-top:110px;
	padding-bottom:10px;
	padding-right:20px;
	padding-left:5px;*/
	border-bottom: 1px solid #bab1b1;
	background: #404040;
}
#header img {
	float:left;
	display:inline; 
	margin: 0 auto;	
	padding: 10px 10px;
	border:none;
	}
#header h1{
	display: inline;
	float:right;
	padding:0px;
	margin: 0px;
	padding-top:100px;
	margin-bottom:3px;
	margin-right: 5px;
	font-size: 2.4em;
	letter-spacing:0.1em;
}

#subtitle {
	text-align:right;
	font-family:"Century Gothic", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	margin-bottom:3px;
	margin-right: 5px;
	font-size: 0.9em;
	text-transform:uppercase;
	color:#bbb;
}

Hope this is enough info. I've been playing with clear, position, etc. Help? Thanks in advance.

Please look at this page -
http://www.eagletransmission.net/testimonials.asp

In IE7 I have the main navigation alignment as I want it to be. BUt in Firefox the links do not align correctly. For example please look at the link for Affiliates. In Firefox it is pushed to the right instead of centered where it should be.

Thanks.

Hey all,

I am just starting to develop a new site for my web design company, though i'm doing it in mac os x env using camino, so to my horror, when i finally got around to checking it in IE, I discovered that everything was horribly wrong. All of the div's that were supposed to be floated left are now overlapping the right float. I've read a few articles which all suggest different things, i.e. putting 'display: inline' in all the float styles. That didn't work.

I don't have the time to figure it all out though I'm sure it's a simpleish solution. I'd really appreciate the help.
