CSS - Word-spacing

I have a drop down menu that works great in Chrome but in IE 9 I am getting spaces between my images for my navigation bar. My HTML is as follows...

HTML
Code:

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/home_btn.jpg" width="77" height="29" border="0" /></a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">About Asthma</a></li>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Treatment</a></li>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Taking Control</a></li>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Lifestyle</a></li>
<li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Resources & Support</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li><img src="../../images/global/header/spacer01.jpg" width="17" height="29" border="0" /></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/kids_btn.jpg" width="66" height="29" border="0" /></a></li>
<li><img src="../../images/global/header/spacer01.jpg" width="17" height="29" border="0" /></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/allergy_btn.jpg" width="67" height="29" border="0" /></a></li>
<li><img src="../../images/global/header/spacer01.jpg" width="17" height="29" border="0" /></li>
</ul></li></ul>

I have tried everything in my CSS to eliminate the spacing between the image files with no luck. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong here?

Hi Guys

I am having trouble trying to work out a bug that is creating a space between two div containers. To see what i mean click here for web page the css can be viewed here

in firefox the two containers appear correctly but in internet explorer there is a 10px space between them.

Could it have something to do with the background images? The div containing the login form also drops down in ie and i am convinced this is related to the main problem i am facing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is.

Any help would be much appreciated!

This is starting to bug me this problem, but on my site www.readinginfo.co.uk the background image (inner shadow and small gradient) at the top is playing up. It doesn't seem to want to align all the way over to the left, however as is always the way, it is working in firefox, ie7, 8 and safari. I've tried some of the ie6 fixes mentioned but I have the sneakiest of feelings that it is to do with the form element (the search box), positioning absolutely just bumps it over to the side. Thanks in advance for any reply!!

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

The contents in my .ContentContainer are positioned differently in IE6 and FF. I want them to look like FF. What is wrong with my CSS that makes IE6 have more space on the left side of the green globe than FF?

My goal is to have the 2 blue vertical lines line up. They line up in FF and IE7, but not in IE6.

how i do that again?

Hey all! I'm having a major word-wrap issue in IE and it's driving me bonkers. I've tried to research it, but couldn't find anything. Most of the problems people have with word-wrap are in FF, but I'm having noooo problems with it FF.

I have a left nav for the site I'm building and I'm forcing a word break at 125px. In FF and IE, it forces the word break just fine. However, in IE, it also bumps out the width of the above div tag to what the width would be if the tag wasn't forced to break. It looks like all the div tags are the correct width, but the #col1 td tag won't allow a max-width. That's what I'm thinking anyway.

Here's how it is in IE (ignore the borders):

Here's how it's supposed to look (again, ignore the borders):
http://www.abellefeuille.com/mg/Untitled-3-FF.gif

Here's the code:

CSS:
Code:

#col1{width:148px;
      vertical-align:top;
      color:#666666;
      font-size:12px;
      padding-top:20px;
      padding-bottom:20px;
}

.view_ln{max-width:125px;color:#333333;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;padding:2px 0px 2px 0px;}
.view_ln h1{word-wrap:break-word;}

HTML:
Code:

<td id="col1" style="border:1px solid green;">
                            <!-- viewing -->
                            <div id="view" style="border:1px solid blue;">
                                <div class="ln-title">Viewing</div>
                                <div id="ln_keyword" class="view_ln">
                                    <span class="line">Activity:</span><br/>
<h1>ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppa</h1> <a href="" class="x-search">(<span>x</span>)</a>
                                </div>
                                <div id="ln_brnd" class="view_ln">
                                    <span class="line">Brand:</span><br/>
                                    <h1>Marmot</h1> <a href="" class="x-search">(<span>x</span>)</a>
                                </div></td>

Any advice will be most appreciated. THANKS!!

Can CSS select the first word in a Div? If so how?

Example: first word in a pharagraph.

is there another way to make text wrap and not expand the div? i.e a div 200px wide expands if too much text is put in the box. On other websites I have seen this happening and looked at the code but I couldn't see anything I wasn't doing? The only way I can fix it is by adding this to the css:

word-wrap: break-word;

surely there is another way???
This isn't a problem I just am interested to find out how else you can do it because I can't work out how else you can do it

thanks

I have a div using width
Code:

			div.contain {
				width:200px;
				font-style:italic;
			}

Say, I have a long word such as:

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu

If i have multiple words, they will break after 200px width.

Is there any CSS tag that will contain long words?

I'm trying to output a html to word so that it can be edited and printed. Every thing is working fine except that when I print out the document it has margins of about 3cm. I'm unable to change this attribute. I would have thought I could add the following style definination:
body
{
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0px;
}

but it doesn;t seem to make any difference. Has any one done something similar?

I was just wondering if there is an option in CSS to set a word limit?

IE strikes again!

My problem is that in ie there seems to be a space in between the main header images and the navigation. In firefox it works great.

Any ideas where I might be going wrong?

You can see what I mean he

html: http://www.kenjones.co.za/norman/
css: http://www.kenjones.co.za/norman/styles/screen.css

And it should look like this:

http://www.kenjones.co.za/norman/images/norm2.jpg

is there a way to control the pixel amount a br will space in IE and FF so it's the same distance or is there just an issue in my css causing extra space?

On this page: http://www.poweredpages.com/newtarget/ctia/ there's an spacing problem in IE. Hover over one of the links on the main bar to get the sub link tray. Hover over the first two links in a vertical set, and it will work fine. Hover over the THIRD link, and in that link and any link below it there's extra padding on the top of it. But all these links have the exact same CSS associated with them. Very odd. Works fine in FF.

Here's the code and the CSS:

Code:

<div id="showtray" class="tray" onmouseout="hide('showtray','linkinfo')" onmouseover="show('showtray','linkinfo')">
	<div class="traynav">
		<ul>
			<li><a href="/info/">General Information</a></li>
			<li><a href="/info/registration_packages.cfm">Registration Prices & Policies</a></li>
			<li><a href="/info/keynote_sessions.cfm">Keynote Sessions</a></li>
			<li><a href="/exhibit/">Exhibit Floor</a></li>
			<li><a href="/info/ed_sessions.cfm">CTIA Educational Sessions</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>
	<!-- 5 links to a column ONLY!  Any more and start a new column, lke this one -->
	<div class="traynav">
		<ul>
			<li><a href="/info/seminars.cfm">Partner Seminars</a></li>
			<li><a href="/info/green.cfm">Green Practices</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.ctia.org/conventions_events/convinfo/info.cfm">Receive Information</a></li>
			<li><a href="/info/international.cfm">International Guests</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>		
	<div class="trayimage whitetext smalltext"><img src="images/show.jpg"><br />Stars of the Show</div>					
</div>

Code:

.tray{
position:absolute;
z-index:500;
top:30px; 
left:0px;
visibility:hidden;
background-image:url(../images/blackback.png);
width:920px;

Hey all. I am attempting to create a memberlist type page for my website that has a list on the left and when clicked it shows the members information on the right. I have the positioning down and everything but the problem I am running into is how it displays in IE and Firefox. In Firefox my list looks exactly how I would like it to and works fine. In IE however, the png images i used for the "Memberlist Title" and the bottom rounded edges image appear a different color than the list items... . Also, when clicked the list item stays highlighted with the rollover color and I cant figure out why.
Here is my css its at bestinefight.net/memberlist.php
Code:

/* Memberlist */
#navcontainer { 
width: 210px;
margin-left:109px;
}

#navcontainer ul
{
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

#navcontainer a
{
display: block;
width: 200px;
background-color: #4B4535;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
border: 0;
}

#navcontainer a:link, #navlist a:visited
{
font-size:10px;
color: #dbdfaa;
text-decoration: none;
border: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
outline:none;
}

#navcontainer a:hover, #navlist a:active
{
font-size:10px;
background-color: #8B8063;
color: #dbdfaa;
border: 0;
text-decoration:none;
outline:none;
}

#profile_holder {
background-image:url(profile.png);
background-position:top;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:300px;
height:200px;
float:right;
margin-right:30px;
}

#profile {
width:260px;
height:180px;
margin: 40px auto;
}

#memberlist {
width:250px;
height:300px;
float:left;
}

#memberlist_title {
background-image:url(memberlist.png);
width:228px;
height:31px;
margin-left:100px;
}

#memberlist_bottom {
background-image:url(memberlist_bot.png);
height:21px;
width:210px;
margin-left:109px;
}

Here is the code for my page.

Code:

<div id="memberlist"><div id="memberlist_title"></div><div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li><a href="#">Aslad</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Bilos</a></li>
