CSS - Ie Stacking Divs Instead Of Layering. Also Width Issues
Good day! I have exhausted all of the people I could ask regarding this so I'm hoping I may get help here. This is the first website I've made and it's causing a lot of problems.
http:// www . sycwin . com / index2 . html My issue is that my website is browser compatible with everything BUT IE. My problem is getting it to look the same on IE as it currently looks now on Firefox. I understand that there are java script solutions for div stacking problems, but for some reason those are causing no effects problems: 1. subinfo not positioning over mainwrapper and is instead STACKING on top of mainwrapper on IE 2. introduction not in position to the right of carousel/slideshow on IE 3. paints and wires divs are messed up in width, padding and margin on IE here's the css: Code: body { color:#333333; background-color: #f5f5ef; background-image:url(images/bg.jpg); background-repeat:repeat; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; font-size:11px; padding:0px; margin:0px; } emphasis { background-color:#e7d018; } strong { color:#2b6934; } a:active, a:link, a:hover, a:visited { border:none; text-decoration:none; } img { border:none; } /*MAIN SEGMENTS*/ #mainwrapper{ width:1000px; margin:0 auto; margin-top:-20px; margin-bottom:-50px; z-index:900; overflow:hidden; } #contentwrapper { width:1000px; margin-bottom:-10px; } #header { background-image:url(images/header.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; height:492px; margin-top:-15px; width:1000px; float:none; } #footer { width:1000px; height:222px; background-image:url(images/footer.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:bottom; margin-top:-300px; padding-top:-300px; margin:0 auto; } /*SUBINFO*/ #subinfo { width:220px; position:relative; top:0px; right:35px; float:right; z-index:1000; } #blurb { width:220px; height:165px; color:#FFFFFF; background-image:url(images/blurb_01.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; text-align:center; padding-top:380px; padding-bottom:64px; font-size:11px; } .call { font-size:22px; padding-top:20px; font-weight:bold; line-height:20px; } #contact { width:220px; background-image:url(images/blurb_02.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; font-size:14px; line-height:20px; text-align:center; padding-top:5px; } #blurb strong { color:#FFFFFF; } .blurbheader { font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; } .blurbsubtext { font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; } #credits { text-align: center; font-size:9px; line-height:14px; padding-top:80px; } /*CONTENT*/ #content { width:700px; background-image: url(content-bg.png); background-repeat:repeat-y; padding-right:250px; margin-top:-240px; padding-left:44px; } #slideshow { width:460px; padding-left:10px; height:360px; float:left; padding-bottom:20px; overflow:hidden; } #write-up { width:210px; height:360px; padding:8px 0 20px 10px; margin-left:470px; } #products { width:680px; padding-right:10px; margin: 0 auto; margin-top:20px; } #products td { width:160px; padding-bottom:5px; text-align:center; } #products-wires { width:660px; margin: 0 auto; margin-top:20px; } #products-wires td { width:220px; text-align:center; } .product-header { font-family:Gotham, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-align:left; font-size:25px; font-weight:bold; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:-2px; line-height:14px; } #introduction { width:680px; font-size:11px; line-height: 18px; text-align:left; overflow:hidden; } #paints{ margin-right:18px; width:290px; padding:20px; background-image:url(images/introduction.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; height:195px; float:left; margin-bottom:20px; } #wires { margin-left: 348px; width:290px; padding:20px; margin-right:10px; background-image:url(images/introduction.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; height:195px; margin-bottom:20px; } .product-brand { background-color:#314842; color:#FFFFFF; font-family:Gotham, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; text-transform:uppercase; text-align:left; letter-spacing:2px; font-size:12px; padding-left:5px; } /*ROLLOVER*/ #preview{ position:absolute; border:1px solid #ccc; background:#333; padding:5px; display:none; color:#fff; text-align:center; z-index:3; } #preview img{ width:300px; height:300px; } /*CAROUSEL*/ #carousel ul { list-style: none; width:3600px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position:relative; padding-left:10px; height:350px; float:left; padding-bottom:20px; } #carousel li { display:inline; float:left; } #carousel { overflow:hidden; I hope you guys could help me figure this one out. I'm absolutely clueless. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Similar TutorialsIm having a few issues with the layout of a clients website. I have a three column grid and what I want to do is switch between different column combos, stacked down the page. The problem I have is that the far right column always creeps up to the bottom of the div above it. I've tried heaps of round-about methods but nothings working. I must be missing something painfully obvious. I cant figure out how to post images because I'm a newer user, so try follow these links to get a better understanding: Heres the Current layout: w w w. timdonaldson . com/random/as_is.jpg And Here is the grid I want: w w w. timdonaldson . com/random/if_only.jpg I hope there is a simple solution to this. Thanks in advance for any help. I've been having some issues getting a design for a site I'm co-authoring to display correctly using CSS. I know that what I'm trying to do should be possible, but I haven't been able to figure it out and am getting pretty damn frustrated with the whole thing. I could probably do it with tables, and right now I have it set up with some javascript that I threw together, but css+divs would be the ideal solution. Anyways, this is basically what I want to try and do (that's the javascript version). Just resize the window a bit to see what i'm getting at. Here's the source: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Title</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #leftpane { float: left; height: 100%; border: 1px solid black; } #rightpane { float: right; height: 100%; border: 1px solid black; } --> </style> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- // get rid of all this javascript and figure out a way to do this with css var windowWidth = 800; window.onload = function() { getWindowSize(); resizeLeftPane(); } window.onresize = function() { getWindowSize(); resizeLeftPane(); } function getWindowSize() { if(window.innerWidth) { windowWidth = window.innerWidth; } else if(document.documentElement.clientWidth) { windowWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth; } else if(document.body.clientWidth) { windowWidth = document.body.clientWidth; } } function resizeLeftPane() { var rightpaneWidth = document.getElementById('rightpane').offsetWidth; var margin = 10; document.getElementById('leftpane').style.width = String(windowWidth - rightpaneWidth - margin * 3) +'px'; } //--> </script> </head> <body> <div id="leftpane"> <p>this pane needs to stretch as wide as it can while leaving room for the image at right, whose width is arbitrary</p> </div> <div id="rightpane"> <img src="http://movingboxstudios.com/testz0rz/images/box.jpg" height="100%" alt="image" /> </div> </body> </html> Basically I need a way to have 2 elements next to eachother, 1 of which is an arbitrary size and the other be wide enough to fill the rest of the containing block. Any help would be much appreciated. EDIT: Here's a link to the actual working design, maybe that'll help in understanding my question (don't open it in IE unless you want a facefull of ugly). Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code: <html> <body> <div style="float:right"> Hello there! </div> <hr> </body> </html> If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code: <html> <body> <div style="border: 1px solid #000; "> <div style="float:right"> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> Hello there!<br /> </div> <div style="clear: both"></div> </div> <hr> </body> </html> Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. I cannot figure this out. I've tried adding clear: both in several places, I've tried overflow: hidden and I've tried cursing. Nothing works! How can this be fixed so that in IE6 the divs are not staggered vertically?? Code: <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="38" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;">copy</a><br>copy</a></div> </div> <div style="height: 38px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px;"> <div style="float: left; height: 38px; width: 38px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="19" border="0"></div> <div style="float: right; height: 38px; width: 102px;"><img style="border: 1px solid #444444; vertical-align: middle" src="http://www.diversifieddesigns.com/GRAPHICS/Spacer.gif" alt="" width="38" height="8" border="0"></div> </div> I hope I can explain this in a way that makes sense. I have a table layout where the number of columns is variable (sometimes it can have 1 column, sometimes it can have up to 9 columns), depending on what data is filled out on a previous form. The code in question: Code: <tr> <td> <div style="float: left; width: 13px"><img src="arrow.gif"></div> <div style="float: left; width: 93%;">My explanatory text goes here!</div> </td> <td> Column 2 Text </td> <td> Column 3 Text (and so on) </td> </tr> The two divs there need to float next to each other -- the first div is a little 13x13 arrow, the second div is some explanatory text. I can not just float the image left (and not put the text in a div), because the client wants the text to be left aligned in the div, not wrapping around the image. The issue: If there are less than 5 or 6 columns, it works beautifully. If you put more columns in there, then the second div appears below the first div. I've been fiddling with the widths on the second div, but it has to be a percentage (not a set number of pixels), because the number of columns is variable (as is the width of those columns). How can I make the columns float next to each other regardless of the width of the table cell that they are within? Any help is appreciated. i have never encountered an issue like this... i isolated the code so i can work with it.... here is a link... A LINK problem is... a line of numbers is generated via php... there is no php working on this page... i just took the final resulting code from View Source, and copied it here... anyhow, a list of numbers is generated... i want to set a width, so the numbers will auto flow to another line... but when i set a width, the numbers just go outside the div... i put a 1px dashed border to show where the div is... it shows the correct width in firefox, but the data flows outside of the div... and in IE... the div is just the size of the text, regarless my set width Firefox 3.6 is showing a blank screen for everything I have set as 100% width but looks ok in Firefox 5. My main concern at this point is this: I'm trying to figure out how to move the 4 navigation items (the owl, contact, portfolio and home) closer to the tree without going over or under it. Any help or suggestions I can get are much appreciated! ------------------------------------- Here's the HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>ATHENA STUDIOS - web design & graphic design in Charlottetown, PEI</title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="layout/hoot.ico" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="athena.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="page-wrap"> <!-----page wrap div start------> <div id="top"> <!-----top div start ------> <img src="layout/header.png" alt="header image ATHENA STUDIOS WEB DESIGN, GRAPHIC DEIGN & FRONT END DEVELOPMENT" /> </div> <!-----top div end ------> <div id="navbar"> <!-----nav bar BACKGROUND div start------> </div> <!-----nav bar BACKGROUND div end------> <div id="navigation"> <!-----navigation div start------> <ul id="menu"> <li class="owl"><a href="index.html">Owl</a></li> <li class="contact"><a href="/contact/">Contact</a></li> <li class="portfolio"><a href="/portfolio/">Portfolio</a></li> <li class="home"><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> </ul> </div> <!-----navigation div start------> </div> <!-----page wrap end div------> </body> </html> ----------------------------------------- And here's the CSS: Code: @charset "UTF-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { width:100%; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4; background: url(../layout/bg.png); background-attachment:fixed; margin:0; padding:0; text-align: center; } a, a:link { color: #000000; text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color: #31636c; text-decoration: none; } a.footer:link { color: #ddcfb2; } a.footer:hover { color: #ddcfb21; } a.footer:visited { color: #ddcfb2; } a.footer:active { color: #ddcfb2; } #page-wrap { width: 100% ; margin: auto ; text-align: center; } #top { width:100%; background:url(layout/skybg.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; text-align: center; position:relative; z-index: 500; } #navbar { width:100%; height:102px; margin-top:-139px; padding-top:15px; background:url(layout/navbg.png); background-repeat:repeat-x; } #navigation { width:100%; height:155px; text-align:center; margin-top:-154px; } /* Everything CSS Sprite Menu */ ul#menu { text-align:center; position:relative; z-index: 501; padding:0; list-style:none; clear:both;} #menu li{overflow:hidden; text-indent:-9999px; display:inline; text-align:center; float:left; margin-right:10px;} #menu li a{background:url('layout/navigation.png') no-repeat; width:100%; height:100%; display:block;} /* Owl Button */ #menu li.owl{width:158px; height:146px;} #menu li.owl a{background-position:0px 0px;} #menu li.owl a:hover{background-position:0px -2px;} /* Contact Button */ #menu li.contact{width:150px; height:158px;} #menu li.contact a{background-position:-158px 0px;} #menu li.contact a:hover{background-position:-158px -2px;} /* Portfolio Button */ #menu li.portfolio{width:238px; height:146px;} #menu li.portfolio a{background-position:-308px 0px;} #menu li.portfolio a:hover{background-position:-308px -2px;} /* Home Button */ #menu li.home{width:114px; height:146px;} #menu li.home a{background-position:-546px 0px;} #menu li.home a:hover{background-position:-546px -2px;} NEVER MIND. Got it. lol I have two div tags that I want to float next to each other. The page looks like this <table>These Tables stretch 100% of the width</table> <table>''</table> <div class="ParentDiv"> <div class="menuholder"></div> <div class="ChildDiv"></div></div> in FF everything works the way I want to. In IE if I shrink down the browser then the second div tag drops below the first. I want to change this so that it does not drop below but remains in the same place. Is there anything I can set to do that? If I remove the float and change the position on the menuholder the childdiv tag does not drop but the menuHolder content does not stretch the size of the parentDiv and gets chopped off at the height of the childDiv Code: .ParentDiv { position: relative; width: 100%; width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 997 ? '997px' : '100%'); min-width:997px; max-width:100%; overflow:hidden; min-height: 400px; } .ChildDiv { position: relative; width: 100%; min-height: 400px; } .menuholder { background-color: #EFF3F5; color: #eef; position: relative; float: left; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden; width: 160px; z-index: 100; } I'm having trouble getting my dropdown navbar to stretch the width of the parent container. I can get it almost the right width but I have to make the width 107.16px which seems really stupid and wrong to me. But if I change it to 100% the list becomes vertical and all jacked up. Any clues on how to get it to stretch the entire width of the container? link Thanks! edit: I added the follow css to get rid of the white border at the end of the navbar. It looks good in FF but in IE there's a small gap now between the navbar & the side of the container. I'm hoping that there's a better way to do this. Code: #contact_nav a {border:none;} /*Removes right border on end of navbar*/ ok, i know that because span is a inline element width cant be applied to it, and a lot of people suggest DIV my problem is that div wont work, because of its auto-break thing.... it being a block element and all... so, how would i apply a width of something like 100px to the span elements in code like this?... Code: <div class="infocontainer"> <span class="infobox">Publisher: <?php print $publisher; ?></span> <span class="infobox">Developer: <?php print $developer; ?></span> <span class="infobox">System: <?php print $system; ?></span> <span class="infobox">Gen <?php print $genre; ?></span> </div> Here is the relevant HTML code: <table> <tr> <td> <div style="float:left;"> <div class="middle"><div class="r"><div class="l"> <a id="gridtitle" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="reload()"></a> </div></div></div> <div style="width: 200px;"> <a href="#" onclick="addheader()"><img border="0" src="tab_new_header.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="addfooter()"><img border="0" srctab_new_footer.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </div> <div style="float:right;"> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:toggleLayer('newgrid');"><img border="0" src="button_add.png" alt="Add a grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="deleteGrid()"><img border="0" src="button_delete.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div id="gridbox3" class="gridbox" width="870px" height="600px" style="background-color:white;"></div> </td> </tr> </table> And the relevant CSS code [which just sets the background of the tab]: .l {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg1.png) 0 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .r {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg2.png) 100% 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .middle {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg.png); height: 43px;} This is the output (i can't post images?) http://i34 [.] tinypic [.] com/4hpqag [.] png The first problem I am having is that the div my gridtitle (CIBC) is in does not set its width automatically to the text width. Instaed, it spans the whole table ... Position-wise, I would like the tab with "CIBC" to be to the far left, the header and footer tabs to be right of "CIBC" but still floating left, and the + and x signs to be floating right, all on the same line. Help? Thanks in advance. Hang on to this post, I have found a couple of answers, so will post again when i get stuck! Charlie Hello folks. I am normally pretty handy with the CSS. I develop my sites in the latest of Firefox then test in IE 6.0. My latest site looks like gargabe in IE 6. Looks 99.99% perfect in Firefox. Here are the two problems: 1) I can't get the sliced image on the right lined up in IE 6 for the life of me! 2) On the front page, I have 2 tables underneath a paragraph. I don't like tables but for displaying 37 small icons... you get the idea. Anyway when you first go to the home page in IE the tables look okay. But if you navigate away then back, the icons go crazy! Please help! http://www.TattooSeek.info The problem I have has arisen whilst trying to create a horizontal and a vertical navigation menu using <li> tags. It is best illustrated by the following example: Code: <div style="width:100%;height:50px;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> <br /> <div style="width:100px;height:100%;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> and the CSS Code: div { border:0; background-color:#888888; } ul { margin:0;padding:0; } ul li { float:left; list-style:none; background-color:#CCCCCC; height:50px; width:100px; } The <div> tags are set to 50px height and 100px width respectively. When an <li> element is placed within the div with the same height or width they display the way I intended. However once a 1px border is applied to the <li>'s then in IE the border is counted as part of the width or height. In Firefox the border will add 2px to the starting height and width giving the effect of width:102px or height:52px;. This is massively frustrating as I need each <li> to have the 1px border. It looks different in each browser (I have not tested it in netscape nor opera, but I suspect they will display the same as Firefox.) Can anyone provide a fix to get get round this please? Thank you in advance. I have a page whose outer-most container has a fixed width. On some pages, there is a table whose width I cannot set to be fixed because its contents (more specifically the number of <td>s) are dynamic. My problem is that when the table has so many <td>s that its width is forced to be greater than its parent <div>'s fixed width, the other page elements are not rendered as desired. Here is a simple illiustration of what I'm talking about. The text on the page explAins my issues (although it should be evident from loooking at it in a browser).

I know I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what. Any suggestions? Hi there! I've been diving into trying to make mobile web pages and though a lot of my former CSS experience helps me a great deal I get a bit perplexed about forms. I'd like to have all my form elements at the width of a 100% except for checkboxes and radiobuttons. Now, this almost works out all the way but I have a problem with how the strict rendering handles form elements. I've tried using both XHTML Mobile 1.2 and XHTML Mobile 1.0 but the same problems arise; Apart from wanting the elements to go 100% in width, I also would like them to respect margins. If I simply set the width to a 100% and my right and left margins to, say, 5px, I get the field pushed in 5 pixels from the left but I cannot get the 5 pixel indent from the right. I have tried using a wrapper div but it suffers the same result. I have figured out that this can have something to do with the rules of mobile pages provided by the XHTML mobile rendering specification but I'm now wondering if there's anything I can do to accomplish this. I've found out that mobile pages that have full width elements look (in almost all cases) very good on most handsets I've tested. Thanks in advance! Hey everyone, After doing some reprogramming of the site I was making I'm having troubles with lists. I can't set the width of the li or a so that the size takes shape. I can't figure out why, or how to do it. I know I've done it before but the code i used there just doesn't seem to want to work. The LI and A tags take the size of the text within. I've checked the resources I could find in the sticky and that kravitz gave me and they seem to be able to set width but it's just not working. here is my css Code: #menu{ width:750px; border:thin solid #000000; } #menu ul{ margin:0; padding:0; width:750px; display:inline; } #menu li{ width:150px; display:inline; border:thin solid #000000; list-style-type:none; background-color:#550210; } #menu a{ width:150px; } If I take out the display:inline the width takes shape but when I put it back in it resizes to the size of the text within. Alright guys. I'm working on a horizontally scrolling news ticker type deal. I have two divs on screen, and the rest are off screen using the overflow:hidden on the parent. The divs are set to 466px wide, float:left, and the parent is 932px wide. Since div 3 and up are all 466px, they drop down below the other two. Not a problem, since the overflow is set. However the jquery animation does not reset the reference point when it scrolls, so the divs stay in this arrangement. Is there any way to keep them all lined up next to eachother horizontally? I'm wondering if there is a CSS solution first, before I get creative with the jQuery. I could easily set it for the next two divs to display right, but there is no telling how many divs there will be and it would quickly become a nightmare trying to account for all possibilities. Here is the current CSS I'm using: Code: #test {background-color:#F1F2F2; width:932px; padding:10px; margin-top:20px;overflow:hidden; display:inline-block; height:400px;} #newswrapper {height:100px; position:relative; left:0px;} #newswrapper div {float:left; position:relative; background:#CCC; width:466px; height:400px;} |
