CSS - Margin-top Vs Top Property
Hi,
i am very new to css and I am confused about the difference between margin-top vs top please help Regards Ltoso Similar TutorialsHi, I have recently changed to using a DIV layout when designing sites. One problem i have noticed is that the margin:0 auto; doesn't work in IE5.5 What can I do to get around this? Many Thanks, Jonathan. so I have a <h2> tag within a <div id="content"> tag, and I want the h2 tag to be about 115px from the top of the content div. Yet everytime I set the margin, it pushes both the <h2> tag AND the <div id="content"> tag down by 115px. Here's my CSS code: #content{ background: #bd1f1f url("images/body_bkgrnd.jpg"); } #content h2{ font: 34px/30px Helvetica; color: black; margin: 115px 0px 0px 0px; width: 544px; } And here's the relevant HTML: <div id="content"> <h2> Great themes, amazing icons, and the best kit of templates. </h2> </div> <!-- end content --> And here's a picture to show what I mean: [IMG]C:\question.jpg[/IMG] Thanks guys! I've been looking through many, many forums trying to resolve this issue, so please forgive me if there is a solution to this that I've missed. Here's the deal: On some installs of Firefox (4.0), the body is being positioned 28px lower than the top of the screen. I set the <html> tag to have a light blue background to troubleshoot the issue, and now there is a light blue bar across the top of the page, proving that it is the body of the page that is lower than it should be. I thought it was a Firefox "collapsing margin" issue, so I added "margin:0; to almost everything, and it didn't help. I'm trying to do this without having to absolutely position everything. Here's the site: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com here's the css: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com/wp-content/themes/myportlandtours/style.css Anybody have insight into this? Background info: - I have validated the page and CSS, no problems there - Site is working properly in Firefox and IE, seems to be a margin issue in Safari -This margin issue is not the common Safari bug with a negative margin being applied to a floated element -I am using Safari in a windows environment, I do not have a Mac The problem: -in Safari the top margin on the content either is either not being applied at all or is being interpreted differently -it may be of note that I was having the same issue with IE, but was able to specify an IE specific style sheet for it, I don't believe this is possible in Safari?

Hi! Should I do this? p { margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 2em; } or this: p { margin-bottom: 2em; } Same question for headers (h1, h2, etc) Thanks! Heya guys, Hope someone can help me with this one. Been looking around the web but most are suggesting to do what i have already done. I've got this in style.css file: Code: /* SEARCH Bar */
.lb_bl {background: url(/img/lb_bl.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #E5ECEC}
.lb_br {background: url(/img/lb_br.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat}
.lb_tl {background: url(/img/lb_tl.gif) 0 0 no-repeat}
.lb_tr {background: url(/img/lb_tr.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding: 3px}
.clear {font-size: 1px; height: 1px}
.topform {
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
top: 65px;
width: 300px;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: myriad, verdana, sans-serif;
text-align: right; }
input, form {
font-size: 11px;
font-family: myriad, verdana, sans-serif;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin: 0px; }
/* End of SEARCH Bar */
Which refers to this part of my index.php page: Code: <!-- Top right SEARCH -->
<div class="topform">
<div class="lb_bl">
<div class="lb_br">
<div class="lb_tl">
<div class="lb_tr">
<form name="form" id="form" method="post" action=""><input name="search" type="text" />
<input name="search" type="button" value="SEARCH" /></form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"> </div>
</div>
<!-- End of top right SEARCH -->
But i am still getting a space below the form in IE (firefox is perfect). What should i do? You can see an example of the page at www.theresortwarehouse.com Thanks in advance to anyone who can help - Gaz Hi all Take a look at this in Firefox and then in IE7: http://www.josh.ch/files/temp/ie7_margin_bug/formulare.html The text input and the textarea fields have a strange margin on the left in IE7 that shouldn't be there. It seems to be "inherited" by the outher paragraph, just change the value in css/general.css on line 29 to see it happen. FF and IE6 behave well, IE7 doesn't. Interestingly, the select field (and all the other fields like radio buttons and checkboxes) don't have this problem. I did a search and found this link: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatIndent.html Seems to be something like that, but the display:inline fix didn't help. the only way I see is a minus margin for the text input and textarea fields for IE7 only, but maybe there's a cleaner way? Thanks a lot for help :-) Josh Hi there, I have recently stumbled about a problem I had with another website I made as well, but since it was at the very bottom back then I kinda ignored it. My new website has this right in the header though, and so I decided to ask for help. Works perfectly in Gecko based browsers, though. I have the problem that I have to Div's right after each other which both have a top and bottom margin of zero, but there is a visible gap between them, only in IE though (header and content as well as content and footer) and in Opera 7.54 at the very bottom. The colors of the background PNG are also broken in IE, never mind that, will exchange that with a JPG. Website in question is http://cyxxon.com, WordPress with my own template. Had the same problem with a website completely handcoded by me. Any ideas? Thomas Is there such a thing as using an alt property for <img> tag? This would be awfully useful for SEO I'm pretty new to css but now use one css file for all of the formatting of my entire website. The only problem I see with that (I say problem because I can't figure out a way around it) is that all of my hyperlinks throughout the website have only one normal state, hover state, active state and visited state. Is there a way to make more than one hyperlink set of formats? Like if I wanted to make one for each page? I could do something like ahomepage:link, ahomepage:visited, ahomepage:active or something??? Code: a:link, a:visited, a:active { font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; font-family: times; text-decoration:none; color : #000000 }
a:hover { font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; font-family: times; text-decoration:underline; color : #000000 }
Ok what i want to happen is that when person clicks on a link i want a div to appear/be visible underneath that link. But i want that div to not take any space unless i click on a link. I recently did something similar BUT the div was taking the space but was just hidden. I'm trying to create some links that swap background images when you mouseover them. The non-CSS solution (which looks exactly how I want it to look) is located he http://84.9.221.75/domains/backingt...Musicindex.html My attempt at creating a CSS equivalent of those links is located on this page: http://84.9.221.75/domains/backingt...Musicindex.html I just need some help with the CSS I'm using on the latter page...I read up a little on how to do this, but it's obvious I'm still doing something wrong... I need the buttons and the text inside the buttons to line up and appear like they do in the first URL....can anyone give me some pointers here? Thank you. I am wondering if there is some way to make a <div> layer automatically expand to the full height of the screen similar to the way that one would use width=100% when talking about the width of a page. I have a layer that I want to extend to the bottom of the page no matter what resolution the user has on their screen. Maybe the layer could just extend all the way until the next layer? Any Ideas? Thanks Jamie Question: I have two class below. What I want is when I change the padding-top property value in div.content-full, I also want the padding-top property value in the div.content change to the same value div.content-full { float:left; width:100%; padding-top:10px; margin:0px; } div.content { float:left; width:70%; padding-top:06px; margin:0px; } Can anybody help me out? This style is use useful or not @property-group title-style() { color: #004080; font-weight: bold; } @property-group standard-vmargins() { margin: 1.33ex 0; } title, subtitle, titleabbrev { display: block; property-group: title-style(); property-group: standard-vmargins(); } This is not support IE... I am trying to figure out how I can get this red curve to align to the bottom of the page, while also being able to move up and down with the size of the browser window. http://www.woodrichwebworks.com/psa/psa_comps/bycor/html/redtest.html Any help would be great. My documentation for css shows that content: url(); works in navigator but not in ie. The info I've got is dated. Does the content property work in the newer ie browsers? Hi all, I've got problm in css Listbox properties, I put list box within a normal html .. and there are 3 option to list like this.., 1.name 2.Address of a person 3.Phone no: resident so i give width=80px; in css and it will show the list box width correctly. but drop down part also the same width . so i want to expand the width as when we entered option text width. how can i achieve this ? pls help me......! Prachalitha Thanks for all the continued help/support. . . Makes learning CSS so much easier! Link: www.vairlinecms.com Question: I set the html up like this on purpose to grasp the concept. <p> tags are block level containers. So each new set of <p> tags should equal start on new line. w/the float property holding a value of left, it floats all content to the left. Since each instance of float occurs in its own container...the two different <p> sets should not be affected. In short, the password: paragraph should be on a new line, not both on the same line. There should be no need to clear it because they are in their own containers - which are block level. Where is my logic/understanding of CSS flawed? HTML: Code: <div id="clientLoginBoxBody">
<form action=#">
<br />
<p class="user">Username:</p>
<p class="pass">Password:</p>
</form>
</div>
CSS: Code: #clientLoginBoxBody p.user, p.pass {
float: left;
margin: 0;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 0;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: right;
}
Will the -moz property ever become a valid CSS property. when I validate my CSS on w3.org I get errors. I remove all propertys that have a -moz in front of it and it is 100% valid. ALSO ... Is there a way to mask parts of the css from the validator or have a separate CSS file that can be masked from the validator to make it appear to be 100% valid.. Thanks |
