CSS - Margins In Lists

I've got two child divs nested in a parent div. They are shown below. The problem I am having is that in IE 5.x for Mac, the top margins do not work, while the left margins are applied properly. The following script works just fine in: safari, mozilla, firefox, opera, netscape, etc. It is only in IE for mac that the top margin is not applied and the two children are positioned improperly. If anyone knows of any fixes, hacks, or just sees some junk in my code, please let me know. All help is greatly appreciated!


#parent
{
width: 700px;
height: 66px;
}

#child1
{
width: 288px;
height: 56px;
margin: 8px 0 0 10px;
background-image: url(whatever);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
float: left;
}

#child2
{
width: 115px;
height: 40px;
margin: 14px 0 0 165px;
background-image: url(whatever);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
float: left;
}

i have a left margin of 5px on the navigation links that pushes them away from the edge. however. However, for Corporate Leadership and board of directors, the second line does not indent. How can I fix this?

Also, if anyone has an opinion, do you think it would be better to keep the text for that line the same size as the other links, or would you make the text smaller so that the bar itself is the same height as all the others in the navigation.

Thank you

ok im having a no brainer and i cant figure out what i did wrong, can someone take a look at this and tell me how to remove the space below. im posting a link, it has the css text posted on the page with the menu im working on that im having difficulty with.

apparently being a new user i cant post links but just add the dots as dots and you should be able to find it.

Hi All,

I am very new to CSS and i am working on preparing a document of an existing CSS. Can someone tell me if the margins are set as this,

margin:0px 31px 0px;

Is it top,right and bottom?

Thanks

Hello, I have been having some problems with ie and auto margins, In firefox my page shows perfectly, but in ie, the page hangs to the left only showing the default margin that ie gives you. I want the page to center in the middle. The link to the page is spanglerdesign.com/test/Mulligan1

I am having a heck of a time with this side sub-menu. I cannot seem to get the left margins to be equal in IE 6, 7 or 8?

My html:


Code:

<!-- show_menu2 -->
 <ul id="sub_menu" class="menu" style="margin-left:-5px;position: relative; background-color:#CFF">

    <li><a href="#" class="menu-expand menu-first navlev2" title="Project">Add-ons Project</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="menu-expand menu-parent navlev2" title="What Modules">Modules</a>
     <ul class="ullev3">
        <li><a href="#" class="menu-sibling menu-first navlev3" title="Modules Here">Module</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" class="menu-sibling navlev3" title="Admin Tools">Admin Tools</a></li>

        <li><a href="#" class="menu-current navlev3" title="Random">Code Snippets</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" class="menu-sibling menu-last navlev3" title="Droplet of Link">Droplets</a></li>
     </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#" class=" navlev2" title="AMASP">AMASP</a>    </li>
    <li><a href="#" class=" navlev2" title="Templates">Templates</a> </li>

    <li><a href="#" class="menu-last navlev2" title="Backend Pages">Backend Themes</a></li>
 </ul>

  
          </div>
                          <!-- end of subnavigation --> 

My CSS:
Code:

#submenu

	padding: 0;
	/* [disabled]width: 247px; */
	/* [disabled]position: relative;

	/* [disabled]left: -15px; */

	background-position: 2px 50%;
}
#submenu a:hover
{
	color :#003366;
	background-image: url(../images/bullets_micro/square1.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	/* [disabled]background-position: 4px 50%;

	margin-bottom: 0px;
	/* [disabled]margin-left: -25px;
*/
	/* [disabled]position: relative;
*/
	/* [disabled]left: -10px;
*/
}
#submenu ul li
{
	padding :5px 0;
	/* [disabled]line-height :1.4em; */
	font-size :12px;
	list-style-type :none;
	border-bottom :#cccccc 1px solid;
}

My test page: (pardon the blue background I just added this to see the container.)

Thanks so much.

Hello.

I'll preface this by saying that it's probably a common problem with a simple solution, but I've searched all over the net for a solution and come up empty. It's very possible that I'm using the wrong search terms, however.

Anyway, on to the issue I'm having.

I recently rebuilt a page using CSS with divs -- prior to that it had been using several nested tables and the code was getting pretty unwieldy -- and it looks great in most of the latest browsers. Except, of course, IE.

The way the page is set up, I have two container divs floated left, each one using 48% of the available width, with a 1% margin on each side. It looks perfect in every browser except for IE. In IE it seems that the only style definition that it cares to acknowledge is the float left, so both container divs get forced together on the left side with no space in between. It's not unreadable, but it's not what i want either.

Here's the style definition:

Code:

.newsTypeSection{
	width:48%;
	float:left;
	margin-right:1%;
	margin-left:1%;
	display: inline;
}

the display:inline; was something i added later as it seemed to be a proposed fix from another site. It didn't make a difference that I could see, so I just left it.

Here's an image that shows the difference. The top example is what it should look like. It looks perfect in every browser but IE.

URL

The bottom is what shows up in IE8, and probably other version of IE as well.

Can anyone help me with this? It's beyond frustrating.
Please let me know if you need more information. I can't link to the page because it's not public at the moment.

Hello,

I have the following issue. I need to create a full screen gray div with another white div inside it, positioned with 5 pixel margin. Basically it looks like a white div with 5px border around it. That wouldn't be a problem after i set body and html height to 100%, but here's what breaks: i add the first gray div (relatively positioned) and make it's min-height: 100%, then add lots of text and see if it autoexpands. It does! Now i add another absolutely positioned white div inside of it and set its position to 5px from each side. And now everything breaks ... doesn't autoexpand ... at least in opera. Here's the css:

Code:

body, html {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
#maindiv {
    position: relative;   
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    background: #777777;
}
#fullscr {
    position: absolute;
    left: 5px;
    top: 5px;
    bottom: 5px;
    right: 5px;
    background: #FFFFFF;
}

<div id="maindiv"><div id="fullscr">
lots of text with linebreaks
</div></div>

Does anyone have any ideas how to make it work?

I'm working on a set of tabs within tabs (or subtabs).

My code is something like this:

Code:

 <ul class="tabs" 
            <li class="selected">1</li>
            <li>2</li>
            <li>3</li>
            <li>4</li>
    </ul>

 <div class="tab_content">
    <ul class="subtabs">
       <li class="selected">1</li>
       <li>2</li>
       <li>3</li>
       <li>4</li>
       <li>5</li>
       <li>6</li>
    </ul>

Now, "tab_content" has padding of 10px, because the subtabs won't always be there. But I don't want the padding on the subtabs, so I was giving them a negative margin of -10px. This works in all browsers but IE, which applies everything but the right margin, leaving a white gap. See the image I'm attaching to see what the problem looks like. Anyone know of easy fixes for this?

Why doesn't the following code result in a blue border that is 10px wide?

PHP Code:
<Table>
    <tr>
        <td style="background-color: 0000FF;">
        
            <Table>
                <tr>
                    <td style="background-color: FF0000; padding: 10; margin: 10; border:  10px solid #00FF00;">
                        Test Font
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </Table>
            
        </td>
    </tr>
</Table> 

I thought I had this worked out before with the help of this forum, but it seems to be back again!

In IE 6 (and maybe others, who knows. I am running Ubuntu =/ ) there is a big gap between the top horizontal nav and the comic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'll even trade you php help!

I have a couple of problems.

1) I have an unwanted margin around my page. I have tried and searched everything I could to get rid of it and I cannot. Ca someone please explain why it is doing this?

2) No matter how hard I try, the Navigation list will not move to where I would like it to go (Centered in the grey area). What am I doing wrong? Code below

Anyone know why the margins change on the links when I hover over them with IE. (check left column navigation)

Note: This works fine on firefox, but goes ape**** on IE.
