CSS - Extra Spacing In List Nav Added In Ie?
Hi there guys,
This is a pretty specific problem to my website, but I can't seem to find out why part of my navigation list moves down when an element is shown by Javascript in IE. So I can't plug in a url into this post, so I suppose I'll just explain the problem. I have a list navigation with images, and within one of the list elements is another nested list. When I click on the link that then uses JS to display the subnavigation, the link below that shifts down something like four pixels when its not supposed to, and I couldn't fix it by playing with CSS for some reason, but I'm assuming the problem is hidden in there somewhere. I've been trying to resolve this for a couple days; if anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Similar TutorialsOn my new design: http://codymays.net/~private_ftp/theed The header and footer of the green block have a space on them and I cannot figure out why. I had this problem with the design before, but I started over and now I only have this issue with IE6 and below. It works in all other browsers. I can clear the spaces if I set the margin-top of the block's content area to -4 and the footer's margin-top to -4. But once this is done, IE then redraws the div at the bottom of the page for no apparent reason. Any ideas/suggestions on what to do here would be appreciated. Thanks, Cody Hi, Can anyone please explain why the more text I add to the main content area 'full-size' div.... the more spacing gets added below it. Is there a way to stop this? example herel Code:

I am setting up a site that has an inner white content area surrounded by an outer grey area. Both areas have rounded corners. I use a bg image (single image for both corners) with a no repeat to handle the corners on the top. I want the same amount of padding all the way around the white box. So I have a div with the white content area inside the div for the grey box and gave the grey box a padding of 7px. This displays fine in IE (oddly enough), but doesn't display correctly in Firefox or Safari. What it is doing in those 2 browsers is adding extra space on the top and the bottom, so the grey area is about 12px taller than it should on either side. Where is this extra space coming from? How can I fix this? I have attached an image showing the issue and the code used is below. So here's the css: Code: body{
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
background:#535353;
}
.nav_container{
width:770px;
height:76px;
background-color:#FFF;
}
.page_body{
background:url(images/page_top_curve.gif) top left no-repeat #e1e1e1;
width:756px;
padding:7px;
}
.content_container{
background:url(images/content_full_top_curve.gif) top left no-repeat #fff;
width:756px;
}
and 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=ISO-8859-1" /> <title>Title</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <!--MAIN NAVIGATION--> <div class="nav_container">hgjgjhg </div> <!--PAGE BODY--> <div class="page_body"> <div class="content_container"> <p>dsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsd</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </body> </html> I know it has to be a padding or margin issue, but I cannot figure out where it is coming from. I have spent several days going back to this and trying to look at it with fresh eyes with no luck. I am sure it will be a 'duh' type of thing when I get a solution. Here is the webpage: http://www.palmettobaydesigns.com/new/layout.html I am getting extra space of about 10px it looks like between the white rounded top image that makes the top of my box and the div below it called .box - in ff4. In IE 8 I am getting about 1px space below the box. Thanks in advance!

OK so I wrote a post asking if anybody knew why something was displaying incorrectly on my site, but due to forum rules I wasn't allowed to include any links. So how can I show you the problem if I can't show you? Also, the link saying "see forum rules for more information" didn't have any more information. Like, how many posts until I can ask for help and actually show what the problem is? Hello all, firstly, thank you for all you contribute to this question. I have a website (as everyone does) which has a problem (which i always do). I have an embeded flash file and 2 lines of text which are seperated into 2 different divs inside a table cell. I am using css to position these texts over the flash file, which is just fine. The only problem I am recieving is that while using the position: relative in css for these it leaves extra unneeded space under the flash file where the text would be if they were not being positioned. Here is the page wit hthe problem: Look at the header So I am stumped. I have posted away in other CSS forums and have received no replies at all, I have googled it many times and found the same problem, but the solution will only work for that individuals situation. So, what can be done. Here is my html for the header cell: Code: <table id=main cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td class=head colspan=2 height=144px> <param name="movie" value="test.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <embed src='images/test.swf' width=762px height=144px wmode="transparent" style="z-index: 1;" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><div class='headtitle'><? echo $title; ?></div><div class='headquote'><? echo $quote; ?></div></td> </tr> And here is the css that is used by that cell: Code:
table#main {
height : 100%;
background : #ffffff;
width : 762px;
border : 0 none inherit;
border-left : 1px solid #000;

Im sure its something Im looking over as I am a newb at css. Thanks for all help! Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to CSS. I am developing a simple webpage that has a horizontal unordered list serving as a navigation bar. Firefox adds what looks like about 20px of extra space above and below the entire list while internet explorer shows it aligned top left. Eventually I would like to center the unordered list top and bottom, but I can't seem to get any alignment formatting to work at all. Here is the problem code: Code: <div id="navbox">
<ul id="navbar">
<li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="http://showrooms.canadatrader.com/7010/7622">INVENTORY</a></li>
<li><a href="formapp.html">APPLY NOW</a></li>
<li><a href="mailto:rjtria@gmail.com">EMAIL ME</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
And the corresponding CSS: Code: #navbox {
background-color: #B1C5D0;
height: 50px;
width: 760px;
overflow: visible;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-top-color: #333;
border-right-color: #333;
border-bottom-color: #333;
border-left-color: #333;
color: #036;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 130%;
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
line-height: normal;
}
#navbar li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-top-style: dotted;
border-right-style: dotted;
border-bottom-style: dotted;
border-left-style: dotted;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
I know it's not much.. but it's making me crazy. I have tried zeroing out all padding / margins to no avail... Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Celeste Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to space out seperate blocks of text within a <ul> element? So for instance: Code: <ul> <li>Caption1 Caption2 Caption3</li> </ul> In that code I want to have each word spaced out a set amount. I guess I'm basically trying to emulate table rows, but I can't use tables for what I'm trying to do. I have this: Code:
li {
line-height: 25px;
}
Which does sort of what I want. What I really want is for the spacing between bullets to be 25px and the line spacing within a bulletted point to be normal .. is there a way to do that? Trying to resolve the spacing issues when using a list. IE honors the set margin while FF appears to add much more amrgin spacing. I have tried using display:inline but when I do, I lose the haning indent. Any suggestions? I have a list of faculty members with a picture and bio for each entry and I am having trouble creating a consistent amount of vertical space between the entries. This is because some of the bios are shorter than the picture and some are longer, requiring me (for the shorter entries) to add <br />s to the bio to reach the end of the picture. Of course, depending on the browser and display settings, a greater or smaller number of <br />s are needed to get to the end of the picture so code that looks right on one pc does not look right on another. Here's a sample of the code I am using: Code: <h3 class="blue_title">Bob Smith</h3> <p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/bob.jpg" alt="bob" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Math and Physics.</em><br />The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. <em>Since 1999.</em></p> <br /><br /><br /> <p> </p> <h3 class="blue_title">Edgar Jones</h3> <p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/edgar.jpg" alt="edgar" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Spanish, Greek, Latin,<br />and Latin American History.</em><br />he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.<em>Since 2005.</em></p> <p> </p> Because the bio in the first entry is short, I need those three extra <br />s to reach the bototm of the picture (otherwise the next entry floats up and into the first). But as a result, the spacing between entries where the top entry needed <br />s looks wrong compared to other entries depending on the user's individual settings. Any sugestions for how to fix this problem? I guess I could set up a table and use different rows for each entry, but I was hoping not to need a table. Thanks. (p.s. - I am using joomla for this site but I don't think that's relevant to this question.) Is there a way to decrease a default spacing between bullet and text in <ul>? Trying to follow "the best practices" I wanted to convert my menu from bunch of <a></a><br> to unordered list. I already display arrows icon next to menu items so I though it would save me some typing on <img>. But there is one problem: I can't decrease the space between bullet and text. There is bullet, around one em of empty space and then text. It breaks my layout, making menu items wrap to another line, and also wastes some space. I tried to play with margins and padding, but bullets still stay at the same place. Also negative margin and padding doesn't seem to work. If I use a background image instead of bullet, I can adjust the spacing but then the bullet position doesn't seem consistent and get cramped on text in longer lines. Hi guys I've added a banner zone in my site, but it is not looking good in FF nor IE !! Site: www.stockestate.com Code for the banner zone (div) Code: #banner {
float:left;
position:relative;
top:0px;
left:25px;
width:468px;
height:60px;
margin-top: 50px;
padding: 4px 4px 4px 4px;
}
Does any1 know what should I try to fix this ? Thanks i am currently making a page which makes use of some JS that swaps between three div containers by changing the display to hide on all but one... anyhow... i here is the page.. if you click on "best reviews" it adds a huge gap but if then click on "worst reviews" the gap disapears clicking back onto "best reviews" the gap is gone too... it is very tricky... i've used this JS before, and it worked fine... and it this page looks and acts fine in IE6... i just thing the space of one of the containers is remaning, even tough it is being hidden... here is the page... i've put a 1px dashed #900 border around all divs so as to make it easier to debug... Mini Catalog I have a div that just serves as a horizontal rule, it's 800px wide and 3px high. Firefox renders it properly, but internet explorer is adding 10 pixels totaling 13 pixels high. I have tried the traditional <hr> tag, but it adds an ugly subtle border around it in IE that can't be removed. EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention that it's internet explorer version 6 The markup: Code:
<div id="header">
<div id="banner">
</div>
<div id="nav">
<div id="floatleft">
</div>
<div id="floatright">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="header_hr">
</div>
<div id="main">
</div>
The CSS: Code:
#header
{
margin:0 auto;
width:800px;
font-size:11px;
}
#banner
{
background-image:url('../images/banner.jpg');
height:29px;
width:800px;
}
#nav
{
width:800px;
}
#floatright
{
float:right;
}
#floatleft
{
float:left;
}
#header_hr
{
background-color:#464646;
clear:both;
height:3px;
margin:0 auto;
width:800px;
border:0;
}
#main
{
width:800px;
margin:0 auto;
}
Here's the output: So I'm working on a website of mine that needs a varying amount of content boxes (divs with content in) per page. The way I want them to display however, is the catch. So I'll explain what I want first, and then show what I've done at the moment. What I want I want them to display at around 10% from the bottom of the user's page. And be anchored to that point. So no matter what size the browser window is, the content will be fairly similarly laid out (within reason). SO. If a page needs only one content box (one div with content in), I want the bottom left corner of that div to be 10% up the users browser window from the bottom of the page. BUT. Then if I want 2 divs of content on that page, I want the 1st div to be pushed up the page by the 2nd, and have the 2nd div's bottom left corner 10% up the user's page. And then with the same pattern every time I add another div. So to try and make sure you get it, I drew these. On a page that needs 1 content box - http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/945/1div.jpg On a page that needs 2 content boxes - http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/33/2divs.jpg On a page that needs 3 content boxes - http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/1484/3divs.jpg So what I've done Is.. used a container div that is situated at that point of the page that I want the divs to align from. But because I failed at trying to relatively position them, I just positioned them with absolute values. Which is far too rigid for what I need. At the moment it has 3 divs to show the process I want. The 1st content div obviously then has to stay at the bottom, so I need to move my content to other divs when I want to add something below an existing one. Another problem/requirement is that if one of the divs has more lines of content than the other, big inconsistent gaps emerge. So depending on the size of the div, it would need to get pushed further, or less, up the page. HTML Code: <div id="content-container"> <div id="content1"> abc </div> <div id="content2"> def </div> <div id="content3"> ghi </div> </div> CSS Code:
#content-container {
width: 1px;
height: 1px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 10%;
left: 10%;
}
#content1 {
width: 600px;
height: 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 110px;
}
#content2 {
width: 600px;
height: 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 250px;
}
#content3 {
width: 600px;
height: 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 390px;
}
Basically I want it to be flexible, rather than rigid. Which I had hoped could be fixed with relative positioning, but I couldnt manage that. Hi there, I'm making a weblog layout made in php all the articles are going to be stored on the center of the screen, the code I used for this is width:50%, but how do I make the css code so that the center page color will be all the way at the bottom no matter what size of a window is used? Thanks in advanced! There is a big amount of space that shows up in firefox and not IE on a page I am trying to develop. temporary site <--- fixed. in a state of constant change. The css is layout.css . I have had two people try to design a template in photoshop for me but they are dragging their butts. I decided to just start without them with a simple template. I know there are problems. I probably coded things wrong and not efficient and the image is also too big. It also doesn't validate if anyone checks that(it is because of my transparencies). I really would like to know what is causing the extra space in firefox. If you have comments on other stuff feel free to comment because this is my first attempt at a css template. Also if anyone has an idea for a design feel free to draw something up. |
