CSS - Weird Float Bug - Help Please!
Similar Tutorialssubject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) Hi There - Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about. Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow. Code: <div id="top part" logo and searchbox </div> <div> that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links </div> <div id=navcontainer> dropdown and tabbed menu </div> <div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css --> <div id="primary" class="clear-block"> contains barmenu - very fussy </div> </div> Here's the relevant CSS: Code:
div#navigation {
background: #fff url(../images/blue/menu-bg.png) 100% 100% repeat-x;
}
#primary {
line-height: 30px;

This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float {
float: left;
BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-RIGHT: 2px;
BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-LEFT: 2px;
FONT-WEIGHT: lighter;
FONT-SIZE: medium;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px;
MARGIN: 16px 2%;
BORDER-LEFT: #808080 2px solid;
COLOR: #000000;
PADDING-TOP: 2px;
BORDER-BOTTOM: #808080 2px solid;
HEIGHT: 200px;
WIDTH: 150px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
div.float p {
text-align: center;
}
div.container {
border: 2px dashed #333;
background-color: #ffe;
}
div.spacer {
clear: both;
}
MY HTML is like this: Code: H1>How to create pages</H1> <P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page. See the following pages...<BR></P> <P></P> <DIV class=container> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 1" src="image1.gif" width=100> <P>caption 1</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 2" src="image2.gif" width=100> <P>caption 2</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 3" src="http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/image3.gif" width=100> <P>caption 3</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV></DIV></DIV> Hi all, I have a bit of an odd situation (prob not odd if you seen it before but I have no clue why its doing it!).... I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. omg I am going to fall from the window with this stupid language lol... Until yesterday, I was designing properly my site, using css and linking it in my php properly andddddddd.......... today I noticed a weird result. When I change something in css, I can see no result in the site. Even if I delete code from css, the site seems to be cached! I use Mozilla, I tried to clean cache, the css is properly linked... whats going on now Have anyone else faced a similar problem?... Hey everyone, I have an odd problem. CSS Code: Original - CSS Code ul#admin_menu li.am_item{ float:left; clear:none; display:inline; border:0; padding:0; margin:0; width:24%; }
ul#admin_menu li.am_item{
This works... CSS Code: Original - CSS Code li.am_item{ float:left; clear:none; display:inline; border:0; padding:0; margin:0; width:24%; }
li.am_item{
This doesn't work... I don't understand why. What gave it away was the display:inline; The first one displays them inline, the second displays them block and they don't get their width. Hey gang, quick question. I'm tring to make a "Thermometer" of sorts for my site, and instead of making lots of images in photoshop, I figured I could do it a little more dynamicly using divs and css. I was right, as Firefox displays my code perfectly, however, IE messes up the whole thing by keeping the allocated space for the one div in the place where its positioned in the code. Dumb thing. I figure it has something to do with the display property, but I'm not sure which to use. Any suggestions? Thanks! PHP Code: <div style="height: 500px; width: 100px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px black solid; background: url('meter_color.jpg');"> <div style="position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; height: 125px; width: 100px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; background: #FFFFFF; z-index: 1;"></div> <div style="position: relative; top: -125px; left: 0px; height: 500px; width: 100px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; background: url('mask.gif'); z-index: 2;"></div> </div> (images attached) -Jim if you check out this website you'll immediately understand what the problem is about. The script I wrote, pulls pictures out of a database and displays them. I have a print feature (click the link that says: Ik wil de klassenlijst van **** afprinten). With Css I check wether or not a picture can be displayed on this page or if it has to be forced onto another page, when printed. Code:
<style type="text/css" media="print">
table {
page-break-befo auto;
}
</style>
When you check the webpage, you'll notice this row gives problems in IE. When I print the page from Internet Explorer: this row shows on the page, but not the picture that goes along with it. When I print the page from Mozilla: this row does not show on the page, neither the picture that goes along with it. as it should be Can someone help me? It is very important that the pagebreak is automagically forced when printed, because I can't guess the format on which people will print. Hello, I have a free text search with auto suggestion that opens below the input box. I finally managed to make it look good in all browsers, but I have one problem left in IE - when the auto suggestion div opens with the options and I press the down arrow to move down the list, there is a little jump. You can see it by going to : bateries.websitebuildingsolutions.com in IE and enter "b1" in the search box, wait a second for the div to open and than press the down arrow to move down the list. What can I do to fix this? Thanks So I have the following website: http://www.itmustbecollege.com/ and it has a problem SOMEWHERE that I can't seem to figure out. The problem is that all of my pages now have a big "space" on the far right, forcing a huge horizontal size. I have tried to debug but can't seem to find out the exact problem. It is weird, because certain parts of the website have a "width: 100%" yet ENDS at the correct look, yet there is still that huge space! I have a basic 2 column layout with a header and the columns reprezented by two floated divs but on IE I'm experiencing some weird behaviour with the menu. To be precise the menu's background and content is not showing up at pageload and I have to hover some of it's elements or resize the window, or bring another window above IE's window and then the hidden elements magically appear. Is this some common bug? And more important: is there a fix? You can see my example at the following link -> http://www.link7.ro/misc/css-stuff/bug1/test.html Thanks in advance. The border around the fieldset in IE7 is messed up. The right border is shifted to the left several pixels. It looks fine in IE6. In FF the border isn't shifted but there is less padding on the right side of the fieldset than the left. I can't figure that one out either. If I zero out all the padding & borders the input/textareas push a few pixels out the right side of the fieldset. Looks fine in IE6. So has anyone seen either of these issues and might know how to correct them? Here is the page in question Thanks! I've got a body of text within a DIV tag. For some reason, if I roll my mouse over the text, the entire body of text changes color as if it were a link. I've double checked to see if there are any open HREF tags but there are none. Any ideas? Safari 1.3 on Mac OSX 10.3.9 if it matters. I've also tested on Netscape, Opera, Firefox and IE and all of these work fine. here be the code: Code: .mainBody {
color: #000;
font-family: helvetica, arial, "sans serif";
font-size: 12px;
text-align: justify;
padding-left: 35px;
padding-right: 35px;
}
.mainBody:link, .mainBody:visited {
color: #600;
text-decoration: underline;
}
.mainBody:active, .mainBody:hover {
color: #996600;
text-decoration: none;
}
.pageLinks {
color: black;
font-family: helvetica, arial;
font-size: 14px;
text-align: center;
}
.pageLinks:link, .pageLinks:visited {
color: #960;
text-decoration: underline;
font-size: 14px;
}
.pageLinks:active, .pageLinks:hover {
color: #960;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 14px;
}
Hi, I'm trying to display text in a floating div in the middle of the page. The style is as follows: Code:
.mainContentAreaBackground {
position:absolute;
z-index:11;
top: 190px;
left: 230px;
width:70%;
height:72%;
}
#mainContentArea{
z-index:12;
position:absolute;
overflow:auto;
overflow-x:hidden;
width: 67%;
height: 68%;
top:205px;
left:246px;
text-align:left;
font-family:Tahoma;
font-size:10.0pt;
visibility:visible;
}
There are two anomalies which I think might be bugs in IE's implementation of CSS, and I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice as to how to get around them. The first problem is that, when going to highlight text in the main content area, all objects on the page are selected, rather than just the intended text. The second anomaly is that, when using the mouse wheel to scroll down in the mainContentArea div when there's overflow, the cursor needs to be hovering over text. If it's hovering over any place with a "hole" in it, such as the space between paragraphs, then it will not scroll. Everything works fine in Firefox. You can see what I'm talking about he http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~jbeard4/lepdev If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Thanks! -Jake Hey, at my site: http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products in IE/6 I am having a problem with the last side box in the left column. You can see a gap between the link to conditions of use and the curved bottom of the box. Anyone see where this is coming from? Thanks, Ryan If you see on http://promogift.be/index.php?page=producten the first 4 products are like it must be, but from 5 and more it makes a different jump, i don't get it why, IE show it good... I searching for 2 days now and don't get it, anyone a solution? Hey guys, First post here. I've scoured the web for answers, searched this forum, and visited many CSS sites (alistapart, maxdesign.com.au, positioniseverything, htmldog, etc.) and haven't seen a problem like this. I'm learning CSS as we speak (or more correctly, as I type), and here's the issue. I have a space between my #header and #page. I can't get rid of it unless I put a border around the #page. I've posted four screens here so you can see what's going on in Safari and Firefox (the two browsers I use). #1 is what the site looks like now (as the code is below). #2 is with the #header removed, #3 is with the #header removed and a 1px border put around the #page, and #4 is with the #header there and the #page has a 1px border. It seems to me that the #page has a top margin, and I've tried margin-top: 0px; and tons of other combos, but I can't get that space to go away unless I put a border around #page. Here's my css: Code: /* basic elements */

I'm having a slight problem with the appearance of the border for the DIV below the navigation bar. Firefox runs the border through the entire width of the DIV, but IE stops the bottom border as soon as the last <LI> is reached.. Any ideas guys?

Hello, I'm about to go absolutely crazy; I just can't seem to get a grasp on laying out a simple webpage with css. So I have this div container, #main, and in it I want two more div's left and right. I set the margin-top:20px on the left div and that works fine. Then I set the margin-top:20px on the right div and I get a 40px margin-top on the left and 20px margin-top on the right. The frustrating thing is that dreamweaver displays it the way I want to but chrome, IE, and opera do not. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict 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>Untitled Document</title> <link href="global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="banner"></div> <div id="nav"> </div> <!-- #main is a wrapper for the page content --> <div id="main"> <div id="maincontent">this is a test </div> <div id="sideright"></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> css Code: Original - css Code @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ body { background-color:#063; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center; } #wrapper { text-align: left; width: 860px; height: 600px; border: solid #000 3px; background-color:#693; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; } #banner { width: 860px; height: 120px; background-image: url(images/banner860120.jpg); } #nav { width: 860px; height: 34px; background-color:#663; } #main { width: 860px; height: 446px; } #maincontent { margin-top: 20px; float: left; margin-left: 20px; background-color:#663; width: 500px; height: 380px; border: 4px double #FFF; color: #FFF; } #sideright { margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 540px; width: 300px; height: 380px; background-color: #663; } @charset "utf-8"; I know this code is likely sloppy, but apparently it passed the css validation . I would be very grateful if someone could help me out. |
