CSS - Ie Issues With Content Overflowing Div
On the this page you will notice the ASDF overflowing into the footer if you resize the page to 1024x768 size.
I'm trying to keep the footer on the bottom but the content still seems to creep into the footer? Any ideas? This only happens in IE 6 and 7, FF seems to handle it just fine. I w3c checked everything, html is good to go, css has some warnings but nothing that I seem to have to worry about. Any help is greatly appreciated. Similar TutorialsHello everyone, I am pretty new to css but have code from various css sites that have used to get the layout i wanted. I am having an issue with IE7. In IE8 and Chrome everything is working like intended. The link to the page in question is philadler.com/dance09.html I have validated the CSS and xhmtl and the page passed both. Can anyone tell my why in IE7 the content is overflowing into the right column, but in the other 2 browsers i have tested it works fine. Also, does anyone know of a good photo gallery. Some of the events i will be putting have hundreds of pictures is there an auto formating or auto coding gallery that will look at the folder of the pictures and at it to the gallery? Thanks for any help Phil Greetings, I have a 3 column layout with a header, nav bar, content space and footer on the center column, making the center column have 4 rows. The content div's height is set to auto and it's overflow to auto so that when the browser is maximized on higher resolutions it will expand and contain the text without a scrollbar. alternatively it will give a scroll bar if the content div is shrunk below 300px. however the auto height on the content div is causing it to take up more room than necessary. if the window is shrunken down, the content text will leak out over the footer bar and beyond. Before i post code does anyone have any suggestions on what i should be looking for? If code is wanted lemme know. 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'm not saying my code is correct and that the browsers are not displaying it properly. I know I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what. Any suggestions? Hello, I'm relatively new to using CSS as the foundation of a site, as i've only ever built sites for family/work etc using tables. I have used it previously for styling and so on, but not as intensively as i now am. It's great, but a couple of issues are giving me a headache - the fun of web design, hey?... I'm experiencing two problems, and have spent a lot of time describing them (with examples and images) on the following page - fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm - not wanting to clutter up the forum with my explanations and too many images. The first is to do with the 100% height trick - my "wrapper" div is not expanding with my "content" div - but i do not believe faux columns are possible for my design (if someone proves me wrong, great!) as i don't have two full height columns, but one content column and a vertical menu div... The second issues is with a Horizontal menu i am using as main navigation. In both FireFox & Chrome, the menu shifts down so the text links are unreadable unless hovered over. In IE, it's positioned as i want (with Comp View Settings turned on for IE8). So, if anyone could shed come light on my problems, i'd love to hear some ideas. The full explanation, complete with working examples and images (as well as my code) can be seen at fnb4wd.com.au/4x4wh/help/help.htm. Thanks in advance, Azerus85 I used the following code to hide overflowing content in one of my earlier works. Not working this time, check it yourself (purple section), http://www.refinethetaste.com/html/ Code:
<style>
.playlist { float:left; width:474px; height:80px; background:#FFF; overflow:hidden; }
.playlist .entries { position:absolute; width:10000em; }
.playlist .entries a { float:left; width:452px; height:60px; font-size:9px; padding:10px; background:#90F;}
.playlist .entries a:hover { background-position:-211px 0; color:#000; }
.playlist .entries a.playing { background-position:-422px 0; }
.playlist .entries a.paused { background-position:-633px 0; }
.playlist .entries a.progress { opacity:0.8; }
/* prev, next, prevPage and nextPage buttons */
a.prev, a.next, a.prevPage, a.nextPage { float:left; width:20px; height:60px; margin:15px 0; background:url(/html/themes/default/images/home_carousel_arrow_left.png) no-repeat; display:block; cursor:pointer;}
/* mouseover state */
a.prev:hover, a.next:hover, a.prevPage:hover, a.nextPage:hover { background-position:0px -18px; }
/* disabled navigational button */
a.disabled { visibility:hidden !important; }
/* next button uses another background image */
a.next, a.nextPage { background-image:url(/html/themes/default/images/home_carousel_arrow_right.png); }

The page renders as thought in FireFox, but in IE, the DIV containers expand to the width of the white DIV. I want the page to render in IE exactly as it does in FireFox, but I am at a loss to try and do it. I have nested tables and when an inner table has margin-left: 50px and width: 100%, the inner table overflows the outer table. The problem occurs with IE6 and Opera 7 (didn't test with Opera 8). Here is the code: Code: <style type="text/css">
table.cmnt
{
border-collapse: collapse;
margin-top: 8px;
border: 1px solid black;
width:100%;
text-align: left;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
}
</style>
<table border="1" width="70%" cellpadding="7">

<table class="cmnt" cellpadding="3">

Correct rendering with Firefox: Incorrect rendering with IE: (the images are cropped) Any ideas how to fix this? Hey it's a Friday night and I'm having the worst problems with IE. My page looks ok in FF and Safari but in IE the body is overflowing by like 350px or so. I don't know why it's doing this. I've used my Firebug but it doesn't really style that overflow section. It's like a ghost section. Doc type is XHTML strict, here's the pertinent CSS. Thanks for any help you can offer. This is kind of ruining my friday night. Code:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
background: #000 url('img/mainbg.jpg') top left repeat-x;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin:0;
height: 1200px;
}
#icontainer {
background-image: url('img/containerbg.jpg');
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
width: 974px;
height: 1200px;
}
#plain {
background-image: url('img/plainback.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-top: 0;

I'm kinda new to css and trying to do this layout with CSS looks ok it IE but I cant get Netscape containers to expand. http://countrystampinangel.com/test.html http://countrystampinangel.com/test.css I'm having a problems with a form overflowing it's containing div Link removed The html: Code:
<div id="mainbody">
<h2>Manage Double rooms by day</h2>
<br/>
<form name="list" id = "calendarmonth" action="" method="post">
....
</form>
<form name="list" id="#updatedays" action="updatewebroomdays.php" method="post">
...
</form>
</div>
Code: #mainbody {
padding:0;
margin: 4em;
position:relative;
}
#content {
position:relative;
background-color:#ffffff;
margin-top: -1em;
}
I can fix it buy adding another div around the containting div, like this Code: <div id="content">
<div id="mainbody">
<h2>Manage Double rooms by day</h2>
<br/>
<form name="list" id = "calendarmonth" action="" method="post">
....
</form>
<form name="list" id="#updatedays" action="updatewebroomdays.php" method="post">
...
</form>
</div>
</div>
.... but I don't know why this fixes it and what I'm doing wrong... Thanks James I am constructing a new website and need help preventing the header text from overflowing. I have tried combinations of overflow:hidden; but does not seem to work. The site is here. Advice on how I can prevent overflow for FFox, IE6/7 appreciated. Hi, I am really stuck and need some help. I have created an alphabet of links across the top of a page. The mark up is like this; <div id="alphabet"> <a href="#">a</a> <a href="#">b</a> ... </div> Along with an Eric Meyer reset.css stylesheet it has the following CSS applied; #alphabet{ width: 940px; margin: 0 auto;} #alphabet a { text-decoration: none; color: #757575; font-size: 20px; margin: 5px 5px; padding: 5px 5px; border: 1px dashed #757575;} #alphabet a:hover { color: #333; border: 1px solid #333; } #alphabet a.current-letter{ background: #545353; color: #ffe224; font-weight:600;} The problem I have is that the #alphabet container only has the height of links' text. It does not included the padding, margin or border. Therefore if I apply a background to #alphabet the links' top and bottom borders appear outside of the div. I have tried adding overflow: hidden/auto but that only resulted in making the bit outside the div disappear. Anyone got any ideas???

Hi, I am having a strange issue with my new site code . I am experimenting with a new look and decided to go with all css, no tables look. I have a div where the enteries go. I entered some random text to see how it looks. To my surprise in Mozilla 1.7.10 the text overflows from the entry div into the other one while it works fine in Internet Explorer ( the post box expands automatically to fit all the text). Second the in the commentsarea div, why is the "comments(1) floating in the middle of the entry box instead of the bottm right ? here is the code in question Code:

Thanks Damnit. Differing browser box models piss me off. I guess thats what you get for being a web developer, where someone can use 6+ different programs to run your code. I just started doing design with divs instead of tables and man what a PITA. I really like the idea of "building blocks" tho (and I really hate the inflexibility of tables), so I'm trying to grind through it. Its a small project, however, so I havent really been able to test cross-browser compatibility too much. I'm running into a strange error in IE (sidenote: the page does seem to be handled correctly in Opera (though Firefox jacks the page up totally)). Anyways, I have a series of nested divs (to emulate the structure of a table). Everything looks fine until I start messing around with divs with a display of 'none'. When I insert a div (or set a current div's) with display = 'none', part of the form input text will "flow over" outside of the div. In the pictured example, "Zachary Wedgeworth" is the last entry in the selectbox. There is no code / html after that selectbox, but as you can see, "Wedgeworth" appears after it! It isnt even able to be highlighted! The second line of the form contains a div with style='display:none'. If there's no div containing anything to do with display, this "overflow" error doesnt occur. There should be no difference in inserting a non-displayed div vs. never putting the div in the code at all, but (in IE at least), there is. stupid & frustrating. Has anyone run into this problem or have any idea why this might be occuring? Its already stumped a couple fellow programmers. Hi, I'm new to CSS and haven't been able to get this working. I have two layers, one for an image, and another for text that goes on top. The text is supposed to be centered and the image should be centered wrt the text. The problem is that sometimes a word in the text will be too long and there's overflow. When this happens, the image stays on the left and the text box gets larger. This way the image isn't right behind the center of the text. I tried using overflow: visible but this didn't change anything. Thanks for any help. If you are getting results as in the above image, simply add "clear:both;" to the container (blue) div which you do not want affected and it will flatten its ceiling and stop any float's escaping. -Luke ok at Rodoslovlje I have an issue. The menu on the left is most of the times longer then the right content part. Is there a way to fix that when this occurs I can make the right part move along without editing every page and hitting enter 20 times? Thnx 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. |
