CSS - Css Div Height Issue In Firefox

Please look at this page -

http://www.nationwidetranny.com/testimonials.asp

The issue is obvious, the image(s) in div.testimonial go outside the div when what i want is that the div expands. The image is floated, might that be part of the issue. Any help would be appreicated so much. Thanks.


Code:

div.testimonial{
position:relative;
width:667px;
min-height:200px;
padding:20px 0 30px 0;
background: transparent url(../images/testimonial_div_bg.gif) repeat-y;
font-style:oblique;
}
.testimonial_footer_bg{
position:absolute;bottom:0;left:-1px;clear:left;background: transparent url(../images/testimonial_div_footer.gif) no-repeat;width:667px;height:16px;
}
div.testimonial div.picture{
float:left;
margin:3px 13px 0 17px;
}
div.testimonial p{
margin:0 0 0 320px !important;
width:320px;
padding:0 !important;
}
div.testimonial p.nopic3{
margin:0 0 0 17px !important;
width:600px;
}

Hie all,

I m stuck with the min-height issue in IE. my requirement is to have div to be atleast 100% in height but not limited to 100% if the page has a vertical scrollbar.

If i give out something

Code:

#pageSround
{	
	width:1004px;	
	background: url(../images/bg_main.gif) repeat-y 800px 0px; 
	background-color: red	;
	min-height:100%;
	height:auto !important;	
}

this works good in FF as it shows the page to be atleast 100% when there is no scrollbar and expands the RED color to the bottom of the page if there is a scrollbar.

The above thing doesn't work in IE though. I found a fast hack for IE min-height issue here

http://www.dustindiaz.com/min-height-fast-hack/

but it doesn't work for me. or may be i m not giving the height attribute. How do i solve it. kindlgy post links or ur valuable comments.

Thankyou

Hi guys,

I am not sure if any of you have experience this issue.
The layout of my page from top to bottom is
header (always stays at the top of browser)
content
footer (always stays at the bottom)

the page looks perfect under ie7 firefox and ie6 if at full screen mode.
but when i smaller the browser ie6 footer covers up my content which means i can't scroll right to the bottom of my content.
the footer seems overlapping the content.

any suggestion about how to fix this problem?

I have a div in my header that contains an image. The height of the image is 82px. For some reason in firefox (and chrome too) if I don't set the div height to 125px it gets cut off. It looks OK in IE6 without the height set, but with it set as needed for firefox it then creates a space in IE.
My header file has:
Code:

<div id= "logo" ><img src = "images/logo_LWV.gif"></div>

	<div id = "topNav">
		
		<div id = "topNavMenu">
		&nbsp;&nbsp;
		<a class = "top" href="index.php">Home</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
		<a class = "top" href="about.php">About Us</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
		<a class = "top" href="join.php">Join</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
		<a class = "top" href="funds.php">Special Funds</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
		<a class = "top" href="contact.php">Contact</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
		</div>  <!-- end topNavMenu -->

	</div>  <!-- end topNav -->

</div> <!-- end topBar -->

<div id = "imagebar"><img src = "images/lwvCorvallis.jpg"></div>
 
<div id = "greenbar"> 
	  <div id = "pagetitle">
                 <p>Title</p>
	  </div><!-- end pagetitle -->
</div> <!-- end greebar -->

and the css is:
Code:

#topbar
{
dispaly:block; width: 800px;
}

#logo
{
float:left;

}

#topNav
{
float:right;
width: 612px;
height: 65px;
background-color:#cc0033;
}

#topNavMenu
{
position:relative; top:40px;
text-align:left;
color: white;
}

#imagebar
{
display:block;
width: 800px; height:125px;
}
#greenbar
{
display:block;
width: 800px; height: 90px; 
background: url(images/greenbar.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat;
z-index: 0;
}

#pagetitle
{
position:relative; left: 200px;top:25px;
width: 600px; 
color: white;
z-index: 1;
}

The site is he
http://www.lwv.corvallis.or.us/
What's going on?

Hi,

I'm having problems with FireFox (or rather it's having problems with my coding).

If you go to he

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/...&usermedium=all

It's all valid css but http://www.wnv2.com/v11.php shows up funny in FF but looks great in IE/Maxthon.

View course for html, but the css code is in the validation link,

Any help would be great!

Thanks

If you check out my site:

ConnectBasic

It shows fine in IE, but not in FF. The two side gradiants at either side of the box right at the top are made within a div tag, with the height set to 100% so they should be the height of the whole box (Down to where the bottom dotted line is), but in firefox this doesn't work, anyone know why?

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with this test version of a site I'm creating. It looks fine in IE (though I have to properly align some text etc), but in Firefox the footer overlaps the main content paragraphs and the intended content background (the subtle paper texture) doesn't stretch vertically as intended. I've tried a couple of things including adding height:100% to the content div and its parent divs as I think other tutorials were getting at, but to no avail. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help or pointers you can give me!

I am in the process of replacing a totally table generated web page with one using CSS. This seems to be fairly straightforward except that I'm having an issue that seems to be backwards from what I see when I lookup the issue.

In this case, I have an outerbox div that is supposed to contain the entire content and be a minimum of a certain size. If the content within the outerbox is longer, then I need it to expand to match.

This is working on MSIE7, but not in Firefox 2 which is the backwards part.

I've stripped out a lot of the extra stuff to show the outerbox, a few inner boxes and a example of where the content is going past the end of the minimal size.

Sample Page:

http://www.zipturtle.org/test.php

Associated CSS:

http://www.zipturtle.org/test.css

At this point, I've tried a number of changes and nothing has worked. I've tried some of the hacks like:

PHP Code:
 selector {
      min-height:500px;
      height:auto !important;
      height:500px;
    } 





But that didn't seem to work either.

I have not been able to "see" what this looks like with MSIE6 as I don't have access to it, so it is plasible that while it looks okay in MSIE7 it does something similar as my Firefox is showing.

On the sample page above, the text in the main body of the document with the Arff's in it, is longer than the normal minimum height. In Firefox it is extending beyond the outside box where in MSIE7 is is working as I would expect.

Sorry if this is a common problem. I tried a search but didn't find anything that seemed helpful.

I've got "frame" (not a <frame>) around the content of my site and I need this frame to expand vertically if necessary, according to the content. I've done this by having a 1px high image, set to 100% height and an exact pixel width.

The frame is a table, three cells wide, with the side images in the two outermost cells and the content in the central cell. It's the side images that cause a problem.

What I've got works fine in Firefox but in IE6, the sides of the frame don't display, or the image displays but doesn't stretch (I can't tell 'cos the images are only 1px high).

Here's the basic table layout:

Code:

<table id="frameTable" border="0">
<tr>
 <td>
  <img id="FrameLeftImg" src="resource/frameleft.png" />
 </td>
 <td>
  <?php /*Add constructed page data*/ ?></td>
 <td>
  <img id="FrameRightImg" src="resource/frameright.png"/>
 </td>
</tr>
</table>

And here's the CSS for the side images:

Code:

#FrameLeftImg {
	position: relative;
	width: 26px;
	height:100%;
	}
	
#FrameRightImg {
	position: relative;
	width: 28px;
	height:100%;
	}

The table is contained in a div that is absolutely positioned by pixels but has no value specified for width and height.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I noticed that in Firefox, setting the height to 100% in the style tag attribute, does not work.

See code below:

Can anyone suggest a solution?

For some reason my code adds a vertical scrollbar in firefox (although not in IE but you can make anything work in IE).

I am not sure why. The scroll amount is only 1 pixel vertically. Everything looks good to me. Any ideas?

PHP Code:

Hello,

I would like to know how to do this:

I have a fixed-size div and several inner divs in it, positioned vertically (on top of each other). I want the last div's size to be equal to the size of the fixed-size div minus all the other divs (currently, one other div).

Example: I have a form, which has a certain height. The form has a header and a section (div) with 3 inner checkbox divs (columns), and I want the checkbox divs to scroll if they overflow the main div and in effect the parent div.

Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

EDIT:

Here is a live example. (in this example, there's an extra div within the child div holding the checkboxes) Currently, instead of the desired solution each checkbox div is 70% of the height of the main parent.

pictures.php?width=800&height=1118&picturediv_height=366&pngalt=.png&js=1&action=search

EDIT2: I changed the structure of the site and the page link as well, and you can't see the temp. fix in Firefox and possibly in IE7 (tested in IE6).

EDIT3: Anyone?

Hi,

Im trying to make a simple bar with text in the center. Im having a lot of problems with it however, because its height is 50px not 25px. The bars in question are the ones that say "Description, Payment" etc

I started by setting its height to 25px in the CSS but this didnt work. Ive tried adding padding: 0px to what I thought was the relevant tag, but this doesnt change it either!

This is the address to the test page:

This is the code:

Ive put it through a validator, now it validates, but it still doesnt work. I believe the tag in question is c14 and c2.

I know this problem has been seen hundreds of times when you have floated columns and you want them to be the same height so that the background graphic is continuous down to the foot of the page. Well, I've got a slight variant on that:

http://216.120.243.161/~h****ins/browse2.php

(if the url doesn't show above it's because the name of the site happens to contain the letters d i c and k next to each other!)

I have 4 columns of floated boxes, (row number varies) and after every four boxes (they are floated to the left) there is a br that clears them, and a new row starts underneath.

My database system would allow the boxes to actually be quite tall if the name was the full 255 characters. So, I don't want to set a height for them, as most would look silly.

I could do a faux-columns style background, but that requires more elements.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, but in the end, I may have to use tables (Nooooo...! ;-) )

Thanks,

Hi,

any help is appreciated.

thanks
