CSS - Float And Widths In Firefox And Ie
I am having an issue with a div that I am trying to float and set the width of. The page works fine in Firefox, but in IE it doesn't display correctly,
Here is the pertinent code, <div id="textbar" class="sidebar" style="width:175px;"> <div id="handle"> <a href="#"><img src="http://swvtc06/swvtc/images/collapse.jpg" border="0" alt="Click to Collapse the Navigation Bar" onclick="sidebar()" /></a> </div> <div id="sbText" style="display:block;"> <!--#include virtual="/swvtc/include/nav_test.htm" --> <!--#include virtual="/swvtc/include/smweather.asp" --> </div> </div> Here is the CSS for the #handle div, #handle { float:right; width:9px; } In Firefox, the handle div is correctly inline with the background graphic. In IE, the handle div is about 9 pixels to the left of where it should be. We are in the ancient times, we still are mandated to be using IE 6, so that is where I am having the problems. Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Drew Similar Tutorialshttp://whittierpunks.com/test/bio.html and stylesheet In the CENTER <div>, I want to have some text, with an image floated to the right. It's basic; there is no problem with an internal stylesheet (like the example at w3c)...but as you can see from my exapmle, its not doing that at all. And I'm not sure where the problem lies Could someone show me how to correct this? Many thanks, Hi, I'm Currently Redesigning my site Here And it all looks perfect in IE but when i go onto FireFox it looks mostly the same. Just One Problem The Menu At The Top, The Widths And There Is Gaps. Ive Been Working Hard And Cant Seem To Find The Problem. Heres The CSS for the whole menu: Code:

I Just Cant Seem To Find Out What To Do, Please Could SomeOne Help, Thanks In Advance, Jamie I'm having a problem with CSS widths on Firefox. My website, http://www.freefootball.org looks good in IE7 but when I look at it in Firefox, the main div on the left gets pushed down. I'm using a conditional CSS statement to get it working in IE which works well so its the #maincontentdiv that is the problem. My code for the divs in question is below. Any ideas on how to fix this? Code: }#ffsquaread {
display: block;
width: 270px;
text-align: center;
float: right;
margin-top: 10px;
}
#ffmaincontent {
float: left;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 1.3em;
color: #000000;
display: block;
}
html>body #ffmaincontent {
float: left;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 1.3em;
color: #000000;
display: block;
width: 80%;
}
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. Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Please look at this page - http://www.eagletransmission.net/testimonials.asp In IE7 I have the main navigation alignment as I want it to be. BUt in Firefox the links do not align correctly. For example please look at the link for Affiliates. In Firefox it is pushed to the right instead of centered where it should be. Thanks. I seem to have an issue with the float parameter in Firefox. If you look at the following URL in IE, it should display fine, but in firefox the container doesn't expand to hold the div's within, as they're floated. I've seen other people use floats just fine in firefox, but it doesnt' seem to work for me.. http://www.arestaenterprise.com/enf/ Any help is appreciated Thanks! After hours of Google searching and working to find a solution, this is my last gasp. I'll qualify it by saying I'm a casual hobbiest, not a pro at all. In plain text, my problem is that I have a string of boxes I want to appear side-by-side...float: left. In firefox, on a hard refresh, these elements don't appear side-by-side, but on top of each other. It works just fine in IE. Example... Should be: 1 2 Is: 1 2 Below is my code. To see the problem in action, http://www.mcconaha.com Also, the code isn't great, and I know that. I'm building everything now, but can't get past this problem. Code: body{

I cannot figure this out. I have tried striping out everything out to see if I could figure out what was causing it -- I can't. This one part is not working - everything else is fine. When I take this out I have no problems. Basically, i'm trying to have an image with text next to it (without it wrapping around the image). In IE it works. In Firefox the text drops below the image. Here is the code stripped out. Unfortunately, I cannot access and FTP to upload this - but I don't think that should matter. Please, What am I doing wrong?

I've only just started using CSS rather than tables. The title bit is ok. The problem is the main <div>. In Firefox l can't seem to get the two divs (grouptitle1 & grouptitle2) to float side by side. The only way l can do it is by setting grouptitle2 to a certain width. But l want grouptitle2 to fill the remaining width of the screen whatever size the browser is and not be a set width. Is there any way so that l can make the two divs appear side by side without adding a width to the grouptitle2?? here's a working version: Clicky Hi, I have been beating my head against the wall here. My video position in firefox shows up over top of my other nested divs/classes. www.binaryshopper.com The site renders perfect in IE. When you spend more time on CSS than programming, something is wrong! I love CSS but it still doesn't do what it was intended to do. After years of CSS, you still have better control over layout using crappy tables!! Can someone please help me here before I start shooting Firefox developers? Hi, I have been a CSS/XHTML developer for about 6 months now and I just came accross a problem that I have had difficulty solving... I have spent about a week on this problem, and still no luck... I kind of restarted too with no luck... I am thinking this may be a bug... But it works fine in IE... In firefox, the content division background does not continue, instead a footer background is moved up... This is so weird, I dont know how this can be possible... This has been extremely frustrating... If anyone can help, that would be great! Thanks a lot! This is my code essentially: <div id="bottom"> <div style="float:left">store hours</div> <img src="map"> <div style="float:right">contact info</div> </div> It looks fine in Safari but it messed up in Firefox. I fixed it a bit by adding overflow:auto to the parent item (bottom div), so it actually has the red background and doesn't collapse. I haven't yet uploaded that fix yet as the problem still isn't solved. Now the div is expanding too much because the 3 items aren't being displayed inline. In firefox the image is pushing the first div beneath it. Any solutions please? subject 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.

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 {

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> q)When creating webpages with css , are you supposed to use pixels or % for page widths? If I use pixels then i create for a 800X600 screen only, but it won't look messy when screen resized which I prefer. |
