CSS - Css Over Different Browsers

My web site (URL address blocked: See forum rules) is causing me problems with CSS since I have reworked it.
If you look at my web pages in Internet Explorer they look perfect. In Firefox when loading some of the pages the top logo blinks and takes a few seconds to load. In Opera some pages move slightly to the right.
I know the problem is related to the length of the center div but I have no idea how to fix this unless I make the small centers longer.
Also my previous version of this site just used one image. Logo.gif was in the background.
I have put Logo.gif in the header and have used GREEN.jpg as my background now.

I'm in the process of revamping my website and am trying to use css to position things. I've used browsershots to view what the website looks like in different browsers and platforms. All is well with one exception, IE6! Grrr.

Now I'm a total css newbie so what I'm doing wrong is probably painfully obvious to you guys, but I've been beating my head against this for a while now and would appreciate it if someone could take a look over my shoulder and see if they can spot the problem.

If you use IE6 you'll notice that the featured products are listed below the last 'service ad' image instead of at the top of that 'column' even with the first 'serivce ad' image.

Again, any help in diagnosing/fixing this issue is greatly appreciated!

Here's a link to the page:

http://www.decaldepot.net/zencart/index.php

I have a three column (25% - 50% - 25%) page layout via CSS which works perfect in IE. But it does not work in Firefox. Here is my CSS code.

#leftColumn {
float:left;
width:25%;
margin: 5px 3px 0px;
padding: 0;
}
* html #leftColumn {
width:25%;
}

#rightColumn {
float:right;
width:25%;
margin: 5px 2px 0px 3px;
padding: 0;
}
* html #rightColumn {
width:25%;
}

#main3Column {
margin:5px 25% 5px 25%;
padding: 0;
/* 50% or auto or no width does not work in IE.
100% here is the remaining of the available after left and right columns */
width:100%;
}

The ID 'main3Column' is for the middle column. Width: 100% works fine in IE as it excludes 25% for left and 25% for right and 100% of whatever remaining for the middle column.

But in Firefox, middle column is taking 100% of the screen width instead of the remaining after left and right columns.

Is it possible to come up with a code which works for both IE and CSS ? Please help.

I've been having a hard time with browser compatibility and I need a bit of help. This is what I'm trying to acheive. It's a link bar on top and then a page that contains left and right headers, dividers and content plus a footer (height is not an issue right now). I would like the #page to have a 2px border and every element inside to have a white 2px padding.
It seems that in IE, if I set #page with a 2px padding, I get exactly what I want but Firefox does not interpret it the same way. Is there a hack/workaround for this. I've attacned a picture of what I'm trying to get at.

Thanks

I have a small box displayed at the top of the page for an "anouncment column". Opera and IE show it properly, sort of, and NEtscape/mozilla show it further down the page. I want it to be at the VERY top of the page, IE/Opera show it a few px down and mozilla/netscape show it a good 10+ down. I have tried playing with padding and it made no difference. These browsers are the new versions.

any ideas?

Code:

<div style="position: absolute; left: 617px; top; 0px; width: 147px; height: 30px; background-color: transperant; padding: 0px;">
<h5>text is here</h5>

Hi All,

Just in the middle of designing a website for my personal hobbies.

I have used alot of CSS to create the layout of the page.

The problem being it looks perfect in Firefox, Opera, Seamonkey etc etc BUT NOT IE!!!

In IE it is all over the place, nothing is where it should be.

I checked my CSS against w3 validator, and it came back with a few errors, so i decided to fix them... it then looked even worse... in ALL BROWSERS! So i decided to go back to how i had it originally.

The site in question is my username.

You can access the css stylesheet file by adding /test.css to the end of the domain name.

Any information, or anyone else had problem like this?

All the best for now,

Mike

good day

looking for some css that is compeltely compatable among all major browsers.. namely firefox, ie, safari, and opera.. i've been searching all over the net and forums for css, but cant find any..

i just want a simple 3 column layout, with the middle column being auto width, and left and right fixed width.. can someone point me in the right direct?

Hi all,

I seem to be stumped on something that is probably simple. At this test site you'll notice the left nav area as well as the text content area.

I am trying to set it up so that both are 6 pixels below the header image. Obviously, then they would be even with each other.

Everything I've tried has come close but never right in both FF & IE. Could someone please give me a hand with this?

Thanks!

Chris

I have been searching/googling and whilst i have found people saying there is a difference in how browsers (IE, FF etc) display fonts, i have yet to find an answer that works.

I have tried the giving body tag "font-size 100%;" method but it doesnt work... some people have said to use px as disabled people will probably override this with their own stylesheets...

Hi,
I have been thinking about this cross browser problem. Is there a list of things that FireFox can do and IE can't (plus other browsers) in CSS.
It would be great if somewhere on the net there would be a list of these things so i could use it as a cross refferance.
.

At the mo i just use trial and error but th\at means spending hours to get designs just right

Thanks

Hello,
With following css for header

Code:

div#header{
	height:75px;
	background-color:#ffffcc;
}

I am getting three different views in IE, FF, Opera. In IE entire background color is pale yellow, In FF only the line is pale yellow. In opera line and area below it is pale yellow.
Here goes goes html.
Code:

<div id="header">
  <h3 align = "center">Welcome to <b>Your Space</b></h3>
</div>

What is going wrong here?
Thank you.

I hate it when browsers jump when the scrollbar appears on a longer page. Is there any way to force scrollbars to stay on the page on all browsers?

I'm about to begin designing a site, and I thought, since an external css file is only downloaded once, to make it easier to browse the site after everything has been loaded on the index(having all the images on the style be inserted through CSS), including headers navigation and such. But then I thought about compatitbility for gecko browsers, which don't display images. Instead the show the alt text. So my question is, is there any way to apply alt text for images displayed through CSS?

Maybe in the div that the image is in I was wondering, I'm not entirely sure. And thought I'd ask.

The state titles are nice and bold on my mac browsers -- however, pc browsers won't make them bold. Here is a link to a windows xp screenshot: http://www.browsercam.com/projects/199027/3899787.jpg

Any ideas?

Hi,

I have made a nice form that is looks fine in FireFox though when I change it to IE the textarea gets larger and makes the form miss shapened and not inline with the input boxes I have created. Is there any to make the form that I have created look the same on both browsers?

The code that I currently have is:

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

html, body {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

label,input {
	display: block;
	width: 150px;
	float: left;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
}

textarea {
	display: block;
	width: 150px;
	float: left;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
}

label {
	text-align: right;
	width: 75px;
	padding-right: 20px;
}

br {
	clear: left;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<form>

	<label for="name">Name</label>
	<input id="name" name="name"><br>

	<label for="address">Address</label>
	<input id="address" name="address"><br>

	<label for="email">Email</label>
	<input id="email" name="email"><br>
	
	<label for="message">Message</label>
	<textarea name="message" rows="10"</textarea><br />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks for any help guys
