CSS - Subnavs Dont Seem To Appear?

Hi all,
http://www.zitrote.com/forum/index.php?act=viewforum&f=4

if you see there in IE the two borders on the right dont appear in the topic listing but in FF they do??

i have two css boxes on the company lan, and for one person the two boxes wont appear? is this a problem with internet explorer?

ok, so lets say i have two <div>s. the parent, i want to be a tad translucent, but the child i don't want to be. is there anyway i can stop that opacity property from cascading?

example:
Code:

<style>
#div1 {filter: alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity: .5; }
#div2 {propery:value; blah blah blah}
</style>

<div id="div1">
     <div id="div2">
          Some text and content here
     </div>
</div>

thanks!

later

Hello. I designed my site using Ie, and an now getting some complaints from members who are switching to firefox. I am a total CSS newbie and I don't know exactly where to begin to troubleshoot this.

URL

thats the page, you will need to use
username: css
password: test

It looks fine in IE6, but doesnt look ok in firefox.

The CSS stylesheet is at URL

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hey guys, I missed a day of my XHTML class in college and he went over most of the CSS that day, I was sick with the flu and he said that day was the most important, so I'm lost, I need to "Remove any <b>, <i>, <u> and <font> tags and replace them with inline CSS code."

So i come up with something like this

<Style Type="css/text">
<B style="color:blue> This is my display text </b>
</style>

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS INLINE CSS! HELP! I'M LOSTTTT!

I have read several books on CSS. For the life of me I still cant understand why some things do the things they do.

For example, I still dont understand float. Even though I have read for literally hours about floats, I still dont understand why sometimes it goes one place and sometimes it goes another. Whenever I use tables, I feel as though I can place anything anywhere and know that it will always be there, regardless of the browser.

For example, yesterday I spent 30 minutes reading through a tutorial about css navigation in horizonal format. I did it successfully. However, I wanted it to be centered on the page. No matter what changes I made in the CSS for the list, ul, link, etc it would not center on the page. I spent another 45 minutes trying to get it to center on the page. Once I did (wrapped the list in a DIV) then I refreshed the page and the background, which is black was through the page horizontally to each of the nav links instead of a white background like the content portion of the page. A whole new headache. I fixed that by putting the div and nav list in a table with a white background (fixed).

I then check it in internet explorer and the list is not horizontal but vertical. It keep the same look of the nav list links, but is vertical. NOW I have to "hack" my CSS to make it more compliant with an older version of IE?

I just don't understand why so many people think CSS is superior to tables. I understand tables were never designed for, well, designing pages, but for whatever reason, maybe because I am old school, but I find them so much easier to work with. I can never get the outcome I want with CSS and when I do it hardly ever looks the same across multiple browsers.

I want to learn CSS. I want to understand why it is better. Most importantly I want to know how to code in it and if something looks wrong that I know the exact line in the CSS to work with to fix it. I am now just editing line by line to see if I get a change or outcome I want.

Any suggestions? Tutorials? This is driving me nuts.

Ok If you go to:

http://www.zahra-zahra.com/innerPage.html

if you hover over the side menu (sub/subcontact)which are supposed to be nested lists.. you will see some alignment issue with the pink and the brown-ish..

also the nested list was moved a bit forward so i added margin:-0.5em; but IE doesnt like it and has moved the li further back..
relevant code:
PHP Code:
#sideMenu {
    margin-top:0.2em;
    float:left;
    clear:left;
    width:24%;
}
#sideMenu ul {
    float:left;
    width:100%;
    list-style:none;
    margin:0em;
    padding:0em;    
}
#sideMenu li {
    clear:left;
    background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLi.jpg);
    padding:0.4em;
    margin-bottom:0.1em;
}
#sideMenu ul li ul {    
    margin:-0.5em;
    padding:0em;
    margin-top:0.3em;
    padding-top:0.2em;
    padding-bottom:0.2em;
}
#sideMenu ul li ul li {
    width:100%;
    background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLiLi.jpg);
}
#sideMenu a {
    text-indent:0em;
    text-decoration:none;
    color:#663333;
    margin-left:0em;
    font-size:1em;    
}
.nestedList a {
    text-indent:0em;
    padding:0.3em;
    padding-left:3em;
}
.nestedList a:hover {
    background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLiLiHover.jpg);
    background-position: -0.4em 0em; 
} 





HTML

PHP Code:
<div id="sideMenu">
        <ul>                
                <li><a href="">Contact</a>
                    <ul class="nestedList">
                        <li><a href="">sub</a></li>
                        <li><a href="">SUBcontact</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="">Return</a></li>
                <li><a href="">News</a></li>
                <li><a href="">FAQ</a></li>
                <li><a href="">bout us</a></li>
                <li><a href="">Home</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div> 





just a side question i have in the above code a nested class.. why cant i do something like

.nestedList ul {

}

i tried that but it didnt work...

I have CSS attached to a php page of which none of the CSS information gets printed. what I mean is that if we have a style "purple" which was used on the top sentence of the page, when you go to print that page, it still comes in black instead of the purple color for the purple CSS. What is worse, is that the tables that are setup and shaded for columns from the CSS style's come out without any color. It actually doesn't even print the outline borders of the table.

i have just finished making a site for a collective of illustrators I belong to, and now I'm hearing back that some people are having trouble with it. It's at www.illustratorselbow.com (I'm not allowed to post a url without spaces!) & i'm hoping people might be able to have a look at it & view the source and help me out.

If you click on somebody's name, you see the thumbnails on the right and the image on the left. When you compress the window, the thumbnails jump about and shrink. I want to make it so this can't happen- I'd rather that the section with the main image in it compressed a bit, or would side-scroll. Any idea how to do this? I'm pretty new to CSS too so I don't really know how to fix this. It's just a drag because on computers with smaller screens/resolutions, the thumbnails look really messy.

(Bear in mind that I have extremely basic knowledge of html/css/php, i hand code rather than use dreamweaver etc, and I've never used php or css before this site. I started using it because I keep hearing that frames are bad news nowadays, but it's been sooo much trouble with my limited abilities... alas)

Hi,

I'm looking for some help with CSS, specifically "a:visitied".

I want the hover over behaviour to remain the same on html links regardless of whether or not they're already in your history.

Is there a way i can do this?

Many Thanks.
