CSS - Problem With Body Overflowing In Ie

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

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.

Hello 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

The site is here.

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???

Thanks in advance

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

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.

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.

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.

Hello,

I'm working now on div layout that contains 3 sections (header, body, footer) in one centered wrapper with border (divs with background imgs).

My problem is:

- divs that are in fact borders (id="l_outerborder_b" and id="r_outerborder_b") don't stretch when main container (id="body_content_text") grows.

Here is a html code:

Code:

<!--BEGIN TEMPLATE HEADER -->

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

hello friends,


please tell me how can i specify a hyperlink, active, hover and visited attribute in body { }

for example i have the following css

BODY
{
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-color: #F2F2F2;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
text-align: left;


}


now i want to specify the default hyperlink with active, hover and visited attribute within body.

Thx.

I am trying to center the whole page. the body contains all divs, contained in one main div. I tried I trick I have been using for a while but it messed with one the other divs. I was using

Margin-Left:-375px; Position:Absolute; Left:50%;

any ideas for another way to center my page?
