CSS - Web Server Not Displaying Css Template Correctly

I tried to find this answer by doing a search, but maybe I'm asking the search engine wrong.

I'm creating an online shopping environment for my cousin. It's mostly done, but...it isn't displaying right in Safari...and Netscape. But mostly I care about Safari.

Here is the link:
http://gregsgoods.com/seestore.php

In IE7 is displays correctly. In Safari the second column or main section is displaying below the sidebar area. I'm not sure how to fix it.

Here is the CSS code:
Code:

html {min-height: 100%;}

* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

a {
color: #005B9C;
}

a:hover {
color: #0B2444
}

img {
border: 0;
}

body {
	background: #E2E7EF url(/gregsgoodbackground.gif) repeat-x left top;
	color: #ccc;
	font: normal 62.5% Tahoma,sans-serif;
}

p,ul {padding-bottom: 1.2em;}

I'm brand new to CSS. I pieced together the following CSS style sheet:

body {
margin-top:5px;
margin-bottom:5px;
padding:0;
background:#ccffff;
}

t{line-height:36px;}

#wrap {
position:50%;
width:613px;
margin:0 auto;
background:#ffffff;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
align:center;
}

#sidebar {
position:absolute;
float:left;
width:150px;
border: 1px solid #000033;
padding:15px;
background:#ffffff;
height:370px;
z-index:1;
}

#main {
float:right;
width:390px;
border: 1px solid #000033;
overflow: auto;
font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;
font-size: 13px;
padding-top:12px;
padding-right:20px;
padding-bottom:20px;
padding-left:20px;
background:#ffffff;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:75% 535px;
background-image:url(smalljester.jpg);
height:750px;
z-index:2;
}

It works fine on most browsers, but not of course in IE/Win. I think there's something basic I'm not understanding about style sheets. The page is meant to be (and is on most browsers I've tried and on Macs) centered (the two boxes centered), the two boxes are meant to have white backgrounds with thin solid borders, and the boxes are meant to overlap perfectly (the right border of the left box should exactly overlap the left border of the right box). Right now in IE(8)/Win(XP) it's not centered, the two boxes are not connected (separated by white space on a light blue background), and the white background extends the full height of the #main box (where it's not meant to go below the bottom of the left column). Any help appreciated.

Hi all,
Has anyone heard or seen this before.
I am trying to run a test on my local server (Apache) and it will not display correctly...the colums seem to be all over the place. The wierd thing is that when i upload it to a remote server like he http://www.cartgurudemo.com/3c-hd-ft-flex.htm it shows fine.
Also when i test it with IE both local and remote it works fine.
Any ideas as to what this might be?
Cheers,
camcim

When using the following code, the "Design" preview does not display correctly within Dreamweaver MX 2004, but it does display correctly in all browsers.

Does anyone know if this a problem with Dreamweaver or my CSS code.

Update:- removing "position:absolute" from #infoPanel fixes the design preview problem, but this isn't really a solution, as I need to position absolutely.
The only problem I've got is the design preview in Dreamweaver. I am happy with the final browser output, but the layout is awful within Dreamweaver.

Thanks
Matthew

I used the CSS Tricks dot com guide to make my menu bar items equidistant from one another and it works perfectly in Chrome, Firefox and IE8.... but not IE7 (or IE8 Compatibility Mode). BTW the guide example works fine in IE7 but I'm doing something only ever so slightly different. I really don't have a clue what to do, so would appreciate some help.

Here's the relevant CSS code I'm using:

Quote:
#content {
width:1000px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
padding:0;
padding-top:230px;
}

/* Menu */

#menu {
height:40px;
padding:0;
padding-left:40px;
padding-right:40px;
display:block;
}

#menu a {
margin:0;
padding:0;
display:block;
float:left;
}

#menu a span {
position:relative;
display:block;
z-index:-1;
}

#menu-row {
margin: -40px 0 0 150px;
padding: 0;
height: 40px;
}
#menu-row div {
width: 33.3%;
float: left;
}
#menu-row div a {
float: right;
}

#menu .home {
background: url(images/menu-home.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
display: block;
width: 150px;
height: 40px;
outline: none;
}

#menu .science {
background: url(images/menu-science.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
display: block;
width: 150px;
height: 40px;
outline: none;
}

#menu .radio {
background: url(images/menu-radio.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
display: block;
width: 150px;
height: 40px;
outline: none;
}

#menu .club {
background: url(images/menu-club.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
display: block;
width: 150px;
height: 40px;
outline: none;
}


and HTML

Quote:
<div id="content">
<div id="menu">
<a href="#" class="home"><span>Home</span></a>
<div id="menu-row">
<div><a href="#" class="science"><span>Science</span></a></div>
<div><a href="#" class="radio"><span>Radio</span></a></div>
<div><a href="#" class="club"><span>Club</span></a></div>
</div> <!--/movers-row -->

</div> <!--/menu -->


All the links in the menu-row div are shifted up vertically from the first link in IE7 and I don't know why?

Hi,

I'm using a right-to-left layout and I can't find a way to display my list items correctly on Firefox. When I insert something into the rtl div with a float, the list item does not wrap correctly.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#content {
margin:0 200px 0 20px;
border: 2px solid #000;
direction:rtl;
}
#floatdiv {
width:100px;
height:100px;
margin:10px;
border: 1px solid #000;
float:left;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div id="floatdiv"</div>
<p>This is a test</p>
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Is there a problem in my code?

Thanks,

Ehud.

I just finished modifying an open CSS/XHTML webpage and it displays perfectly on IE7.

When the page is viewed on other IE versions, it is completely jumbled (i.e. footer at top of page, hover boxes on navigation bar take up whole screen, borders exceed defined 1000px, etc.)

I am a novice at CSS and am having difficulty fixing these issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'v attached screen shots of the correct and incorrect layouts.

I have 2 css formatting files: setup and text

I'm trying to get my page to format correctly in IE. It looks fine in firefox, but in IE when the page is first loaded the footer isn't at the very bottom of the window. If I refresh the screen it drops down to the bottom and it looks fine.

1. top and bottom images are collapsing, i cant get them to display correctly without filling the html with either breaks or text

2. I cant get the images submenuedivider and submenuemarker to display simultaneously when i hover the links in the list.

3. Right now my soltuion to not display the divider image below the last element in the list is through the code:
<li><a style="background-image: none;" href="x.html">SOmething</a></li>
</ul>

However, this also causes the mrker to not be seen above the list element as well, which isn't exactly what I wanted to happen, so what do I do? I'm stuck

I am looking to purchase a CSS only template (no flash, no php, etc) that is for a company who sells software. I need it to support and have room for a lot of text and am not interested in several columns. A dropdown menu would be ideal.

I have been looking on various sites but haven't found anything suitable. Does anyone know of any off hand? Thanks!

Hi,

just to explain I know absolutely nothing about css. I can barely manage to change fonts, so please be gentle with me. I am quite capable of following straight forward instructions though so if you can help it would be much appreciated. I have a website (URL address blocked: PM me to get URL)/joomla that I'm playing with. The submenu's are where I have an issue - they appear exactly as I want when a menu item is selected (indented and normal font weight) however when a sub menu item is selected the indent dissappears and it treats it like a main menu item. Below is the code where I think the issue is.
I've been googling like mad to see if anyone else has the same problem with this particular template but no joy. On a seperate note if there are any joomla template experts out there I would be happy to pay a reasonable fee to make some other modifications (basically the padding and position of the main column is all over the place dependent on the content that is displayed). I'd also like to upgrade this to joomla 1.6 at some stage. Enquired with a couple of "professional" Joomla developers and recieved no reply. I assume my requirements are too small for them to consider, and that they are just too rude to reply to say so.

Hi, I'm having a little trouble positioning something on my header. Here's my site: http://ne-yofan.com/test/. I'd like to position the blog in the header to the left without divs. How would I?

Also my header looks different in Firefox and Internet Explorer. How can I fix that?

Please and thank you.

Help! I bought a template that is supposed to be easily manipulated, but I am stuck... Can anybody offer some help on a couple files?

I have emailed requesting support now a couple times with no response.

I am trying to change the script so there is no white space for text an just have white text over the same grey/black background on my index page? I would like it to match the front page with the faded grey to black background and the text boxes black with white text
My front page is rotating pictures as a slideshow can they be clickable and serve as a navigation to my gallery?

If you are willing to help please let me know!

Thanks so much! New to css....

Hello! My first post...but definitely not my last. I'm working on a new site and used a CSS template designed by someone else. My problem is I can't figure out how to change any of the width parameters without screwing up how the page looks. If anyone could help me with resizing the width that would be greatly appreciated. The web site is located at www.easyplateau.com.

Thanks!
