CSS - Padding Issue!
Hi all,
My CSS for a <DIV> is: Code:
.title {
width: 350px;
background: #aaccff;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
border: 1px #cccccc solid;
}
When I enter text in the DIV, it shows a bit to the right of the left border, which is what padding property is supposed to do! The problem is, in Internet Explorer, this "shift" is PERFECT and there is no extension beyond the right border, but in Firefox, the background color can be seen extended 10px to the right border. I searched on internet and people called it a problem with I.E. Everywhere I visited, people seemed to curse a Microsoft product and give a line of code, "DOCTYPE" etc to force I.E. to change mode and behave like Firefox. Those guys dont understand that what the coder wants is a solution so that Firefox shows the DIV exactly like I.E. 1) So please! Stop cursing I.E. and give solution as to how to modify the code...! 2) A person said that the width is calculated as: width + padding + margin. In my case, since margin is "0", the suggession seemed to use the following code: Code:
.title {
width: 340px;
background: #aaccff;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
border: 1px #cccccc solid;
}
i.e., subtracting the padding-left from width. But that makes "no sense" because if we do the above, it should do nothing but to just change the width of the DIV, and so the end result would be that in Firefox, instead of spanning to 360 px horizontally, this would cause it to span in 350px horizontally. Keeping in view that its the "only" DIV on the page, setting the width parameter should not be a problem. 3) Now, if Firefox follows standard, then how will firefox ever show the padding property correctly if the above scenario is considered...! 4) Microsoft may not follow the standards sometimes, but the result "is" userfriendly most of the times...! Thanks! Similar Tutorialsjust read a post on ALA regarding how to create a simple thumbnail gallery using CSS. while the styling of the CSS provided on ALA seems to render the same on both FF and IE, the original code renders slightly different. everything seems to work fine except for the padding around the caption, underneath the image. there is more space around then caption when viewed in IE. please look at this link where the html file and css are hosted - (view source) can you make out anything that could be adjusted to fix this tiny bug? really appreciate if you could help out a little here. been at this for the last couple of days, and now really dead with any ideas to fix this tiny issue :-/ thanx for your time, z Hi there, I am in the process of making a website to purchase tickets for Cannon and Ball's show in Morecambe, and I've tried to make it as standards compliant and usable as possible. I've made a nav bar using a UL tag. This works fine in opera and mozilla, but the hover effect doesn't kick in in IE until you are actually on the text. I've tried using the IE7 patch and that helps none. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The site is: http://cannonandball.1stmorecambe.net/ Style sheet: http://cannonandball.1stmorecambe.net/style.css Take a look at http://actrucking.com/. I just added the orange link towards the middle of the page that says "Get a FREE Online Quote Now!!" I'd like to push it down a bit so it is more centered in the blue area, but I can't seem to get the text to acknowledge margin or padding? Here are what the styles look like: Code: #tlCallBox { background:#336799; height:75px; display:block; float:left; width:868px; margin-left:10px; position:relative; margin-bottom:30px}
#tlCallBox h2{ color:white; font-size:19px; margin: 15px 0 0 30px}
#tlCallBox p { color:White; margin-left:32px}
#tlCallBox b { margin:20px 0 0 120px; font-weight:bold; font-size:20pt}
I'm building a series of navigation links in boxes on top of each other. I want to pad the links inside their div tags 3 pixels all the way around. I'm seperating the boxes using the border property, 1px solid on the bottom of each cell. The top and the bottom are handled in a seperate class. In firefox, the brower adds the 3 pixels to the overall width (maybe six since I'm padding left/right) so the page comes out like this: --------- | Link 1 | ------------- | Link 2 | ------------- | Link 3 | ------------- Now in IE, it looks correctly. I'm not sure which one is correct, but since IE looks right I assume it's correct. Any way to get the padding to be handled consistently in 2 browsers? On the sidebar of this page http://www.laurieannre.com/real-estate-agent.asp the UL titled Neighborhoods has a different padding on FF than in IE and I can not understand why? Hi all, I've been reading this forum for a while now, but never had to post anything before. I've hit a snag whilst working on my new personal site. Its all fine in Firefox, I'm using a Wordpress engine to spit out 'posts' which are actually folio items, however IE, after the first one, the second one and every one after that have some extreme margin/padding issue so that the content area is only maybe 20px wide. www dot lucas-starbuck dot com forwardslash design is the site address, any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks, Lucas Hi, Im trying to make a simple bar with text in the center. Im having a lot of problems with it however, because its height is 50px not 25px. The bars in question are the ones that say "Description, Payment" etc I started by setting its height to 25px in the CSS but this didnt work. Ive tried adding padding: 0px to what I thought was the relevant tag, but this doesnt change it either!

Ive put it through a validator, now it validates, but it still doesnt work. I believe the tag in question is c14 and c2. Remove. Please look at the main navigation on this site www.downtowntransmission.com I have it exactly how I want it in IE7 but it is a bit off in FF. Mouseover the Contact link and Gallery Link and you will see what I mean. Is there some small adjustment I can make to make it look the same in both? As a side note, do you like the site? T Hello, I am having an alignment issue that I can't seem to fix. The site is accessed he http://cbo4edu.org/newSite/index.html I've used 2 different CSS files... one for the homepage and one for all the other pages . For the homepage, I want the Mission headline to just touch the blue border from the navigation. Right now when viewed in Firefox on my Mac there is an extra white box above it with nothing in it... but in IE it looks fine. How do I get it to look the same in both browsers? For the other pages, I'm having a similar issue. I want about the same amount of white space above the main headings without the words getting cut off. How can I fix this in both browsers? Thank you in advance. I have a menu structure that I am trying to create with CSS. The features I want are the following:
Variable width elements
Resizable text from user
Image at left of link
I have an example page up he URL I've got it working with a table, but when I've tried with a unordered list, I start having problems. Here's what is happenning: Firefox -- when I put padding on my anchor tags, the anchor elements expand outside of the list item elements. Firefox -- anchor elements don't expand to the full width of the list item element. Internet Explorer -- IE seems to only allow for fixed/percentage with list item elements. Is there a way to allow for variable width elements? Thanks for the help! -- Doug Hey, In the top menu For some reason I can't seem to pick (after frying my brain working on this for the past however many hours) why there is such a huge empty space above the menu. I'm sure it's something simple I just keep missing. Also having trouble positioning the other menu without bloating up the css with potentially useless code. (-px, etc). Website style.css menu2.css (says menu two, but is just the second attempt at css for the first menu) Cheers for all help! Hello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code:
<style>
#menubox {
float:left;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:7px;
}
.main_cell {
padding:15px;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div>
Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks, Rey Hey everyone, I am making a design to kill some time, and I have come across a problem. I have a menu at the top which has no top padding unless I give it padding of 87px. I find this very odd, and it happens in every browser( Firefox 2.0.0.3, Opera 9, IE6-7 ); is it a bug in CSS itself or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code, maybe I am missing something. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #082567; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; } #top-menu { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 130px; } #top-menu h1 { float: left; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -3px; font-size: 31px; padding: 5px; } #menu { float: right; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 50px; } #menu a:hover { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=0C39A1&EndColor=082567&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top-menu"> <h1>ryon.hunter</h1> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" I validated it and it validates fine, any suggestions? Around this dropdown image? http://199.134.225.62/NW_PORTAL/sliding_menu/sliding_menu.cfm I have padding and margins all set to 0... Hey everyone, I am working on a new template: http://4xp.net/temp.html The colors are there just so I can see the divs, so don't worry. If you look at the page in IE, it looks fine, with some padding between the green and orange div, and to the right of the orange div. When you look at it in Firefox, there is a bunch of white padding to the top and bottom of both the orange and green divs, and I can't seem to get it to go away. The weird thing is, if I add a 1px border to the orange div, the green div aligns to the top, and the orange background expands to fill in the white area above and below the orange div. Does anyone know how to remove this padding? Thanks! I don't know exactly what to call what's going on, but i'm asuming that there is a padding issue with my menu. I have a ul that contains my menu list. The CSS and xhtml are as follows: Code: /* Menu */
li {
border: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 0px none;
display: inline;
line-height: 14px;
margin: 0px;
margin-left: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 3px;
padding-right: 3px;
}
ul#menu {
background-image: url(img/menu.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
background-position: left bottom;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
/* End Menu */
<ul id="menu"><li>Menu 1</li><li>Items 2</li>
<li>Will 3</li><li>Go 4</li><li>Here 5</li></ul>
(the menu is on one line, thanks to IE's whitespace issue, i broke it here for easier readablity.) the problem is: i have it nestled on top of a div, and for some reason the ul has a 1px bit of padding on the bottom. I have searched the forum and may have missed some one posting a resolution for this, but i tried every one ov the voice-family/carrage return fixes i've seen, but none work. to see what i'm talking about if my words are il formed (as they often are) click here. to view the CSS click here. Right now, there is nothing about padding located in css file. And I was told I should add a bit because my page is a headache to read. I was told: "Basically you want to add more white space between the vertical line and the text" How would I go about doing this? The site Im talking about is: www.ohiocichlids.com Hi there, I have 2 main divs.. one which holds a small ammount of content on the right hand side.. like a 'related links' box which is located at the top right of the page. The other div holds the content. It wraps around the top right div, but there is no padding to the right of the content area, so the text goes right the way up to the right hand div. How can I add some padding to the right of this area? I have added padding, but it adds it to the text where it wraps below the top right div. This is the code I am using: PHP Code: #related_links{ width: 165px; height: 237px; background-image: url('images/related_bg.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; float:right; padding-right: 10px; } #related_inside{ padding: 10px; } #content{ padding-right: 10px; } #content_inside{ padding: 10px; } PHP Code: <div id="related_links"><div id="related_inside">right hand text</div></div> <div id="content"> <div id="content_inside" >is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
