CSS - Solve Element Margin Mystery
Forget it, I solved the issue. How does one delete a post like this...
Similar TutorialsI cannot figure out how to get rid of the bottom margin on my body tag. It's driving me nuts. It's set to zero explicitly yet there's still a gap between the body tag and the bottom of the page. I don't think it's a browser bug since it happens in both FF and Opera. site: gohanman.com/cms/image/tid/3 (forum rules say I can't link) There has to be something simple, but I don't know any way to change the bottom margin other than setting margin-bottom... i think there is a problem with margin: 0 auto; for ie6. Can you try these code in your IE? I know it's a bug but i couldn't find the solution. Code: <div style="width:250px; background-color: #DFDFDF; margin: 10px auto; text-align:center; padding: 4px;">hello world</div> do you have an idea? thanks. www.ahmetalpbalkan.com Please look at http://certified.tmhdesign.com/know.asp in FF I have a div element with an id of "know" that is appearing under an h1 element with an id of know_header In Firefox there is an unwanted top margin on the div#know (or a bottom margin on the H1 element). I can't seem to understand why? T My css is at CSS. The site is at site The problem I am having is that on the .maintextdiv or the .subtextdiv if I add any left or right margin values IE6 in strict mode is adding that value to the parent element, #rightbox. I should clarify that if I add margin values to just one of them it displays fine, but if I add margin values to both of them then I end up with the problem of extra space added to the parent element. More wierdness, if those (maintextdiv and subtextdiv) are not floated then the problem doesn't show up at all. It's only once they got floated did I have problems. This behavior doesn't show up in FF or Safari. Anyone with any ideas? I don't know why but for some reason I thought if you give an element a position of absolute the margin is irrelevant. Not so in FF huh? Tom Pleae look at this page in IE8 & Firefox - Click Here It appears as I want it in FF but in IE there is a gap between the paragraph in the center column and the first listing of product. I have tried to put margins on all elements but can not get that closed in IE. Can someone shed some light? Thanks. Tom Hi all 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">
<head>
<title> new document </title>
<style>
div.outer {
background-color: yellow;
overflow: auto;
}
h1 {
margin: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="outer">
<h1>Title</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Expected result (Firefox): expected.JPG Unexpected result (Internet Explorer): unexpected.JPG Is there something I can do against this instead of adding a padding-top to the H1 or a padding-top to the div.outer? Thanks for help, Josh I've been looking through many, many forums trying to resolve this issue, so please forgive me if there is a solution to this that I've missed. Here's the deal: On some installs of Firefox (4.0), the body is being positioned 28px lower than the top of the screen. I set the <html> tag to have a light blue background to troubleshoot the issue, and now there is a light blue bar across the top of the page, proving that it is the body of the page that is lower than it should be. I thought it was a Firefox "collapsing margin" issue, so I added "margin:0; to almost everything, and it didn't help. I'm trying to do this without having to absolutely position everything. Here's the site: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com here's the css: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com/wp-content/themes/myportlandtours/style.css Anybody have insight into this? Problem with IE8 http://kool-invention.mine.nu/~httpd2/bug.JPG take look at: http://kool-invention.mine.nu/~httpd2/ with firefox and ie or other web browsers. why the right column in logo and page content is slightly going down? in Firefox it works perfectly. i tried to research on Google but i couldn't find an answer.

please help. Background info: - I have validated the page and CSS, no problems there - Site is working properly in Firefox and IE, seems to be a margin issue in Safari -This margin issue is not the common Safari bug with a negative margin being applied to a floated element -I am using Safari in a windows environment, I do not have a Mac The problem: -in Safari the top margin on the content either is either not being applied at all or is being interpreted differently -it may be of note that I was having the same issue with IE, but was able to specify an IE specific style sheet for it, I don't believe this is possible in Safari?

I've been toying with a CSS Layout for a new site with a faux-columns (ALA style) two-column with clearing footer design. It also calls for a small gradient bar under the header that repeat-x;'s a gradient bitmap accross the bar. I've done things like this before (in fact, in the same document -- the HTML background) but for some reason this isn't working. I've checked the path in the url() for the element's background: tag, but no luck. Can anyone see what I'm missing here? Help is much appreciated. URL for Layout Test: http://www.gravitymusic.com/aiden/CSSTest/front.html URL for CSS Document: http://www.gravitymusic.com/aiden/CSSTest/style.css Thanks! I've got a form that I'm trying to lay out. I've prepared examples. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example1.html This is approximately what the form should look like. But I don't like how I managed to pull it off. I've explicitly declared a height for the middle row in my form. I want this to be automatic based on the contents. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example2.html But this is what happens if I take out the explicit height. The float lefts for the inner "box"es confuse the parent div into thinking it has no content. So the height collapses, and chaos results. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example3.html I've also tried making the "box"es use a display of "inline". But that doesn't work possibly cause inline elements are not supposed to contain block elements. Any recommendations? If I have <div class="menu"> <table> <tr> <td>Home page</td> </tr> and in my style sheet td.menu { color:red; } then too bad for me. I have to put class=menu in every <td> tag. There must be a better way. Hi gang, First of all, take a look at this page: http://www.cheeyewear.com.au/news.php I've made a website for a client and they are saying they can't use/interact with the menu on the right. I've tested every browser PC and Mac and they are all working fine. It happened after I added in the new footer code but I can't re-produce the issue at all. She says she sees the issue "Safari and at work Google Chrome". I know she uses a PC at her work. She's finding the same issue with this page: http://www.cheeyewear.com.au/eye_testing.php Can anyone else out there no interact with the right column on these pages?? Thanks!! Ham Hi! Should I do this? p { margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 2em; } or this: p { margin-bottom: 2em; } Same question for headers (h1, h2, etc) Thanks! Heya guys, Hope someone can help me with this one. Been looking around the web but most are suggesting to do what i have already done. I've got this in style.css file: Code: /* SEARCH Bar */
.lb_bl {background: url(/img/lb_bl.gif) 0 100% no-repeat #E5ECEC}
.lb_br {background: url(/img/lb_br.gif) 100% 100% no-repeat}
.lb_tl {background: url(/img/lb_tl.gif) 0 0 no-repeat}
.lb_tr {background: url(/img/lb_tr.gif) 100% 0 no-repeat; padding: 3px}
.clear {font-size: 1px; height: 1px}
.topform {
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
top: 65px;
width: 300px;
font-size: 10px;
font-family: myriad, verdana, sans-serif;
text-align: right; }
input, form {
font-size: 11px;
font-family: myriad, verdana, sans-serif;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin: 0px; }
/* End of SEARCH Bar */
Which refers to this part of my index.php page: Code: <!-- Top right SEARCH -->
<div class="topform">
<div class="lb_bl">
<div class="lb_br">
<div class="lb_tl">
<div class="lb_tr">
<form name="form" id="form" method="post" action=""><input name="search" type="text" />
<input name="search" type="button" value="SEARCH" /></form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"> </div>
</div>
<!-- End of top right SEARCH -->
But i am still getting a space below the form in IE (firefox is perfect). What should i do? You can see an example of the page at www.theresortwarehouse.com Thanks in advance to anyone who can help - Gaz I thought it might have been carriage returns, but it's not. For some reason, Textwrangler is showing either question marks (for firefox for windows) or little boxes (for IE for windows). The problem isn't happening for Safari or FF for mac. I can't figure out what it is. the site Hi all Take a look at this in Firefox and then in IE7: http://www.josh.ch/files/temp/ie7_margin_bug/formulare.html The text input and the textarea fields have a strange margin on the left in IE7 that shouldn't be there. It seems to be "inherited" by the outher paragraph, just change the value in css/general.css on line 29 to see it happen. FF and IE6 behave well, IE7 doesn't. Interestingly, the select field (and all the other fields like radio buttons and checkboxes) don't have this problem. I did a search and found this link: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatIndent.html Seems to be something like that, but the display:inline fix didn't help. the only way I see is a minus margin for the text input and textarea fields for IE7 only, but maybe there's a cleaner way? Thanks a lot for help :-) Josh Hi, My page has 3 elements: one at the top(header banner), one in the middle (a middle content area) and one at the bottom (footer banner). Now I want those positions to remain intact regardless of the number of lines output in the middle element. The content is going to be determined at runtime by a server-side routine so I don't want to use a fixed positioning for the footer banner. I want it to be displayed at the bottom - after the middle content is displayed. And I want the middle content to be visible in the page i.e. I don't want a scroll area within the page. I have tried various approaches and read up on positioning but so far have not been able to do it using css. Any help is much appreciated. Jim I have an navigation menu that I am building as an unordered list. What I have is an image rollover that appears at the bottom of the navigation menu when the cursor hovers over one of the first level links by using a span within the link that has its display set to none, and then set to absolute positioned directly below the navigation menu on a:hover. Here is an example: Code:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="link1.html" id="link1">Link<span></span></a>
</li>
</ul>
.link a { some link height }
.link a span { display: none; }
.link a:hover span {
position: abolute;
top: (some link height * the number of links);
background-image: (some image url)
width: (image width)
height: (image height)
}
Appearance: ------ Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- ------- Rollover Image to appear here ------- The problem that I have is that since the rollover image is positioned absolutely, if the size of the list of links changes (IE with sub-links in the list) it slides under or over where I have the rollover image placed. IE ------ Link1 sublink1 sublink2 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- will break my scheme. Is there a way to get the span within the link to show up relative to the bottom of the <ul> element, or at the bottom of an element that contains the whole shebang? If I cant get this to work, I'm going to be forced to adopt the existing tables/javascript based template for our site, and I'd hate hate hate to do that. thanks. |
