CSS - Firefox Ignoring Marin Specs

this never happens in IE, only FF

sometimes when i visit my site the letter links in the menu are messed up. like the padding is ignored on only 1 of the letters when they ALL use the exact same code.

heres what i'm talking about:

what it should look like:



what it sometimes looks like:



as you can see, the padding on 1 letter is ignored. sometimes this alternates between different letters, but its always only 1 letter that this happens to.

here is my css code:

Code:

#menubarbg {
  background: url(images/menu_bar_bg.gif) repeat-x;
}

#menuletter a {
  background: url(images/menu_letter_bg_noh.gif) repeat-x;
  font-weight: bold;
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
  color: #ffffff;
  text-decoration: none;
  line-height: 20px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

#menuletter a div {
  background: url(images/menu_letter_l_noh.gif) left top no-repeat;
}

#menuletter a div div {
  background: url(images/menu_letter_r_noh.gif) right top no-repeat;
  padding: 0px 6px 0px 6px;
  height: 20px;
}

#menuletter a:hover {
  background: url(images/menu_letter_bg_h.gif) repeat-x;
  color: #000000;
}

#menuletter a:hover div {
  background: url(images/menu_letter_l_h.gif) left top no-repeat;
}

#menuletter a:hover div div {
  background: url(images/menu_letter_r_h.gif) right top no-repeat;
}

here is the html code:

Code:

  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
  <tr>

  <td id="menuletter"><a href="guitar-tabs/1.html"><div><div>#</div></div></a></td>

  <td id="menuletter"><a href="guitar-tabs/a.html"><div><div>A</div></div></a></td>

  </table>

the reason it uses a table is so it displays properly on all browsers.

help....

Hello All!

I started making a website and I have run into a problem with some code.

I am trying to put the paypal donation code on my site with an image, unfortunately the paypal code is ignoring the css and the image is not displaying with a border around it. :P

My site: www.looniefrugal.com
The image is on the far right column under the RSS image. Note how the RSS has a border and the Coffee image does not.

Here is the code for that column

Code:

<div id="tertCol"><?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<div id="elseWhere">
		<h3>Before you go</h3>
		<p>I dare you to... </p>
		<ul id="imgLinks">
			<li><a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/LoonieFrugal" title="Subscribe to LoonieFrugal.com"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/guide/rss.gif" alt="Subscribe - RSS" /></a></li>

<li>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="elina_1985@hotmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="CA">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Loonie Frugal">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Coffee">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="CAD">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:coffee.gif:NonHosted">
<input type="image"  src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/guide/coffee.gif" name="submit" alt="Coffee Time!">
</form>		
</li>

	
	</div><!-- close #imgLinks -->
</div><!-- close #tertCol -->

And here is the Style code

Code:

ul#imgLinks{list-style:none;margin:7px 0;}
#imgLinks li{color:#7F7F7F;line-height:1.2em;padding:0 0 1px;}
#imgLinks li a img{border:3px solid #EEE;width:208px;height:69px;color:#333;font-weight:bold;}
#imgLinks li a:hover img{border-color:#DDD;}

Thanks for any help with this. I am new to code :P

I have an odd situation where the box for an anchor in a menu is extraordinarily large . . . IN MOZILLA! IE works as expected & displays correctly, but the Mozilla box is triggering the :hover half way in the content area! (See attachment)

I'm a little baffled on this box situation, EVEN INCLUDING the box-sizing changes for both IE/Moz (box-sizing: border-box & -moz-box-sizing: border-box), still doesn't resolve the problem.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Here is the relevant CSS:

I am desperate. I think I found a bug in Firefox, and I'm not sure how to work around it.

The following code works in everything (IE 8, Chrome, Safari, Opera) except Firefox (version 3.6.3). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Firefox?

You can look what happens to the drop-down menu's on Menu 2 and 3 live by going to my site (deenfoxx dot com slash firefox-bug dot html).

The problem appears to be that "#nav li" happens to have position:relative; and a display:table; and "#nav li ul" is position:absolute;. Normally, absolute positioning requires its parent or ancestor position to be set, but when used with the table display, it doesn't work normally on Firefox--but it does on other browsers.

Can someone help me with a workaround that does not involve altering the HTML? If I must, I will accept a workaround that requires changing the HTML, but I'll have to do some heavy duty recoding of Magento's core menu generation. Anyone that knows Magento knows I want to avoid that like the plague--my example is a very simplified version of the problem.

I'm having an issue where a website is showing up a few pixels off in Mac Firefox than it is in PC firefox. Anyone have a quick fix for this?

Mac Screenshots: http://graffetto.com/chops/clairus_screens.pdf

PC Firefox Screenshot:


Firefox, IE, and Netscape all look identical on PC, while firefox, IE and safari look identical on Mac, but different from PC (except safari - messed up text)

Any help is greatly appreciated

Edit: after reviewing my post I realized I was quite vague. What I'm looking for is a way to filter CSS so that only Mac Firefox users will receive one CSS file, and PC users will receive another.

Have a page at

www.maxxedmotors.com/damo

There is a div called "container" which is supposed to surround all of the content with a border.

This works fine in IE 6/5.x, but in firefox the border only surrounds the div called "header".

Can anyone tell me where i'm being dumb

Any help greatfully appreciated.

Hi, I'm having an issue with Firefox displaying my home page correctly. It previews smaller than other pages in my site even though they all share the same style sheet.

In IE 7 my site previews fine, the issue is with Firefox for some reason the wrapper seems to shrink on the home page and any help or tips to steer me the right way would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I created a menu for someone, hideous as it may be, it's what they wanted. However, it works in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer.

This is code I used for the menu.
.Menu ul li {
float:left; position:relative; list-style-image:url(images/divider2.gif); margin:0 15px 0 20px; padding:0;
}

I have an image to replace the bullets that would normally appear. In Firefox it appears with the image as it should, but in Internet Explorer it is not showing up like it should.

My website works fine with all browsers except IE. Can anyone help me with the issue?

www.opennys.com

It uses CSS and xHTML and PHP.

Thanks,

now i don't like saying things like possible bug because 99/100 it's not a bug, but some kind of user error.

however, i have the following situation and i thought that describing it as a bug may get people interested in it

two tables, both with auto width / height, both the same code. one table is set so that when viewed on screen it has display: none and then when printed it has display: block.

if you do a print preview in internet explorer, the page shows two identicle tables. in mozilla, the table expands to fill the width of the page for the hidden table.

see html attached for example; load in firefox / ie; do a print preview and you'll see what i mean.

any ideas?

i read the thread posted about this not too long ago, and tried out the DOCTYPE! tag suggested, along with a few others from W3...

however all that did was screw up the page more.

anything you could do to help would be great

preview in firefox and IE.
Lines appear in IE but not firefox
This is related to the display of a text box on mouseover.

why ?? is there a better method ??

I have a site using CSS for layout

It has one main div called main-column that sits in the middle of the page
and has a background image. Within this there are 3 columns columns.

the trouble is the background of the main column does not show up behind
these three. If you right click it says there is a background image there but nothing is showing.

my css is:

Code:

#main-column
{
width:750px;
height: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-image:url(/site_images/bodyback.jpg);
}

#left-column
{
width:150px;
float:left;
}

#contents-column
{
width:450px;
float:left;
}

#right-column
{
width:150px;
float:right;
}

and html is:

Code:

<!-- Start of main column -->
<div id="main-column">

<!-- Start of Left Column Div -->
<div id="left-column">
<? include("../includes/leftnav.php"); ?>
<!-- End of Left Column Div -->
</div>

<!-- Start of contents Column Div -->
<div id="contents-column">
<? include("../includes/main.php"); ?>
</div>

<!-- Start of right Column Div -->
<div id="right-column">
<? include("../includes/rightnav.php"); ?>
<!-- End of right Column Div -->
</div>

<!-- End of Main Column Div -->
</div>

Any idea how I can correct this?

I see there is another post here on this. But it may be a different issue. I was hoping some of the experts could take 30 seconds to see why this looks fine in Firefox and not IE.

It did validate at w3c. I am sure there is a hack, but if there is something that sicks out real quick it would be much appreciated. I know everyone gives there extra time here and it is greatly appreciated.
