Thanks!... Similar TutorialsI searched google to see if there was a fix for this problem, and found a few hits, however, the solutions were not solutions. I tried them, yes the backgrounds of my clear .png's were still being filled with some random color. Is there anyone than can tell me how to make a .png's background clear in internet explorer? Greetings, I basically have a few images, and they're small pieces forming a bigger image, i.e., some people call this "slicing". Now I'm trying to use the float and clear properties to make the big image show properly using those smaller slices. So far, I'm having no trouble whatsoever with the big image showing exactly as I want it on Firefox. But Internet Explorer (which I really can't stand anymore) will not show the image properly. Here's the sequence, I hope you'll be able to visualize it easily: 1st image is floated left with clear right, 2nd image is floated left with clear both, 3rd image is floated left with clear left, 4th image is where the problem is, it has to come after the 3rd image, to its right, and a 5th image comes after the 4th, too, on the same line. So I cannot clear either right or left of the 4th image. What happens in IE is that the 4th image, instead of showing up next to the 3rd image (to its right), it goes ALL the way up and stays to the right side of the first image! As if the clear:right of the 1st image and clear:both of the 2nd image are not working at all. Again, this does not happen in Firefox. How can I correct this, please? Thanks for anyone taking the time to give information and tips. I wish the world would abolish internet explorer, it doesn't seem to understand simple commands like the other browsers! My problem is this: i'm building a template from scratch using dreamweaver (for speed really) and I've positioned a left menu div, a breadcrumbs div and 2 other small divs in a row. my next div is the main content which is told to 'clear right' of the last small div in (which is floated right) so that it appears underneath the breadcrumbs and flush alongside the left menu div. Firefox and Chrome seem to understand this, but IE doesn't! in IE it's appending it onto the line above, thereby not 'clearing right' as it's told. You can see it he #wheretoflyguide .com and my CSS is below: #menu_left { background-color: #9CF; float: left; min-height: 200px; width: 180px; } #breadcrumbs { float: left; height: 16px; width: 485px; border-top-width: medium; border-right-width: medium; border-bottom-width: medium; border-left-width: medium; border-bottom-style: groove; border-top-color: #CCC; border-right-color: #CCC; border-bottom-color: #CCC; border-left-color: #CCC; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 3px; margin-left: 3px; color: #999; } #rss_date_user1 { height: 16px; width: 145px; float: left; border: thin none #999; margin-left: 2px; margin-top: 1px; } #date_user5 { height: 16px; width: 160px; float: right; text-align: right; margin-right: 3px; } #content_area { min-height: 200px; width: 480px; clear: right; float: left; background-color: #C93; margin-top: 3px; margin-left: 3px; } I also have another problem, and that is I've made a container to wrap everything in but it doesn't seem to want to extend with the contents. I have put body { height :100%; } and #container {min-height :100%} but that didn't give me anything on screen, so I changed it to #container { min-height:768px} which gave me a box that was 768px tall but doesn't extend beyond that when the content goes beyond it. (yes i have everything wrapped inside <div id="container"> </div> PLEASE HELP! I've got a div that incorporates some inline styling. Looks fine on a blank page, but when I insert it into a more complex page it inherits all the styling of the stylesheets. Is there anyway to I can have this div ignore all inherited styling and just format itself according to browser defaults and its own inline styling? Hello, The divs numbered #4(extra2) and #5(navigation2) cannot give way to other divs . How can I clear the other divs?

Hello, Consider the following design: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> </div> And the CSS classes: .A {float:left; clear:left} .B {float:left; clear:right} This does not work well. So I always do as follow: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> <div id="clear" class="clear"></div> </div> Whe .A {clear:both} This always happens when I have divs inside other divs. Does anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks, Miguel I have a site with a bunch of floats. It looks something like this: [HTML]<div id="nav" style="float: left"> </div> <div id="content"> <div style="float: left"> </div> <div style="float: right"> </div> <br style="clear: both" </div>[/HTML] Now that clear:both also clears #nav instead of the two divs in #content. Is there any way to fix this so it doesn't clear #nav? I'm trying to get a container div to stretch to the size of it's contents. Note, #navigation and #title will be for aesthetics only and aren't being used yet. Am I wrong in thinking that the clear has to go in the containing div, not the component divs? Anyway, I've tried both and neither works. I have: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>

<title>My Blog</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="title">
<!-- title -->
</div>
<div id="navigation">
<!-- search -->
<!-- jumpbox -->
<!-- subscription_and_rss_images -->
</div>
<div style="border:3px solid red; clear:both">
<div class="leftcolumn" style="border:3px solid green;">
<!-- menu --> <!-- leave this tag in for menu in Admin CP -->
<!-- referrers -->

<div class="rightcolumn" style="border:3px solid blue;">
<!-- content -->
</div>
</div>
<div style="border:3px solid yellow;">
<!-- credit -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
And CSS: Code: div.leftcolumn{
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
div.rightcolumn{
position: relative;
margin-left: 205px;
padding-left: 5px;
border-left: 1px solid #222222;
}
This produces: I'm using float:left for my left nav bar, and then clear:both for my footer. Trouble is, I need to use some content boxes that will be using floats and then clears, however, when I use clear:both in my content box, it clears EVERYTHING (meaning it pushes below my navbar, because the navbar is quite long). Is there a workaround or am I using floats/clear wrong? TIA Javashackgirl In this header www.johnschureman.com I have an image, an h1 and a subtitle div. Code: <div id="header">
<img src="../images/jschu-crop150h.jpg">

<div id="subtitle">

<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
</div>
</div>
I cannot figure out in my css how to make the subtitle appear below the h1. Code: #header {

padding: 0px;
margin-top: 3px;

Hope this is enough info. I've been playing with clear, position, etc. Help? Thanks in advance. - Willi I finally got the alpha loader to work.. and, my transparent PNG files work great as a background in IE - I even have a page that loads many links for using Lightbox.. and, it works great. But.. now.. in Firefox and Safari.. I don't have a background.. it is crystal clear.. *Gulp* Can anybody help me? Hi again , I've got one more question: when you've used a 2 or 3-col layout for your webpage (the right, possibly the middle col holds the actual content, the others are floating divs used as menus), you can no more use the clear property for the actual content? Because it clears the space until all floating elements ends - including menus , so it finally looks like here. Here are CSS used for this page: CSS_1 (used for the fotogallery only) and CSS_2 (used mainly for layout of the web). I think there is a solution, I've already thought it can be found on BonRouge's pages (very useful pages by the way), but he made the menu using absolute positioning . So has anyone any idea how to solve this? And maybe one more detail: can be pictures in this fotogallery centered in their parent <div> (red bordered)? They're all floating, so it's not so easy, if possible. Oh man, rebuild these pages without tables, it really drives me mad... Hello, I have used the containment hack in several of my projects. However I found examples where they use "<div style="clear:both"></div>". The result is the same. So which one should I use? Hi i am trying to display small divs next to each other on one row, when i put clear left on the div that i want on the left, so that it puts it on the next line, the 3 divs then jump right down the page, putting a massive gap between this and the content above, is there a way to stop this happening? the code i have is html Code: <div id="arrow1">arrow1</div> <div id="arrow2">arrow2</div> <div id="arrow3">arrow3</div> Code: #arrow1 {
background-image:url(images/arrow.gif) ;
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:176px;
height:96px;
float:left;
display:inline;
clear:left;
}
#arrow2 {
background-image:url(images/arrow.gif) ;
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:176px;

background-image:url(images/arrow.gif) ;
background-position:top left;

Hi, I have a problem with the following page, basically the second album blocks (labelled "2006, Carnival") won't start until the navigation menu on the left has finished: http://www.realsteel.org.uk/photos/ The following page suffers a similar problem, with the address not starting until the navigation menu on the left has finished: http://www.realsteel.org.uk/contact/ in this case I thought I could fix it by removing the clear on .contact_system .area but then this broke the formatting of the address. Can I apologise in advance for the poor shape of my CSS and XHTML, I'm in the position of not having anything enough time to spend on this aspect of the project. I find that I only get to work on the CSS / XHTML side of things every few months or less, consequently each time I look at it I've forgotten what I learnt the last time and am back to square one. I also find that I don't know why I did what I did the last time! I hope someone can find it in their time to assist! All constructive criticism is very much welcome, whether to do with the above problem or not. Thanks, Geoff Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? hello all, once again, IE is presenting problems where everything else is just fine. specifically, my footer isn't clearing. i've looked around and apparently this is nothing new, but none of the fixes seem to be working. so first, the offending page (one look in IE and all will be understood instantly): http://www.teamsnowvalley.com/news/headline.php?id=12 i've made the footer RED to indicate the snafu in IE. relevant CSS (i stripped out unnecessary crap): #content { float:left; display:block; margin:0 0 25px } #content .full { float:left; width:500px; padding-right:15px; border-right:solid 2px #CCC } #rightSideBar { float:left; padding-left:15px; width:207px } #footer { clear:both; padding:20px 0; background:red url(/images/footerBG.gif) repeat-x top } HAAAAALLLLLPPP thanks m Hi, Im not sure whats going wrong with this, but I have two DIV elements on the page: 1st div "googleMap" CSS for googleMap: #googleMap { height: 300px; width: 500px; float: left; } 2nd div "page_right" CSS for page_right: #page_right { width: 300px; clear: left; float: right; } Could someone please tell me why page_right DIV is not clearing the googleMap div? I've just about had enough so hope some kind person will no the answer!! Here is the live page (showing the flaw): belvoir-mortgages.co.uk/contact.php Thanks Lee |
