CSS - Margin Variations
Hi,
I created a css sheet for my website. The main problem though is that the form alignment keeps varying when using different browsers. Now i realize that using em is normally more consistent that px or percentage. However, I am still having problems after using em. This is my code: Code:
body{
font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:13px;
}
div.cecbanner
{
border:none #b7ddf2 ;
width: 52em;
margin:0 auto;
}
div.orgBar
{
display:none;
}
div.otherOrgName
{
display:none;
}
h4.red{
font-size:9px;
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom:8px;
color: red;
}
p, h1, form, button{border:0; margin:0; padding:0;}
.spacer{clear:both; height:1px;}
/* ----------- My Form ----------- */
.myform{
margin:0 auto;
width:50em;
padding:14px;
}
/*------------Generate Report -------*/
.mygen
{
margin:0 auto;
width:60em;
padding:14px;
}
/* ----------- stylized ----------- */
#stylized{
border:solid #b7ddf2;
background:white;
}
#stylized h1 {
font-size:16px;
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom:8px;
}
#stylized p{
font-size:13px;
color:#483D8B;
margin-bottom:20px;
padding-bottom:10px;
}
#stylized label{
font-weight:bold;
text-align:right;
width:5em;
margin-right: 3em;
float:left;
}
#stylized input{
float:left;
font-size:12px;
padding:4px 2px;
border:solid 1px #aacfe4;
width:12.5em;
margin-left: 4em;
}
#stylized select{
float:left;
font-size:12px;
padding:4px 2px;
border:solid 1px #aacfe4;
width:auto;
margin-left: 4em;
}
#stylized button{
clear:both;
margin-left:150px;
width:140px;
height:20px;
background:#666666 url(img/button.png) no-repeat;
text-align:center;
line-height:31px;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
}
#stylized textarea
{
float:left;
font-size:12px;
padding:4px 2px;
border:solid 1px #aacfe4;
margin-left: 4em;
}
more specifically, my form input, select and textarea fields' margins vary between browsers. Any advise or help with this issue would be gr8. Thks! Similar TutorialsI'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? 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?

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 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! 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 there, I have recently stumbled about a problem I had with another website I made as well, but since it was at the very bottom back then I kinda ignored it. My new website has this right in the header though, and so I decided to ask for help. Works perfectly in Gecko based browsers, though. I have the problem that I have to Div's right after each other which both have a top and bottom margin of zero, but there is a visible gap between them, only in IE though (header and content as well as content and footer) and in Opera 7.54 at the very bottom. The colors of the background PNG are also broken in IE, never mind that, will exchange that with a JPG. Website in question is http://cyxxon.com, WordPress with my own template. Had the same problem with a website completely handcoded by me. Any ideas? Thomas Hi, Im creating a list that shows a photo and personal data of people. It's he http://tiregarfio.byethost17.com/web/frontend_dev.php/miembros username: fer password: m When i load it with IE6 i can see the list, but between the photos there are little space. I FF there isn't any space. Is that the bug of the "doubled margin" of IE6? Regards Javi Hello, I am working on my website w w w . pujckyvcr . c z and there is problem with IE. Firefox is ok, in top menu, there is text with same margin from top and bottom. When you look on it in IE, text is 1px upper and text is more to up. Then hover isn't symmetrical from top and bottom in menu. Do you know how to fix thix IE bug? Thanks you, Jiri Hi All, I am having a hard time aligning an element on my site. The problem is I am floating an element to the left and it wont cross all the way to the right, its like the margin to the right doesnt exist and the text goes to the next line when there is room (so it seems) to the right. Go to j4media.com to see what I mean...look in the sidebar and the problem is in the first bullet under the 'recent message board posts'. Here's the CSS: Code:
.sidecnt { /* individual container in sidebar */ background: #040c0f url(jimg/sb_bg1.jpg) repeat-x; width: 245px; height: auto; border: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 6px solid #172e34; padding: 2px 2px 7px 2px; }.sidecnt h2 { /* container title image */ float: left; } .sidecnt h3 { /* container title */ float: right; color:#050608; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-size: 10px; }.sidecnt h4 { /* tag text */ float:left; margin: 25px -12px 2px 1px; /* top, right, bottom, left */ padding-bottom: 5px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } .sidecnt1 { /* individual container in sidebar - other than tag box */ background: #FFFFFF url(jimg/sb_bg1.jpg) repeat-x; width: 245px; height: auto; border: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 6px solid #172e34; padding: 2px 2px 7px 2px; }.sidecnt1 h2 { /* container title image */ float: left; } .sidecnt1 h3 { /* container title */ float: right; color:#050608; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; font-size: 10px; }.sidecnt1 h4 { /* text elements */ float:left; margin: 25px -12px 2px 1px; /* top, right, bottom, left */ padding-bottom: 5px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } .sidecnt1 ul { float:left; margin-top: 25px; /*top, right, bottom, left*/ padding-bottom: 1px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
and here's the HTML: Code:

Again sorry for my ignorance. ( just incase its viewable here ) i am having a serious issue with ie 7 i really need help. i am using a center layout using 900px the center layout looks and works fine in all browsers except for ie7 i have used a border for the wrapper tag. what i have noticed only in the case of ie7 is the left border for the wrapper tag starts a few pixels 2px or 3px before compared to all other browsers and due to this in ie7 the right border ends a few pixels when compared to all other browsers. so if i can fix the left border the right border for the wrapper tag will adjust automatically. i am using a valid xhtml transitional document. following is my 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> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Background image</title> <style type="text/css"> body { text-align: center; margin: 0; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; } #wrapper { width: 900px; text-align: left; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid #ffff00; } p{ margin: 0; padding: 0; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <p>Content </p> </div></body></html> ------------------------------- can someone please tell me what the issue is and what the code should be. i would highly appreciate any help as this is an issue in ie7 and not in other browsers. thanks. Hey everyone. Well I am making a forum. And I need to use a margin-right for the main content(because I know of no other way to do it). They problem is, FireFox doesnt respond to the margin-right. Here is my (troubled) CSS. css Code: Original - css Code #main-content{ margin-left: 10px; width: 100%; }
#main-content{
And my XHTML. Code: <div id="main-content">Blahblahblah</div><!--Fairly simple :D--> I am using XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Hi I am trying to define margins of a div so that the text near it can be displayed with a space, please click here to the see the sample but it is not affecting the text and the text strikes the borders of the div. Code: <div style='float: right; border:solid 1px; padding-left: 5px; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom: 5px; marign-left: 5px;'> Can anyone guide me please how to give some space between the text and the div borders? thanks yui.lastsong.net/projecthealth I'm having problems getting the above page to show up correctly in IE6. My headers have a negative left margin and, for some reason, paragraphs below these headers seem also to be displaying this negative margin. It doesn't happen for all paragraphs, and I haven't been able to discern any pattern. The following page is an example of this: yui.lastsong.net/projecthealth/?page=team-staff Additionally, this page is misaligned, despite using essentially the same coding from my other pages (with the exception of the content): yui.lastsong.net/projecthealth/?page=impact-families Any ideas on how to fix this? Greetings, The following webpage works in firefox but not in ie: http://resonantprogramming.com/homen.html For some reason the menu does not show up correctly. I want the menu to show up within the top gradient graphic, but ie doesn't like that for some reason. I did alter the z-index value to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks Hi, i am very new to css and I am confused about the difference between margin-top vs top please help Regards Ltoso Can someone tell me why margin-top won't work on the administration bar on this page: *** removed *** ? You'll see there's a margin-top of 15px pix on the administration bar, but it butts up against the main nav bar. Thanks! (ps this is a backup, but I'll remove the link shortly anyway). Hello, I don't understand how to fix this right margin problem in IE 6. Of course, the code renders correctly in FF Mac/Win but I can't get the margin right to correctly display as 30px in IE 6. If you can help me out I would appreciate it. Code: #altnavcontainer
{
margin: 68px 30px 0px 0px;
padding: 0;
width: 264;
float: right;
/*border: 1px solid red;*/
}
<div id="altnavcontainer">
<a href="info.php?pt=info" onmouseover="document.info.src=info_on.src" onmouseout="document.info.src=info_off.src"><img name="info" src="images/info_off.png" alt="Info Off" /></a>
