CSS - ...width Isn't Working In Anything But Firefox. O_o
Hi there!
My website (Yes.. I'm aware I use tables. Sue me. :P) has been driving me crazy CSS-wise. width:100% doesn't seem work right! Well, I know it does... but it hasn't been, and I have no idea why. As you can see in that page (and the forums too....) the black-bordered table underneath each subheader stretches too far in everything but Firefox. In Opera, not only does the black-bordered table stretch too far, but the subheading stretch... too little. O_o I am at a complete loss for words at this. Also, might I point out that when you visit a song on the site, the file type navigation (#sheetNav in the CSS file) works just fine? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. For your convenience, here is the CSS file. Yes, it's something of a mess... forgive me. http://apollomix.com/master.css Thanks a lot! Similar TutorialsHi, Hopefully someone can help with this little problem. I've got a JavaScript menu ... // JavaScript start. document.write("<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='1' bordercolor='#999999' bgcolor='f5f5f5' width='100%'>"); document.write("<TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Body Lotion") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/bodylotion.html'>****Body Lotion</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/bodylotion.html'>****Body Lotion</a>"); } document.write("</TD></TR><TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Shower Gel") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/showergel.html'>****Shower Gel</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/showergel.html'>****Shower Gel</a>"); } document.write("</TD></TR><TR><TD class='MenuBackground'>"); if (MenuOption == "Soaps") { document.write("<a class='MenuOn' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/soaps.cgi'>****Soaps</a>"); } else { document.write("<a class='MenuOff' href='http://www.natureshedgerow.com/soaps.cgi'>****Soaps</a>"); } // Menu Bottom. document.write("</TD></TR></table></td></tr></table>"); // JavaScript end. ...and associated CSS file... // css start. .MenuBackground { WIDTH: 110px; BACKGROUND: #f5f5f5; margin: 0; padding: 0; } a.MenuOn:link { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:visited { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:active { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #b4b4b4; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOn:hover { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #ffffff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c9c9c9; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 100% } a.MenuOff:link { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } a.MenuOff:visited { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } a.MenuOff:active { FONT-SIZE: 11px; color: #33ccff; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; text-decoration: none; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5; WIDTH: 100%; } // css end. What I expect to happen is that when I scroll over the menu options the whole line should become highlighted. This works fine in IE, but for some reason it doesn't in Firefox. Firefox only highlights the text (as shown in the JavaScript code). Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong? url = http://www.natureshedgerow.com Thank you in advance PS. I've already fixed a few other problems I've found between IE and Firefox (hopefully this isn't a sign of poor worksmanship on my behalf ) 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). css Code: Original - css Code #main-nav { background-color: black; height: 40px; } #nav { position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { position: relative; float: left; display: table; width: 99px; height: 40px; border-right: 1px solid white; text-align: center; font-size: 10px; } #nav li:hover { background-color: darkred; } #nav a { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; padding: 0; background-color: gray; top: 40px; left: 0px; } #nav li ul li { width: 98px; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid white; } #main-nav html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="main-nav"> <ul id="nav"> <li id="m1"><a href="#1">Main Menu 1</a></li> <li> <a href="#2">Main Menu 2</a> <ul> <li><a href="#2a">Sub-Category 1</a></li> <li><a href="#2b">Sub-Category<br/>with multiple lines</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#3">Main Menu 3 with multiple lines</a> <ul> <li><a href="#3a">Sub-Category 2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#4">Main Menu item which has a really long name on it</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="main-nav"> 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. Hey, I need to get a div to expand to the full width of a page in firefox. IE seems to do this automatically. Say I have this layout; Code: <div style="float:left; width:30px;">first column</div> <div style="float:left; width:100%;">second column</div> In firefox, this puts the second div on a new row and expands it to the full width of the page; | 30px | | 100% | I want it to stay on the same row as the first div, and use the available space; |30px| |left over width (100%)| I can get this working in IE but i'm struggling with firefox... Thanks for your time, -Ross As simple as the problem sounds, Im completely puzzled by what could be going wrong. The problem is if I set the width of my div too 100%, it wont show up in Firefox. It works fine if I define it in pixels, but I want it to just stretch. Using a % works fine in IE. Here is the code: Code:
#left {
width:100%;
height:598px;
padding:0;
background: #EEF;
display: table-cell;
background: url("bg.gif") top left repeat-x;
}
Anyone have any ideas? The template I am working on is a simple HTML page that I want to modify to work in Joomla. However the look of the site is not quite the same in Firefox (where it looks good) and IE8 where one part of it I could not make right for two days. The left sidebar is shorter and the content right side is shorter and not aligned. I am aware that is something small but I could not get it right. Please help. The URL is: compasstgdotcom/~orak the css in questions is: base.css Thank you all Hi, I'm having a problem, I'm using the chunk of css code below to make a horizontal menu that I want to run across the 895 px #container that I've created. The menu fits perfectly in IE, but in firefox it overflows the last menu button the next line. How do I get the css menu to be the exact same width in firefox and IE?? Here's the css: Code: #snav ul
{
float:left;
width:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
}
a
{
float:left;
width:7.9em;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:center;
color:black;
background-color:#eed9ac;
padding:0.2em 0.6em;
border-right:1px solid black;
}
a:hover {background-color:#e7bb5b; text-decoration:underline; color:#9b2f1e}
li {display:inline}
Thanks for looking! I use this in IE: <span style="width:22"></span> as a blank spacer. The 22 is actually calculated so it varies. Of course it does not work in Firefox. I get no spacing at all. What is the acceptable cross browser method of doing this? Thanks in advance. Please delete... Firefox 3.6 is showing a blank screen for everything I have set as 100% width but looks ok in Firefox 5. My main concern at this point is this: I'm trying to figure out how to move the 4 navigation items (the owl, contact, portfolio and home) closer to the tree without going over or under it. Any help or suggestions I can get are much appreciated! ------------------------------------- Here's the HTML: Code:

NEVER MIND. Got it. lol Hello all! I've problem with firefox rendering's of span tag, the problem is in the width definition, the code is this: Code: <span style="width:100%; background:red">My name is Danny!</span> IE show me a 100% red row with the text instead Firefox show me only text with the backgroud color. Why this? is a Firefox bug or is not possible to assign width definition to the span tag?! Hi, can anybody help me stretch green buttons for Firefox just like they appear in IE? I'd greatly appreciate the help. Please see the attached html. The problem I have has arisen whilst trying to create a horizontal and a vertical navigation menu using <li> tags. It is best illustrated by the following example: Code: <div style="width:100%;height:50px;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> <br /> <div style="width:100px;height:100%;"> <ul> <li style="border:1px solid black;">Hello</li> <li>World</li> </ul> </div> and the CSS Code:
div {
border:0;
background-color:#888888;
}
ul {
margin:0;padding:0;
}
ul li {
float:left;
list-style:none;
background-color:#CCCCCC;
height:50px;
width:100px;
}
The <div> tags are set to 50px height and 100px width respectively. When an <li> element is placed within the div with the same height or width they display the way I intended. However once a 1px border is applied to the <li>'s then in IE the border is counted as part of the width or height. In Firefox the border will add 2px to the starting height and width giving the effect of width:102px or height:52px;. This is massively frustrating as I need each <li> to have the 1px border. It looks different in each browser (I have not tested it in netscape nor opera, but I suspect they will display the same as Firefox.) Can anyone provide a fix to get get round this please? Thank you in advance. The main body text in IE stays within the width I gave it, but in Firefox, it just goes off the div, its all not showing becasue I have the containing div overflow:hidden, but why won't it stay in the fixed width div, 603px, in Firefox like it does in IE? mediacontour.com/TCS/frequently-asked-questions.php I'm trying to get my submenu lists to be the same width between IE and Firefox, but they aren't equal for some reason. I'm setting the width to 8em, but it's displaying differently between the two browsers. Here's a link to the page Here is my css: Code:

Hello all. This is a problem I am encountering on many placing: when I put a width to an certain object (let's say 20px), and I want the text in the object to start and pixel 4px, I can use padding-left:4px; This is no problem in Internet explorer, but Firefox seems to make this object 4px wider. Instead of keeping the object 20 pixels, it becomes 24 pixels. Does anybody know how to get of this bug in Firefox? Hi, I've set in my css file a class for the <td> to set the width as follows: Code: td._20pc {
width:20%;
}
When I set the class="_20pc" of the td in the html file, the width is unaffected. Only when I explicitly set width="20%", does it work, but width is deprecated I believe so I don't want to use it. Any ideas why? Thanks Hi, I've searched various threads in this forum, even tried re-iterating the question in another similar post to no avail. How is it that in Firefox (1.0) I get overflow occuring on a nested div, yet in IE (6) I do not? i would like vertical scrollbars ONLY, if content is overflowing and not horizontal scrollbars-using a WC3 valid solution if possible. Thanks in advance A snippet of my css... PHP Code: /*css document*/ /* container div class*/ .outer{ width: 336px; height: 448px; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; float: left; margin: 0 0 0 10px; background-color: #ffffff; /*background:url("../images/pg_curl.gif") top right no-repeat;*/ } /* inner-content div class*/ .inner { width: 298px; height: 388px; border-color: #000000; border-width: 1px; /*margin: 34px 0 0 19px;*/ margin: 2px 0px 0px 19px; font-size: 12px; /*line-height: 15px;*/ color: #000000; clear: both; /*scrollbars for content overflow*/ overflow:auto; } /* Example of problem: at the momment, in Firefox inserting this into the .inner classed div is creating horizonal overflow*/ .navigation { width: 298px; } .navigation ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } .navigation li { border-bottom: 1px solid #ED9F9F; } .navigation li a:link, .navigation li a:visited { display: block; padding: 2px 2px 2px 0.5em; border-left: 10px solid #711515; border-right: 1px solid #711515; background-color: #B51032; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } .navigation li a:hover { background-color: #711515; color: #FFFFFF; } .navigation ul ul { margin-left: 12px; } .navigation ul ul li { border-bottom: 1px solid #711515; margin:0; } .navigation ul ul a:link, .navigation ul ul a:visited { background-color: #ED9F9F; color: #711515; } .navigation ul ul a:hover { background-color: #711515; color: #FFFFFF; } So I'm having what I think are CSS issues with a site... I'm supposedly a "new user" though I've been registered for a long time, and just not used this account in a long time, so I can't show my URL's here... tried to abbreviate them... I'm not sure how to show you what the issues are if I'm not allowed to post URLs. Anyone with any suggestions there? This looks fine in IE, but not in Firefox. On (blocked) the main content that sits in the middle of the page sits in an 800px div called "page". I've set the background color for that to be white: FFFFFF, which Internet Explorer seems to understand. But Firefox seems to be leaving "page" to be transparent. This means that either the left div (content) or the right div (reef-job) ends when the content inside of it ends, rather than continuing down to the bottom of the "page" content. I'm not sure how to fix it for Firefox. Again, it's all the pages inside of (carrieandjonathan [dot] com /island-reef-job) and the stylesheet is at (carrieandjonathan [dot] com / island-reef-job / mt-island-reef-job.css) #page { width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0px 0; background-color:#ffffff; } Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank-you in advance! Warmest, Jonathan Hi all, I'm trying to create a simple menu with rollover links using CSS, but while it works in IE, it stops as soon as the link text ends in Firefox. Is this because Friefox is ignoring the width and heigh commands in CSS? And is there any way to fix this? If so, how? I've got this working on Firefox Code:
.menu_item {
}
.menu_item a:link{
width: 163px;
height: 21px;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-left: 20px;
background-image: url(menu_rollover_0.gif);

Cheers. I am trying to teach myself doing a tableless website using css and I am starting with header then working my way down I spent all day trying to serach a way to stop the right end image cap to jump down the next row when firefox width browser is shrinked down but it doesn't do that in IE .. Here the url http://www.prismaze.com/ it showing only the header right now and it what I am having issue with .. there are 3 images in it .. left and right and the background .. Here the html and css <body> <div id="logoheader"> <img src="templates/stlaware/images/stlaware_01.png" width="548" height="90" border="0" align="left" /> <img src="templates/stlaware/images/stlaware_05.png" width="55" height="90" border="0" align="right" /> </div> </body> </html> ------------------------ the css ------------------------ body { margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; background-color : #FFFFFF ; } #logoheader { background: url(../images/stlaware_03.png) repeat; height: 90px; width: 100%; } How do you stop image on the right side of the header (stlaware_05.png) from wrapping to the next row if Firefox browser is sized down in width? Thanks .. Bill |
