CSS - Negative Margin Issue
I've got an "IE" issue! This CSS code looks perfect in IE7 and Firefox. It is a photo box that offsets 225 pixels to the left of the text box.
Code: #inside_offset_image {
width: 319px;
float: left;
margin-left: -225px;
margin-right: 30px;
margin-bottom: 30px;
}
But when I test in IE5.5 and IE6, this photo box runs almost completely off the left side of the browser. The actual test page is located he http://penncomm.com/bean/inside.html Any ideas? Similar TutorialsBackground 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?

In FF3 this code behaves correctly but not in IE6. The main content disappears. Any ideas why and how to fix it? Code:

im using (stripped most) CSS: Code:
h3 {
margin-top:-10px;
}
in this HTML Code: <h1>Header</h1> <h3>subtitle</h3> i want the <h3> the overlap the <h1> partly, like defined in the CSS. It works fine in every browser, but in IE, the rest of the page is distored because of the negative margin definition. is there any workaround for this when i scroll down and up again the background color is gone... i see this happening when some of the div's inside some container get negative margin for some overlapping effect sorry i have not the source immediatly but maybe you know what can cause this behaviour in IE? otherwise i trim the code for display here.... Hi. The main gallery image is pushed down from the top of the logo on the page below: http://zombiemod.com/rm/nina2/main.php?g2_itemId=14 I want to move this block on the right up. I believe this uses the main-image-container div as shown below, but when I put a negative top margin on this div it doesnt move. The is the CSS I tried for the main-image-container div: Code: margin-top: -70px; This is the HTML: Code: <div id="content">
<div id="main-image-container" {if $theme.imageCount == 0}style="display:none"{/if}>
{if $theme.imageCount > 0}
<div id="slideshow-controlsx">
<ul id="control-buttonsx">
<li><button id="controls-left"><img src="{g->theme url="images/controls-left.png"}" alt="{g->text text="Left"}" /></button></li>
<li><button id="controls-play"><img src="{g->theme url="images/controls-right.png"}" alt="{g->text text="Play"}" /></button></li>
<li><button id="controls-right"><img src="{g->theme url="images/controls-right.png"}" alt="{g->text text="Right"}" /></button></li>
</ul>

Why didnt my negative top margin work? Hello everyone, I am working on a website redesign and I just cannot fix one certain bug that I am having in IE7. I have this layout that I made and am using which works great cross browser here mactyler.com/NEWIDF/ Now I am integrating a PHP script into it and am having a hard time to get it to display the sidebar in IE7. iphonedevforums.com/news/index.php I think it might have something to do with the margin-left: -100%; that I am using on the sidebar div to align it vertically. It works and shows up in every browser except IE. If you guys could show me any way to get it working I would greatly appreciate it. Any ideas are welcome, I will try to be as helpfull as possible in answering your questions. Hope someone can advise me what's going on. I'm trying to make a page which has a div floated to the left of another div, which is absolutely positioned. There is another one floated to the right. I am using relative positioning to accommodate for different browser resolutions. This seems to work perfectly in FF and IE7 but IE6 seems to ignore the negative margin. Funny thing is that while the page is loading it is in the right place momentarily, but then it jumps back to the position it would be in without the negative margin. The page and the CSS all validates fine. <div id="main"> <div id="leftdiv" class="floatleft"> <p class="bold">Do you... </p></div> <div id="rightdiv" class="floatright"> <p class="bold right">Would you </p> </div> </div> #main { position: absolute; height: 70%; width: 70%; left: 5%; top: 100px; overflow: auto; } #leftdiv { position:relative; margin-left: -109px; top: 50%; margin-top: -160px; left: 20%; width: 198px; height: 299px; padding: 10px; } #rightdiv { position:relative; top: 50%; margin-top: -160px; right: 20%; margin-right: -109px; width: 198px; height: 299px; padding: 10px; } .floatleft {float:left;} .floatright {float:right; } 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? 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 This main navigation does not display properly in Safari and I was hoping somone might be able to tell me why http://hometown.tmhdesign.com Hi all, I've been reading this forum for a while now, but never had to post anything before. I've hit a snag whilst working on my new personal site. Its all fine in Firefox, I'm using a Wordpress engine to spit out 'posts' which are actually folio items, however IE, after the first one, the second one and every one after that have some extreme margin/padding issue so that the content area is only maybe 20px wide. www dot lucas-starbuck dot com forwardslash design is the site address, any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks, Lucas Hello, first post here =) I'm having a margin/border problem where it is showing up the way I want it to in IE but not in FF. Here is the URL: http://www.prj2501.com Here is the CSS: http://www.prj2501.com/puppetmaster.css DOCTYPE is XHTML-STRICT In IE you will notice the extra border below the nav followed by the padding for the content ID which places the H3 where I want it. In FF, the border and the padding are both gone. In trying to debug this, I notice nothing I do above the H3(padding,margin,etc.) takes effect in FF...yet left and right padding do. The only way to get it to move down is BR tags and I'd rather not do that. Any ideas, suggestions? I am just now getting the hang of CSS so if you see anything glaring that does not seem best-practice, by all means point it out. Thanks in advance. Take a look at http://actrucking.com/. I just added the orange link towards the middle of the page that says "Get a FREE Online Quote Now!!" I'd like to push it down a bit so it is more centered in the blue area, but I can't seem to get the text to acknowledge margin or padding? Here are what the styles look like: Code: #tlCallBox { background:#336799; height:75px; display:block; float:left; width:868px; margin-left:10px; position:relative; margin-bottom:30px}
#tlCallBox h2{ color:white; font-size:19px; margin: 15px 0 0 30px}
#tlCallBox p { color:White; margin-left:32px}
#tlCallBox b { margin:20px 0 0 120px; font-weight:bold; font-size:20pt}
Remove. Please look at the main navigation on this site www.downtowntransmission.com I have it exactly how I want it in IE7 but it is a bit off in FF. Mouseover the Contact link and Gallery Link and you will see what I mean. Is there some small adjustment I can make to make it look the same in both? As a side note, do you like the site? T Please look at this layout Layout Example In IE7 there is a gap between the footer and upper divs that I am not sure what is causing. The other issue I would appreciate help with is the #right div element. When the #content div has a higher height I want the #right div element to stretch with it (and vice versa). Any help would be appreciated. Tom Hello, I am working on a site. theweedkiller dot com I have 3 links which are being laid out using a <ul> The problem is the margin between home and service is fine, but the margin between services and contact seems to be double the size. I have tried adding display:inline; and it seemed to do nothing. I am getting this problem in Chrome, Firefox, and IE8. I am using a CSS reset too. Heres is the HTML I am using - <div id="nav"> <ul> <li> <a href="index.html" id="current">Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="services.html">Service</a> </li> <li> <a href="contact.html">Contact</a> </li> </ul> </div> <!--end of nav div--> Heres is the CSS I am using - #nav ul { margin-left:370px; list-style-type:none; } #nav ul li { float:left; display:inline; } #nav ul li a { font-family:"Myriad Pro", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; color:#302013; padding:25px 50px 5px 50px; background-image:url(images/nav.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; text-decoration:none; display:inline; margin-right:10px;!important } #nav ul li a:hover { font-family:"Myriad Pro", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; color:#fff; background-image:url(images/nav-over.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; text-decoration:none; } #nav #current { font-family:"Myriad Pro", Arial, sans-serif; font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; color:#fff; background-image:url(images/nav-over.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; text-decoration:none; } I have no clue why this is happening. Any help would be useful. Thanks! http://www.bath.ac.uk/~su2photo/test.php i've been playing around with the css, trying to get the page to display properly, and i get something which i'm reasonably happy with in firefox, but as always when cross checking, ie drops the ball. this time however, the the difference doesn't seem to be consistent . The two boxes you see, should both have titles flush to the top of their containers. In ie, only one seems to manage this. html: PHP Code: <div id="menubox"> <div class="topic"> <h3>Menu</h3> </div> <div id="menubody"> <ul> <li><a href="index.php?s=1">Introduction</a></li><li><a href="index.php?s=2">Organisation</a></li><li><a href="index.php?s=3">Galleries</a></li><li><a href="index.php?s=4">Communication</a></li><li><a href="index.php?s=5">Equipment</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="mainbox"> <div class="topic"> <h3>Introduction</h3> </div> <div id="main"> <p> Text <br /><br /> Text </p> </div> </div> css: PHP Code: html, body{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; color: #FFF; background-color: #000; text-align: center; } #logoimg{ border: 0px; width: 90px; height: 90px; } div#container{ position: relative; top: 50px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; width: 900px; } div#mainbox{ float: left; padding-bottom: 15px; border: 1px solid #290000; background-color: #130000; width: 630px; text-align: center; } div#menubox{ float: right; border: 1px solid #290000; background-color: #130000; width: 230px; text-align: center; } div#main{ margin: 0 auto; width: 600px; text-align: left; } div#menubody{ margin: 0 auto; width: 200px; text-align: left; } div.topic{ text-align: left; background-color: #290000; } h3{ padding-left: 10px; margin-top: 0; } ul{ list-style-type: none; text-align: left; } this one's got me fuzzled, any idea? (if my whole technique is all wrong, then can you suggest a better way?) cheers guys (I apologise for the length of this , i did attempt to cut it down ) been tearing my hair out with this problem I've been doing an expanding menu for drupal and functionally it works perfect. You click on the legend, it expands the fieldset. However I'm having major difficulties on the CSS side of things. The problem is that when I adjust the height of the legend to fit the background image, it doesn't push the other fieldsets down in IE 7 and 8 but it does in Firefox and (oddly) IE6. Given that means a ~20 pixel gap between menu items in Firefox compared to none in IE7,8 it means the menu always looks ugly in one of the two sets of browers. Here's the CSS in question (displays ok in IE7,8 but spaced out in FF): Code: fieldset.accordian
{
border:none;
margin-top:8px;
padding-bottom:3px;
width:205px;
}
legend
{
background-image: url('images/menubg.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:205px;
line-height:37px;
height:37px;
}
