CSS - Can't Rid Ie Of Extra Spacing
Similar TutorialsUm... OK so I wrote a post asking if anybody knew why something was displaying incorrectly on my site, but due to forum rules I wasn't allowed to include any links. So how can I show you the problem if I can't show you? Also, the link saying "see forum rules for more information" didn't have any more information. Like, how many posts until I can ask for help and actually show what the problem is? Hi there guys, This is a pretty specific problem to my website, but I can't seem to find out why part of my navigation list moves down when an element is shown by Javascript in IE. So I can't plug in a url into this post, so I suppose I'll just explain the problem. I have a list navigation with images, and within one of the list elements is another nested list. When I click on the link that then uses JS to display the subnavigation, the link below that shifts down something like four pixels when its not supposed to, and I couldn't fix it by playing with CSS for some reason, but I'm assuming the problem is hidden in there somewhere. I've been trying to resolve this for a couple days; if anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Hello all, firstly, thank you for all you contribute to this question. I have a website (as everyone does) which has a problem (which i always do). I have an embeded flash file and 2 lines of text which are seperated into 2 different divs inside a table cell. I am using css to position these texts over the flash file, which is just fine. The only problem I am recieving is that while using the position: relative in css for these it leaves extra unneeded space under the flash file where the text would be if they were not being positioned. Here is the page wit hthe problem: Look at the header So I am stumped. I have posted away in other CSS forums and have received no replies at all, I have googled it many times and found the same problem, but the solution will only work for that individuals situation. So, what can be done. Here is my html for the header cell: Code: <table id=main cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td class=head colspan=2 height=144px> <param name="movie" value="test.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <embed src='images/test.swf' width=762px height=144px wmode="transparent" style="z-index: 1;" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><div class='headtitle'><? echo $title; ?></div><div class='headquote'><? echo $quote; ?></div></td> </tr> And here is the css that is used by that cell: Code:
table#main {
height : 100%;
background : #ffffff;
width : 762px;
border : 0 none inherit;
border-left : 1px solid #000;
border-right : 1px solid #000;
border-top : 0 none inherit;
border-bottom : 0 none inherit;
margin : 0;
padding : 0;
}
table#main td.head {
height : 0px;
width : 762px;
background : #006699;
border : 0 none inherit;
border-bottom : 2px solid #000;
vertical-align : top;
padding : 0;
background-image: url(images/logo2.jpg);
}
table#main td.head div.flash {
position: relative;
z-index:1;
}
table#main td.head div.headtitle {
z-index:2;
font-size : 24pt;
color : #fff;
position : relative;
font-weight : bold;
left : 5px;
top : -45px;
}
table#main td.head div.headquote {
z-index:2;
font-size : 10pt;
font-weight : bold;
color : #fff;
position : relative;
text-align : right;
right : 5px;
top : -180px;
font-style: italic;
}
Im sure its something Im looking over as I am a newb at css. Thanks for all help! On my new design: http://codymays.net/~private_ftp/theed The header and footer of the green block have a space on them and I cannot figure out why. I had this problem with the design before, but I started over and now I only have this issue with IE6 and below. It works in all other browsers. I can clear the spaces if I set the margin-top of the block's content area to -4 and the footer's margin-top to -4. But once this is done, IE then redraws the div at the bottom of the page for no apparent reason. Any ideas/suggestions on what to do here would be appreciated. Thanks, Cody http://www.zombiepolitics.com Just when I thought I had this down .. I dont. I have a CSS layout .. there are two main divs side by side, the navigation rests at the top of the right div. problem is in IE 6 there is so much extra space at the top that my navigation doesnt line up with my header .. in FF its no problem. What is the workaround for this? Hi, I am new here, asked this question at another forum and never got an answer so I hope someone here can help. "Is there any way to remove 200px from the bottom of my site and keep the same layout using divs? I had to give the wide div next to the thin one a top: -208px to get it to line up with the thin one. and then I had to bring up the copyright one the same way so it lined up under them. Now I am stuck with an extra 200px under them (really it's 208, but I want an 8px space at the bottom)." Site: http://www.kendallstudios.com/index2.php CSS File: http://www.kendallstudios.com/styles/standard.css Hi guys, I'm pretty new to CSS. I had this style sheet set up, and it was working in Firefox just fine. When I tested it on IE, the center logo instead of being approximately 15 pixels down from the top, it's right at the top. I was able to get those 15 pixels to appear in IE with 2 changes, but now there is an extra 15 pixels in Firefox, so it is down approx. 30 pixels. Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong, or provide a hack that will fix it? css Code: Original - css Code /* This CSS works in FF. I have put the changes in comments that will make it work in IE.

So I am trying to move from designing in <tables> and move on to the beauty of the CSS box-model design. I have been inspired by one of the ZenGarden designs and wanted to see if I could try and duplicate it's flow. I am running into a problem. I have created the outer box "#mainBox" and nested within this I have a child "#pageHeader." Problem is that there is this big amount of space (that is present in both IE6 AND FireFox 1.0) at the bottom of "#pageHeader." See the attached pic for the exact detail. Here is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

Thanks in advanced for any help! I am developing a website using CSS. I have created a navigation bar and associated styles. In each of the 4 menu drop downs, the third item has an extra border that stretches beyond the width and is in about the center of the item. I have reviewed, tried this, and tried that but cannot find out why the extra border occurs. If someone could help, I would appreciate the help a great deal. You can find the developing website at tamp.trustedtechpro.com and the css at tamp.trustedtechpro.com/styles/ff3.tamp.css Thanks. I'm having some troubles getting my div to appear correctly. WHat I want is for the div to be completely contained by a FLASH movie with no whitespace. In Firefox I'm getting an approximately 5px tall white bar at the top. TWH is the url, the flash movie only appears on the main page. My container div uses a background image with a greenish colored 200px left edge, and then a white edge to fill the rest. I know this is what's coming through, but what baffles me is that even when specifying a background color for my div it's not coming through. Here is some of the code: CSS: Code:
#container {
width: 760px;
height: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
overflow: auto;
background: url('../images/style/container_back.jpg') repeat-y;
border-bottom: 20px solid #6e868f;
}
#lcol {
width: 200px;
height: 380px;
float: left;
text-align: left;
}
#nav {
height: auto;
background-color: #000000;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#nav ul
{
list-style: none;
padding: 20px 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#nav ul li
{
padding: 7px;
}
#info {

text-align: center;

}
#flashcontent
{
width: 560px;
height: 380px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;

}

<div id="lcol">
<div id="nav"></div>

http://josephman1988.tripod.com/ Test page. In FF, the gap between the 2 horizontal lines at the bottom is more narrow then it is in IE. Why? And how can i fix this? Thanks for the help. Joe. I keep forgetting to write these little fixes down, but this is a good time to start. As usual I've come to a crossroad I cannot seem to get passed. In IE6 my layout looks fine, all but a little extra space at the top of my center div in a three column layout. Ive tried all variations of padding: 0px and margin: 0px in both the center div and its containing div. If someone could kindly point the error to me, I promise to write it down this time .. and never ask again ;0) Site: http://www.ioforge.com/development/ CSS: http://www.ioforge.com/development/includes/style.css I'm working on a web site that has a jFlow slideshow (not implemented just yet) and I was mocking up a page with just a plain img in its place. When the page is viewed in FF 3.5, there is extra space to the right and bottom of the image. However, it shows as expected in IE8. I can't figure this out for the life of me. If I "use border box model" from the Google Web Developer toolbar in FF, it shows as desired as well. Here's a link to the file: http://www.websimage.com/3238/index2.html I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and I'm getting nowhere but frustrated, so any help you could provide would be *greatly* appreciated. EDIT: I've found some information regarding box-models, and have applied the -moz-box-model: border-box; which seems to have eliminated the additional space within the gray div...however, there is an additional 10px of unwanted padding on the right & left of it now. I can live with this, but I don't want to if I don't have to. Edit #2: If I take out the margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; (to center it) the extraneous padding is not on the left, but is added to the extraneous padding on the right. All the math adds up when it comes to the widths and padding specified for the respective "wrappers" so I'm at a loss as to what's causing this. Hi, Can anyone please explain why the more text I add to the main content area 'full-size' div.... the more spacing gets added below it. Is there a way to stop this? example herel Code:

I have 2 columns. The main one and the sidebar. The problem is that the sidebar extends down the page further then the main column. I am using a color in the background. The color does not extend all the way down. The main area stops about half way down the sidebar and just leaves white space there. The whole page is colored except for this square of white in the middle. Also if I extend the main area content to be longer then the sidebar then the sidebar will have white underneath it instead. Hi all, Really strange problem with IE (as usual). I've done an English site with a typical left and main content structure, as you can see on: http://www.ntcjapan.com/index2.php The English site is left-aligned, and works fine. Now I'm doing an Arabic version and the site needs to be center aligned. Keeping things really simple, please see the following site: http://ntcjapan.com/languages/arabic/english.html The HTML: Code: <div id="container"> <div id="left"> <!-- NAVIGATION --> test right section </div> <div id="main"> test main section </div> <div class="spacer_small"> </div> </div> The CSS: Code:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
width: 764px;
background: url(../images/0_bg_center.gif) repeat-y;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto;
}
#main {
width: 590px;
padding-top: 115px;
padding-left: 9px;
background: url(../../../images/0_logo.gif) no-repeat;
float: left;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 1px;
}
/* Hack for IE, Reset to 100% height */
* html #container {
height: 100%;
}
/* End IE Hack */
#left {
width: 158px;
float: right;
}
Ok, you can ignore the height stuff because that works on the original English site. The problem is the width/margin on IE. The "left" section is actually now floating right, and is meant to be the navigation. The "container" section is 100% height and provides those background orange and grey vertical lines which I need. The "main" section has a margin-left of 1px, because I want it to be right next to the first orange line. On FIREFOX, this looks fine, you can see the background NTC logo actually touching the orange left line, hence we know it is using the margin-left: 1px correct. IE however, seems to add a bit of space and it looks as if I specified a margin-left: 2px for IE! Basically, in IE, the logo never 'touches' the orange line. This causes lots of problems when inserting content and trying to fit the exact width of the container, since IE seems to use one extra pixel than Firefox,and overflows if I try to use the exact width (764px) of the container. A demonstration of the problem on IE: http://ntcjapan.com/languages/arabic/ieprob.gif Any help, please?? I am working on a site and have found a problem that I can't explain on my own. I would like someone to look at this site: http://www.canada-training-group.ca and tell me why there is extra space at the top in IE but not in Firefox. Thanks, Timmy-d never mind. For some reason, I cannot for the life of me figure out why Firefox is adding space at the top of my page. I have a container div that contains my header, body, and footer. I have done this: Code: #container{
width: 732px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
Too me that should fix the issue. I even tried applying that code to the body{ ... } but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else gone through this before. There is no space in IE6 or IE7. Thanks, teamhonda81 |
