CSS - Ie Spacing Problem
I just launched my first website and I am having a little problem with spacing, it is pretty obvious. I tried the _ hack, and I played with some padding, but I couldn't get the thing to budge in IE.
the site is (psugmb.com) Please help! Thank you! ::Kyle Similar TutorialsWell, I am stumped as they say. I have a horizontal menu bar which I am unable to get it to display with the same amount of space above and below it with IE and firefox. So if you would take a look at this page http://www.cacct.com/new/mission.php and here is the style sheet http://www.cacct.com/new/css/sitestyle.css The menu content is called by a php include. Notice the difference between IE and firefox. What I would like is the same amount of light blue above and below. Things I have tried... Adjusting the padding and margins to header and maincontent. Tried placing the menu bar in a div but in Firefox the bar actually hangs over the bottom edge of the div. I put a border around the div so I could see it. In IE it is contained within the div (though it is a bit too long for a single line there so wraps around). This probably wouldn't work anyway since the menu is a drop down and needs to overlap the maincontent. Just to look at it, I moved the menu bar up to different places. Inside the header below the address still same problem. Between the logo and address same problem. When I move it to the top, above the logo it appears to be the same distance from the top of the border. So, anyone have any ideas on how to get that spacing the same? tk In IE, there is a space between my div's. Can someone help me fix it? Attached is a sample htm and graphics or see he PHP Code: <div id="red" align="center"> <img src="red.gif" width="500" height="100"> </div> <div id="blue" align="center"> <img src="blue.gif" width="500" height="100"> </div> Thanks. On this page: http://www.poweredpages.com/newtarget/ctia/ there's an spacing problem in IE. Hover over one of the links on the main bar to get the sub link tray. Hover over the first two links in a vertical set, and it will work fine. Hover over the THIRD link, and in that link and any link below it there's extra padding on the top of it. But all these links have the exact same CSS associated with them. Very odd. Works fine in FF. Here's the code and the CSS: Code: <div id="showtray" class="tray" onmouseout="hide('showtray','linkinfo')" onmouseover="show('showtray','linkinfo')"> <div class="traynav"> <ul> <li><a href="/info/">General Information</a></li> <li><a href="/info/registration_packages.cfm">Registration Prices & Policies</a></li> <li><a href="/info/keynote_sessions.cfm">Keynote Sessions</a></li> <li><a href="/exhibit/">Exhibit Floor</a></li> <li><a href="/info/ed_sessions.cfm">CTIA Educational Sessions</a></li> </ul> </div> <!-- 5 links to a column ONLY!

I'm using nav boxes on the left and the right, and within the nav boxes I'm using unordered lists to define the menu options. In Firefox it works perfectly, in IE it adds an additional space to the bottom of each list item. Does anyone have any clue what's going on? I've tried to define the margins to 0, but that doesn't seem to do anything. http://www.mcconaha.com/css_refined.php http://www.mcconaha.com/css_refined.css Code: <div class="navbox"> <h3>Navigation</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">. News</a></li> <li><a href="#">. Junk</a></li> <li><a href="#">. Pics</a></li> <li><a href="#">. Downloads</a></li> <li><a href="#">. Links</a></li> </ul> </div><!-- end navbox --> hey guys i'm having a problem with CSS line spacing. firefox is displaying correctly of course, and IE is scrunching the lines closer. here is an example (firefox on the right, IE on the left): here is the CSS: Code: #galleriesTextContainer { height: 130px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; margin-left: 8px; line-height: 8pt; } .galleriesText { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Sans Serif; font-size: 11px; } Code: <div id="galleriesTextContainer"> <span class="galleriesText">dolphy day 2005 (132 images)<br />dolphy day 2004 (101 images)<br />buffalo wild wings (47 images)<br />lemoyne 2005 (425 images)<br />lemoyne 2004 (28 images)<br />lemoyne 2003 (147 images)<br />syracuse nationals 2004 (43 images)<br />nyc / jersey 2005 (245 images)<br />minutes monte (29 images)<br />my truck (67 images)<br />phil's t-type (70 images) </span> </div> Ok, I finally constructed the basic layout. But, I've encountered yet another problem. There seems to be a space for some odd reason between one of my images in the content div and one of the images in my news div. I want them to sit flush. Here's an image to show what my problem is: http://www.octavewebdesign.com/csshelp/spaceproblem.gif Here is the actual website: http://www.octavewebdesign.com/chilesxc/index.html The css can be found he http://www.octavewebdesign.com/chilesxc/style.css Any tips would be great. Please view in FF, as IE seems to mess it up... which is another problem for another day. Thanks. -Justin (but, if anyone has any solutions for the IE problem then that would be great to add it. For some reason IE makes the margins larger than they're supposed to be. The margin is set to 39 px, but it acts like a 50px margin for some weird reason. This causes the menu div to drop down below the content div.) Hey guys, First post here. I've scoured the web for answers, searched this forum, and visited many CSS sites (alistapart, maxdesign.com.au, positioniseverything, htmldog, etc.) and haven't seen a problem like this. I'm learning CSS as we speak (or more correctly, as I type), and here's the issue. I have a space between my #header and #page. I can't get rid of it unless I put a border around the #page. I've posted four screens here so you can see what's going on in Safari and Firefox (the two browsers I use). #1 is what the site looks like now (as the code is below). #2 is with the #header removed, #3 is with the #header removed and a 1px border put around the #page, and #4 is with the #header there and the #page has a 1px border. It seems to me that the #page has a top margin, and I've tried margin-top: 0px; and tons of other combos, but I can't get that space to go away unless I put a border around #page. Here's my css: Code: /* basic elements */ body { font: 8pt/16pt georgia; color: #000000; background: #AEAEAE url(images/butterflybg.gif) no-repeat top center; } p { font: 8pt/16pt georgia; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; } h1 { font: italic bold 14pt georgia; letter-spacing: 1px; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #000000; } h2 { font: normal bold 12pt georgia; letter-spacing: 1px; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #000000; } h3 { font: normal 12pt georgia; letter-spacing: 1px; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #000000; } a:link { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; } a:visited { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #D4CDDC; } a:hover, a:active { text-decoration: underline; color: #9685BA; } /* divs */ #header { background: url(images/2006_Header.png) no-repeat; width: 697px; height: 127px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px auto; } #page { width: 697px; background: url(images/2006_WideExt.png) repeat-y center; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; } #nav { background: url(images/2006_LNav.png) no-repeat left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; width: 175px; height: 306px; float: left; } #content { background: none transparent; margin-top: 0px; } #text { } #footer { text-align: center; } And my html: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" > <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title></title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="header"> </div> <div id="page"> <div id="nav"> </div> <div id="content"> <div id="text"> <p>put text here</p> </div> <div id="footer"> <a href="http://devshed.com" title="Forums">xhtml</a> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> Am I overlooking something simple? Hi, Why there is such a big vertical space between table and element (div class="frm_container) in Internet Explorer 6. There is no space like that in Mozilla Firefox. What can I do about it? Thank you. Code: <head> <title>Title</title> <style type="text/css"> .frm_container { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #000; background-color: #fff; } </style> </head><body><div class="frm_container"> <form name="register" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" > <table><tr> <td align="right">Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="user" /></td> </tr></table> </form></div></body></html> http://www.webpagedesignrus.co.uk/DECS Look at the text near the picture, I need to space it out a bit but only on the left side... I made the td have the id of "left": Code: #left { margin-left: 30px; } Code: #left { margin-left: 30; } I can't get it to work... My site is displaying properly and in good way to the bullet that i've used in menu in FF. But in IE 7 bullet and text is too close which make menu un attractive. How can i fix this? any suggestion. if you want you can see nepalmedia . com . np thanks. Hi guys.. I have a script that spits out a series of divs.. The first 'wrapper' Div is position:relative, and I have placed other divs inside it, positioning them using position: absolute; left: 20px, etc... It renders perfectly on all my tested browsers, and yet when I make the script repeat, so that each div-set is loaded from the database, they just stack on top of each other on the page, rather than underneath each other.. All I am really doing is stacking divs, I thought that whatever went on in the 'child' divs didnt affect the parents ?? Like so: Code: <div style="position: relative;"> <div style="position: absolute; left: 20px; top: 40px;"> some content </div> <div style="position: absolute; left: 150px; top: 40px;"> other content </div> </div> Ive tried setting things like display: block;, clear: both, etc, but the sets of divs just 'pile' on top of each other... Any ideas :/ Many thanks, Mike. Hello, this is my first attempt at a website and first attempt at using CSS as well. With much reading and the help of an online CSS layout creator I've been able to get pretty far, but have been having many roadblocks recently. For instance, the second heading in my layout is not displaying correctly in IE, but looks fine in FireFox. Please take a look at http://www.onlinecasinoboss.com/new_page_1.htm The second heading should lay directly underneath heading number 1, with a 2px margin in between header 2 and the main page layout. Also the text in the right, left and center columns starts as if it had a 12px or greater top margin. This problem exists in BOTH IE and FF. Please help, and thanks for anyone that takes the time to help a newbie web designer out. Due to letter-spacing double break won't work in IE. And triple break works as it is double break. How to solve this problem? Hi, I have a margin or spacing between the header image and the navigation bar. I'm unsure of how to remove it. I want the navigation to be directly underneath the header. This is the HTML Code: <div id="navbar"> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="horses.html">Horses</a> <ul> <li><a href="stallions.html">Stallions</a></li> <li><a href="mares.html">Mares</a></li> <li><a href="geldings.html">Geldings</a></li> <li><a href="foals.html">Foals</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="showteam.html">Show Team</a></li> <li><a href="showresults.html">Show Results</a></li> <li><a href="youths.html">Youths</a></li> <li><a href="sales.html">Sales</a></li> <li><a href="contactus.html">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> </div> This is the CSS Code: #header { background:#ddd; border-left:1px solid #FFF; border-right:1px solid #FFF; border-top:1px solid #FFF; } #navbar { font-family: Edwardian Script ITC, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size:36px; width:100%; margin-top:0px; padding:0px; height:63px; background-color:#FFF; } #navbar li { list-style: none; float: left; } #navbar li a { display: block; padding: 7px 8px; background-color: white; color: black; text-decoration: none; } #navbar li ul { display: none; width: 5em; /* Width to help Opera out */ background-color: white; } #navbar li:hover ul { display: block; position: absolute; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #navbar li:hover li { float: none; } #navbar li:hover li a { background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; color: #000; } #navbar li li a:hover { background-color:#FFC; } Any help would be appreciated! It's really frustrating me. I've tried looking around other websites for help too. Kim I am working on a site right now. I have two adjacent divs, one on top of the other. Both are styled with margins and padding set to "0." I want the second div to be directly below the first with no spacing. If I include a single-pixel border on the second div, the elements touch with the border being the only thing between the first and second div. Without the border, there is a space of what I believe to be 20 pixels. I don't want to actually use the border so I'm not sure what to do. I don't understand why the page is behaving this way. Feel free to check it out at kellyshipe.com. I would have linked but forum rules evidently prevent it. Hello. I am new at css and web design so if these are easy problems please excuse. First of all, the website url http://www.onlinecasinoboss.com In Firefox, the unordered lists <ul> in the left column do not display correctly. The left margin is way too big. I'm not sure why, please look at the page in IE to see what I want it to look like. And in Internet Explorer, the spacing between my top image, header bar, and main page is screwy. There should be no space between the header image and header bar (the flags are in this area). Also there should only be 2px spacing between the header and the main page, however it appears there is atleast 24px there. Again please refer to the page in FF to see what I want it to look like. I like css, and have decided to pursue my first design in css based off of the many professional designers reconmendations and reviews. But I must say it is a major headache to deal with cross-browser/platform display problems. And what professional designer wants to rely on 'css-hacks' when producing a product for a major vender. Just beginner bitching. Thanks for the help! Hi Guys I am having trouble trying to work out a bug that is creating a space between two div containers. To see what i mean click here for web page the css can be viewed here in firefox the two containers appear correctly but in internet explorer there is a 10px space between them. Could it have something to do with the background images? The div containing the login form also drops down in ie and i am convinced this is related to the main problem i am facing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is. Any help would be much appreciated! I have a drop down menu that works great in Chrome but in IE 9 I am getting spaces between my images for my navigation bar. My HTML is as follows... HTML Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/home_btn.jpg" width="77" height="29" border="0" /></a> <ul> <li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">About Asthma</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Treatment</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Taking Control</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Lifestyle</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="color:#000;">Resources & Support</a></li> </ul></li> <li><img src="../../images/global/header/spacer01.jpg" width="17" height="29" border="0" /></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/kids_btn.jpg" width="66" height="29" border="0" /></a></li> <li><img src="../../images/global/header/spacer01.jpg" width="17" height="29" border="0" /></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="../../images/global/header/allergy_btn.jpg" width="67" height="29" border="0" /></a></li> <li><img src="../../images/global/header/spacer01.jpg" width="17" height="29" border="0" /></li> </ul></li></ul> I have tried everything in my CSS to eliminate the spacing between the image files with no luck. Does anyone see what I am doing wrong here? This is starting to bug me this problem, but on my site www.readinginfo.co.uk the background image (inner shadow and small gradient) at the top is playing up. It doesn't seem to want to align all the way over to the left, however as is always the way, it is working in firefox, ie7, 8 and safari. I've tried some of the ie6 fixes mentioned but I have the sneakiest of feelings that it is to do with the form element (the search box), positioning absolutely just bumps it over to the side. Thanks in advance for any reply!! Hello All, I wanted to ask a question. I'm having trouble with spacing between two divs. Here's the site I'm working on: johnraymondonline.com/mjbfoundation/ The problem is that I'm trying to put a 20pixel margin between the bottom footer div (that contains "test test") and the div just above it. I'm not having much luck at all. I've done a clear and also have checked the divs several times to see if I've missed any. I've even put a div between with some height and that doesn't work. I'm not sure if one of the div's above it has a fixed height. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
