CSS - Dropdown Works With Id, But Not Class

I have pulled my last hair so I come to you with a red face.

these tags are in the head section
Code:

h3 {color: blue}
pink {color: blue}

In the body I have
Code:

<h3> what color is it? </h3><BR>
<pink> it should be blue </pink>

both lines print in blue on FF. IE6 shows h3 in blue but pink is plain, black text. Please embarass me with a simple answer.

Thanks in advance,
stujo

well i sort of know why, because they render things differently but i have looked in my code and cant figure out why it will be different for ff

NEWB here.

Working on a project that has a custom ul w/ background images and sub menus

the css currently in place works for all browsers except IE

when using the IE developer tool, I can see all the applied styles for the items.

For some reason IE is just randomly throwing in a padding-top from somewhere that's screwing up the alignment. There is NO source css file referenced or noted as to where it's coming from. As soon as it's removed, it display properly.

I have explicitly set the style in the UL and the li to have the correct padding, but IE just seems to ignore them and throws in a padding of it's own.

ANY IDEAS here? Anyone? Beuller?

The following CSS code works in Firefox, but not IE.

The site has a fixed top bar using CSS which works perfectly in firefox, but stuffs up in IE.

Does anyone know what I need to change it to to fix the problem?

Code:

I have the following CSS that I believe is valid, but it only works in IE. In fact in IE it works perfect, but in FireFox it does not display anything at all.

Code:

<div style="font-size:8px; text-align:left; background-color:red; width:100px;"><div style="font-size:8px; background-color:green; width:75px;"></div></div>

What I am trying to do is display a rating. In the above example, the rating is 75/100, so a green bar 75px long over a red bar 100px long.

Fixed.

I am new to style sheets, and I have been trying to get an entry level position with a web developer here close to me. They sent me a PSD and told me to layout using nothing but CSS and no tables. So I did so... and it looks fantastic in Firefox, but not at all good in IE. The only real problem is with the positioning.. the content color and size and everything seems to be fine.... all the positioning is done in the code on the website, where you can view source... I pasted the CSS code below, but doubtful it will help much. Can anyone offer me some help? The site is he http://www.eomnis.com/test

the style sheet is here http://www.eomnis.com/test/css.css and i pasted the style sheet code below. Thanks for any help everyone.

I've seen this type of nav bar on different websites and have tried to figure out how it's used, but I don't know what I'm looking for. An example is on the Twidroyd site (you can google it--as a new user I can't post links)

The nav bar image is three bars stacked one on top of the other, where there are bars for inactive, active, and hover. I can't figure out how this works. Not necessarily asking for a detailed explanation, just what the technique is called so I can research it myself. Any help appreciated!

I'm working on a site that is using CSS layout. I use a Mac at work and the site looks great on it. I've checked it on the Mac on Safari, IE, and Firefox. When I went home the other day, and I checked the site on my PC (on IE and Firefox), the site did not layout correctly. I think the main issue is the relationship between the left section (where the large image is) and the floated right content box. I was really surprised to see it not working on my PC, so now I'm at a loss. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions about about the cross-platform, cross-browser differences I need to account for. Please help! Thanks!

CSS

I am trying to make a menu on my website and it works well on internet explorer 7. I went onto firefox to check it and it is not working so great. The link is:-alrwritingservices.co.uk.

The css:-

Code:

.solidblockmenu{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
font: bold 13px Arial;
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid #625e00;
border-width: 1px 0;
background: black url(backygnav.gif) center center repeat-x;
list-style
}

.solidblockmenu li{
display: inline;
}

.solidblockmenu li a{
float: left;
color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;
padding: 9px 11px;
text-decoration: none;
border-right: 1px solid white;
}

.solidblockmenu li a:visited{
color: white;
}

.solidblockmenu li a:hover, .solidblockmenu li .current{
color: white;
background: transparent url(backgnavhover.gif) center center repeat-x; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; float: left;
}

The html:-

Code:

<ul class="solidblockmenu">
<li><a href="index.php" class="current">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.php">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="samples.php">Samples</a></li>
<li><a href="manual.php">Manual</a></li>
<li><a href="testimonials.php">Testimonials</a></li>
<li><a href="quote.php">Get A Quote</a></li>
<li><a href="faq.php">FAQ Section</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: left" />

How would i make it look better in firefox and would would be the hack for internet explorer. Is theer any help available on the internet about this?

Many thanks in advance, Stevo

I have the following CSS:
Code:

#leftcontent
{
    position: absolute;
    top: 135px;
    left: 20px;
    width: 150px;
    border: 0px;
}

#centercontent
{
    border: 1px solid #999999;
    top: 135px;
    margin-left: 170px;
    margin-right: 140px;
}
html>body #centercontent
{
    margin-left: 170px;
    margin-right: 140px;
}
#rightcontent
{
    position: absolute;
    top: 135px;
    right: 20px;
    width: 120px;
    border: 0px;
}

This works just fine in Firefox, but I see some problem in IE6. As I resize the width of IE window, the right border line of the center content disappears. Maybe this CSS has some problem; maybe html inside has some problem. I don't know exactly what is causing this, but I need to fix it. I don't want the right border line to disappear. I want it to be visible at all times. How can I fix this problem? How can I make the right border line visible at all times?

(This is where I use this CSS.)

is there anything special i need to do to get CSS to work with IE?

Here is what i have above the </head> tag
Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="layout.css">

the layout.css has:

Code:

catheader { 
color:#ffffff;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold; 
font-family: verdana;
}

then in the <body> i have
Code:

<catheader>My New Category</catheader>

In netscape it shows correctly, in IE it doesnt read it at all.

any ideas?

Here's the css code.

Code:

.toolbar a:hover, .toolbar a:focus, .toolbar a:active {
	background-color:#F5F9FA;
}
.toolbar {
	border:0;
	padding:0;
	margin:auto;
	border-collapse:collapse;
}
.toolbar a {
	display:block;
	text-align:center;
	vertical-align:middle;
	white-space:nowrap;
}

.toolbar a:hover, .toolbar a:focus, .toolbar a:active {
	text-decoration:none;
}

It works fine when you hover over a link, it lights up the back of the td which is what I want. However I would like the whole td to act as a link. So wherever you move the mouse over the td it lights up and would link to the page, instead of just over the text.

Any suggestions?

Hi all,

I got my css layout to work in Opera, which is already an achievement for a newbie like me. But I'm facing some problems with FF and IE.

First: in both the header image is gone
Second: in IE the menu images are shown too wide resulting in a messed up menu
Third: IE for some reason widens up the sidebar and content so the sidebar is shown below and also the footer is misplaced.

I'm still trying to debug it myself but I don't seem to be able to solve them.

Any help or ideas are appreciated. Kind regards,

Jef
