CSS - Letter-spacing And Double Break Problem

I have several rows of images with centered text under them. I wanted to do this without tables, simply because the way the rest of the page is laid out it'd be easier for me to position the images correctly and line everything up right.

However, in IE when I test this the last column produces a double word of the last word in the centered text. It's kind of hard to explain, so I'm including my code. I did have this happen before and couldn't figure it out so I just used tables, but I'm so dead-set on getting away from tables that I figured I'd try again.

Here's the code:

Code:

	  <!-- Start row one -->
	  <div class="sscontent">
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column one -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column two -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>	  
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column one -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column four -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>	  
	  
	  </div>
	  
	  <!-- start row two - continue row structure throughout all scenes -->

	  <div class="sscontent">
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column one -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column two -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>	  
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column one -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>
	  
	  <!-- scenic studio column four -->
	  <div class="sscol">
	  <img src="images/ss_temp.jpg" width="152" height="103" /><br />
	  Scenic name
	  </div>	  
	  
	  </div>

and the style sheet declarations:

Code:

.sscontent {
float: left;
width: 688px;
margin: 30px auto 0 36px;
padding: 0 0;
text-align: left;
display: inline;
}

.sscol {
float: left;
width: 152px;
margin: 0 20px 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: top;

}

Now, I know that someone may bring up that the float is a block element and I can't display it inline, but it's the only hack i knew to get it to display in a straight line and still line up with the rest of the page.

I'm more than open to suggestions here!

Aloha,

I am trying to change the way a page on my site is printed. Currently, I have a Google ad that is far enough down the page that it causes too much content to be pushed to page 2. I know I should post a link to the page, but I am still developing it and I only have it on my laptop rght now. Here are two screen clips from my print dialog that should illustrate the problem clearly:

print1.jpg
print2.jpg

How do I allow the printer to go ahead and split the image in two putting the top part of the image at the bottom of page 1 and the bottom of the image part on page 2?

TIA,
Thad

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.

Well, 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?

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!

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!  Any more and start a new column, lke this one -->
	<div class="traynav">
		<ul>
			<li><a href="/info/seminars.cfm">Partner Seminars</a></li>
			<li><a href="/info/green.cfm">Green Practices</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.ctia.org/conventions_events/convinfo/info.cfm">Receive Information</a></li>
			<li><a href="/info/international.cfm">International Guests</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>		
	<div class="trayimage whitetext smalltext"><img src="images/show.jpg"><br />Stars of the Show</div>					
</div>

Code:

.tray{
position:absolute;
z-index:500;
top:30px; 
left:0px;
visibility:hidden;
background-image:url(../images/blackback.png);
width:920px;

	border: 1px dotted #c2dae2;
}

I'm stumbling through learning CSS with the help of some great people (here and elsewhere), and I've almost got a complete, working template, but I'm having a problem with (surprise) IE.

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.

     <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 -->

context:html body
Property word-break doesn't exist : break-all



it doesnt validates ,, why?? It changes both attribute in ie and firefox,, I use it because when people choose bigger text sizes my divs mix up because of long words so I use word-break. What do you prefer me?? Live without validation

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:

Any tips would be great. Please view in FF, as IE seems to mess it up... which is another problem for another day. Thanks.

(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 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>

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>

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" >

	<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">

		<div id="footer">

	</div>
</div>


</body>
</html>

Am I overlooking something simple?

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.

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...
