CSS - Div Float Problem In Firefox
Similar TutorialsThe site is he http://andamu.org/main/yarn/ or "andamu.org /main /yarn" The appearance of the date, byline, comments/trackbacks and tags on the left, aligned beneath one another in IE 8 is the desired appearance. In Firefox, the date appears in the correct spot, but the rest appears to its right instead of below it. (I am modifying the Pico theme in MT5.) I'll try to get the relevant bits here, but please ask if I can provide more detail. The html part: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <h2 class="date-header">September 6, 2010</h2> <div class="asset-footer"> <p class="asset-footer-info"> <span class="byline"> <span class="vcard author">Sivani</span> at <abbr class="published" title="2010-09-06T18:47:04-08:00"> 6:47 PM</abbr> </span> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#comments"> No Comments</a> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#trackbacks"> No TrackBacks</a> </p> </div> <!-- class="asset-footer" -->
The css part: Code: .date-header {
float: left;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 4px 0;
margin-left: 20px;
border-right: 1px solid #eee;
width: 128px;
color: #999;
}
.asset-footer {
float: left;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 4px 0;
margin-left: 20px;
border-right: 1px solid #eee;
width: 128px;
color: #999;
clear: all;
}
Note: I have tried using clear: all; in the .date-header to no effect. Hi! Please help me again! I cannot figure this out. I have tried striping out everything out to see if I could figure out what was causing it -- I can't. This one part is not working - everything else is fine. When I take this out I have no problems. Basically, i'm trying to have an image with text next to it (without it wrapping around the image). In IE it works. In Firefox the text drops below the image. Here is the code stripped out. Unfortunately, I cannot access and FTP to upload this - but I don't think that should matter. Please, What am I doing wrong?

I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. Please look at this page - http://www.eagletransmission.net/testimonials.asp In IE7 I have the main navigation alignment as I want it to be. BUt in Firefox the links do not align correctly. For example please look at the link for Affiliates. In Firefox it is pushed to the right instead of centered where it should be. Thanks. Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I seem to have an issue with the float parameter in Firefox. If you look at the following URL in IE, it should display fine, but in firefox the container doesn't expand to hold the div's within, as they're floated. I've seen other people use floats just fine in firefox, but it doesnt' seem to work for me.. http://www.arestaenterprise.com/enf/ Any help is appreciated Thanks! I am having an issue with a div that I am trying to float and set the width of. The page works fine in Firefox, but in IE it doesn't display correctly, Here is the pertinent code, <div id="textbar" class="sidebar" style="width:175px;"> <div id="handle"> <a href="#"><img src="http://swvtc06/swvtc/images/collapse.jpg" border="0" alt="Click to Collapse the Navigation Bar" onclick="sidebar()" /></a> </div> <div id="sbText" style="display:block;"> <!--#include virtual="/swvtc/include/nav_test.htm" --> <!--#include virtual="/swvtc/include/smweather.asp" --> </div> </div> Here is the CSS for the #handle div, #handle { float:right; width:9px; } In Firefox, the handle div is correctly inline with the background graphic. In IE, the handle div is about 9 pixels to the left of where it should be. We are in the ancient times, we still are mandated to be using IE 6, so that is where I am having the problems. Where am I going wrong? Thanks, Drew After hours of Google searching and working to find a solution, this is my last gasp. I'll qualify it by saying I'm a casual hobbiest, not a pro at all. In plain text, my problem is that I have a string of boxes I want to appear side-by-side...float: left. In firefox, on a hard refresh, these elements don't appear side-by-side, but on top of each other. It works just fine in IE. Example... Should be: 1 2 Is: 1 2 Below is my code. To see the problem in action, http://www.mcconaha.com Also, the code isn't great, and I know that. I'm building everything now, but can't get past this problem. Code: body{

I've only just started using CSS rather than tables. The title bit is ok. The problem is the main <div>. In Firefox l can't seem to get the two divs (grouptitle1 & grouptitle2) to float side by side. The only way l can do it is by setting grouptitle2 to a certain width. But l want grouptitle2 to fill the remaining width of the screen whatever size the browser is and not be a set width. Is there any way so that l can make the two divs appear side by side without adding a width to the grouptitle2?? here's a working version: Clicky This is my code essentially: <div id="bottom"> <div style="float:left">store hours</div> <img src="map"> <div style="float:right">contact info</div> </div> It looks fine in Safari but it messed up in Firefox. I fixed it a bit by adding overflow:auto to the parent item (bottom div), so it actually has the red background and doesn't collapse. I haven't yet uploaded that fix yet as the problem still isn't solved. Now the div is expanding too much because the 3 items aren't being displayed inline. In firefox the image is pushing the first div beneath it. Any solutions please? Hi, I have been beating my head against the wall here. My video position in firefox shows up over top of my other nested divs/classes. www.binaryshopper.com The site renders perfect in IE. When you spend more time on CSS than programming, something is wrong! I love CSS but it still doesn't do what it was intended to do. After years of CSS, you still have better control over layout using crappy tables!! Can someone please help me here before I start shooting Firefox developers? Hi, I have been a CSS/XHTML developer for about 6 months now and I just came accross a problem that I have had difficulty solving... I have spent about a week on this problem, and still no luck... I kind of restarted too with no luck... I am thinking this may be a bug... But it works fine in IE... In firefox, the content division background does not continue, instead a footer background is moved up... This is so weird, I dont know how this can be possible... This has been extremely frustrating... If anyone can help, that would be great! Thanks a lot! subject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=170622 You can see what it's supposed to look like along with the windows 98 version screwed up and the windows 2000 version screwed up. I can't figure out what's causing my navigation div and content divs to not float over. I have a master container or everything and a main div that holds my navigation and content div's to 760px PHP Code: #master{ width:760px; margin:auto; } #main{ float:left; width:100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } Can anyone give me any ideas what's causing the mess up? By the way the design works in all other browsers I test with. Hey, Im using floats to position a few forms/form-elements horizontally. But the last form (the signout button), gets shifted on the next line. Can someone explain me why this happens? This is the code i use: php Code: Original - php Code echo '<div style="float: left;... blabla">'; echo '<form action="'.getRoot().'search_contact.php" name="search" id="search" method="post">'; echo '<div style="float: left; width: 35%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;">'; echo '<input type="text" style="width: 50%" name="contact_name" value="'.$search_string.'" id="contact_name"> '; echo '<input type="submit" name="search_now" value="Search" id="search_now">'; echo '</div>'; echo '</form>'; echo '<form name="new_contact" id="new_contact" method="post" action="'.getRoot().'new_contact.php">'; echo '<div style="float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; text-align: right;">'; echo '<input type="submit" name="add_contact_now" value="New Contact" id="add_contact_now"> '; echo '</div>'; echo '</form>'; echo '<form name="contact_list" id="contact_list" method="post" action="'.getRoot().'contact_list.php">'; echo '<div style="float: left; width: 22%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%;">'; echo ' <input type="submit" name="view_contact_list" value="Contact List" id="view_contact_list">'; echo '</div>'; echo '</div>'; echo '</form>'; echo '<form name="logout" id="logout" method="post" action="'.getRoot().'logout.php">'; echo '<div style="float: left; width: 21%; margin: 0%; padding: 0%; text-align: right;">'; echo '<input type="submit" name="logout_now" id="logout_now" value="Sign out"> '; echo '</div>'; echo '</form>'; echo '</div>'; echo '<div style="float: left;... blabla">'; I usually never have problems with CSS layouts but whatever reason I'm struggling with this one... I have a container div and inside it I have 4 divs (2 on the left stacked on each other and two on the right stacked on each other). Code: #container {
height: 604px;
width: 920px;
}
#container_left {
height: 604px;
width: 597px;
float: left;
}
#container_right {
height: 604px;
width: 323px;
float: right;
}
#left_top {
background-image:url(images/001.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
height: 501px;
width: 597px;
}
#left_bot {
width: 597px;
height: 103px;
}
#right_top {
width: 323px;
height: 308px;
background-image:url(images/002.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
#right_bot {
background-image:url(images/003.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width: 323px;
height: 296px;
}
all the divs are empty at the moment (just a bg image) except for #left_bot....HTML below... Code: <div id="container">
<div id="conrainter_left">
<div id="left_top"></div>
<div id="left_bot"><a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Get Started','','images/start_rollover.jpg',1)"><img src="images/start.jpg" alt="Click here to Get Started" name="Get Started" width="597" height="103" border="0" id="Get Started" /></a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="conrainter_right">
<div id="right_top"></div>
<div id="right_bot"></div>
</div>
</div> <!--end container-->
The results I'm getting...The container left div looks good. The container right div is not to the right of the page, but instead to the left of the page below the left div. Instead of floating it right its pushing down to the next line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Hi, I wonder if there's anyone out there who can help with an issue I'm having. I think it's something relatively simple, but I've been staring it in the face for too long. A fresh pair of eyes will help. This page displays fine in Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome and IE8. The #main2 div loses it's position in IE6 and 7. Any help would be massively appreciated. Anyway I can refer you to the page as a new user? :/ maybe - www dot twistystraws dot com / test dot html Thanks. I would be VERY appreciative if someone could tell me why the big quote mark in the bottom left text box of this page does not look correct in IE7...it looks great in Firefox...the big quote mark should be raised above the text as it is in FF.... I'm floating 2 <p> elements there, and put borders around the <p> elements to see what was happening...I even put the <p> elements inside a container <div>, but that didn;t help....I reluctantly used a negative margin in FF, but the same doesn;t work in IE....Am I missing something simple here? Thanks for any help... Hello, I'm new to CSS and I'm in the process of building my first table-less page. It is quite exciting, but I'm having one major problem. For some reason, I cannot get my main content div to float next to my side bar navigation. In the normal write up, it works in IE but not Firefox or Opera. I took just the essential parts of the code to create a test page for this forum, and now it doesn't even work in IE!!! Here is the code: Code:
<html>
<head>
<style TYPE="text/css">
#topNav {
margin: 10px 0px;
border: 1px solid #000;
width: 100%;
}
#sideNav {
margin-right: 10px;
border: 1px solid #000;
width: 150px;
}
#main {
margin: 0;
border: 1px solid #000;
float: left;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="topNav">
Top Nav
</div>
<div id="sideNav">
Side Nav
</div>
<div id="main">
MAIN CONTENT AREA
</div>
</body>
</html>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! |
