CSS - Top-padding Never Appears Less Padding Is At 87px ?
Hey everyone,
I am making a design to kill some time, and I have come across a problem. I have a menu at the top which has no top padding unless I give it padding of 87px. I find this very odd, and it happens in every browser( Firefox 2.0.0.3, Opera 9, IE6-7 ); is it a bug in CSS itself or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code, maybe I am missing something. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #082567; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; } #top-menu { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 130px; } #top-menu h1 { float: left; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -3px; font-size: 31px; padding: 5px; } #menu { float: right; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 50px; } #menu a:hover { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=0C39A1&EndColor=082567&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top-menu"> <h1>ryon.hunter</h1> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" I validated it and it validates fine, any suggestions? Similar TutorialsHello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code: <style> #menubox { float:left; margin-left:15px; margin-bottom:7px; } .main_cell { padding:15px; } </style> <body> <table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> <tr> <td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div> Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td> </tr> </table> </body> Thanks, Rey Hey everyone, I am working on a new template: http://4xp.net/temp.html The colors are there just so I can see the divs, so don't worry. If you look at the page in IE, it looks fine, with some padding between the green and orange div, and to the right of the orange div. When you look at it in Firefox, there is a bunch of white padding to the top and bottom of both the orange and green divs, and I can't seem to get it to go away. The weird thing is, if I add a 1px border to the orange div, the green div aligns to the top, and the orange background expands to fill in the white area above and below the orange div. Does anyone know how to remove this padding? Thanks! Right now, there is nothing about padding located in css file. And I was told I should add a bit because my page is a headache to read. I was told: "Basically you want to add more white space between the vertical line and the text" How would I go about doing this? The site Im talking about is: www.ohiocichlids.com Hi there, I have 2 main divs.. one which holds a small ammount of content on the right hand side.. like a 'related links' box which is located at the top right of the page. The other div holds the content. It wraps around the top right div, but there is no padding to the right of the content area, so the text goes right the way up to the right hand div. How can I add some padding to the right of this area? I have added padding, but it adds it to the text where it wraps below the top right div. This is the code I am using: PHP Code: #related_links{ width: 165px; height: 237px; background-image: url('images/related_bg.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; float:right; padding-right: 10px; } #related_inside{ padding: 10px; } #content{ padding-right: 10px; } #content_inside{ padding: 10px; } PHP Code: <div id="related_links"><div id="related_inside">right hand text</div></div> <div id="content"> <div id="content_inside" >is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

I am noticing that padding changes the width/height of an object. For example, if I have a div element with a width of 100% and padding at 10px, it will actually cause the horizontal scrollbar on the browser to appear because it takes the 100% width into account, plus 20px for the padding on the left and right side. I thought padding was suppose to push elements inward. ??? Any help will be greatly appriciated. I don't know exactly what to call what's going on, but i'm asuming that there is a padding issue with my menu. I have a ul that contains my menu list. The CSS and xhtml are as follows: Code: /* Menu */ li { border: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 0px none; display: inline; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 1px; padding: 0px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; } ul#menu { background-image: url(img/menu.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; list-style-position: inside; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; background-position: left bottom; vertical-align: text-bottom; } /* End Menu */ <ul id="menu"><li>Menu 1</li><li>Items 2</li> <li>Will 3</li><li>Go 4</li><li>Here 5</li></ul> (the menu is on one line, thanks to IE's whitespace issue, i broke it here for easier readablity.) the problem is: i have it nestled on top of a div, and for some reason the ul has a 1px bit of padding on the bottom. I have searched the forum and may have missed some one posting a resolution for this, but i tried every one ov the voice-family/carrage return fixes i've seen, but none work. to see what i'm talking about if my words are il formed (as they often are) click here. to view the CSS click here. how do you remove the "padding" of the ul on the left hand side? Please look at http://www.mts-diesel.com / index.php I have a 25px div (#topmargin) that I want flush against top of screen. I assigned padding & margin to both div & body elements but for some reason the I can see about 3px of the body bg above the div #topmargin. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tom Hey everyone, I am working on an old design I started a while back, and for some reason, IE and Opera do not render the top padding right. I figured that it is a bug, but I am not sure. Here is my code: css Code: Original - css Code body { background-image: url( http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/6097/blissxk5.png ); color: #000000; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin: 0; } a img { border: 0; } a,a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active { color: #0099FF; text-decoration: underline; } a:hover { color: #FF9900; text-decoration: underline; } #container { width: 85%; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; } #header { padding-left: 150px; } #menu { width: 100%; text-align: center; } #menu ul { list-style-type: none; display: block; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { padding-left: 45px; padding-right: 45px; padding-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px; } #menu a:hover { opacity: .8 !important; background-color: #999999; color: #FFFFFF; } #main { opacity: .6 !important; filter: alpha(opacity=50); background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 1%; text-align: justify; } #main h1 { color: #0075FF; border-bottom: 2px solid #0099FF; display: block; width: 60%; } #footer { text-align: center; } #footer a { color: #000000; } body { And also IE6+ do not seem to render the filter property. Anyone know whats going on with this? EDIT: Fixed [s]Anyone know why that ie6 keeps doubling the padding to the left of the that avatar image on the top [/s]http://new.gifdump.com/ Okay, So here is the situation and it has had me stumped for 2 days. I have a site that was displaying perfectly on my local server - I have xampp installed to test site locally. I have a site that is displaying perfectly in Opera, Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox....and locally on IE8. Now here is the kicker. Once I upload it to my server online the layout is thrown out of whack in IE. Why would there be a difference between a local view and an online view in IE? Hello, I just took a look at my site in IE7. I know the coding is far from pure, but it's still simple, and I didn't expect any problems. It looks fine in Firefox and Safari. Is style="padding-right:15px" not allowed in an img tag? Why does the mouseover effect in the menu not work? Code: #sidebar { margin: 0 0 0 0; width: 160px; } #sidebar .menu { list-style: none; margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0; width: 150px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8e8e8; } #sidebar .menu li { border-top: 1px solid #e8e8e8; color: #999; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; padding: 2 0 2 10; width: 150px; } #sidebar .menu li:hover { background-color: #f8f8f8; } #sidebar .menu li a { color: #2E86D0; display: block; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; width: 140px; } #sidebar .menu li.active:hover { background-color: #e8e8e8; } THANKS for the help! Hi guys, Im building a DNN site for a client, and have used a menu system theyve specified. Ive got it looking how I want, however in IE I have a couple pixels of padding below the UL container.. in FF its perfect (the butt up against each other)... Any hints? Im stumped. Cant post URL's, so if you're bored and feel like making someones day, feel free to PM me Cheers!!!! looks perfect in Moz and IE...but any time I set a padding it overhangs the actual width. So the below code creates a 1010px wide result...is there a workaround for Opera sucking? Code: .topa { width: 1000px; padding: 5px; background:#000000 } edit: nesting a div and putting the padding on it without a background seems to work...while I'm sure it is overhanging the same way, at least it doesnt LOOK that way. I'm having trouble adding padding to a text area without affecting the scrollbar. I would like the padding:10px to only be around text in the textarea without making the scrollbar have padding around it. Is this possible? Thanks Hi. I have a top menu bar which is positioned below an image. The size of the image is stopping the menu bar from being further up, but I cant make the image smaller. Is there a way to put negative padding on the image to make the menu bar sit further up (effectivly on the image). To sum it up, here is an image: http://img40.imageshack.us/i/helpo.jpg/ Here is a link to the website: http://hiq.identityprojects.co.uk Here is the code for the image: Code: h1#logo a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 250%; width: 283px; height: 92px; padding-bottom:-20px; background: url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat; text-indent: -99999px; } The red is my stab in the dark to get it to work, which didnt work. Id really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me. Hello, I am having problems sorting out my css. It all looks good but when i look at the css it has 21 browser errors in different browsers. Mainly it is padding errors for netscape 4.0. Is there a way round this please? Cheers just read a post on ALA regarding how to create a simple thumbnail gallery using CSS. while the styling of the CSS provided on ALA seems to render the same on both FF and IE, the original code renders slightly different. everything seems to work fine except for the padding around the caption, underneath the image. there is more space around then caption when viewed in IE. please look at this link where the html file and css are hosted - (view source) can you make out anything that could be adjusted to fix this tiny bug? really appreciate if you could help out a little here. been at this for the last couple of days, and now really dead with any ideas to fix this tiny issue :-/ thanx for your time, z |
