When I debug/test my website, the CSS layout all works and looks good in IE7. However I then upload the website to our hosting website's webserver which is an Apache/1.3.33 Server, and view it with IE7, it doesn't look the same. From what I can tell (as I am still learning CSS and never worked with an Apache Webserver) is that the right: 0px isn't working as my layout isn't spanning the entire page. There are a couple of other issues to, but this is the main one initially. I have validated my CSS and it checked through ok. Is the Apache Server just serving up my CSS differently than what I am expecting and seeing when I test locally? I thought the different browsers (IE, Netscape, Firefox) were what usually caused these type of problems; not what type of server it was. Thank you for any help! I am a developer. Recently developed a site on my server, then moved it to client server. On the client server, some of the CSS is different. Nothing major, small stuff like spacing and a drop down menu that are off. Nothing changed. I moved everyfile, for sure. This is not the first time this has happened to me. Am I missing something? Hi Can you please say me how I can make permanent spraylogos on my server. Hi All, I'm new here so here's my problem: Ive created a style sheet with the thumbs-style that resizes pictures. .thumbs { border: 2px solid #524b2f; position: static; height: 80px; width: auto; } body { background-color: #f5f0ec; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; scrollbar-face-color : #f5f0ec; scrollbar-highlight-color : #aca899; scrollbar-3dlight-color : #f5f0ec; scrollbar-shadow-color : #aca899; scrollbar-darkshadow-color :#f5f0ec; scrollbar-track-color : #f5f0ec; scrollbar-arrow-color : #524b2f; } .text1 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; color: #524b2f; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-transform: none; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; } .text2 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #524b2f; } .titel { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: bold; color: #524b2f; text-decoration: underline; } Everything works fine on my computer. But load the page on the server the resizing doesn't work anymore. Here's the link http://www.sleuyter.be/04/lay04-1.htm When i right click on the thumbs in the I-frame and select properties than they resize to the specified size in the CSS-sheet. On my pc everything is ok , what can it be with the server? Who can help me? Thx, ROY I'm a novice web developer and I created a website for a non-profit group using a free CSS Template. It worked great until a few months ago, then the left and right borders suddenly were out of align. It works fine on another web hosting company's web server, but not the one it needs to work on. I recreated the whole website using a different CSS template and it is doing the same thing! Any ideas? Thanks so much! Hi, I have a file named button.html with this code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <style> input:focus { border: 1px solid navy; } </style> </head> <body> <input type = "text" /> </html> When I store it in my desktop, and open it from there, the focus works as expected. But when I store the file in Wamp and open it there either by typing C:\Wamp\www\button.html or http://localost/button.html in the URL bar, nothing happens. Can anybody explain this and offer a remedy? Hi I am using suckerfish drop down menu without problem on my local server, however, on the remote server them menu won't work when jscript is turned off (when viewed on IE). Do you have any idea why this might be? has anyone had this problem before? (here is the url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)) thanks a lot Hello, I have an odd problem. I do some websites as a hobbie so I'm no expert. I have created several sites using css with a linked stylesheet and never had a problem using: link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" Today I opened Homesite (old version 4.5) for the first time in a few months and began a new project. My problem is, I can't seem to get the stylesheet to work when linked. If I use it inline or in the head tag it works, just not linked. I'm using the same code I have always used. I even copied from other working pages to be sure I'm not missing something. I have also opened several other existing projects stored locally and they work fine. Just nothing I code now will work. I must be overlooking something simple. Thanks for any ideas! im trying to redo my layout in the "tabless" fasion since its the best thing to be doing now i beleive. this is how far i've gotten... http://72.232.208.44/new/newindex.html the navigational links are just barely off. this is becasue they are a unorded list. i adjsuted their list-style-type to be none but it stil shows up with a small smal blank spot where the bullet would go.

Ok, I have a design and it works how I want it to in firefox. http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~bf04thbu/ However, In IE there are two problems. 1. The graphical border doesnt go all the way around the content area. View it in firefox to see how it's supposed to look. 2. There is a small gap between the first #maintable and #maintable2. Does anyone know how to fix these? I've been trying for a while without success. It appears that the #maintable2 div is on top of the two side images in #maintable2. Thanks for any help. Code: .mainnav a:link, .mainnav a:visited { font-family: tahoma; color: #9b9999; font-size: 15px; line-height: 37px; font-weight: bold; margin: 2px 0 0 0px; text-decoration: none; } .mainnav a:hover, .mainnav a:visited:hover { font-family: tahoma; color: brown; font-size: 15px; line-height: 37px; font-weight: bold; margin: 2px 0 0 0px; text-decoration: none; } i wrote them for the mainnav class tags but the links arent effected? i'm using IE7 and targeting the IE7 users with those codes... What's wrong? I checked there is no duplicated implementation... Hi all for some reason my css just won't work: http://www.milztech.net/area51/ Css: Code: body { font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 52px; background-color: #CCCCCC; } Any ideas?? Code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Title</title> <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> a:link { color: #808080; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; text-decoration:underline; } a:hover { color: #A0A0A0; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; text-decoration:none; } a:active { color: #000000; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; text-decoration:underline; } a:visited { color: #808080; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; text-decoration:underline; } version { color: #939393; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration:none; font-size:11px; } pagetitle { color: #969696; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration:none; font-size:16px; text-transform:capitalize font-weight:700 } </STYLE> </head> Any help is welcome, I am not well versed in CSS. Well, not this CSS. None of the properties are workign in IE. it is frustrating. Hey, it's me again, I was wondering if there is a way to make any header tag (in my case, it's H3) so that the text appears as normal? Essentially, make it so that nothing changes with the text. eg- 'Hello <H3>everybody</H3>' would appear just the same as 'Hello everybody.' I've tried multiple things using CSS, but can't seem to make it work. style.css body { font-size: 80%; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; } ul#tabs { list-style: none; margin: 30px 0 0 0; padding: 0 0 0.3em 0; } ul#tabs li { display: inline; } ul#tabs li a { color: #42454a; background-color: #dedbde; border: 1px solid #c9c3ba; border-bottom: none; padding: 0.3em; text-decoration: none; } ul#tabs li a:hover { background-color: #f1f0ee; } ul#tabs li a.selected { color: #000; background-color: #f1f0ee; font-weight: bold; padding: 0.7em 0.3em 0.38em 0.3em; } div.tabContent { border: 1px solid #c9c3ba; padding: 0.5em; background-color: #f1f0ee; } div.tabContent.hide { display: none; } ---------------------------------------------- <html> <head><title>tab2</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head> <body> <ul id="tabs"> <li><a href="#about">About JavaScript tabs</a></li> <li><a href="#advantages">Advantages of tabs</a></li> <li><a href="#usage">Using tabs</a></li> </ul> </body> </htlm> i haven't created any div tag but it should at list work on the ul tag. whats wrong???? Why does this css style work only in firefox and not IE : Code: .showhide {font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12px;color: #EA6D67;cursor: pointer; onMouseOver:text-decoration: underline;} Everything in the style works apart from the last section: {onMouseOver:text-decoration: underline;} Any ideas? Cheers Hey guys, So I am new to doing PSD>>>XHTML (or html) & CSS. Basically..I am knew to coding I guess you could say as well. I have been watching this tutorial: net[dot]tutsplus[dot]com/videos/scree...-psd-to-xhtml/ And in it, he tells me about CSS and how to make the images appear. Basically, the images that I want to appear in my css, are not appearing. I have made sure all of the div id's are correct, and they are. My CSS can be found he tinypaste[dot]com/770074 ALL of the images, do not appear. Any help?? (PS- I know some of my things in my CSS are probably not the best practice, but I am not really looking for your criticism, but rather the solution to my problem) Thanks! ~ Joe Some of the styles or not working in my main.css file. Example: style for td is working but not for ul or li. Syntex is correct, cause I pulled the styles from another one of my sites. Is there something that can cause a partial reading of my main.css file? i have been trying my hand at css recently and done this page with some css in it but some how it does not seem to be working.my main problem is the fact the two divs one holding the navigation table and the other holding the texttable are not able to use the css properties in terms of font size and font alignment.i looks like that i have made some serious or stupid error here.i would appreciate any help with this.thanks.the code of the page is given below. <html> <head> <title> WORKING CSS WITH DIVS.................. </title> </head> <style type="text/css"> div.banner { POSITION:ABSOLUTE; TOP:0; LEFT:0;RIGHT:0; WIDTH:750; HEIGHT:100; OVERFLOW:AUTO; BORDER-LEFT: 5PX SOLID #454545; BORDER-TOP: 5PX SOLID #454545; BORDER-BOTTOM:5PX SOLID #454545; BORDER-RIGHT: 5PX SOLID #454545; FONT-FAMILY:ARIAL; FONT-SIZE:48PX; TEXT-ALIGN:LEFT;COLOR:WHITE; BACKGROUND-COLOR:BLACK; } div.navigationtable { FONT-FAMILY:TAHOMA; FONT-SIZE:10PX;TEXT-ALIGN:LEFT; } div.navigationtable { POSITION:ABSOLUTE; TOP:150; LEFT:10; WIDTH:150; HEIGHT:200; } div.texttable { FONT-FAMILY:BOOK ANTIQUA; FONT-SIZE:10PX; TEXT-ALIGN:JUSTIFY; } div.texttable { POSITION:ABSOLUTE; TOP:150; LEFT:190; WIDTH:560; } </style> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <div class="banner"> Hello.com </div> <div class="navigationtable"> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=150> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.rediff.com">Rediff</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">BBC</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.ebay.com">EBay</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.w3schools.com">W3Schools</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.cricket.org">Cricket</a></td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class="texttable"> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=560> <tr> <td> Viswanathan Anand kept himself in the race for the title by keeping the gap between him and leader Veselin Topalov to just half a point with one more round to go in the Category 20 M-Tel Masters chess tournament at Hotel Grand Sofia. He ensured that the in-form local hero Topalov did not run away with honours with a round to spare. In the last game to finish in the ninth round, Anand squeezed out a fine win in the endgame against a tired looking Michael Adams, who at various stages had even seemed slightly better with white, but it was Anand who seized the chances he got. Anand's win carried him to five points from nine rounds, and a clear second position and Topalov is half a point ahead at 5.5 points. In the final round, Anand will have white pieces against Judit Polgar, who drew her ninth round game against an off- colour Vladimir Kramnik. If Topalov and Anand end up with same points, they will have to have a play-off in rapid, where Anand will have a definite advantage. But for that situation to happen Anand must win against Polgar and hope Topalov does no better than a draw.
