CSS - Ie7 Clear Property Irregularity
Hi,
In IE7 or IE6 clear works differently than in any other browser. I would show you my test page, but I can't post a url apparently. Anyways, is there a fix for this or an explanation? I have tried in vain to find any information about this on Google. I thought a following sibling float can't be higher than its previous sibling. Thanks! Similar TutorialsHey guys...I'm having a problem with the clear property in firefox adding a large space between a float element and the element that is being cleared. The code is below: HTML Code: Code: <body>
<div id="header">
<div id="topAd">
Top ad - Premium Placement
</div>
<div id="logobox">
<div id="sitestats">
Stat 1: stat<br />
Stat 2: stat<br />
stat 3: stat
</div>
<img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Logo Image"/>
<div id="topnav">
this is the top navigation
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
and the CSS Code: Code: body,form,ul,li {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 9pt;
font-family: helvitica,arial;
color: #333;
}
#header {
display: block;
border: 1px solid orange;
}
#topAd {
display: block;
background-color: #333;
color: #FFF;
text-align: center;
}
#logobox {
display: block;
vertical-align: bottom;
border: 1px solid green;
height: auto;
}
#sitestats {
float: right;
font-size: 8.5pt;
border: 1px solid yellow;
height: auto;
}
#topnav {
clear: both;
background-color: #333;
color: #FFF;
text-align: right;
padding-right: 0.2em;
}
Now this code works fine in IE, but in Firefox, the cleared element seems to get a very large space between the float and the cleared element. Any help would be appreciated. I have a site with a bunch of floats. It looks something like this: [HTML]<div id="nav" style="float: left"> </div> <div id="content"> <div style="float: left"> </div> <div style="float: right"> </div> <br style="clear: both" </div>[/HTML] Now that clear:both also clears #nav instead of the two divs in #content. Is there any way to fix this so it doesn't clear #nav? Can someone explain to my why my "spacer" div is not working (i'm looking in IE7 & Firefox)? Here's the page (I put a 1p border around the "clear" div so that you can see it for testing): http://www.welcome-home-interiors.net/services.php Below is the HTML and CSS... HTML: Code: <body>

Thanks!... I'm using float:left for my left nav bar, and then clear:both for my footer. Trouble is, I need to use some content boxes that will be using floats and then clears, however, when I use clear:both in my content box, it clears EVERYTHING (meaning it pushes below my navbar, because the navbar is quite long). Is there a workaround or am I using floats/clear wrong? TIA Javashackgirl I'm trying to get a container div to stretch to the size of it's contents. Note, #navigation and #title will be for aesthetics only and aren't being used yet. Am I wrong in thinking that the clear has to go in the containing div, not the component divs? Anyway, I've tried both and neither works. I have: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>

<div id="title">
<!-- title -->

<div id="navigation">

<!-- jumpbox -->
<!-- subscription_and_rss_images -->

<div style="border:3px solid red; clear:both">
<div class="leftcolumn" style="border:3px solid green;">

This produces: I've got a div that incorporates some inline styling. Looks fine on a blank page, but when I insert it into a more complex page it inherits all the styling of the stylesheets. Is there anyway to I can have this div ignore all inherited styling and just format itself according to browser defaults and its own inline styling? Hello, The divs numbered #4(extra2) and #5(navigation2) cannot give way to other divs . How can I clear the other divs?

Hello, Consider the following design: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> </div> And the CSS classes: .A {float:left; clear:left} .B {float:left; clear:right} This does not work well. So I always do as follow: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> <div id="clear" class="clear"></div> </div> Whe .A {clear:both} This always happens when I have divs inside other divs. Does anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks, Miguel In this header www.johnschureman.com I have an image, an h1 and a subtitle div. Code: <div id="header">
<img src="../images/jschu-crop150h.jpg">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" >:<?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="subtitle">
<!-- Here's the tagline -->
<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
</div>
</div>
I cannot figure out in my css how to make the subtitle appear below the h1. Code: #header {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:170px;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 3px;
/* padding-top:110px;
padding-bottom:10px;

border-bottom: 1px solid #bab1b1;
background: #404040;
}
#header img {
float:left;
display:inline;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 10px;
border:none;
}

display: inline;
float:right;
padding:0px;
margin: 0px;
padding-top:100px;

Hope this is enough info. I've been playing with clear, position, etc. Help? Thanks in advance. - Willi Hi, Im not sure whats going wrong with this, but I have two DIV elements on the page: 1st div "googleMap" CSS for googleMap: #googleMap { height: 300px; width: 500px; float: left; } 2nd div "page_right" CSS for page_right: #page_right { width: 300px; clear: left; float: right; } Could someone please tell me why page_right DIV is not clearing the googleMap div? I've just about had enough so hope some kind person will no the answer!! Here is the live page (showing the flaw): belvoir-mortgages.co.uk/contact.php Thanks Lee I can't figure out how to clear the float for the columns with the text column 1 and 2.

This page works fine in Firefox, but in IE, the float makes the content move off the page to the left. I figured out that without a background-color applied to the .textBox style (which is the DIV that contains the text and image I am floating) it works. However, I really would like the .textBox to have a background color. Anybody knows what to do? Here is the page: http://www.jbbdesign.com/wip/index4.html many thanks, Julia hello all, once again, IE is presenting problems where everything else is just fine. specifically, my footer isn't clearing. i've looked around and apparently this is nothing new, but none of the fixes seem to be working. so first, the offending page (one look in IE and all will be understood instantly): http://www.teamsnowvalley.com/news/headline.php?id=12 i've made the footer RED to indicate the snafu in IE. relevant CSS (i stripped out unnecessary crap): #content { float:left; display:block; margin:0 0 25px } #content .full { float:left; width:500px; padding-right:15px; border-right:solid 2px #CCC } #rightSideBar { float:left; padding-left:15px; width:207px } #footer { clear:both; padding:20px 0; background:red url(/images/footerBG.gif) repeat-x top } HAAAAALLLLLPPP thanks m never mind. I finally got the alpha loader to work.. and, my transparent PNG files work great as a background in IE - I even have a page that loads many links for using Lightbox.. and, it works great. But.. now.. in Firefox and Safari.. I don't have a background.. it is crystal clear.. *Gulp* Can anybody help me? I searched google to see if there was a fix for this problem, and found a few hits, however, the solutions were not solutions. I tried them, yes the backgrounds of my clear .png's were still being filled with some random color. Is there anyone than can tell me how to make a .png's background clear in internet explorer? I have some simple code that works in all recent browsers, including IE8+. But with some people out there still using IE7, for which it does something odd, and I've been asked to make it work with that as well. I've dumbed it down to it's basics, and it's just easiest to see with a visual. http://www.poweredpages.com/test.php I have four boxes, labeled 1 through 4. It's supposed to wrap at 3, with 4 to the right of that box. In IE7, It wraps at 3 (correctly, because of the clear), but then box 4, which has a float:left after the cleared 3 box, jumps back up to the 1 and 2 row. Any thoughts on how do get this working with the least amount of editing would be appreciated. In real life, I have the left boxes as a class "label" and the right boxes as another class "input", so if I could just add something to one of these classes and be done w/ it, that would be great. Of course, I could put another entire DIV around each row to fix this, but that would require altering a whole bunch of code. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I have one div within several larger div's (one box inside several larger boxes) The larger boxes have certain formats on them. I don't want any of them to apply to the small box in question. How do I clear all of the previous commands? Page in question: This is what it looks like now. I want to change the tree structure at the bottom (Past Pierced Shows) www.pierced.ca/pierced-events.htm What it should look like (Not color, just layout) www.pierced.ca/NoName.html Thanks for your help.
