CSS - Ie Container Bottom Margin

Hi guys,

I'm having a real problem with CSS on this page.

The page views fine in IE, but in firefox I cannot get the green box (div id=maincontent) to extend down to the bottom of the black box... as you can see the black box simply flows out. The green box is extending down to the bottom of the white box, but it stops there. Can anyone think of any obvious ways to fix this?

I tried placing a clear:both div at the bottom of main content (which is the red bar you can see) , but that too only actually clears the white box, not the black one.

Here's the main bits of css...

Code:

#maincontent
{
  position:relative;
  width:762px;
  margin-top:0px;
  background-image:url(contentbkg.jpg);
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  padding-top:10px;
  text-align:left;
}

#left
{
font-size:12px;
color:#FFFFFF;
float:left;
margin-left:5px;
margin-top:10px;
}

#right
{
color:#FFFFFF;
float:right;
margin-right:10px;
margin-top:10px;
position:absolute;
#position:relative;
}

#translucentblack {
   width: 150px; 
   float:right;
   background-color: #000000; 
   filter:alpha(opacity=40);
   -moz-opacity:0.4;
   opacity: 0.4;
    font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	padding:5px;
}

#opaqueblack {
   width: 150px;     
   background-color: transparent;   
   float:right; 
   position:absolute;
   margin-left:592px;
   #margin-left:22px;         
   z-index: 2;    
   font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;   
   padding:5px;       
}

#translucentbkg {
	color:#FFFFFF;
	font-size:12px;
   width: 566px; 
   background-color:#FFFFFF ;
   filter:alpha(opacity=80);
   -moz-opacity:0.8;
   opacity: 0.8;
	padding:5px;
	text-align:left;
	font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

#opaquetext 
{
color:#006600;
font-size:12px;
   width: 566px;     
   background-color: transparent;    
   position:absolute;       
   z-index: 2;    
   padding:5px;         
   text-align:left;
   font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

basically left and right sit inside maincontent, then opaquetext and translucentbkg sit inside left, whilst opaqueblack and translucentblack sit inside right! phew

The reason for opaque and translucent divs is that I'm using mozilla's tip here http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Useful_CSS_tips:Color_and_Background

mirroring content and positioning one div over another to get semi transparent backgrounds.

Hope that all made sense... any help would be incredible!!!

thanks!

Hi All,

I'm trying to create some expanding headers using images and background color/images. Everything seems to be working fine except that at the bottom of the heading there is a 1 or 2 pixel showing of the background color!

I assume it is something I'm missing in the CSS rule as the problem occurs in both Mozilla and IE!

Click here to see example

It's not the images as there on a white background and are cropped fine as can be seen from the enlarged left side image.

[html]
<div style="width: 162px; color: white; background: green; margin: 0; padding: 0;"><img src="/RhL.gif" width="25" height="50" border="0"><span>HEADING TEXT</span><img src="/RhR.gif" width="25" height="25"></div>
[/html]

Any help kindly appreciated

PHP Addict

I'm attempting to get it so when the main content div exceeds my min-height specifications, that it expands the div, which in turn expands the container with an absolutely positioned footer at bottom:0;. Works fine in all newer browsers with the exception of IE7. What do I need to do to get it to expand in that version? Here is the link to the page:

http://www.chcs-ut.com/chcs-new.php

And the stylesheet:

http://www.chcs-ut.com/css/style.css

Also, I would really rather not have to specify a min-height for my main content div. I'd rather just have it automatically fill to 100% of the main container that is set to 100% height and min-height, so that the footer automatically appears at the bottom of the screen if the content is not large enough to push it down there by itself. Can't seem to get it to work, though (in ANY browser) without specifying a min-height for the main content div. Problem with that is different resolutions/browsers would require a different value, so hard-coding it isn't a desireable solution. Any thoughts?


EDIT:

Both problems were fixed by adding "height:auto !important" to my main content container, instead of specifying a "min-height". Works across the board!

I seem to be missing the margin at the bottom of my subforums in IE. Works fine in FF. See the subforums, in IE the boxes are right up against the bottom instead of spaced out like in FF.

Anyone please help me with the solution? Thanks in advance

I cannot figure out how to get rid of the bottom margin on my body tag. It's driving me nuts. It's set to zero explicitly yet there's still a gap between the body tag and the bottom of the page. I don't think it's a browser bug since it happens in both FF and Opera.

site: gohanman.com/cms/image/tid/3 (forum rules say I can't link)

There has to be something simple, but I don't know any way to change the bottom margin other than setting margin-bottom...

http://dailyblogdose.com Above the image there is a bunch of links to the different pages, well on Firefox when you hover on them, there is a border-bottom underline. On IE7 however it disappears.

I could get them back by adding display:block; to #pages ul li a:hover however it makes them look slightly elevated. Any other ways?

Hi There -

Have a simple container div containing two other divs, top and content.

My problem is that I can't get the colorboxtop to stick to the top of its container. There's a wayward space. Can't find any stray margins or padding hanging around. Perhaps fresh eyes can see what I cannot. Please let me know.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Code:

<body>

<div class="colorbox">

  <div class="colorboxtop">
    <h2>title goes here</h2>
  </div><!-- /colorboxtop -->

  <div class="boxcontent">
    <p>You should read this and <a href="#">Click Here</a>.</p>
    <a title="Go Here!" href="#">[button]</a>
  </div><!-- /boxcontent -->

</div><!-- /colorbox -->

</body>

No great complexity there...here's the CSS:

Code:

body {
	color:#666666;
	font-family:Lucida Grande,Verdana,sans;
	font-size:10px;
	font-size-adjust:none;
	font-style:normal;
	font-variant:normal;
	font-weight:normal;
	line-height:13px;
}

.colorbox {
	margin-bottom:9px;
	padding-bottom:15px;
	width:300px;
	border:thin solid #CCCCCC;
}

.colorbox h2 {
	color:#FFCC33;
}

.colorbox {
	color:#CC6633;
	padding:0px 20px 15px;
	margin-top:0;
	margin-bottom:10px;
}

.colorboxtop {
	background-color: #dddddd;
	height:50px;
	color:#666666;
	background-image: url(images/bg_Tiles/stripe-dk-blue-green.png);
	padding:auto 20px;
}

.colorbox a {
	color:#C5DBE9;
	font-weight:bold;
	text-decoration:none;
}

I've been looking through many, many forums trying to resolve this issue, so please forgive me if there is a solution to this that I've missed.

Here's the deal:
On some installs of Firefox (4.0), the body is being positioned 28px lower than the top of the screen. I set the <html> tag to have a light blue background to troubleshoot the issue, and now there is a light blue bar across the top of the page, proving that it is the body of the page that is lower than it should be.

I thought it was a Firefox "collapsing margin" issue, so I added "margin:0; to almost everything, and it didn't help.

I'm trying to do this without having to absolutely position everything.

Here's the site:
www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com

here's the css:
www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com/wp-content/themes/myportlandtours/style.css

Anybody have insight into this?

Background info:
- I have validated the page and CSS, no problems there
- Site is working properly in Firefox and IE, seems to be a margin issue in Safari
-This margin issue is not the common Safari bug with a negative margin being applied to a floated element
-I am using Safari in a windows environment, I do not have a Mac

The problem:
-in Safari the top margin on the content either is either not being applied at all or is being interpreted differently
-it may be of note that I was having the same issue with IE, but was able to specify an IE specific style sheet for it, I don't believe this is possible in Safari?

this is bugging the hell out of me, cant find a working answer anywhere (i've tried a bunch of things)

So I have 3 images for the top of my page and 3 images for the bottom.

The page is enclosed in a div frame titled "frame"

each of the 3 columns is enclosed in a frame "leftframe" "centerframe" and "rightframe"

Each of the 3 columns has a top which is a fixed size image at the top, a middle which is just empty space for content to go, and a bottom which is a fixed size image at the bottom.

Problem: I can't get any of the 3 column's bottoms to stick to the bottom of "frame"

I've tried some code in here to do it and it doesn't work..


any help here?

thanks!

Hi all

Take a look at this in Firefox and then in IE7:

http://www.josh.ch/files/temp/ie7_margin_bug/formulare.html

The text input and the textarea fields have a strange margin on the left in IE7 that shouldn't be there. It seems to be "inherited" by the outher paragraph, just change the value in css/general.css on line 29 to see it happen. FF and IE6 behave well, IE7 doesn't.

Interestingly, the select field (and all the other fields like radio buttons and checkboxes) don't have this problem.

I did a search and found this link:

http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatIndent.html

Seems to be something like that, but the display:inline fix didn't help. the only way I see is a minus margin for the text input and textarea fields for IE7 only, but maybe there's a cleaner way?

Thanks a lot for help :-)

Hello there, first post, just need a quick fix. Hope you don't mind.

So I'm trying to make myself a new portfolio site, but there's this 'error' I can't seem to fix...

(Can't post a link in my first post, so just copy/paste "hellspike.thanez.org/newsite" in the addybar.)

Basically that 150*300 infobar is supposed to be right next to the image, but it always ends up above or below the container.

<!--AK47-->
<div id="imgcont0">
<div id="imgcont1"><img src="images/ak47/1.jpg"></div>
<div id="imgcont2"><img src="images/ak47/info.jpg"></div>
</div>
<!--/AK47-->

imgcont0 is a 825*300 container, in which imcont1 (render) and 2 (infobar) are supposed to be.

Stylesheet:

#imgcont0 {
width: 825px;
height: 300px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

#imgcont1 {
width: 650px;
}

#imgcont2 {
margin-left: 675px;
width: 150px;
}

As you see the code is simple, yet I can't seem to fix this problem. Ideas?

Hi there,

I have recently stumbled about a problem I had with another website I made as well, but since it was at the very bottom back then I kinda ignored it. My new website has this right in the header though, and so I decided to ask for help. Works perfectly in Gecko based browsers, though.

I have the problem that I have to Div's right after each other which both have a top and bottom margin of zero, but there is a visible gap between them, only in IE though (header and content as well as content and footer) and in Opera 7.54 at the very bottom. The colors of the background PNG are also broken in IE, never mind that, will exchange that with a JPG.

Website in question is http://cyxxon.com, WordPress with my own template. Had the same problem with a website completely handcoded by me.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure where I'm making my mistake but I can't seem to get the boxes inside the container to stay at 100%. Here is the css code

Code:

body {
margin: 0; /* zeroes the margins on the body */
padding: 0; /* zeroes the padding on the body ~ Opera carries a default
padding and requires this zeroing */
border: 0; /* zeroes off any existing border */
text-align: center; /* Hack to center the wrapper in IE5.x pc */
background-color:#BB7900;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
}


/* START OF LAYOUT FOR LITTLECREATIONSPHOTOGRAPHY.COM */

.wrapper { /* This is the block that contains all other blocks */
width:100%;
height:100%;
position:relative;
border:1px solid black;

}
.top_menu { /* This is the box that will contain the link at the top */
height:80px;
width:100%;
border-bottom:1px solid white;
}

.middle_container { /* This is the container box that keeps everything right width and center */
position:relative;
width:750px;
height:100%;
margin:0px auto;
z-index:0;
border:1px solid white;
z-index:1;
}


.left_content { /* This the the left hand on content box */
position:relative;
float:left;
height:100%; /*546px;*/
width:160px;
text-align:left;
padding: 2px 4px 2px 2px;
border-right:1px solid white;
z-index:2;
}

.right_content { /* The box that will contain right hand content, company title and picture */
position:relative;
height:100%;
margin-left:160px;
text-align:left;
padding:4px 2px 2px 10px;
border:1px solid black;
}

And here is the link that will show you want it looks like right now.
