CSS - Ie Aligning Issues

After browsing through w3schools and learning most of what css has to offer I for some reason can't figure out a way to align items using css.

I was just wondering if someone could help me with the correct tag.

Hi I have an issue aligning some links. i have it perfect in FF but it is not the same in IE.

http://www.sun-awnings-direct.co.uk/the-carino-p-29.html

It is the white breadcruumb trail in question. Can anyone advise what IE is doing differently and how I can solve it?

Thanks a lot

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble aligning my content to the edge of the table somehow it shows 20pixels down and I cann't figuere out how to bring it up. Any help will be greatly appreciate. thanks
Code:

<style>
ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 1.0em 0 0 0px; padding: 0; position:relative; overflow: visible; height: auto; text-decoration: none; color: #33FF00;}
ul li { text-decoration: none; width: 230px; color: #000; }
ul li a, ul li a:visited {height: 1.2em; width: 200px; display: block; text-decoration: none; background: blue; margin: 0.1em 0 0 0; text-indent: 10px; padding: 3px; color: #000;}
ul li a:hover { height: 1.2em; display: block; background-color:#FF0000; color: #fff000;}
ul li a.currentpage, ul li { height: 1.2em; text-decoration: none; background: #00ffff; padding: 3px; color: #fff;}
</style>
<table width="234" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td width="230" height="85">
	<ul><li><a href="">HOME</a></li>
        <li><a href="">LINK TWO</a></li>
    </ul>
	</td>
  </tr>
  <tr><td></td></tr>
</table>

Ok well im new to these forums and ive been looking pretty much everywhere for help, so heres my problem. I bought a joomla template from a company, i got it then installed it, but im having one huge issue i cant seem to fix. The news is piling up next to each other instead of each new news post going above the older one in a nice neat line one post after another. Instead they just moosh together after the first post. I emailed the company and they said i had to edit the css and thats all the help i got. I have no knowledge of css and have no idea how to fix the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. A link to my site is below as well as the template css. Please someone help me with this problem.

I am not sure if this is a problem that can be solved with css or not. I have recently switched from straight html to php and have no experience in css.

Basically I split my pages into 5 separate areas. Header, footer, right column, left column and center column. The problem that I am running into is that the header and footer are in the right spot on the page but the left, right and center columns are way off.

Here is a link to my site OWPT
I have my problem, with an example, explained in more detail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to align an image, header, and some text that is right aligned all on the same row. I've been reading so much about inline and block elements that my head feels like it's going to explode. It would look like this:

Code:

Picture - Header                                         Text over here

I'm not sure if everything should be span inside one class or what. I'm very confused. Please help a noob.

Hello all!
Should'nt this class center justify the table. It's left aligning all class='sql' tables and I can't figure why??
TABLE.sql { border: 0 solid #9999FF; align: center; font-color: black; text-align:left; font-weight: bold; }

I have a full css site that im in the mits of creating. It has 3 colums across in the main part of the site as you will see in the link below that some of my divs dont seem to be lining up w/ the top of the page...

http://www.pollutionpaintball.com/version3/dennis_wells.html

I have the first column that contains the thumbnails floating right with a margin-left of the navgition width and the profile div width.

Next I have the navigation floated left

Then I have the profile section in a div w/ a left - margin the size of the navigations width...

any pointers would help...

ive searched google throughout and im blank on how to do this

I need the outer box to be vertiacllly aligned within the viewport, the other boxes vertically aligned within each other. does that make sense? I thought u could do it with line-height but i can't get it working. fresh eyes?

Edit: New code there.

I am redesigning my site, changing it from 2 columns to 3. I can't seem to get the 3rd column where I want it. See: http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/jw09/surety-bonds/commercial-bonds/


My goal is to make the grey "Get Started Now" box to the far right, the text in the center, and the nav buttons to the left.



Is it possible to do this by only modifying the CSS? If I have to change the HTML it will create a TON of work in recoding my templates.

Hi all,
I am having trouble getting my third column to sit in place correctly. Here is the code:

I was wanting all the columns side by side.
Any ideas where i might be going wrong?

Cheers

Ok just so you know what I am trying to do here is a link to the problem page. -Problem aligning images-

Well ok what I want is for the position of the images to be displayed in absolute positions to the page and not to the image before it. Since I am really new to CSS I can't seem to find a good way to do this (without using tables UGH!). I have read about using float and div tags but not sure how to go about it. Here is a link to my other page of pics that display as I want them only because the pics are all the same size.

-Images displayed correctly-

This is the only code I have so far for displaying the images. The first img style aligns the image to the left and the 2nd to center and the 3rd to the right.

Code:

/* Set the style for image(s) displayed */
img.left
{
	margin-left: 10em;
}

img.center
{
	margin-left: 3em;

img.right
{
	margin-left: 3em;
}

Hope that makes sense,
Gerbill

I know I'm probably still thinking in terms of tables...

I have a <div> container with several more <divs> stacked up inside it. They have varying widths. I would like some (maybe not all) to be centered within the primary <div>.

Now, I know I can do this: <div align="center">, but align isn't a property in a style sheet, is it?

Can anyone tell me why the navigation does not align with the logo on the left? I would like the bottom of each element to be along the same line. I can't figure out what is pushing it up.

Thanks
