Basically what you have there is a main wrapping DIV (div#page) set as relatively positioned, with a DIV inside it (div#branding-main) absolutely positioned near the bottom left of "div#page". It works fine in every browser and (usually) in IE6. The problem is that in 1/30 of page reloads in IE6 the absolutely positioned DIV will be assigned an incorrect value for the BOTTOM property, and will be rendered in the wrong spot on the page. I can't seem to be able to tell what is causing this. It seems like removing one of the DIVs that the content is wrapped in stops it from happening...but I can't say for sure. Also, since this bug is time-dependant, I have added the superflous text and images to give the page a larger profile. The original page I was working on when I discovered this bug is much more graphically rich, and seems to invoke the bug more often than this dumbed down page. I don't think this is directly related to hasLayout, as I am fairly certain I have exhausted that possibility by adding hasLayout to every relevant element. However, giving "div#page" a height larger than the height of the content (ie. an explicit height not dependant on the length of the content) seems to prevent the bug. Giving an explicit width to "div#page" doesn't make a difference. Moving the "div#branding-main" to the bottom of the document seems to prevent the bug as well. However, I'm hoping there is a solution without changing the HTML in such a major way. Please help! Similar Tutorialslink There's something odd going on with the first quote box div and h2 that I can't quite work out, it doesn't appear to happen to subsequent divs (even though they're just copied and pasted...) Any ideas what could be causing that and how to fix it? Thanks --James I am fairly new to .css but am trying to make my site 100% css formatted. One of my test pages is up at: http://www.nikdaum.com/artnew/poems.htm The issue lies in the grey navbar at the top. It's container's width is set to scale to 100% of the containing block, the white column, and inside this block is another block that is centered horizontally. Everythng works fine on Safari and Firefox on MAC, but in IE on PC the bar doesn't span the whole width and instead pushed to the left leaving a pretty wide gap on the right side. Any advice would be appreciated. The .css file for the navbar is at http://www.nikdaum.com/navbar.css But the css for rest of the page is in the html file. Thanks alot, Nik I have a very curious problem with the formatting of input fields in html forms which has me completely stumped. Basically, input fields are not looking as they should (and in particular, not showing any text typed inside them) in any versions of IE (well, 6, 7 and 8 anyway) - tested on various machines so not a Windows installation issue. Despite my setting a class for them I cannot get them to look like proper inputs, nor can I make the inputted text visible. I can see the cursor for the text when I click inside where the input should be, but it looks far too small- about 4 px as far as I can tell. (???) Interestingly in Firefox the text inputted IS visible, although the border of the inputs doesn't show. I've set a class for input: input {border:1px #000; color:#000;} I also tried setting this explicitly for inside the div holding a form where the input appears: .searchform input {border:1px #000; color:#000;} Neither of which work. Here's one of the forms where I'm trying to include the input (hashes at the moment for links as it's in development): <form action="#" method="POST" name="searchform"> <img src="/images/freecallback.gif" alt="Free Call Back"> <a href="#" title="Member Login"><img src="/images/memberlogin.gif" alt="Member Login"></a> <input type="text" name="searchtext" value="" size="8" /> <input type="image" src="/images/searchbutton.gif" name="searchform" /> </form> And here's another form (same result though interestingly the SELECT appears ok): <form action="#" name="bookahotel" method="post"> <label>Arrival</label> <input name="date" size="6" type="text" /> <p class="text_normalblack">Arriving Today</p> <input name="country" size="6" value="Country" type="text" /> <input name="towncity" size="6" value="Town/City" type="text" /> <select name="_EnquiryType" size="1" class="forminputs" /> <option>1</option> <option>2</option> <option>3</option> <option>4</option> <option>5</option> <option>6</option> <option>7</option> </select> <input name="bookahotel_search" size="6" value="" type="image" src="/images/bookahotel_search.gif" /> </form> Any ideas??? Thanks hi i've built a site for a client: http://www.ad-international.org/ using CSS for layout. it seems IE users (Mac and PC) can't copy and paste text from the site. it works fine in safari, mozilla and firefox. anyone come across this before? or have any solutions? i can't find anything on the web soi far... thanks dave I am creating a page where I will list OS names, and when I mouse over the name I would like to display the versions in the database for the corresponding name. The problem I am having is that I'm trying to use span to display the versions but I keep getting a document.all.menu1.style is null or not an object. Here is my code. I don't seewhere it's not working since I got this code from a tutorial and the tutorial code works just fine. <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> #menu1 { display : none } A:link {color:black; text-decoration:none} A:hover {color:blue; text-decoration:underline} </STYLE> <td bgcolor="#DCEBEB"> <SPAN onMouseOver="document.all.menu1.style.display = 'block'" onMouseOut="document.all.menu1.style.display = 'block'"> <img src="../../images/plus.gif">AIX<br> </SPAN> <SPAN ID="menu1" onClick="document.all.menu1.style.display = 'none'"> <img src="../../images/minus.gif"><a href="http://www.test.com">Testing 1</a><br> <img src="../../images/minus.gif"><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Testing 2</a><br> <img src="../../images/minus.gif"><a href="http://www.cnn.com">Testing 3</a> </SPAN></td> I also am having this problem with the menu in IE6 - the right hand side of the menu dropdown, "Videos", is also showing up on the left hand side, slightly cut off. I know it's "Videos" because when I hover over Videos, the text on the left hand side ("os") also lights up. Is it possible that -999em is not far enough over? What could be the problem/how can I fix this? A related problem, perhaps, is that the first below-menu item starts about 20px below where it should be. I'm new to CSS programming and I'm not too sure what's going on. image showing what the issue is at kburke dot org slash menuleft.jpg - I don't have enough posts to link an image. I really appreciate your help. The menu's in a 980px wide container. Some of the site's still in tables but I'm working on changing that. #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; float:left; width:89.091em; list-style:none; line-height:1; background:#b6791e; font:11px Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; padding:0; margin:0 0 .5em 0; } #nav a { display: block; width: 11.1em; w\idth: 10.1em; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; padding: 0.75em 0.5em; } #nav a.daddy { } #nav li { float: left; padding: 0; width: 11.1em; position:relative; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; left: -999em; height:auto; width: 14.7em; w\idth: 14.5em; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding:0; background:#FFFFFF; color:#769841; border: 0.1em solid #769841; } #nav li ul a:hover{ color:#ffff30; background:#769841; } #nav li ul li a{ color:#769841; } #nav li li { padding-right: 1em; width: 14.5em; w\idth:13.5em; } #nav li:hover ul { left: auto; } #nav li a:hover, nav li.sfhover a:hover{ color:#FFFF30; } #nav li ul li a:hover { color:#FFFF30; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { left: auto; clear:both; } #nav li ul ul { margin: -3.3em 0 0 5em; } #nav li:hover, #nav li.sfhover { background: #769841; } #nav li a:hover, #nav li.sfhover a:hover{ color: #ffff30; } #nav li ul a{ color:#769841; padding:.4em; } I have a three column layout currently. The left and right column contain borders to the central column where all of the website content is planned to be. The problem that I have is that I do not want the left and right border columns to be in the windows scrollable area. For example, If someone views the site using an 1024x768 resolution, the page currently loads with a scroll bar at the bottom. To be able to see all of the central column, you have to scroll over slightly. If the right and left column were not in the scrollable area, the middle column would be 100% visible on load and also you would be able to see half of the right and left border. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I understand that what I am asking for is not that clear and any problems please say and I can draw a diagram. Cheers Ok, well I guess the real problem here is my lack of understanding on exactly how different browsers interpret CSS. I found a tutorial about Swordfish CSS menus, seemed simple enough but when I tired to add some styling to it the whole thing became a huge mess. It looks great in IE, but netscape totally ruins it. Makes me wanna just go back to using tables http://dev.dreamhost.com/test.html If someone can see an immediate problem here, or can suggest a better way of making cross browser pull-downs it would be greatly appreciated. Basic premise: Top of pull down will be a graphic Pull down part will be html/css Pull down part will have a margin of 4px, and the bg color will cover 100% so it looks like a regular roll over. Please go to this page - http://www.pacunionsonoma.com/real-estate-agent.asp?realtor=51 On the top right click on Active Listings Then watch the top agent image, title, and intro text. It is out of place BUT only until the page finishes loading, then it "jumps" in place... |
