CSS - Ie List Issue (if You Can Believe It)
Hey,
Page in question In FF, the top menu (laser tag, arcade etc.) works well...'glo golf' is sitting on the 'bear factory' option as it should...no dice in IE, i don't know what the deal is. here's the css; Code: #activities { position:absolute; top:233px; left:-5px; width:760px; height:80px; margin:auto; } #activities a { text-decoration:none; display:block; height:80px; } #activities li#glogolf a { background-image:url(images/glogolf_button_off.gif); } #activities li#glogolf a:hover{ background:transparent; } #activities li#glogolf { background-image:url(images/glogolf_button_roll.gif); width:190px; height:40px; float:left;} #activities li#bearfactory a { background-image:url(images/bearfactory_button_off.gif); } #activities li#bearfactory a:hover{ background:transparent; } #activities li#bearfactory { background-image:url(images/bearfactory_button_roll.gif); width:190px; height:40px;float:right;} Thanks! Similar TutorialsIm having spacing issues with my main navigation. I cant get rid of the spaces between the li. There are these white spaces between the dark gray navigation. Ive tried putting negative px in my li and my paddings/margins for li are 0. I am fairly new to css and this is my first list navigation. Any help is appreciated. THANKS Code: CSS #pipe { font-size:13px; } #pipe ul { float: left; margin-top: 74px; margin-left: 143px; padding: 0; display: inline; } #pipe ul li { margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px; /*border-left: 1px solid #000;*/ list-style: none; display: inline; width: 100%; } #pipe ul li.first { background-image: none; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; border-left: none; list-style: none; display: inline; } #pipe li a:link { /*background-image:url(images/navline.gif);*/ background-color:#999; color:#333333; padding: 19px; margin-right: 0px; text-decoration: none; } #pipe li a:visited { /*background-image:url(images/navline.gif);*/ background-color:#999; color:#333333; padding: 19px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; } #pipe li a:active { /*background-image:url(images/navline.gif);*/ background-color:#999; color:#333333; padding: 19px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; } #pipe li a:hover { color:#ffffff; background-image:url(images/navline_on.gif); padding: 19px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; } Code: HTML <div id="pipe"> <ul> <li><a href="(a href="")">HOME</a></li> <li><a href="(a href="")">WHAT WE DO</a></li> <li><a href="(a href="")">SEMINAR</a></li> </ul> </div> I have a list of faculty members with a picture and bio for each entry and I am having trouble creating a consistent amount of vertical space between the entries. This is because some of the bios are shorter than the picture and some are longer, requiring me (for the shorter entries) to add <br />s to the bio to reach the end of the picture. Of course, depending on the browser and display settings, a greater or smaller number of <br />s are needed to get to the end of the picture so code that looks right on one pc does not look right on another. Here's a sample of the code I am using: Code: <h3 class="blue_title">Bob Smith</h3> <p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/bob.jpg" alt="bob" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Math and Physics.</em><br />The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. <em>Since 1999.</em></p> <br /><br /><br /> <p> </p> <h3 class="blue_title">Edgar Jones</h3> <p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/edgar.jpg" alt="edgar" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Spanish, Greek, Latin,<br />and Latin American History.</em><br />he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.<em>Since 2005.</em></p> <p> </p> Because the bio in the first entry is short, I need those three extra <br />s to reach the bototm of the picture (otherwise the next entry floats up and into the first). But as a result, the spacing between entries where the top entry needed <br />s looks wrong compared to other entries depending on the user's individual settings. Any sugestions for how to fix this problem? I guess I could set up a table and use different rows for each entry, but I was hoping not to need a table. Thanks. (p.s. - I am using joomla for this site but I don't think that's relevant to this question.) My site has two areas that display a similar looking menu. It's just horizontal links for home, blog, shopping cart, etc. I think it uses a list to display these. My question is if you look the following link, the horizontal menu links at the top display instantly. easylinuxcds.com/blog On this second link they bunch up the the left for a second then spread out into the proper horizontal format. easylinuxcds.com How can I prevent this and have both pages look like /blog? Thank you for reading - Andrew Here are a couple of questions, all are in reference to THIS LAYOUT 1) There seems to be an Internet Explorer issue where bullets don't always show up on list items, any ideas how to fix this? 2) It wont validate in XHTML simply because of two urls I use, anyone have any hacks as to how to fix this? 3) I've only been able to test on IE and Firefox, so if anyone is on a different browser and can let me know of any other issues it would be amazing. Thanks in advanced! Trying to resolve the spacing issues when using a list. IE honors the set margin while FF appears to add much more amrgin spacing. I have tried using display:inline but when I do, I lose the haning indent. Any suggestions? Weird issue with FF ive noticed can anyone explain why this happens? I have two divs, header and nav. Nav is inside header. Now when I placed a list inside nav it pushed my header div down abit maybe 15px. However when I added the following rule... Code: #nav ul{ margin-top:0px; } The error goes away. Strange isnt it?

expert, so I'm experiencing this problem with a dynamic list of message board topics. Inside of a table, I've got the following DIV to create each topic with rounded borders for the buttons. Code: <div id="topic"> <b class="rtop"><b class="r1"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r4"></b></b> <a href="?action=message_board&topic_id={ID}" class="green11">{name}</a> <b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r1"></b></b> </div> The CSS is... Code: div#topic{ margin: 2 2px; background: #D8EEE7; float: left; font-weight:bold;} b.rtop, b.rbottom{display:block;background: #FFF} b.rtop b, b.rbottom b{display:block;height: 1px; overflow: hidden; background: #D8EEE7} b.r1{margin: 0 5px} b.r2{margin: 0 3px} b.r3{margin: 0 2px} b.rtop b.r4, b.rbottom b.r4{margin: 0 1px;height: 2px} Here's my problem...in Firefox/Safari/Camino, it does exactly what I want. Each button is dynamically sized perfectly, and they display (left floated) one after the other, but in IE, it displays them as a vertical (rather than horizontal) list. I'd imagine this has something to do with the FLOAT tag, but I have no idea how to solve the problem. Here's the link...I'm referring to the list of topics under "BOARD TOPICS": http://www.2ndfloor.org/message_board_updates/index.php?action=message_board Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jeremy Seems like most people use unordered lists for menus. Code: <ul> <li>menu1</li> <li>menu2</li> <li>menu3</li> </ul> Others use definition lists. They claim it is less buggy with IE. Code: <dl> <dt>menu1</dt> <dt>menu2</dt> <dt>menu3</dt> </dl> Any thoughts on whether unordered lists or definition lists are best? Also, I sometimes see the menu text surrounded by a SPAN tag. I believe this has to do with only being able to assign one attribute to an element, but am uncertain. Can anyone help explain? Also, if I want a single HTML to work with various CSS, is it a good idea to always include the SPAN tag? Code: <ul> <li><span>menu1</span></li> <li><span>menu2</span></li> <li><span>menu3</span></li> </ul> Thanks I have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code: #cellid { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; } #cellid ul { margin: 10px 0 0 20px; padding: 0 0; } #cellid li { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif); } The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian Hi, Have an unordered list which I use as a menu. I have set the list-style-type property to none because I don't want any bullets or anything. When I look at the menu within a bordered div, it seems like there is a margin to the left of the <ul>. Eventhough there are no bullets in the <ul>, the <li> are still placed at the same location from the left. How can I left adjust the unordered list so that there are no visible margin at the left side? /Hubba Bubba Hi I have a vertical menu containing main and subcategories. subcats are hidden, when a main cat is clicked then subcats are displayed, all is done with css no javascript. here is the structure, Code: <ul id="nav"> <li class="level item-1 nav-clothes active parent"> <a href="/clothes.html"><span>Clothes</span></a> <ol class="level item-1"> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-shirts"> <a href="/clothes/shirts.html"><span>Shirts</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-tanks"> <a href="/clothes/tanks.html"><span>Tanks</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-raincoats"> <a href="/clothes/raincoats.html"><span>Raincoats</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-dresses"> <a href="/clothes/dresses.html"><span>Dresses</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-swimsuits"> <a href="/clothes/swimsuits.html"><span>Swimsuits</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-outerwear last"> <a href="/outerwear.html"><span>Outerwear</span></a> </li> </ol></li> <li class="level item-2 nav-beds parent"> <a href="/beds.html"><span>Beds</span></a> here is my all related css, external css file, Code: #nav { font-size:13.5px; color:#000; padding:0 0 0 0; margin:-20px 0 0 0; width:100%;} /* All Levels */ #nav li { text-align:left; } #nav li.over { z-index:999; } #nav a, #nav a:hover { display:block; line-height:1.3em; text-decoration:none; } #nav span { display:block; cursor:pointer; white-space:nowrap; } #nav li ul span {white-space:normal; } #nav li li.parent {} /* 0 Level */ #nav li { clear:both; position:relative; display:block; } #nav li.active a { color:#000; text-decoration:underline; } #nav a { float:left; padding:2px 14px 11px 0px; color:#000; font-weight:bold; } #nav li.over a, #nav a:hover { color:#000; text-decoration:underline; } #nav .item-1 ul a { background:url(../images/arr_sub_menu.gif) 0 9px no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-2 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-3 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-4 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-5 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-6 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-7 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-8 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-9 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav ul li a { padding:0 0 0 0;} #nav ul li a:hover { padding:0 0 0 0; text-decoration:none;} /* 1st Level */ #nav ul li, #nav ul li.active { float:none; margin:0; padding:6px 0 0 29px; background:#FFFFFF; border-left:1px solid #E8E7E7; border-right:1px solid #E8E7E7; } #nav ul li.over {} #nav ul li.last { background:#FFFFFF; padding-bottom:15px; } #nav ul a, #nav ul a:hover { float:none; padding:0;} #nav ul li a { font-weight:normal !important; } /* 2nd level */ #nav ul { position:absolute; width:199px; top:23px; left:-10000px; background:url(../images/bg_sub_menu.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; padding:23px 0 0 0; border-bottom:1px solid #E8E7E7; margin-left:100px; } /* 3rd+ Level */ #nav ul ul { top:5px; background:none; padding-top:0; border-top:1px solid #E8E7E7; } /* Show Menu */ #nav li.over > ul { left:0; } #nav li.over > ul li.over > ul { left:100px; } #nav li.over ul ul { left:-10000px; } #nav ul li a { background:url(../images/arr_sub_menu.gif) 0 9px no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616; } #nav ul li a:hover { color:#1A1616 !important; } #nav ul span, #nav ul li.last li span { padding:3px 15px 4px 15px; } #nav li ul { display:none; } #nav li:hover ul{display: block; } #nav ol { margin-left:5px; margin-bottom:10px; } #nav ol li { padding-left:15px; background-image:url(../images/ol_bg_lines.gif); font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; } #nav ol li.last { background-image:url(../images/ol_bg_lines_last.gif); } inline css code to overwrite the default behavior for target page Code: ul#nav {margin : 0 10px; margin-bottom:0px;} ul#nav li {height : 14px; margin-top : 5px;} ul#nav li a, ul#nav li a:hover {} ul#nav ul {margin-top : -8px; background : url(/images/drop-ul-bgr.gif) no-repeat; } ul#nav ul li {height : auto; margin-top : auto;} ul#nav ol li a { padding:0px; } ul#nav ol li { margin:0px; padding:5px 0 5px 15px; } ul#nav ol { border:#ccc 1px solid; padding-bottom:30px; } I am attaching a screenshot to explain the problem, i have given border to the OL to explain the problem. In the screenshot the pink arrow is pointing the place, BEFORE BEDS, where i want to give more space but the child list keeps overlapping rather than pushing the parent list downwards. any help is much appreciated I am really stuck with this. Hi, I have an OL list (the numbered one) and the horz gap between the list item number (as automatically generated by OL) and the text of the LI is too big (according to client). Looks fine in FF but is bigger alright on IE (ahem naturally .....) I've played with the CSS for both the OL & LI styles even setting all margins and paddings to 0 but without effect on the gap. Is there any way to style that gap? Code below. Kevin <ol class="most_read"> <li class="most_read_li">Apples</li> <li class="most_read_li">Oranges</li> </ol> .most_read { text-align:left; color:#808080; font-size:10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:normal; margin-left:30px; padding:0px; margin-top:5px; } .most_read_li { margin-bottom:7px; margin-right:7px; } Hi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS.

Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks WHAT IS THE TYPICAL CSS PROBLEM FOR THIS ISSUE? w w w. jaywayproductions . c o m/portfolio/work_history.html It suppose to look the way it looks in IE. It is a little off in Firefox. I have been try'n several things to solve this particular issue but cannot. It seems as if the bottom and top row stretches and makes the effect I was trying to accomplish look off in FF. You can understand what I'm sayin' when you view both. Does anyone know why it is doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hi everyone, For years I've been using tables solely to position elements on web pages but it's come to my attention that this is now "frowned" upon in the web community so I figured if I'm going to start doing things the more common way (with DIVs) I might as well start now. I'm not a professional website developer (C programmer here...eek! haha), but I do part time web work for some important clients of mine. So I have a very simple layout done with DIVs/CSS to start (code at the bottom). The problem is when you render it you'll see a large gap between the bottom of the layout and bottom of the page. My hypothesis is that this is due to where the "DIVs" would normally have been, except I moved them around. It sounds very similar to the problem encountered he http://forums.devshed.com/css-help-116/how-to-remove-blank-space-at-bottom-554773.html but I don't see what he did to solve it. Note that ultimately what I want is only the "header" and "footer" to have a fixed width/height. The leftcol and content should have fixed widths, but height grow with what ever is in them. And it should be centered in the page the way it is now. I tried various "text-wrap" and "height: 100%" and a few different codes but no luck. I really don't want to have to give up on DIV's but I am finding them a tad frustrating . I've altered the code from here (http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Web-Style-Sheets/DIV-Based-Layout-with-CSS/3/). I tried "floating" them but that didn't seem to help either or is messes up my centering, plus I don't want it expanding to different resolutions. Thanks in advance if you can give a DIV newbie a heads up.

Thanks for your help in advance.. Dan Hello I am having difficulties with a site I am working on. First, if you look at it in IE and roll your mouse to the right of the site the whole thing shifts to the left. No idea why it does this. Second: In Firefox it looks like a disaster! Help! http://www.tombraiders.net/katie/shelly/index.html User: letme Pass: in Thank you! I'm having trouble pinning down an issue with just one part of a page. I can't seem to figure out if the issue is a css issue or an HTML issue. I have a tab that is under a picture that has a floating height and fixed width. Under the picture when the page first loads a div element that is supposed to be a css tab seems to float over it until I reload the page. When the page is reloaded the tab moves back to its static position. This only happens in IE7 by the way. Please help me style lists. This is the on area I am having a really hard time understanding. I have a menu list in my side bar and a standard list in the content section. I keep having problems because the styles seem to be conflicting with each other. My site is http://www.myslavelake.com/dir/budget-2009/ Code for the menu Code: <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="#">Arctic Ice Centre </a></li> <li><a href="#">Water Conservation </a></li> <li><a href="#">Capital Priorities</a></li> </ul> Code: #sidebar ol, ul, li { font-size: 1.0em; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; list-style-image:none; list-style-position:outside; list-style-type:none; } #navlist ol, ul { padding: 5px 0px 0px 0px; } The main list code Code: #content ul { margin-left: 0; list-style-type: square; /*text-indent: -1em;*/ } #content ul li { font-weight: normal; list-style-type: square; font-weight: normal; /*text-indent: -1em;*/ } I am happy with the menu but would like normal list for the content section. Right know bullets are not showing up in the content section. Hello, I created a menu using an unordered list and after the list I have a div with some text: http://www.27lamps.com/public/Menu.htm My menu gets over the div. Why? Thanks, Miguel |
