CSS - Weird Sidebar Div Problem...any Takes?
The site is question is: http:// w ww.stolen-bikes.org/index4.php
The CSS is: http:// w ww.stolen-bikes.org/css/non_ie.css Basically I want the sidebar (blue div), to line up on the side as it is but up flush against the top as you would expect a floated content area with a floated sidebar next to it. If I take out the #sidebar in the css it DOES align right up at the top as I want it to. The minute you as a float:left or width or anything it jumps down to the end of the #masthead div and beginning of the #content div. Im pretty sure I have everything lined up correctly I just cant figure out why this is doing that! Please help! Similar Tutorialsi have created a new model for a 3 column layout, (left sidebar, main content, right sidebar) i used yui 3.0 index.php page as an example to float the main column right. this is designed to put the main column to static so that it is liquid, with a min width. im not working with a liquid layout however, so some adjustments are needing to be made. my site is 950 pixels wide. my sidebars are about 175 pixels each, when used. i have 2 classes that i append to the main column style depending on wether a left sidebar will be used or not. so when i set the #mainColumn for class .marginForLeftNav then it will accomodate for the left nav bar to pop up into place. if no left sidebar, then i use #mainColumn . marginForNoLeftNav class. The problem i am having is trying to accomodate the right sidebar, which will always be used. my requirements a 1) that the side bar html code falls below the main column code on the html page. so essentially i need to leave room in teh mainColumn for these columns to pop up into place. 2) that the styles used to float the left sidebar, and the main column are left in tact if possible. heres some code Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

ive adjsuted the background colors to help see what is going on this is as close as i have gotten it so far. NOTICE, how the main column overflows behind the right sidebar, which makes the content in the right sidebar begin AFTER the bottom of the main column. this is obviously the main problem. I need the main column to obey the right sidebar, depending on wether theres a left sidebar or not. IE CSS Problem. sidebar getting pushed to bottom... I'm working on my new blog. Moding a template from wpdesigner.com http://www.mymovetoeurope.com/ The sidebar menu that is suppose to be on the right gets slipped to the bottom, but it's only for IE 6.0, don't have 7.0 installed. I tried using absolute positioning for the right bar, but it didn't do anything. When there were a lot of content in the sidebar and I increased the container size, it did push the menu back up, but the menu started at the edge of the header. I want to have it so the first right sidebar is under the header. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Thanks. ..never mind! I am presently creating a website for a friend of mine who's a model and wants her own website, I have decided to make it using xhtml and css. The problem that I am having is that I would like to have a footer which is at the very end of the page no matter how much content there is to the page. I have uploaded the code to here When this page is viewed in IE the footer is displayed at the bottom of the screen although the content carries on after the footer. When this page is viewed in Firefox the footer is displayed just below the bottom of the screen although again the content carries on after the footer. I have Googled this and tried out a couple of the suggested ways of getting the page to work and it just doesn't appear to want to work, so I am obviously doing something wrong :s Does anyone have any idea how I would be able to get the footer to stay at the very bottom of the webpage? Also if you look at the website you will see that the navigation sidebar only goes down as far as its content, I would prefer it if the sidebar went down to the footer (which will hopefully be at the bottom of the webpage). Again does anyone have any idea how I would be able to get it to do this. I tried a bunch of stuff to fix this. I only removed the sidebar from the pages, not the blog. This is how the footer is SUPPOSED to look: http://www.regionalcreations.com/fotografix/?page_id=4 This is how it looks on the pages: http://www.regionalcreations.com/fotografix/ For some reason the footer is up inside the body. Help? All I did was comment out the sidebar like this: Code: <!-- </div class="art-sidebar1"> <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar1.php'); ?> </div> --> And copy the css for the width and change the name and values: Code: .page-contentLayout .page-content
{
position: relative;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 876px;
}
.page-contentLayout .page-content-wide
{
position: relative;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
width: 875px;
}
So I have the following website: http://www.itmustbecollege.com/ and it has a problem SOMEWHERE that I can't seem to figure out. The problem is that all of my pages now have a big "space" on the far right, forcing a huge horizontal size. I have tried to debug but can't seem to find out the exact problem. It is weird, because certain parts of the website have a "width: 100%" yet ENDS at the correct look, yet there is still that huge space! Hello. I've got a header div that my banner is in, below that, another div called "welcome". The background-color I set on the welcome div is somehow appearing at the very top of the container, right above my banner... I've tried adding a height to it but that just makes it worse.

I'm having a slight problem with the appearance of the border for the DIV below the navigation bar. Firefox runs the border through the entire width of the DIV, but IE stops the bottom border as soon as the last <LI> is reached.. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance. http://www.manliusvillage.org/test/index.html The related CSS is below: Code:
#navigation{
height:2.2em;
line-height:2.2em;

background:#578bb8;
color:#ffffff;
}
#navigation li{
float:left;
list-style-type:none;
border-right:1px solid #ffffff;
border-bottom:1px solid #ffffff;

Hey guys, I was wondering if you can help me out with something. On my blog I couldn't figure out how to get the page to align to the top, so I had to use a negative margin on the header. Well now it's fine in firefox, but looks all botched in IE. What a surprise, right? Can you take a look at help me figure out what I need to fix? www.illuminatedmind.net Thanks! So, I have my CSS, works wonderfully (well, as expected) in FF2. Unfortunately, IE7, Safari 3, and Opera 9 all seem to ignore the whole stylesheet. UNLESS! Any one of the properties in the sheet is declared !important. Then, it applies the entire sheet the way I expect. What gives? The way I understand (understood?) specificity, the !important flag should only effect the specific line it's applied to, not the entire sheet. Right? I'm really confused. The stylesheet is included last, so all else being equal, should cascade properly and override the other sheets. Any ideas? I'm just going to use the !important for now, but I really don't like that. MPEDrummer Hi there! Please have a look here. As you can see there's a scrolling box with a overflow:auto propriety set. All works well either in Firefox and Internet Explorer, but I had to use a hack to made it work with IE: Code:
#content {
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-right: 25px;
padding-left: 25px;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
text-align: justify;
overflow: auto;
width: 543px;
height: 225px;
background-image: url(img/centerblank.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
_background-attachment: fixed;
}
FF doesn't read the _background-attachment so all works fine.. problem is, this way the css code is no w3c compliant. Any ideas? Hey guys, First post here. I've scoured the web for answers, searched this forum, and visited many CSS sites (alistapart, maxdesign.com.au, positioniseverything, htmldog, etc.) and haven't seen a problem like this. I'm learning CSS as we speak (or more correctly, as I type), and here's the issue. I have a space between my #header and #page. I can't get rid of it unless I put a border around the #page. I've posted four screens here so you can see what's going on in Safari and Firefox (the two browsers I use). #1 is what the site looks like now (as the code is below). #2 is with the #header removed, #3 is with the #header removed and a 1px border put around the #page, and #4 is with the #header there and the #page has a 1px border. It seems to me that the #page has a top margin, and I've tried margin-top: 0px; and tons of other combos, but I can't get that space to go away unless I put a border around #page. Here's my css: Code: /* basic elements */
body {
font: 8pt/16pt georgia;
color: #000000;
background: #AEAEAE url(images/butterflybg.gif) no-repeat top center;
}
p {

Hi guys, I'm at the end of my rope about this. I have a three-column layout which is behaving fine in mozilla. IE, as usual, is causing problems. I've given the troublesome column a background color of yellow to emphasize the problem. There's a right padding sort of thing going on that's forcing the right-most column out of its place; might be easier if you just look at it: http://www.teamsnowvalley.com/home.php (still a work in progress. just sayin) the css behind the column: #content .left { float:left; padding-right:9px; background:yellow; width:179px; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit } html>body #content .left { width: 179px; } Can anyone tell what i'm doing wrong? Many thanks, M Hi, I have developed a page using only CSS with html. That means I have two files at the moment, layout.css and default.html. When I test it on my computer it works fine on IE6.0, Firefox, Netscape and Opera. I then decided to give it a go on the live internet. I created an account with geocities and uploaded all the required files. Now, when I loaded the page from IE6.0 the website is broken. Which means it is not displaying as it was when I was loading it from my computer. However Firefox and Opera are loading it fine. For me this is just weird, since if I download the html from the page (right click, view source), save it on my pc, and load it again from my computer (locally), it works fine on IE6.0 again. I know how I could solve this problem, however should I try solving this problem if my page is displaying fine on my computer (on the three browsers) but incorrectly on geocities? Ps: I am only using geocities for testing. Regards, Sim085 hey, i have a page that includes several flash files.. since its a translation company i have made a page in Russian but the upper flash menu refuses to appear in firefox but displays in internet explorer.. other flash files appear.. and i don't know if its related but in order to make the Russian appear correctly i had to save the php page as utf-8 with no BOM... appreciate any help since i am clueless as to this weird problem here is the page address : bit.ly/4SqdNw sorry new in the forums could not link it but copy and pase I changed over all my CSS flyout menus from the CSSPlay method to the whatever:hover method. It's working great. I've just got a minor, but annoying, problem that occurs in IE (6 & 7 tested). URL 1 URL 2 Check out the left-side navigation menus on those two pages. Obviously they're different files, but the code is exactly the same for the menus (except the path for the links, of course). The pages even use the same stylesheet. So why, then, does the menu flutter when you hover over the "Our Dogs" <li> on the base level menu, but not move a pixel on the /dogs/ level menu? Here's the path to the stylesheet: Stylesheet 1 Hello, First off, if you know of a way to make round cornered boxes (that stretch hor and vert) in css using less than 6 divs, please be my guest. Now the problem I'm having is IE specific, when i load up the IE DOM inspector, i see that all the divs before the bottomleft div have a height that too big. i don't know what this could be from because i never set a height attribute for any of the divs. http://72.29.74.19/~majdkgf/tangerine/ NOTE: this doesn't happen to the last box Hello all, just when I thought IE6 and all its quirks was behind us I am faced with a very strange issue that can only be replicated in one version of IE8 that a client has... You'll find attached a layout with header, middle content area that stretches to fill remaining space (and has a background image that uses JQuery bgstretcher to fill its background with an image), and a footer that just stays at the bottom in IE7, IE8 and FF. Problem is, that in a client's PC with Explorer 8 that same footer is not a small stripe but it goes way up into the content area and takes up 1/3 of the screen space at the bottom. I can't replicate this in any of my IE7s or IE8s I looked around and I'm going mad. Is there something in the CSS that I could maybe take out or change or does someone know of any IE8 bug? Thanks. All html + css is here (208K pls remove gaps to get link): www . sendspace . com / file / ool8zx Hi fowks, Normally I'm able to solve CSS issues relatively easily, well with some experimentation at least. However, this one has really got me stumped. Basically, I'm developing a menu for a weblication which is based on the famous Suckerfish menus. Everything works ok in IE and Mozilla when in an Left-to-Right (LTR) environment, but it doesn't work quite so well when the direction is flipped to RTL. IE copes fine, but FF doesn't. The menu works itself, but the viewport doubles in size and scrolls off to the right, even though there are no elements there. Anyone got an idea as to what could be doing this? I've included the relevant files for you to trial. Thanks for having a look. Hope you can help. It's driving me nuts. Cheers, John I am working on a site in CSS (first time! Yay!) I am having one problem: there is a sidebar, and I have used spacer images to make the coloring go to the very bottom of the page (the links stop above that). HOWEVER: this is for my screen size, and I am worried that when people view it with a different screen/window size, they will have scroll bars, even though there is no content at the bottom. Is there any attribute that will make it just go right to the bottom? Thanx. |
