CSS - Layer Overflow Cut Out Of View And Re-aligned Left
Hello folks,
I've made a page where the user can change the style sheets by simply enabling/disabling them with a javascript. The page also contains 4 layers which are stacked on top of one another. I've came up against a problem that has me stumped! Basically if the user switches style sheets to a sheet that contains a smaller font-size, the currently visible Layer changes size which causes some of the text in the layer to be cut out of view. It also re-aligns the DIV contents to the left of the DIV instead of centered as it is set. I have tried playing around with overflow:visible and giving the layer a width to accomodate all text sizes, but I couldn't get it to work. Any ideas how I could get it to work? The only other idea I had was to reload the page but that isn't very elegant is it?! Any CSS experts know how it should be done? Best regards. Similar TutorialsI've been trying to tweak the styling on hxxp://beecycle-co-uk.domain-ref.http.xenon.lon.periodicnetwork.com/Products.aspx?category=2&product=8 for a while now, and for some reason that page's #wrappper is aligned left, not center. I've picked through each element but I can't see any reason for it to do that. Am I missing something? hi, i'm wondering whether anyone here knows something that i don't about this... here's some code: Code: <div style="position:absolute; left:30px; top:90px; width:380px; height:80px; border: 3px double #000000; padding:10px; padding-top:5px; line-height:150%"> <table width="380" height="80" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td valign="middle"> <div align="center" style="width:380px;"> <span style="font-size:11px; text-align:left;"> aligned to the left.<BR> but is it centered?<BR> i think not.<BR> </span> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> i'm able to achieve vertically centered text in the table cell, and i can center it or align it to the left, but so far in my experimenting i haven't found a way to have text that is aligned to the left, centered in the div. i could always just add a bunch of padding-left on the div so that the text is pushed over and looks nicer although it is not centered, but i'm wondering whether there's a way to do it the way i originally planned to.. thanks very much for looking at this. http://balmarketing.com/new/ I think actually the trouble lies in my content layer not centering itself correctly and its being pushed to the right by the nav layer. It looks semi what I want it to look like in FF but not in IE. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? I'm helping these fine folks fix a few little issues with their site but this one I can't seem to quite figure out. If you roll over the main menu you will see the sub menu slide down on the left. For the life of me I can't get it to line up under the main nav. I've tried many, many things. Can anyone provide a few hints, tips, suggestions?

Absolutely positioned (AP) elements must be given a top and side value, either right or left. (As a default, if no top value is given, the AP element will begin directly after the last element in the source order of the page. This means, if the sidebars are first element in the #container in the document's source order, they will appear at the top of the #container even without being given a top value. However, if they are moved later in the source order for any reason, they'll need a top value to appear where you desire. 2. Absolutely positioned (AP) elements are taken out of the flow of the document. This means the elements around them don't know they exist and don't account for them when taking up their proper space on the page. Thus, an AP div should only be used as a side column if you are sure the middle #mainContent div will always contain the most content. If either sidebar were to contain more content, that sidebar would run over the bottom of the parent div, and in this case the footer as well, and the sidebar would not appear to be contained. 3. If the above mentioned requirements are met, absolutely positioned sidebars can be an easy way to control the source order of the document. 4. If the source order is changed, the top value should be equal to the height of the header since this will cause the columns to visually meet the header. */ .thrColAbsHdr #header { height: 60px; /* if you're changing the source order of the columns, you'll may want to use a height on the header so that you can give the columns a predictable top value */ background: #DDDDDD; padding: 0 10px 0 20px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it.

Because of this, I turned off overflow on the body tag and on the html tag (overflow: hidden;). I didn't want to have 2 scroll bars on the right side of the window. When I first tested this on 4 browsers, IE, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera, it worked great, only having one scroll bar on the right side of the window when the page was longer than the window height. But when I moved to a new host server recently, I discovered that Netscape and Opera stopped working. They now simply give me blank screens. When I remove the "overflow: hidden;" specifications from the body tag and the HTML tag in my CSS file, Netscape and Opera once again display my web pages. However, now I get 2 scrollbars on the right side of all 4 browsers (in IE, the second scrollbar isn't actually there, but the space holder for the scrollbar is there). Is there a cross browser way for doing what I'm trying to do? Or am I faced with detecting the browser type on the server-side, and setting the style sheet appropriately? Here are the related parts of my CSS: /* CSS styles */ BODY { font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; font-size : 10pt; background : Black; color : White; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-width: 0; overflow: hidden; } HTML { overflow: hidden; } #LeftNavDIV { position:relative; width:185px; height:100%; float:left; padding:2px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:1px solid white; overflow:auto; } #ContentDIV { position:relative; height:100%; width:75%; float:right; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; border:0px dashed #336699; overflow:auto; } Hello I thought I could make it, but what I got so far is jumping over the screen, so please a need some help. I got a image with two transparant shapes.

Image 3 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible. Now the issue, image 2 and 3 should be dynamically replaceable. Please help Thanks Hello, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left. See here see how it got below ? It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks. I've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? OK, so I have this nice clean form that I wanted to style up like the table-forms of old. I did it by floating the labels and form elements left, then clearing the labels left so they use their own lines. This works beautifully in Firefox and Safari, but IE (Win, at least) seems to think everything not cleared left should go on the same line! Is this a known IE bug/discrepancy? If so, is there a way to combat it without introducing meaningless elements to the markup (such as encasing each label/element pair in a div)? Here's some example HTML: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> @import url("style.css"); </style> </head> <body> <form name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /> <label for="thoughts">Your Thoughts:</label> <textarea name="thoughts"></textarea> <label for="fun">Having fun?</label> <input type="checkbox" name="fun" value="yes" /> </form> </body> </html>
And the CSS: css Code: Original - css Code label { display: block; float: left; clear: left; width: 8em; margin-right: .5em; text-align: right; } input, textarea { display: block; float: left; }
I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck. I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail. You can see the page he http://yourthreshold.com/playground/ It seems to clear in Firefox but not in IE .. The main CSS: Code: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#e5e5e5; } #wrapper { width: 640px; height: 720px; margin-left:0; margin-top:0; border: 2px solid gray; border-bottom: 0px solid gray; background-image:url(../images/banner.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-color:#c0c0c0; float:left; } #navigation { width: 640px; height: 22px; background-color:#c9c9c9; margin-top: 88px; } #insidewrapper { height:auto; width:99%; margin: 6px 1px 4px 1px; } /* Begin Left Side Info Boxes */ #sidebar { width:150px; height:600px; margin-left:2px; float:left; border:1px solid #666666; border-bottom:0px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; color:#666666; background-color:#ffffff; } .infobox { height:123px; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; padding:3px; border-top:0px; border-left:0px; border-right:0px; } .infopic { margin-top:9px; } .infobutton { height:20px; border-bottom:1px solid #666666; padding-left:3px; } /* Begin Main Content */ #maincontent { width:465px; height:593px; margin-left:158px; border:1px solid; border-color:#666666; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#333333; padding:3px; background-image:url(../images/background_trans2.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center; background-color:#ffffff; } /* Main Content for pages with textual content */ #content { width:97%; height:auto; padding:5px; } /* Main Content for pages with products */ #productWrapper { height:auto; width:100%; margin-top:10px; } #productLeft { height:auto; width:115px; float:left; } #productMiddle { height:auto; width:200px; margin-left:1px; float:left; } #productRight { height:auto; width:auto; } /* Begin Footer */ #footerlinks, #footer { width:640px; height:auto; text-align:center; float:left; } #footerlinks { border-right: 2px solid gray; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; border-left: 2px solid gray; background-color:#c0c0c0; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; letter-spacing:1px; color:#555555; padding-bottom:4px; } #footer { margin-left:0; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:15px; padding-top:8px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 2px solid gray; border-bottom: 2px solid gray; border-left: 2px solid gray; font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; color:#555555; background-color:#a9a9a9; } /* Begin Rightside Column */ #right { border: 1px solid orange; width:195px; margin-left:650px; padding-top:111px; } Hi all, Not sure if I'm aligning the container of this page properly: http://ntcjapan.com/languages/arabic/ The page is right-aligned and displaying correctly on all browsers except I.E. 5.0 On IE 5.0, the container remains on the left of your screen, not on the right. Due to arabic text, etc., the direction of the body is rtl The CSS (note the "container" div at the end, plus its margin): Code: body { height:100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0; background: #FFFFFF url(../../../images/0_bg_body.jpg) no-repeat fixed -5px 100px; } body { font-family: "Simplified Arabic", "Arabic Transparent", "Traditional Arabic", "Arial (Arabic)", "Times New Roman (Arabic)", "AGA Arabesque", "NaskhTT", "Akhbar MT", "Courir New (Arabic)", "Decotype Naskh", "Mudir MT", "Simplified Arabic fixed", "Tahoma (Arabic)", "Andalus", "Monotype Koufi", "Decotype Naskh Extension", "Decotype Naskh Special", "Decotype Naskh Swashed", "Decotype Naskh Variants", "Decotype Naskh Thuluth", "Simplified Arabic backslanted", "Traditional Arabic Backslanted", Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height:19px; font-size: 13pt; font-weight:bold; } p { direction:rtl; } div { text-align:right; direction:rtl; } #container { margin: 0 0 0 auto; text-align: left; width: 762px; background: url(../images/0_bg_right.gif) repeat-y fixed top right; min-height: 100%; height: auto; direction: ltr; } I suppose I need an additional style for IE 5.0 and 5.5 - to tell those browsers to align the container to the right. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Hi, i'm working on this search box but I can't get the 3 elements perfectly aligned, the bottom of the elements should be aligned. What I have is: Search: <input> <img> Search is <label>, input is a normal input text box, <img> is used instead of submit. The problem is, that the <img> is about 5px higer than the other two. The Search label and input are middle aligned. Does anyone have a solution for this positioning problem? A link with workarounds would be useful. Thanx. I've had this problem before but figured I'd finally write for suggestions. When tables that are aligned to a certain position of text, say to the right of the text, have style="margin-left: 10px" to avoid running right into the text, in I.E. that margin gets applied to the first line of the text as well. Easier to show: http://wandp.american.edu/community_events.php Notice the indentation in the text in IE that isn't in Firefox. I think what I did as a workaround before is give the table a white left border, or make an extra table column. Would like to avoid either (the border part because I might decide to change the background colo or use this in several apps). Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeremy Hi everybody, I'm sure there is a very simple solution to this layout problem but I haven't been able to fix it. My design displays perfectly in Firefox but is out of place by 40px in IE. URL The CSS in question is certainly this div: Code: #sub-content ul li a { ... margin-left: -40px; position: relative; } I've tried various IE hacks, such as the ones mentioned on Centricle, e.g: Code: div>#sub-content ul li a { margin-left:0px; } But to no avail. Would a CSS guru mind helping me out? http://206.169.23.2/index3.htm http://206.169.23.2/style3.css The borders are not aligning correctly.

Thanks, Jeremy Hi, I have this page: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>New Page 1</title> <style type="text/css"> * { padding: 0; margin: 0; } p {padding: 0; margin: 0; } html {padding:0; margin:0;} .leftDiv { height: 100px; width: 30px; background-color: teal; float: left; } .mainDiv { padding: 5px 0 10px 0px; width: 200px; height: 20px; background-color: blue; } .mainPara { padding-left: 5px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="contentDiv" style="width: 700px; height: 700px;"> <div class="leftDiv"> </div> <div class="mainDiv"> <p class="mainPara"> First Para </p> </div> <div class="mainDiv"> <p class="mainPara"> Second Para </p> </div> </div> </body> </html> And have two questions. First, why the gap between the left div and mainDiv in IE? I thought 3px bug was only for block elements with no dimensions? Second, why does padding left not take effect in FF untill I have overcome the width of the float? Even padding-left in the para does not take effect, which should be based off of its parent. Any help is appriciated, CJB |
