CSS - Float Left Image Clear Problem, Esp Ie Mac
Hello,
I'm trying to float an image inside a content div that is inside a wrapper div that already has a float left (nav) div earlier in the html. I know that this means that the floated image div will not be cleared until after the already floating nav div, since this is the one that comes earlier in the html and is quite large. It leaves a large gap until it clears the nav div. I have tried a couple of things, here is the page I'm working on and this is the css file This hasn't been tested on Windows, so I have no idea how it looks. It has been tested on the Mac: Safari, Opera, Netscape and Firefox display as described above, but IE Mac is way off whack. The current setup of the page is this: HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="breadcrumb"><a href="http://www.huntacular.com/">Homepage</a></div> <div class="image1"> <img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="red">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.</p> </div> <div class="image2"> <img class="right" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="orange">Donec accumsan. Pellentesque ac est vitae sapien scelerisque auctor. Nunc pede diam, interdum vel, dictum ut, egestas eget, metus. Maecenas eget sapien.</p> </div> <div class="another3"> <img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="blue">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Sed vulputate. Nulla ac leo sollicitudin mauris fringilla consectetuer.</p> </div> CSS: Code: img.left {
float: left;
border: solid 1px black;
padding: 10px;
margin-right:10px;
margin: bottom: 10px;
}
img.right {
float: right;
border: solid 1px black;
padding: 10px;
margin-left:10px;
}
.image1 {
border: red 1px solid;
padding : 0px;
}
.image2 {
border: orange 1px solid;
padding : 0px;
}
.image3 {
border: blue 1px solid;
padding : 0px;
}
/* Trying to sort the float problem - this sends IE Mac nuts, not checked on IE Win */
.another:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
font-size: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
.another {display: inline-table;}
/* Hides from IE5/Mac \*/
* html .another {height: 1px;}
.another {display: block;}
/* End hide from IE5/Mac */
/* .clearer {
clear: both;
} */
p.red {
color: red;
}
p.orange {
color: orange;
}
p.blue {
color: blue;
}
Is there a work around? I thought I'd found one in the third attempt - the one with blue text, but I'm not sure if I've implemented it correctly. Also, IE Mac isn't doing any of these correctly either (well, nearly the second one, but I haven't tested this stuff on Windows either. Is there a solution? Similar TutorialsOK, 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; }
Hi, Im not sure whats going wrong with this, but I have two DIV elements on the page: 1st div "googleMap" CSS for googleMap: #googleMap { height: 300px; width: 500px; float: left; } 2nd div "page_right" CSS for page_right: #page_right { width: 300px; clear: left; float: right; } Could someone please tell me why page_right DIV is not clearing the googleMap div? I've just about had enough so hope some kind person will no the answer!! Here is the live page (showing the flaw): belvoir-mortgages.co.uk/contact.php Thanks Lee I have some simple code that works in all recent browsers, including IE8+. But with some people out there still using IE7, for which it does something odd, and I've been asked to make it work with that as well. I've dumbed it down to it's basics, and it's just easiest to see with a visual. http://www.poweredpages.com/test.php I have four boxes, labeled 1 through 4. It's supposed to wrap at 3, with 4 to the right of that box. In IE7, It wraps at 3 (correctly, because of the clear), but then box 4, which has a float:left after the cleared 3 box, jumps back up to the 1 and 2 row. Any thoughts on how do get this working with the least amount of editing would be appreciated. In real life, I have the left boxes as a class "label" and the right boxes as another class "input", so if I could just add something to one of these classes and be done w/ it, that would be great. Of course, I could put another entire DIV around each row to fix this, but that would require altering a whole bunch of code. Thanks!

...I am having a problem with images, they display correctly in mozilla firefox (i.e above the text) but incorrectly in internet explorer. I think it may be due to the float and/or clear functions or maybe the z-index function. here is the htm file... http://www.ajc.kwmaher.com/teebs/...and here is the css file http://www.ajc.kwmaher.com/teebs/style.css . Help appreciated. Teeb(s) Hi gyus! I am trying to recode an form we use, which is based on table layout, to use CSS layout instead, using the label element. The old layout had one input per row with a description text next to the input. After coming up with a successful CSS layout in Safari/Firefox/Opera I tried the page in IE and the layout failed. All my inputs are floated to the left (at the top, stacked after each other), but the labels are rendered correctly (one label per line) It seems like the label elements doesn't seem to clear the float (so that the label and inputs are aligned) I broke the code down to the following example: (sorry guys, I don't have the possibility to put it on an publicly accessible server) Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" []> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Testing</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css"/> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8;"/> </head> <body> <form name="service" action="label2.html" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" accept-charset="UTF-8"> <div> <label for="audio_level">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level1">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level1" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level2">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level2" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level3">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level3" value="0"/> </div> </form> </body> </html> And the CSS: Code:
body {
width:800px;
}
label {
display:block;
float:left;
clear:left;
width:100px;
text-align:left;
}
input {
display:block;
float:left;
width:100px;
}
Applying a <br> element with clear:left after each input seems to fix it, but I is adding extra markup really necessary? I can't figure out what I am missing to get the one label/input per "line" Hi all, I've spent several hours to solve this problem, but found nothing working . The problem (well, there are much more problems ) is that I use 2-cols layout, so the left column (menu) is floating left. And now I need in the one page's head to get 2 images, one aligned to the left, the other to the right and actual text of the headings. I've found 2 good solution: 1) Classic, use float:left on one image, float:right on the other, and text-align: center on the headings. First thing I don't understand, why the image on the right is moved down? You can see it here. Then, the clear property should be used to force the headings to end bottom the images, but clear can't be used, because it also clears the menu (floating to the left) so the headings ends bottom the menu. 2) Using absolute/relative positioning - headigns can be made relatively positioned, images absolutely, one with left:0 and the other with right:0, but then the contents following after the headings is moved to the top, mixed with the heading. Similar problem is being solved in this thread, but I didn't found there anything working . Can anybody help, please? Here are used CSS: Web.css, Fotogalerie.css. 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? The site is he http://andamu.org/main/yarn/ or "andamu.org /main /yarn" The appearance of the date, byline, comments/trackbacks and tags on the left, aligned beneath one another in IE 8 is the desired appearance. In Firefox, the date appears in the correct spot, but the rest appears to its right instead of below it. (I am modifying the Pico theme in MT5.) I'll try to get the relevant bits here, but please ask if I can provide more detail. The html part: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <h2 class="date-header">September 6, 2010</h2> <div class="asset-footer"> <p class="asset-footer-info"> <span class="byline"> <span class="vcard author">Sivani</span> at <abbr class="published" title="2010-09-06T18:47:04-08:00"> 6:47 PM</abbr> </span> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#comments"> No Comments</a> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#trackbacks"> No TrackBacks</a> </p> </div> <!-- class="asset-footer" -->

I've set the table cell to valign=middle and this achieves the layout I want (hopefully this demonstration will look right..) Code: PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE The text goes here PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE So the text and the picture are laid out along the middle of the cell. However as soon as the text gets too big for the cell (or the cell gets smaller) this happens: Code: PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE The text goes here, but when it's longer PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE the remainder comes here I knew this to be because the img is still an inline element in the cell. I tried to solve the problem by making the img float:left, but the following happens, even if the valign=middle property is set in the cell: Code: PICTUREHERE The text goes here, but when it's longer PICTUREHERE the remainder comes here PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE PICTUREHERE Is it possible to achieve the top layout. If it is can someone help me please (it's probably staring me in the face) Thank you in advance Andy Hi, Small problem he http://www.salewhale.com/z.html The box with the "What would you like to do?" is as follows: Code: <div class="boxarea"> <div class="boxarea_left"><b>What would you like to do?</b></div> <div class="boxarea_right"><a href='3_changepass.php'>Change Password</a></div> </div> The CSS for this is: Code: .boxarea {
border: 1px solid #0000FF;
background-color: #F5F5F5;
padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
}
.boxarea_left {
width: 140px;
float: left;
}
.boxarea_right {
width: 300px;
}
The point is to have the left column (boxarea_left) as 140px, so that the text wraps to the next line. Does anyone have any idea why the border box doesn't really take account of the new line? It simply ignores the divs and has a basic one line height. Of course, if I put a spacer within the boxarea div, the problem will be solved - but this leaves a gap at the bottom of the box - which I dont want. Is there a simpe fix? Thanks very much! Hi There - Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about. Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow. Code: <div id="top part" logo and searchbox </div> <div> that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links </div> <div id=navcontainer> dropdown and tabbed menu </div> <div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css --> <div id="primary" class="clear-block"> contains barmenu - very fussy </div> </div> Here's the relevant CSS: Code:

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.

This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float {
float: left;

This page works fine in Firefox, but in IE, the float makes the content move off the page to the left. I figured out that without a background-color applied to the .textBox style (which is the DIV that contains the text and image I am floating) it works. However, I really would like the .textBox to have a background color. Anybody knows what to do? Here is the page: http://www.jbbdesign.com/wip/index4.html many thanks, Julia In this header www.johnschureman.com I have an image, an h1 and a subtitle div. Code: <div id="header">

Hope this is enough info. I've been playing with clear, position, etc. Help? Thanks in advance. - Willi Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I can't figure out how to clear the float for the columns with the text column 1 and 2. If the other columns dont have a lot of text then the footer defaults to just under the image so where that 1+2 start. Any ideas plase? Code: <div id="container">
<div id="home_col_1">
<img src="images/holder_slideshow.png" alt="" width="446" height="365" />
<div id="home_col_1_1">
column 1<br />
column 1<br />
column 1<br />
column 1<br />
column 1
</div>
<div id="home_col_1_2">
<p> column 2</p>
<p>column 2</p>
<p>column 2</p>

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 My skills are a little suspect when it comes to properly using the clear and float elements in CSS and I have searched around for a good tutorial showing when and when-not to use the elements, but have not found anything that will suffice. Anyone have any pointers or tutorials that you think might be worth checking out? TIA. |
