CSS - Nested Overflow Setting For Great Scrolling Justice

Hi,

Here's my demo site: http://www.alpha-dreams.com/demo5/

Why is IE 7 off? I've looked everywhere. Do I need a stylesheet for IE 7?

Thanks

Haven't checked on IE for Windows, but here are my issues on the mac:

my list items Elixir Volume 1, 2, etc are not left-aligned in IE and I cannot figure out why! my arrow list image is not showing up in IE the signup form fields are not formatted properly in IE. they look fine in Firefox though.

the source code:

Code:

<td valign="top" align="left" width="230">

text-align: left;
}

.hometext li {
padding:0 0 5px 0;
clear:both;
text-align: left;
width: 230;
]

Alrighty, my friend made this menu: phreakyourgeek.com/tf2/original which looks great in Firefox/Opera. However, Internet Explorer absolutely rapes it and it comes out all whacked up. He gave me the task of redesigning it for IE.

I am not a CSS whiz, but I made it this far: phreakyourgeek.com/tf2 which needs some help.

-Background does not move when hovered over.
-The menu is aligned along the left side, they need to align along the right

CSS for my menu is embedded in the source, CSS for original is in phreakyourgeek.com/tf2/original/stylesheet.css

Please help me make any adjustments to either of them; there must be a way to make the first IE compatible. Thank you for your time.

EDIT: I was informed upon posting that links were not allowed for new posts; I have removed the "www." preventing such restriction. I disagree with your rule; my links are legit and without them my visit would be useless.

I'm pretty green with CSS (okay, ALL of html )

I used a template from Mollio.org, then modified it, problem is things just dont look right in IE.

url:
http://www.m87-blackhole.org/foo/

css file:
http://www.m87-blackhole.org/foo/css/wushuwest.css

js
http://www.m87-blackhole.org/foo/js/common.js

The biggest problem is the handling of png+transperancy, I added a fix for it in common.js but it doesnt seem to work very well. Also, the head image, in firefox it has a width of 800, which is what I want, but in IE it spans the entire page, how can I fix that?

Any ideas, pointers or resources?

Thanks,
Mike

EDIT: solved, can be closed

Please look at the menu on this page,

In IE7 it looks perfect, in FF it looks terrible???

I figured it out, I think.

It would seem I am always "taking" from this sites and never giving much back, but not today. I had posted a message a few days ago which generated a reply with a link to this site - http://www.sitepoint.com. While I was there, I requested a sample download of some chapters of a book. It was in the book "Html without tables" or something like that they pointed me to this sample site - www.footbagfreaks.com What an awesome way to learn css layout. I checked it in both IE and NS and it was pefect. There are three .html files and one style sheet. I know I will be studying this code if only to get the basics down. I hope this works for you.

Check out this site (WIP)... the issue specifically is with the Screenshots table...

Firefox displays exactly like I would expect it to, screenshots contained within a div, with overflow: auto... looks great in firefox, nicely aligned, no vert. scrollbar... perfect.

Now look at it in IE... looks like it is automatically expanding to include ALL 10 screenshots, which stretches the whole page...

I've done a little research on this, but I can't find a way to get IE to behave... tried word-wrap: break word (as suggested on another site), but this fails as I'm using images.

What makes IE decide to expand the <div> tag automatically.

Here's the code pertaining just to the screenshots section.

Any help or advice you might give me would be appreciated, I've spent a long time developing the site in css and have only opted to use tables for this particular page... thanks!

the CSS:
---------------------------------------------------------
.screenshots_table {
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid #000;
backgroung-color: #061840;
line-height: 15px;
}

#screenshots_table_overflow {
overflow: auto;
padding: 0px;
display: block;
}
---------------------------------------------------------

the html:
---------------------------------------------------------
/* --- START SCREENSHOTS CONTAINER --- */
// establish the number of screens in the directory
$dir_path = "Game Archive/" . $platform_name . "/". $title . "/Screen Captures/";
$screen_count = count (glob ($dir_path . "screen*.jpg"));

echo"<td colspan='5'>";
echo"<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>";
echo"<tr>";
/* start screenshots details tab */
echo"<td>";
echo"<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>";
echo"<tr>";
echo"<td><img border='0' width='38px' class='display_block'";
echo"src='images/tab_left.jpg'></td>";
echo"<td width='100%' background='images/tab_bg.jpg'></td>";
echo"<td><img border='0' class='display_block' width='70px'";
echo"src='images/tab_screenshots.jpg'></td>";
echo"</tr>";
echo"</table>";
echo"</td>";
/* end screenshots tab */
echo"</tr><tr>";

/* start screenshots */
echo"<td>";
echo"<div id='screenshots_table_overflow'>";
echo"<table width='100%' border='0' class='screenshots_table'";
echo" cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>";
echo"<tr>";

// iterate through loop and display linked screenshots as req'd
for ($i = 1; $i < $screen_count + 1; $i++) {
echo"<td cellspacing='1' valign='top' bgcolor='#04112d'>";
echo "<a href='Game Archive/" . $platform_name . "/" .
$title . "/Screen Captures/screen" . $i . ".jpg' rel='lightbox'
class='horizontal'><img border='0' class='border'
src='Game Archive/" . $platform_name . "/" .
$title . "/Screen Captures/small" . $i . ".jpg' /></a>";
echo"</td>";
}

echo"</tr>";
echo"</table>";
echo"</div>";
echo"</td>";
/* end screenshots */
echo"</tr></table>";
echo"</td>";
/* --- END SCREENSHOTS CONTAINER --- */
---------------------------------------------------------

Essentially it lines up correctly but when I view it in firefox it doesn't. How should I tweak my code to make this work?

Here is the url:

http://www.westcadet.com/designs/index.htm

Here is the CSS code snippet that is making this all work

Code:

/*--------------- Navigation Layout Begin ---------------*/
#HeaderTopLeftInnerRight {
	width:618px;
	height:100px;
	vertical-align:top;
}

#NavMenu {
	width:600px;
	padding-top:22px;
	
}

#NavMenu ul {
	list-style: none;
	margin-left:22px;
}

#NavMenu li {
	float: left;
	padding-left:8px;
	padding-right:8px;
}

#NavMenu li a {
	color:#FFFFFF;
	text-decoration: none;
}

#NavMenu li a:hover {
	color:#EB2A2D;
}

.NavChosen {
	background-color: #858181;
	color:#FFFFFF;
}

I'm beating my head against the wall on this one and could use some expert help. In full disclosure, I am using a css template site I found on a open source template site. The site renders fine in Firefox and Opera, but is problematic with some pages.


Here is one of the pages I am having trouble with in IE:

http://worldwidemediaproject.com/tvrating.php

You'll notice that in IE it appears like there are a bunch of <br>'s after the TV Stations header. This does not appear in either Firefox or Opera.

The strange thing is this one appears fine in IE:

http://worldwidemediaproject.com/tvrating.php?id=71&language=all&genre=all

but this one doesn't:

http://worldwidemediaproject.com/tvrating.php?id=216&language=all&genre=all

The only real difference is that the table size is larger in the pages that have display problems.

Is there some kind of IE hack that I need to apply?


Many thanks....

Yesterday I was able to get my page to validate with strict XHTML and get it looking exactly how I want it to in Firefox:

http://www . restonheights . com/

However, the design falls apart a bit in IE6. Viewing in it IE6 causes the feedback div to grow causing a left-right scroll bar. Scary things also happen if you reduce the width of your browser. Again, it behaves perfectly in FF.

Can anyone recommend an IE hack that would get that feedback div to behave?

Hi folks. I'm new to this forum, but I'm not new to CSS. I've inherited a little problem that was left behind by my client's original developer. Here is the code the makes up the header on my page:

Code:

<body>
	<div id="issingle">
	<div id="container">
		<div id="sitename">
			<a href="http://www.nectardesign.com"><img src="http://www.nectardesign.com/blog/wp-content/themes/default/nectar-product-development.gif" border="0" alt="Nectar Product Development"/></a>
		</div>
	<div id="mainmenu">
		<ul>
			<!--<li class=""><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/blog">Home</a></li>-->

			<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/about/">about</a></li>
			<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/service/">service</a></li>
			<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/category/all-products">portfolio</a></li>
			<li class="page_item current_page_item"><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/blog/">blog</a></li>
			<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/blog/category/news/">news</a></li>
			<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/career/">career</a></li>

			<li class="page_item no_bar"><a href="http://www.nectardesign.com/contact/">contact</a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>

And here is the css pertaining to that code:
Code:

body {
	background:#fff;
	color:#303030;
	font: normal 12px /*Verdana,Tahoma,*/Arial, sans-serif;
	margin:0 auto;
	padding:0;
	text-align:center;
	width:850px;
}
#container {
	position: relative;
	background:url('http://www.nectardesign.com/images/headerbg.jpg') top center repeat-x;
	color:#303030;
	border:1px solid #C8C8C8;
	margin:10px;
/*	padding:10px;*/
	text-align:left;
	height:598px;

}
html>body #container {height: 1%; min-height: 598px;}
#mainmenu {
	position: absolute;
	right: 10px;
	top: 27px;
	margin-right: 5px;
}

#mainmenu li.page_item {
	float:left;
/*	height:35px;*/
	list-style:none;
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
}

#mainmenu a {
	border-right:1px solid #b0b0b0;
	color:#808080;
	display:block;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 1px 8px;
	text-transform:lowercase;
}

Basically, this page's header looks correct in Firefox and Safari, but terrible in IE 5.x (Mac). Not only do the horizontal links (About, Service, Portfolio...) not show up correctly--they're actually on the left sidebar--but the repeating image doesn't repeat like it should. It doesn't even show up at all.

Since I'm new, please don't hesitate to let me know if I'm forgetting to include any other important info.

Thank you!!

Hi!
I am making an online store for a very important client of mine. I build a shopping sub-list which floats to the left of the main page... and it looks BEAUTIFUL in Safari. But the images are not displaying correctly in Firefox.

I was hoping somebody could help me. Also, could somebody tell me how it looks on IE? I have a mac, and my client is probably using IE... so I can't see how it looks


Anyway, the site is.... blocked



and the CSS

#shoppinglist1 li {
float:right;
list-style: none;
display:block; }

#shoppinglist1 a{
width:100px;
height:20px;
text-decoration:none;
background-image:url(images/shoppingmenu-bgsmall.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: center center; }

#shoppinglist1 a:hover {
width:100px;
height:20px;
text-decoration:none;
background-image: url(images/shoppingmenu-hover.gif);
background-position: center center;
}

#shoppinglist1 a:active {
width:100px;
height:20px;
text-decoration:none;
background-image: url(images/shoppingmenu-active.gif);
background-position: center center;
}

and the HTML

<div id="shoppinglist">
<img src="images/shoppingmenu_top.gif" style="margin: -15px auto;"/>
<ul id="shoppinglist1">
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/shoppingmenu_03.gif" align="center" border="0"/></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/shoppingmenu_04.gif" align="center" border="0"/></a></li>
