CSS - Desperate Issue With Css And Ie Vs Firefox,

Hi

I'm developing a new site and have only just started with CSS. The site uses an external style sheet. I have only developed one page so far which looks fine in IE 6/7 but (some) content appears to 'drop/change position' slightly in Firefox (note the bottom navigation and contact info on the page footer in particular). I needed to add an extra div tag for the hyperlink style - could this be the cause? Also the search button and the form text area seems to change position when viewed in Firefox?

Not sure what is going on! Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Again, IE displays fine but firefox the bottom getting_started div is all wierd.


Code:

<div id="container">

	<div id="inner">



	<?php include('header.php'); ?>

			

		

		

	<div id="index_login">

	<p style="text-align: left"><b><font size="4">Login!

</font></b></p>

	<p style="text-align: left">&nbsp;</p>

	<form method="POST" action="">

		<p style="text-align: left">Email: </p>

		<p style="text-align: left"><input type="text" name="email" size="20" id="index_textbox"></p>

		<p style="text-align: left">&nbsp;</p>

		<p style="text-align: left">Password:</p>

		<p style="text-align: left"><input type="password" name="password" size="20" id="index_textbox"><br>

&nbsp;</p>

		<p style="text-align: left">

		<input type="submit" value="Login" name="do_login" id="index_button"></p>

	</form>

Kay, So I've been trying to open a gaming league, but unfortunately my skills lie in PHP and C++. Not so much html and css. For some reason this site works pretty well in IE, but has what I call micro-tears in the firefox version, I'm really not sure whats wrong with it, can anyone help?

http:// www . vl-league.com / index . html

is the site.

Hi,

Ive got a site im currently working on using html and css. After just putting the navigation bar in ive discovered it lookins perfect in IE and slightly off in firefox:

http://www.lnicholson.co.uk

It looks hows i want it to in IE but in fiefox i notice that there is a bigger gap above the navigation bar and I have no idea how to get rid of it. Its quite annoying as some of my friends use firefox!

Any help would be much appreciated, if you need anymore info let me know.

Thanks

Hello, this is my first post on this forum! I've noticed there's another firefox thread right above mine, I don't mean to spam the forum with firefox issues but I checked that one first and it didn't have the same problem as I'm having.

I'm a novice to CSS, I've only been on it for around 2-3 months for college, and i've encountered a problem I can't find a solution to likely because there could be so many ways for it being wrong.

If anyone can please help me with this problem, i'd appreciate it so much!

I'm just starting to create a template for college, and for some reason I've just noticed it's not working in firefox. I use i.e to develop at school so I haven't noticed it until now, and I can't seem to find a solution.

I've uploaded the template here so it can be seen:

bonkenmoose.com/john

It works fine in internet explorer, but seems to be not working correctly in Firefox.

Any help will be great!

Thanks.

Okay I have this strange CSS issue with Firefox. Sounds like a common problem, but oh it isn't. The issue goes a step further and it is a Firefox mac issue. The top nav works fine in Firefox PC, IE PC, and Safari Mac. But you load it in Firefox Mac and the top right list item drops down. No clue why. Anyone know what the issue is? Does Firefox on a mac render text at a different size and that pushes everything? I'm unable to send specific styles to firefox mac vs. firefox pc, unless I use a server-side script to detect the user agent. But that is not practical at all. If anyone has any feed back let me know.

Oh the link to see this nav is:

http://www.forsalebyowner.com

Would FF be able to interpret this background-image line? The bullets are not showing up on the page and all the references have been checked and verified the image exists and is in the proper directory.

Code:

li.indent{
	background-image: url('getdoc?webc=images/bullet_sm.gif');
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: 0,0;
	margin-left: 10;
	padding-left: 10;
	margin-bottom: 5;
}

Thanks

Hi,
Opened a new post as its better.
I am trying to do things for smaller devices such as mobiles and tablets.
If I add something very simple in the stylecheat to the @media query such as background color of the body using this:
@media screen and (max-device-width: 2000px){
body { width:766px; margin:auto; background-color:#00FF00;}}
Or if I do this wich seem to have the same affect:
@media screen and (max-width: 2000px){body { width:766px; margin:auto; background-color:#00FF00;}}
I dont get the green background on the body, I only get it on my pc, on my samsung mini, on blackberry I dont get the green background and using adobe advice central on samasung tab and ipone 4 and maybe some more I get it, on the rest no background color.
This is so strange, I imagen all have greater width than 2000px.

If I set to max-width to 500 px I dont get it on my samsung mini either...????? it have a very small resolution, only 240 x something.

I just dont get it

I dont have any background color declared except the one in the @media query

Hey all,

I am working on completely redoing our website (FizzPow.com) I have a border-right: on my left column in a wordpress template I am modifying. It looks fine in Chrome, IE9, Safari5, but in FF7, it moves my right column all the way down.

Here's the site:
FizzPow.com/newsite

I am an experienced programmer but fairly novice with HTML/CSS. Please be kind and I very much appreciate your help!

Hello,
here is the code i'm using for my lightbox. it works perfectly in Firefox but in IE it doesn't center and the background is solid black instead of a transparent black with 75% opacity.

any ideas how to fix it?



Code:

   <!-- Lightbox - Begin -->
                <div id="admsg" style="background:black;-moz-opacity:0.75;filter:alpha(opacity=75%);position:absolute;margin:0px;z-index:1000;left:0;top:0;display:none"></div>
                <div id="admsg2" style="width:600px;height:400px;position:absolute;z-index:1001;margin:0 auto;top:90px;left:0; right:0;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border:solid 5px;background:white;text-align:center;display:none;padding:10px">
                <!-- Message & Advertisement Here -->
                <center><img src="/images/roller.gif"></center><br><h3>Please wait while your file is being uploaded...</h3><i>Depending on your connection this may take up to a few minutes.</i><br/><br/><br>
                </div>
                <!-- Lightbox - End -->

and when the submit button is pressed i call a JS function which does the following:

Code:

document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].style.overflow="hidden";
document.getElementById("admsg").style.display="block";
document.getElementById("admsg").style.width = screen.width;
document.getElementById("admsg").style.height = screen.height;
document.getElementById("admsg").style.width = document.body.scrollWidth;
document.getElementById("admsg").style.height = document.body.scrollHeight;
document.getElementById("admsg2").style.display="block";

Please look at this page -
http://www.eagletransmission.net/testimonials.asp

In IE7 I have the main navigation alignment as I want it to be. BUt in Firefox the links do not align correctly. For example please look at the link for Affiliates. In Firefox it is pushed to the right instead of centered where it should be.

Thanks.

Hello everyone! A pre-emptive thank you to anyone and everyone who reads and responds to my questions! I'm new to CSS, being more of a designer and far, far less of a coder, so forgive any potential glaring errors I may be making. I'm having to learn all this stuff as I go along, with little to no guidance, so any advice you guys might have as far as repairing my lackluster coding will be taken with shy graciousness.

I'm attempting to put together a basic template for a website I am trying to build, to use in conjunction with concrete5, an open-source CMS. I've managed to make it look and operate correctly in IE and Chrome, but in FireFox the navbar on the bottom does not align itself correctly. It jumps several hundred pixels down the page and jolts sharply to the left.

I've managed to make use of the @-moz tag to get it to accept FireFox-specific behavior. However, I cannot get it to maintain absolute positioning, despite assigning it that attribute. Rescaling the window or zooming in and out in a browser causes it to slide around willy-nilly, even if I reposition it specifically in the CSS.

As a note, I had a lot of trouble getting other elements to properly center in the process of making the whole template, but I'm not sure what was causing that, either. I've not been able to get things to center themselves properly or respond correctly to instructions; I'm basically running in the dark, here.

The code is below. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

Code:

<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
$this->inc('elements/header.php');
?>

<body>
<div id="container">

I've been working with this issue for the better part of the day, and I think whatever the issue is, is one I'm not seeing because I've been doing just that. So I'm hoping to get a little guidance from those of you who're far superior to me in the world of CSS.

On this site ianrobinett.com/designwork/SAMPO/Sitev1/ I've been working on, in Mozilla, the fullwidth div I put below my other divs (in the main body content area), is appearing off to the right of the Twitter widget. In Chrome and IE, funny enough, it's right, and it's Mozilla having the fit.

I honestly figure this is something small, and something I'm just missing because I've been looking at the code all day.

Never mind. Thx.
