CSS - Div Tag Settings Not Working In Ie6
I've got an image placed inside a div tag where the div is set to a height and width of 100%. The div has a "fixed" position with a "left" value set to "-36px", which ensure's it shows up exactly where I want it to. Everything that I setup in the style sheet works fine with Firefox 1.5x; the problem - big surprise - is that it doesn't work at all in IE6.
Basically what's happening in IE is that the scroll bars are still showing up (which I don't want to happen) and it doesn't appear to be recognising the negative-positioning either. I'm just now learning to use div tags so there's probably some trick I haven't figured out yet. Here's the code I'm using. Code: <style type="text/css"> <!-- body, html { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: #566f5f; background-image: url(images/bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; text-align: center; } #myTable { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: fixed; left: -36px; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="myTable"><img src="images/picture.jpg" width="1071" height="738" border="0" usemap="#Map" /> <map name="Map" id="Map"> <area shape="poly" coords="812,437,828,463,1038,409,1018,390" href="mailto:info@email_address.com" alt="Contact Us" /> </map></div> As I mentioned, it works great in FF but not in IE. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be a massive help Thanks! Similar TutorialsHello all! Is there a way to set a resolution % for a certain type of resolution size and any above that resolution to another specific % For example I want it to be: 1024x 768 : width : 90%; and anything higher than 1024x 768 to be 80% since 90% on a resolution higher than 1024 for my navigation is just too make of a banner. Please help/advice. Regards, Kingofqueens. Hello Again, My new site design for www.everything.ie is finally coming together mostly due to the great help I've been getting here. The next little problem I need help with is this. Have a look here first: http://www.grahamvard.com/everything.html Look at the headings for the catagories (grey background with red writing). I'm trying to replicate them on my test site but can't quite get it right. Look here to see my attempts: http://www.eveythingfree.buildtolea...fieds/index.php It's basically alright but I want to make the grey headings boxes bigger so they occupy almost the full width of the 3 columns just like in the example page. Because this part of the page is controled by a php script which generates the text and layout, the only thing I can alter is the style sheet in this case the heading font, .cfmaincat Here's the piece of the .css that controls the heading: Code: .cfmaincat { FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #cc0000; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none; background-color: #e9e9e9; width: 100%; height: 100%; } I can't work out what I need to change to fix this, I really hope some of you can. I'm sure it's fairly straightforward, I just don't know what to do. I tried increasing the padding but because the length of words of the heading vary, so too do the grey boxes generated this way. I need them to be all the same size, like in the design example. Many Thanks, Robert I need to change some page setup setting for print like orientation, headers and footers Is it possible to define it in CSS. Hi, I've been struggling for a long time now about how to create a CSS menu with opacity of whatever rating. If anyone can help me out by telling me how or a good code source place please please let me know. I found a software which costs a $139 and i really feel its not worth it. So if someone can please help me out. Thanks. Happy New Year! I'm having issues with my website in progress, http://www.vilardojardim.com/about.html Everything seems to be displaying fine in Firefox, Safari and Explorer 8.0.6, but the IE 'Compatibility View Settings' makes the layout go all wiggy. Is there any way of automatically turning this off? Or, can someone help me out with a way to adjust the CSS to avoid the problem altogether? Thanks in advance for any assistance. I've found out that IE and Firefox both handle CSS page structure differently. I have a CSS container of width: 740px Height: 960px and IE prints the page with extra spaces at the top and bottom while this same setting is a bit short both width and height wise in Firefox. How do I compensate for both two browsers by using the same CSS file? I don't want to create different CSS for each browser. I have FF 2.0 and IE 7. However, I assumed many of my users will still be using IE6. Any help is appreciated. Hi, I have the definition of the <body> tag in my external CSS file as follows: body { background:URL("fundo5.gif"); scrollbar-arrow-color: yellow; scrollbar-base-color: black; scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: yellow; scrollbar-track-color: green; scrollbar-face-color: blue; scrollbar-shadow-color: white; scrollbar-highlight-color: silver; scrollbar-3d-light-color: black; } However, this settings do get displayed on IE 6.0 Do I have to set any other properties so that I can change the colors of the scrollbar? thanks in advance Daniel I have done my best to GOOGLE this problem but am not coming up with anything. I'm fairly certain that there is some setting/code that I need to add in CSS that would make this error go away. When I view my site in INTERNET EXPLORER, the main content box is shoved down almost below the sidebar/nav menu. The site works fine in FIREFOX & CHROME. I was hoping someone could help me. I have attached a picture of what it looks like in IE. I would like to know if anyone has done something like this - I need to have the look and feel of a site totally configurable through a web interface. All data is going to be stored in a database and I would like to know whether I can autogenerate or update a style sheet based on data from a database. Has anyone done this? Or is this the wrong approach to take in such a case? I also have several clients using the same site, each needing to have their own configurations. I would like to avoid having to have a separate style sheet for each client if possible. Can the properties in a stylesheet be set dynamically on a session per session basis? I am using wordpress for my blog/site. I am using Freshnews theme from woothemes as the theme for the blog. Here is the link: demo.woothemes.com/freshnews The font is not that good and it is way too small and the spacing is bad (too congested). How do I change the fonts, size, spacing (line and paragraph) throughout the blog. I know I would have to change it somewhere in the stylesheet. But where exactly and how? And what are the ways to get this done? Should I install a font somewhere? Should I use webfonts (like google webfonts)? What is the advantage in using this? or what are the other ways? i have images, but i have this Code: * a { text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; color:#665637; } * a:hover { color:#B39760; border-top-style: double; border-top-width: 1px; border-top-color: #665637; } and my anchored images take on the hover property. how can i stop them from doing this and just stay as they were? Hi All, I'm new to the forum. My website's Index page is losing all my body font and color settings, though layout is correct. All of the subfolders' index pages and other pages throughout my website remain unaffected. I've sanity checked it all, and it validates OK. I have an email in to the webhost for some input, but I hoped to get some advice from other CSS-ers who might be in the know. My website is: NickiGreenwood.com I am a romance author and sideline-web-design-junkie. Any help, advice, or even a point in the right direction would be a huge, huge help. Thanks, all. Nicki Greenwood - Romance Author Hey guys, So I am new to doing PSD>>>XHTML (or html) & CSS. Basically..I am knew to coding I guess you could say as well. I have been watching this tutorial: net[dot]tutsplus[dot]com/videos/scree...-psd-to-xhtml/ And in it, he tells me about CSS and how to make the images appear. Basically, the images that I want to appear in my css, are not appearing. I have made sure all of the div id's are correct, and they are. My CSS can be found he tinypaste[dot]com/770074 ALL of the images, do not appear. Any help?? (PS- I know some of my things in my CSS are probably not the best practice, but I am not really looking for your criticism, but rather the solution to my problem) Thanks! ~ Joe Why does this css style work only in firefox and not IE : Code: .showhide {font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12px;color: #EA6D67;cursor: pointer; onMouseOver:text-decoration: underline;} Everything in the style works apart from the last section: {onMouseOver:text-decoration: underline;} Any ideas? Cheers Hey, it's me again, I was wondering if there is a way to make any header tag (in my case, it's H3) so that the text appears as normal? Essentially, make it so that nothing changes with the text. eg- 'Hello <H3>everybody</H3>' would appear just the same as 'Hello everybody.' I've tried multiple things using CSS, but can't seem to make it work. Some of the styles or not working in my main.css file. Example: style for td is working but not for ul or li. Syntex is correct, cause I pulled the styles from another one of my sites. Is there something that can cause a partial reading of my main.css file? Ok, I have a design and it works how I want it to in firefox. http://www.eng.nene.ac.uk/~bf04thbu/ However, In IE there are two problems. 1. The graphical border doesnt go all the way around the content area. View it in firefox to see how it's supposed to look. 2. There is a small gap between the first #maintable and #maintable2. Does anyone know how to fix these? I've been trying for a while without success. It appears that the #maintable2 div is on top of the two side images in #maintable2. Thanks for any help. Code: .mainnav a:link, .mainnav a:visited { font-family: tahoma; color: #9b9999; font-size: 15px; line-height: 37px; font-weight: bold; margin: 2px 0 0 0px; text-decoration: none; } .mainnav a:hover, .mainnav a:visited:hover { font-family: tahoma; color: brown; font-size: 15px; line-height: 37px; font-weight: bold; margin: 2px 0 0 0px; text-decoration: none; } i wrote them for the mainnav class tags but the links arent effected? i'm using IE7 and targeting the IE7 users with those codes... What's wrong? I checked there is no duplicated implementation...
