CSS - Ie Layer Transparency Prob. With Pulldown Menus, Workaround?
I've been trying to make a "pop-up" window with CSS which works great for the most part, except in IE when there is a form pull-down menu behind it. For some reason in IE it just sticks right through the top z-indexed layer:
Similar TutorialsWas referred to Suckerfish and find it very useful but I cannot figure out how to center the menu line on the screen (inside a table or not). Oddly, it automatically centers in IE but not Chrome or Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!! I can post an example of what I mean but don't want to violate the new users guidelines. Hey Guys, I'm switching over from a completely javascripted and clunky menu system to htmldog/alistapart's Son of Suckerfish CSS pulldown menu. (ref: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ ) Now, I'm having trouble with the new menu sitting behind other properties on my pages; namely other form-pulldowns. Can you suggest anything that might correct this - I've tried z-indexing the pulldowns but that doesn't seem to do the trick!? Check this out at : http://www.pps.org/gps/ - pass your cursor over Placemaking Tools. Note - this seems to be a problem I'm noticing with IE6; in Mozilla/Firefox everything works alright. Cheers, Qasim Virjee pps.org qasim.ca (personal) Hey I'm having some trouble with the website I'm trying to make. I got a css style pulldown menu, but the pulldown part can't be seen because its on the top frame of a frameset. Is there a way to make the pulldown extend over the edge of the frame? Hello. My site works fine in Firefox 3 of course not sure about IE 7 but in IE 6 the menus bar links are not dropping down ie About Us, Services ect. What did I miss? Site Link Matt Hello, I currently have a site (left aligned) that has its own Javascript pulldown menu. Its is pretty standard with the sub-menu's being in their own layer and are shown on mouseover. My problem is that these sub-menus are currently set at an absolute left position (CSS) but, if centered, will appear in different places at different resolutions. Does anyone know if its possible to anchor a layer to a point from something on a different z-index? I did a search on the forums here and found a similar question but no responses. Thanks guys! I'm using the "first-letter" feature with CSS which shows up fine in IE, but is totally off in Mac's Safari. Any suggestions on a workaround? The following is what I have currently: In main.css file: p.initial:first-letter { font-size: 300%; float: left} In actual page: <p class="initial">Welcome! I have found out that if you don't define a width for an element in CSS and you set the left and right margins to auto to accomplish centering... it doesn't work. I would like to make this element to be easy to add to, but right now I have to resort to making sure the width is just right... And that stinks. Any way around? I kind of understand why... CSS doesn't know what to make the margins when it is declared unless the width is defined because the HTML has beenr rendered yet.. but gosh! Thanks for any advice. 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. Behind those shapes I would like to show 2 other images. |-------1-------| | |-----| |----| | | |...2..| |..3..| | | |____| |____| | |_____________| Image 1 should be on top z-Index Image 2 should under image 1, a part of the image should be visible. 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 am trying to have make a 'facebook' style toolbar fixed to the bottom of the screen. This works on desktop browsers except Mobile Safari on the iPhone (due to the 'viewport' way of rendering the page). Is their a workaround for this? I have seen doctyper's method but can't get it to work. Thanks I believe I may have found a CSS bug in Safari, but wanted to run this by some experts for advice, and a possible workaround - I haven't been able to find one yet. What I'm trying to do is position an iframe directly to the right of a table, and have it ALWAYS be to the right, even if it causes the page to horizontally scroll. I was able to achieve this in Mozilla, Opera, and (even) IE [have not tested IE/Mac] by making the iframe absolutely positioned, but inside a relatively-positioned span element immediately after the table, like so: Code:
<html> <head>
<style>
.maintab {float: left;}
.framediv1 {position: absolute;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><table border=1 class="maintab">
<tr><td>Col 1, a short column</td><td>Col 2, which is longer than Col 1</td>
<td>Col 3: an even longer column that isn't fixed-width</td></tr>
</table>
<span style="position:relative">
<iframe class=framediv1 name=framediv width=250 height=200 frameborder="0" src="http://www.yahoo.com"></iframe>
</span>
</body> </html>
As I mentioned, this has the desired effect in Moz, IE, Opera. However, in Safari, it's positioning the iframe relative to the left margin, rather than the right-edge of the table, where the <span> is expected to be. I'm about 90% confident this is a Safari bug, because the position:absolute should be using the last non-staticly positioned parent container (the span) to determine where to put it. Anyone care to confirm? Better still, anybody have a workaround (other than using a table inside a table - blech!) Thanks, Keith CSS 1, Netscape 4.x and background+width issue need workaround: I am working on a website template and converting it to CSS. I have seperated my CSS1 from my CSS 2 sheet and am currently trying to get NN 4.x to do what I have read it won't do and have no idea how to make it do what I want. BTW:Please do not advise me to drop NN 4.x, unfortunately it is not within my power to do so. What I need to do is put a background color on an H1 header that will be only as wide as the table cell (column) it is in. (3 column plus header and footer layout). BTW: I cannot drop the table either. My problem is that when I get the background to work (instead of just surrounding the text) I cannot get it to be liquid and remain inside its cell. When I set the width to %'s it just pushes the other 2 columns out of the way even when the % is not the width of the column. Unfortunately, pixels are not flexible enough for this layout. So, how do I get a background color on an H1 tag that fully expands to the width of the column (not just the text) using CSS 1 and NN 4.x while not destroying the table layout? Thank you for your help- Schach PS: This is not an issue of my code, but an issue of the NN 4.x CSS support. So I do not need to have the code debugged, but instead I need a hack or method to outsmart the browser, so I can duplicate a site in CSS. This site is currently heavily reliant on tables, something we want to change, but can't unless we can reproduce the site in NN 4.x. (You can email me if you would like to do that) Hi, I'm attempting to apply a left and right image to a tab when hovered. The images aren't simply curved corners, but rather curved inwards corners at the top and outwards at the bottom. The tabs are all of different widths and I'd like to avoid using a class for each tab obviously. here's an image depicting what I mean: So the issue is essentially that I need the a:hover class to apply two background images - one on the left, one on the right - as one image can't deal with different sized tabs. I know that won't be possible until CSS3, but I know there must be a way to do this with today's standards. The image is of the tab on hover. Without hover, it's just the plain gray background to the left and right of it. There's probably a method for these sort of issues on A List Apart or something, but I can't find one. Anybody have anything on hand, or any suggestions? Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance! I'm creating an email template for all mail that I'll send to my users. I'm trying to make it work for as many mail clients as possible, so I'm only using inline css. Even with that, it appears that gmail doesn't support the background-image property. I have a table defined as Code:
<table style="background:#666666; background-image:url(http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/images/bg_grad.gif); background-repeat:repeat-x; width:100%; height:100%; margin:0px; " cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
...
This works fine for yahoo mail. With gmail, it will render "background", but as soon as I try and add an image, it ignores all of the styling. Has anybody run into this problem? Any suggestions on a solution would be greatly appreciated. Hi, this would be my first post. I've been using CSS for about 6-7 months now, and I always find that IE is difficult.

<p>Cryptids, animals that haven't been proven to exist or have little or no information documented on them, could very well be around us. No one can
disprove their existence, but there is evidence that can neither support nor destroy the possibility of them being real. Cryptozoology (the study of
cryptids) comes from the Greek words: <i>kryptos</i>, <i>zoon</i>, and <i>logos</i>, which translate to: hidden, animal, and discourse. The term was coined
by Lucien Blancou when he dedicated a book to Bernard Heuvelmans, "the master of cryptozoology". Accounts of cryptids are abundant and diverse. Even if outsiders
to an area have never heard of a cryptid, the native peoples often have tales of them; if the creature never existed, surely they would not have accounts
and stories about them.</p>

<p>Demonology, or the study of demons, is a branch of theology, and involves the studying of demons' existence, or the belief in them. Demons are very common
in religion, and are not always evil. In fact, most demons in ancient religions were good, bad, or both. Djinn (Middle Eastern demon-like beings)
could become good and adopt Islam. However, in some religions, like Christianity, demons are always evil and serve their lord, Satan.A demonologist studies
demons and catalogues their existence; they made be a member of the occult or an exorcist for one of the major religions of today.</p>

<p>Mythology is the study of myths, which are tales that have been gathered and reflect on a culture's beliefs. Myths were abundant in ancient
civilizations like Egypt, Greece, Japan, and Rome, but in the modern world our myths reflect things that aren't religious or spiritual in any way. Tribal mythology is abundant in areas
of Pacific Asia or Africa.</p>

In Firefox, it's perfectly okay. The Left sidebar nests within the main container and looks gooood. In IE, though, the sidebar jumps in between the header and the maincontainer so that it is in the middle making a huge gap. http://mythscape.freezoka.com If you'd like to see what I'm talking about. Please help PHP Code: body { margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; background-color: #777; } #bodywrapper { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 750px; background-color: #FFF; } #logo { margin-left: 15px; margin-top: 7px; margin-bottom: 7px; } .image { display: block; } .topnav { float: right; margin-top: 25px; background-image: url( images/line.gif ); } #left { float: left; width: 180px; background-color: #ccc; } #right { float: right; width: 180px; background-color: #ccc; } #center { margin-left: 190px; margin-right: 190px; background-color: #ccc; } #clear { clear: both; } #contentwrapper { margin: 0px; } PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> <link href="/css/layout.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <title>Petroleum Listing Service</title> </head> <body> <div id="bodywrapper"> <div id="header"> <div class="topnav"> image image image </div> <div id="logo"> <img class="image" src="images/logo.gif" /> </div> </div> <div id="contentwrapper"> <div id="left"> left </div> <div id="right"> right </div> <div id="center"> center </div> <div id="clear"></div> </div> <div id="footer"> </div> </div> </body> </html> The problem I am having is it seems that FF starts rendering the white background only once the image is placed...it doesn't count the margin above it as content I assume... IE however does what I want it to do...renders the margin above the image as content, and thus the white background starts at the very top of the page, thus a white margin between the top of the page and the logo. How do I rectify the problem? I understand that FF is probably doing it right...but how do I make FF also start the white background at the top. PROB FIXED hi, I have a site im working on: www.tomaustin.dsl.pipex.com/webdev I have #mainbox on the left and #subnav on the right I want the subnav to have height 100% ( i know it is, but thats to show the other problem) I also have subnav going under mainbox when there is less content in main box basically im trying to get it to look like www.alistapart.com can anyone help, just ask if the probem sisnt make sense thanks PROB FIXED I was asked to change the header to a rotating one, and I found a nice jquery solution. Of course at first it made the links at the top (on top of the image) disappear, but then I looked at the jquery code and saw that it used z-index (1000), and so I made <header p> = z-index of 6000. That brought them back and in fact it looked pretty good... except in IE. And, depending on what I'm doing to fix the IE problem, Safari. In those browsers, the rotating header appears flush under the header p links, rather than flush up against the border -- and you can see the old static image peeking out. http://esdcar.org/about/board.html?category_id=1&sub_id=2 I googled z-index and IE and found several different options for stacking problems, which it seems like this is. (Am I wrong?) Negative z-index on the header div that contains header p, solved the problem in Safari but not IE. I followed some other suggestion and made all the parent elements successively 1 higher in value. Basically I've tried many things and none have worked. This is the current iteration: Code: #container
{ color: #775b36;
background-color: #ffefca;
border: 4px #f5c674 solid;
width: 800px;
margin: auto;
background: url(../images/bkg_faux.jpg) repeat-y 50% 0;
z-index: 6003; }
<snip (unrelated divs)>
#content
{ width: 75%;
position: relative;
margin: 0em;
float: right;
z-index:6002;}
#header
{ background-image: url(../images/ec_landscape.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top; height: 100px;
border-bottom: 4px #f5c674 solid;
text-decoration: none; color: #775b36;
text-align: left;
margin-bottom: 0em;
position:relative;
z-index:6001; }
#header p
{ float: right;
/*margin-right: 1%;*/
margin-top: 0em;
padding-top: .2em;
font-size: .7em;
position:relative;
z-index:6000;
display:inline;
background:#ffefca;
padding: 2px; }
What am I not getting? It seems like the z-index is the problem that was introduced, but I can't seem to fix it. Well I have a multi-part question. I am obviously new to css. I have a site located here . As you can see in the panel to the left the text spans past the footer. I would like the text to push the footer down. I have been trying for hours to get this to work but well.... here I am Any help would be greatly appreciated. Second part is that I opened this in IE on mac and WHOA! Not good to say the least. Any ideas on how I can hack this to match the way it looks in FF? Again any help would be great. Thanks for your time and expertise, phpkata. Hi again. okay i'm playing with CSS to make a new site. Im trying to get the background image to move down from the top of the page by around 3cm or 200px approx but i cant figure out how to do it. Can anyone help a CSS n00b. Thanks Image so you can see what i meean. http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4571/help2wq.jpg |
