CSS - Padding/mouseovers In Ie7

Hey everyone, I am working on a new template:

http://4xp.net/temp.html

The colors are there just so I can see the divs, so don't worry.

If you look at the page in IE, it looks fine, with some padding between the green and orange div, and to the right of the orange div. When you look at it in Firefox, there is a bunch of white padding to the top and bottom of both the orange and green divs, and I can't seem to get it to go away. The weird thing is, if I add a 1px border to the orange div, the green div aligns to the top, and the orange background expands to fill in the white area above and below the orange div.

Does anyone know how to remove this padding?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I have 2 main divs.. one which holds a small ammount of content on the right hand side.. like a 'related links' box which is located at the top right of the page. The other div holds the content. It wraps around the top right div, but there is no padding to the right of the content area, so the text goes right the way up to the right hand div. How can I add some padding to the right of this area? I have added padding, but it adds it to the text where it wraps below the top right div.

This is the code I am using:

PHP Code:
#related_links{
width: 165px;
height: 237px;
background-image:  url('images/related_bg.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
float:right;
padding-right: 10px;

}

#related_inside{
padding: 10px;
}


#content{
padding-right: 10px;
}

#content_inside{
padding: 10px;

} 





PHP Code:
<div id="related_links"><div id="related_inside">right hand text</div></div>
    
    
    <div id="content">
    <div id="content_inside" >is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting   industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the   1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a   type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap   into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised   in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum   passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus   PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. <strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting   industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the   1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a   type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap   into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised   in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum   passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus   PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. <strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting   industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the   1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a   type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap   into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised   in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum   passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus   PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. </div></div> 

Right now, there is nothing about padding located in css file. And I was told I should add a bit because my page is a headache to read. I was told:

"Basically you want to add more white space between the vertical line and the text"

How would I go about doing this? The site Im talking about is:
www.ohiocichlids.com

I don't know exactly what to call what's going on, but i'm asuming that there is a padding issue with my menu.

I have a ul that contains my menu list. The CSS and xhtml are as follows: Code:

/* Menu */
li {
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	border-bottom: 0px none;
	display: inline;
	line-height: 14px;
	margin: 0px;
	margin-left: 1px;
	margin-right: 1px;
	padding: 0px;
	padding-left: 3px;
	padding-right: 3px;
}
ul#menu {
	background-image: url(img/menu.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 9px;
	list-style-position: inside;
	list-style-type: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	text-align: center;
	background-position: left bottom;
	vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
/* End Menu */


<ul id="menu"><li>Menu 1</li><li>Items 2</li>
<li>Will 3</li><li>Go 4</li><li>Here 5</li></ul>

(the menu is on one line, thanks to IE's whitespace issue, i broke it here for easier readablity.)

the problem is: i have it nestled on top of a div, and for some reason the ul has a 1px bit of padding on the bottom. I have searched the forum and may have missed some one posting a resolution for this, but i tried every one ov the voice-family/carrage return fixes i've seen, but none work.

I have padding and margins all set to 0...

Hi all,
My CSS for a <DIV> is:
Code:

.title {
  width: 350px;
  background: #aaccff;
  padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
  border: 1px #cccccc solid;
}

When I enter text in the DIV, it shows a bit to the right of the left border, which is what padding property is supposed to do!

The problem is, in Internet Explorer, this "shift" is PERFECT and there is no extension beyond the right border, but in Firefox, the background color can be seen extended 10px to the right border.

I searched on internet and people called it a problem with I.E.

Everywhere I visited, people seemed to curse a Microsoft product and give a line of code, "DOCTYPE" etc to force I.E. to change mode and behave like Firefox. Those guys dont understand that what the coder wants is a solution so that Firefox shows the DIV exactly like I.E.

1) So please! Stop cursing I.E. and give solution as to how to modify the code...!


2) A person said that the width is calculated as:
width + padding + margin.

In my case, since margin is "0", the suggession seemed to use the following code:
Code:

.title {
  width: 340px;
  background: #aaccff;
  padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
  border: 1px #cccccc solid;
}

i.e., subtracting the padding-left from width.
But that makes "no sense" because if we do the above, it should do nothing but to just change the width of the DIV, and so the end result would be that in Firefox, instead of spanning to 360 px horizontally, this would cause it to span in 350px horizontally. Keeping in view that its the "only" DIV on the page, setting the width parameter should not be a problem.


3) Now, if Firefox follows standard, then how will firefox ever show the padding property correctly if the above scenario is considered...!

4) Microsoft may not follow the standards sometimes, but the result "is" userfriendly most of the times...!

Thanks!

hi, i was centering some divs thats 100% width with some padding on both sides, and position absolute

it's like 3 layers...the background first is just black, second layer is gray with 10px margin on both sides...next layer has 10 more pixels margin...

i see it doesnt work in FF but only IE and Opera...in FF the page gets bigger from the padding

HOW can i center these div's instead, i tried without width and now they come very thin...maybe invisable...

i also tried with position relative instead of abolute...then some other crazy things happen


much respect for the people that helps me with this, its the last bit before my site is ready!

Question? Okay I know IE for some reason defaults with a left-padding or something for an unordered list. so when I set padding:0 for my unordered list everything is great in firefox. But when I look at it in IE the list-style elements are pulled off of the list object. How can I place no padding on the list and still use the list-symbols in IE?

The thought of placing my own list object in the background, but it would be silly if I could just use the disc built into windows ie.

thanks!

First off, I'm a new member. I'd like to thank everyone for such a great board. My name is Mike and I'll be a very active user in this community as I enter the world of web design.

I have a page with an embedded flash object. I created a CSS Border around the object, and would like to add padding to it so that text can wrap around it. I understand that when adding padding to an object, it actually pushes the border out. I want the padding to reflect outside the border and not inside. All of my CSS has to be inline (the company's site does not allow workers to access template files via FTP). Here's what isn't working:

<div style="padding-left:10px;padding-bottom:10px;">
<div style="border: 5px solid rgb(198, 175, 144); float: right;position:relative;right:12px;bottom:9px;">

*flash code*

</div>
</div>

As you can see, I tried adding padding-left and padding-bottom outside the border but the text is still going underneath the object. Is there a better solution to this (using inline css)?

Thanks to all.

Hello friends

I try to put padding and borders in a image with the follow code :
img {
border: 1px solid #666666;
padding: 3px;
}

It works with the firefox and opera but not with IE ...

Why?

Thanks

is it possible to add table padding in the same way it is applied to divisions etc given the following code

Code:

<table class="forums">
   <tr>
      <td></td>
   </tr>
</table>

<div class="forums"></div>

Code:

.forums
{
   padding: 10px;
}

Using the above gets to different sizes as the padding it not applied to the table.

I've run into this problem a few times. The padding attribute has spottty support in IE. Same with margin. Has anyone found a workaround?

For example, I would like paragraphs and bullet points to have extra space above them. In the past, I've set a style using padding-top to specify this space. However, in IE it yields some bad results.

Similarly, I've got some text links which I would like to bump over to the right a few pixels. Padding or margin would sure come in handy.

Any other ways to achieve the same result?

how do you remove the "padding" of the ul on the left hand side?
