CSS - Cross-browser Positioning Css Menu

Hi I have been trying to get a cross browser Dropdown css menu to work on my site.

I have got it working in Firefox and IE7.

The problem is in IE6.

The way the author set this up is there are two .css files, one is specific for IE6 and is called in a different manner, like this :
Code:

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="css/dropdown_ie.css" />
<![endif]-->

I dont think this is working for me. It is strange because the page that I get the files from has a demo of the menu and I tested it in FF, IE7, and IE6 and it worked. When I put it on my page it works everywhere but IE6. Am I calling the .css wrong? Here is my menu code:

Code:

<div class="menu">
      <ul>
        <li><a class="hide" href="index.php">HOME</a>
            <!--[if lte IE 6]>
<a href="index.php">HOME

Anyone have any recommendations on a good program to check cross browser stuff. I am tired of having to open every browser up to check my sites.

Also, anyone know any good links for getting better at coding for cross browser CSS?

Thanks!

Hi;

I don't mind writing straight CSS with a text editor; my big problem is cross-browser compatibility -- getting all those tweaks for everything you do to include ie 5, 6 & 7 (I guess we can drop 5 by now).

To that end, I don't object to using an IDE or other tool to develop cross browser CSS. So my question is, what is/are the best resources available to handle the cross-browser issues; from broken box model, etc.

** I know about ie7-js from Dean Edwards, but I don't know how well that works.

** I know about some CSS IDE's like Aptana & Stylizer; but again I don't really know how well they handle these issues.

** And I would like to hope there are some sites out there with total references that tells you everything you need to know about cross browser CSS, though all I've found so far are piecemeal articles; how to handle this or that aspect.

So in short, I don't expect one magic bullet (though that would be nice), but I'm looking for pointers to and evaluations of various resources that could be maybe used together to make this problem a little easier.

Thanks

I am having problem making this cross browser friendly

Hi,

I have a template that works perfectly in Internet Explorer, but doesn't work well in all the other browsers.

Here is the template: http://www.gmaptools.com/redemo/format.html

(The scrollbar located on the right of the page doesn't contain to 100% height in the other browsers)

The entire page must stay at 100% height and 100% width, and work in the other browsers the same way it works in Internet Explorer.

Does anyone know why it isn't working in the other browsers?

I need it to work in:
1. Internet Explorer (Windows)
2. FireFox (Windows & Mac)
3. Opera (Windows)
4. Safari (Mac)

I really appreciate any assistance you can give me.

Thanks in advance,

Ok, so I've having some problems getting a webpage I'm designing looking good (I'm better at the "behind the scenes" coding, not so much the visual part). Anyway, I'm having some problems in Firefox and even more in IE, so here goes. In Firefox I want it to extend all the way to the bottom of the page, I tried adding "min-height:100%" to the container's styles, but that doesn't work. Can I not use a percent for the min-height? If I directly declare the height to be 100%, then the body can expand outside of the container rather than the container expanding with it. I also want to make sure that the body is always completely filling the container. The page in question is he

On this site http://www.freewaytransmissions.com I am having issues with the spacing on the navigation. The nav is an ul and I used inline css for spacing the links apart, but as you see in Chrome they are spaced correctly, but in IE they are not aligned correctly. If someone can shed some light I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Tom

This template works perfectly in firefox (as I want it) but the background-images won't show and the margin/padding shows wrong. When I validate the CSS in firefox, it goes through, but when I do it in IE, it tells me that the id's are suppose to be used for block elements. I've done a search and read up on this over at w3schools but it was fruitless. I would like for it too look in IE the way it does in FF.

I think it has something to do with the header or some part of the id's, because that feels a bit odd coding from my part.

Please excuse the poorly formatted CSS, as the first part of it was made online where you had to use space to format it. Here is my source code:

Hi there, I am reposting this question after removing the extraneous items from the site. Basically, I can get things to line up in either IE or FF, but not both, I have managed to solve this with past sites, but can't seem to figure this one out! Currently I have it set so it is correctly displayed in IE:

http://www.kohlrbaby.com/vcc/portfolio/portfolio.htm

Please, please help me to figure out how to do fixes for this issue, I have been searching online but can't seem to figure it out and am very frustrated!
Thanks so much and here is my CSS:

body {
margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
background-color: #999999;
text-align: center;

}
#title{
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-left:0px;
position: relative;
float: left;
clear: left;

}
#rightBox {
border-right: 2px solid #666666;
width:625px;
padding: 0px;
border-top: 2px solid #666666;
border-bottom: 2px solid #666666;
border-left: 2px solid #666666;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-left:0px;
background: #ffffff;

}
.mainPic {
margin-top: -475px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-left: 30px;
position:relative;
float: left;
clear: left;
z-index: 100;
}

img.pic{
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
border-top: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px solid #000000;

}
PS: i know I don't need to have all my margin positions shown (ie: may eventually become margin: 0px), however I have kept it like this until I figure out what my problems are.

How does one make a header like this cross browser compatible? It works in most browsers but I noticed in IE8 it renders the header weird. Here is the CSS:
Code:

.header { position: relative; padding-bottom: 0; z-index: 20; }
#banner-top { float: right; line-height: 0; margin: 20px 20px 20px 0px; }
.logo { float: left; margin: 0 50px 0 20px; }
.logo.image { line-height: 0px; }
.logo .plain-text { font-size: 20px; line-height: 30px; font-weight: bold; }
.logo #tagline { font-size: 11px; font-style: italic; }

#search-bar { float:left;
              margin-top:25px;
              z-index:500;}

#search-bar #home_search { 
display: block;
    height: 40px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 4px;
    position: relative;
    width: 595px;}

#search-bar #home_search_input { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 1px solid #C6C6C6;
    color: #666666;
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 12px;
    height: 40px;
    line-height: 14px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    width: 480px; }




#search-bar #home_search_submit {
	border: 1px solid #dc5653;	
    background: #fe5d62; /*fallback for non-CSS3 browsers*/
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(#fe8781) to(#fe5d62)); /*old webkit*/
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*new webkit*/
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*gecko*/
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*IE10*/
    background: -o-linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*opera 11.10+*/
    background: linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*future CSS3 browsers*/
    -pie-background: linear-gradient(#fe8781, #fe5d62); /*PIE*/

 repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 0 none !important;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: bold;
    height: 43px;
    padding: 0 10px;
    margin-left: 6px;
    width: 80px;}

Does anybody know how to tweek this code to render the same in all browsers? Freaking IE8!

Im not a newbie to CSS but I am still a bit new to hand coding and div positioning.

heres the link - http://members.cox.net/tekjock/test/

the body section I want it to be
bottom 5px
Left 5px
right 5px

I can get it to look good in firefox but IE it looks like crap. I have tried the above and it does not work.

Any suggestions
Thanks

I'm designing a site with a combination of css and tables and I've run into some issues w/IE.

I've got some content in a nested table

<table id="content">
<tr>
<td>
Content...
</>
</>
</table>

and in my style sheet i have

#content{
padding-left:20px;
...
}

Firefox recognizes this property just fine and displays the table slightly indented, but IE seems to completely miss it. I have figured out a few workarounds, but they end up causing more problems and there are also other thigns that IE has been missing.. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

ALSO

i have a <div id=divider> inside a td w/css props as width:1px and height:100% and background-color:#000000.

again, firefox recognizes this and displays a black line that is the height of the td and 1 px wide, but IE displays a little midget line thats like 10px tall instead of the entire height of the cell. wtf?

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to pure CSS (as opposed to hacking tables together) and I'm experiencing a cross-browser inconsistency that I'm hoping I can get help with.

I've created a table using DIVS as follows (I've given just one line as an example):

Code:

<div id='dashed_box'>

<div class='divleft'>Company Name:</div><div class='divright'><input type='text' name='company_name' size='32' class='boxes'></div>

<div class='spacer'>&nbsp;</div>
</div>

And the CSS is this:
Code:

#dashed_box
{
  border: 1px dashed #333333; 
  margin:5 auto;
  padding:5 auto;
  width: 600px;
}
.divleft {
  font-family: verdana;
  font-size: 12px;
  line-height: 20px;
  float: left;
  text-align: right;
  color: #000;
  width: 49%;
  }

.divright {
  font-family: verdana;
  font-size: 10px;
  float: right;
  text-align: left;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #000;
  width: 49%;
  }
 
div.spacer {
  clear: both;
  }

..In IE7 the box is laid out perfectly, as I wanted it to:




..but in FireFox 5.0, it is laid out as follows, which I don't want:



Can anyone point out what I might be doing wrong?
Or might it be a case of defining HTTP_USER_AGENT and specifying CSS depending on browser?

All help appreciated.
