CSS - Css Formatting Issue..
Hi all,
I am in the process of writing a news script in php, i want to display the articles in a downward way, using divs.. I am having a problem in IE & firefox where the image flows out of the bounds of the div and overlaps in the following div whereas I actually want the div to contain the image so the next div will start below.. I can fix this in a number of ways in firefox (display: table; not sure if its right but it works), but nothing I try seems to work in IE, is there a correct way of doing this that will worth in both browsers? I have included the red border to demonstrate how it is overlapping over the other div.. Code:

I have included the image as an attachment for easy of testing the code above so you can see what I mean! Hopefully someone could help? thanks in advance, regards // infin. Similar TutorialsI've run into a brick wall with a problem I'm having regarding text content that's inside a DIV container. To help illustrate the problem I've simplified the code I'm actually working on so that it can be presented here. What's being done: There is a display div tag in which the text content. There is also a transparency layer within the container so I can have a semi-transparent background without having the text content suffer the same inherent transparency. That works fine. What's the problem: Well any text that's in that display div tag doesn't seem to be displaying any of the class formatting I'm putting on it. If I apply the formatting to the display div tag itself it shows. It also shows if I reformat the actual tags (like the <p>) but if I try to use span and apply a class to a specific portion or add a class to the <p> tag it doesn't show. Code sample is as follows: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Any assistance or words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. EDIT: From what I'm gathering it has something to do with the hierarchy revolving around Classes and ID Selectors. Apparently ID selectors take precedence over classes so placing a class on an element contained within the ID selector object doesn't show for some odd reason. What I'm trying to figure out is if it's possible to do at all or am I just shooting for the moon here? Here's a story for you: Over the past few days, I've been experimenting with different bits of CSS to try and create a site - www . ridiculousity . net - and I've run into a snag. If you look at the source code, you'll see that there should be an image at the bottom of the page. This image should be centered by the body tag in my stylesheet (ridiculx.css), but instead it seems suspiciously absent. Additionally, I have a PHP include function calling to a newspost. According to my stylesheet (at least, as far as I can tell) the text should be showing up directly beneath the comic... Instead, it shows up at the far left of my content div. HOWEVER... When I remove the image that is supposed to be at the page's bottom, suddenly the text formats itself correctly. Finally, and regardless of what I do for whatever reason I can't seem to get my background to extend to 100% of the page's height. When it loads, it extends to fill the visible section of the user's browser window, but not beyond it. If anyone can help with any (or all!) of these issues, I'd be very grateful. Hello, I'm new to CSS but code is beginning to make more sense, for the most part. I've been able to transform an existing template into something more custom. The theme over all has turned out well and I'm happy with it. There is one snag that I'm running into and I really would appreciate someone with more experience and a better understanding of css framework to give me guidance. The issue: The "Comments/Respond" section for each blog post is getting pushed down rather far and there are odd little blue dots showing up to the right, just below the post itself, but before the beginning of the comments section. Now, I did try plugging the CSS code into the validation service and have found some warnings. The thing is, many of these issues were in the template (I didn't change them or edit them). So would the errors that the validation tool found be interfering with how the comment section is getting pushed down? Example of errors: Quote: 318 input[type="text"], textarea Property box-shadow doesn't exist in CSS level 2.1 but exists in : inset 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) inset 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 319 input[type="text"], textarea Property -moz-box-shadow doesn't exist : inset 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) inset 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 320 input[type="text"], textarea Property -webkit-box-shadow doesn't exist : inset 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) inset 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 823 .wp-caption Property -moz-border-radius-bottomleft doesn't exist : 3px 3px 824 .wp-caption Property -moz-border-radius-bottomright doesn't exist : 3px 3px 825 .wp-caption Property -moz-border-radius-topleft doesn't exist : 3px 3px 826 .wp-caption Property -moz-border-radius-topright doesn't exist : 3px 3px 1149 .submitbutton Value Error : float attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name. add it 1286 pre Property -webkit-text-size-adjust doesn't exist : 140% 140% 1289 code Property -webkit-text-size-adjust doesn't exist : 160% 160% 1296 #access, .entry-meta, .entry-utility, .navigation, .widget-area Property -webkit-text-size-adjust doesn't exist : 120% 120% 1299 #site-description Property -webkit-text-size-adjust doesn't exist : none none The thing is, I'm rather confused as to where to pinpoint the gap. In the CSS stylesheet the blog posts which are called out as "Content" live under an id called "Main". The comments seem to live under Main as well and seem to be in their own segment. I just can't figure out how to either pull the comment segment/table whatever you'd call it up more snug with the post, or eliminate whatever excess space is pushing comments down so far and causing the mysterious blue dots. I would post a link to what I'm talking about but I'm too new to the forum. Thanks in advance! I am running amuck! know this should be basic, but Firefox and IE both handle the <h1> tags differently: 1) IE seems to put equal whitespace above and below the element 2) Firefox seems to put less whitespace AFTER the <h1> tag. Anyway to smooth this out so it displays close to similiar? My gratitude ahead of time... hi all, need one help from you.. i have to format a div tag which is generated dynamically.. if there are only 4-5 lines consists in that div it works fine, but the lines go out of bound it takes scroll bar overflow:auto; overflow-x:hidden; height:200px; in mozzila it works fine as the scroll bar comes inside the div tag... but in internet explorer .. the scroll bar goes out of the div tag.. can anybody help me... Hello all, I'm trying to add digg stories to my site & want to format it with css. Digg says you can use CSS with the class names to customize the display. Havent use css before so I'm lost...if someone could hook me up with this I would sure appeciate it. I would like to be able to format the links and text differently. The code I want to use to add digg is: Code: <script language="JavaScript" src="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/diggjs/front/tech_news/0" type="text/javascript"></script> I'm going to put it in a frame so just on a blank page. Thanx! I've run up against a css problem with the homepage on this site under development. In IE8 the right column in the main content area contains an image swapper and the column pushes out beyond the page content area. It displays properly in FF3. I've tried a variety of margin, padding and width changes without success. How do I correct this for all IE and FF browsers? To avoid bloat I have not included the stylesheet here, but it can be viewed in FF. Hi, Really new to this css stuff and i'm sure i'll get a beratting for asking such a simple question but here goes... What i need is a cell with a linked word in it. Initial state is white background with blue text. On rollover i would like the whole cell to turn blue with white text. I'm sure this is simple but just need a point in the right direction. Thanks for any help Tom Yes, this is actually a CSS question, despite me providing HTML code... I'm at my wit's end with IE. In the code below, "outer" is losing all formatting--background color, border, you name it, it's gone. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="outer" style="width: 410px;"> <div id="left" style="float: left; width: 200px;"><p>stuff</p></div> <div id="right" style="float: right; width: 200px;"><p>stuff</p></div> <div style="clear:both; font-size: 0; height: 0; width: 0;">&nbps;</div> </div> <div id="outer" style="width: 410px;"> My stylesheet is set up just fine (works fine in Firefox), so I assume this is one of those weird float bugs in IE. The thing is, it was rendering fine until I added another <div> in an entirely different location. Yes, it's all formatted correctly and validates XHTML 1.0 strict. Am I missing something, or is a known bug that I can't find documented, or does anyone have a suggestion for an alternate approach? Thanks all! Hi, I need help with formatting a calendar using CSS. Here's a list of the goals I'm trying to achieve: The day numbers are positioned in the top right corner of the cell. The event text is centered both vertically and horizontally within each cell. The day number doesn't affect the centering of the event text (i.e., it's as if it has zero width). I need to be able specify a minimum width and height for the cells. I have a png of the effect I am trying to achieve, but unfortunately I can't post it being a brand-new member. If seeing it would help, let me know and I guess I can PM the url to you. Update: Here's the link to the png: Code: http://tapestryfolkdance.org/images/calendar.png Below is what I've tried. However, the event text is not centered vertically within each cell, and the first couple of events are not centered horizontally in the cell. It is fine if the event text overlaps with the day number. Code:
<html><head><style>
table { text-align: center; border-style: solid; border-width: medium; border-spacing: 0px }
td { border-style: solid; border-width: thin; border-color: black; }
.day {
margin: 0px; text-align: center; font-style: bold;
border-style: solid; border-width: thin; border-spacing: 1px;
font-size: large; color: black;
float: right;
}
td {
text-align: center; color: black; font-size: small; min-width: 60px; min-height: 120px;
vertical-align: top;
}
</style>

Is there a way to use CSS to format printer output specifically for a sheet of paper such that page breaks can be formatted in at specific points? Hey guys, hit a problem with my div formatting in css. usig external style sheet with the two styles "header" and "regular". If i make the div class="regular" and then make the first line class="header" using the <a> tag without defining href (as it is not a link, and dont want it to be a paragraph). Then the content below the 1st line ends up superimposed over the 1st line. You understand what i mean? Hopefully this might be a common bug? Anyone know what is causing this? im using IE6.0 to check it for bugs. It is offline atm, as i am making it. but it can be made available if anyone needs to see it. Code: <div id="content" class="regular" style="top: 280px; background-color: F5DEB3; padding: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px;"> <a class="header">About New Zealand</a> <p>New Zealand is one of the most unique places in the world to dive. Its rich, nutrient-dense waters provide a home to a <a href="constructionpage.html" class="interlink">multitude</a> of exotic and amazing <a href="constructionpage.html" class="intralink">creatures.</a> Whilst many of the tropical wonders are summer visistors to our shores, there is an abundance of life all year round.</p> </div> Monkeewrench p.s sorry the code window is stuffed, first time using it, lol Ok, so I'm having some problems getting my site to look how I want. The formatting appears correctly in all browsers (I think) but in IE it's horribly messed up. This is my first site that I'm making just to learn some things and I don't know much CSS at all. I've tried reading up but am not sure how to properly use CSS to make this work cross browser capable. Basically, I want my text box search bar properly centered along with my logo and the "advanced search" and "preferences" links. I painted over some stuff for privacy heh. In FireFox, it looks like this ( http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/9625/ex1hu0.jpg ) but in IE, it looks like this ( http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/4631/ex2sm7.jpg ). So basically in IE the search bar and what not is aligned too high! How can I use CSS to make it looks like it does in FireFox, in all browsers!? I learn best by example so thanks much for any help!!! My probably terrible code is as follows: Code: <table>
<tr>
<td valign="middle">
<a href="/home"><img src="logo.jpg"></a>
</td>
<td valign="middle">
<form id="SearchBarForm" action="search.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q" size="30" maxlength="150" value="'.($q).'" title="Search">
<select name="FTS"> <!-- FTS = File Type Selections -->
<option value ="File_Type">File Type</option>
</select>
<font size=-1><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search"></form></font>
</td>
<td nowrap> <a href=/advanced_search.phpf>Advanced Search</a><br> <a href=/preferences.php>Preferences</a>
</td>
</tr>

I'm working on a project where the client wants a table of data, and one column of data is money, such as "$1.23". The client would like all the "$" aligned on the left side of the column and all the amounts aligned on the right side. Now I could do something like: Code: <td> <div style="float:left">$</div> <div style="float:right">1.23</div> <td> (Obviously I'd change those to classes.) That works, but it seems sloppy, so many extra divs for a tiny little formatting thing. I could also put the "$" into a background image, but then you lose something if you're using a screen reader. I looked into doing something with :first-letter, but there's no way to say "everything else but the first letter float right" without wrapping the amount in a span or div, which still seems sloppy to me. Is there another way to approach this, CSS or otherwise? This appears to be strictly a formatting/style problem. I built a page using validated XHTML Strict and of course, it displays at it should in IE6: http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/formpics/IE---1.gif http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/formpics/IE---2.gif In Opera 8, it displays for the most part, but the table containing the AV/Periphrial radio buttons is shrunk and aligned to the left. Then, when one of the radio buttons are selected, it expands, and the right side of the table appears to be missing. http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f...s/opera---1.gif http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f...s/opera---2.gif Firefox 1.0.4 displays the tables in much the same was as opera, however, the right side is not missing, like in Opera 8. http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f.../firefox--1.gif http://computerslayer1.spymac.com/f.../firefox--2.gif Any ideas, guys? I'm stuck. Hi, Can anyone please help with formatting a list? In the simple list below, I would like; 1) The main list items should always be positioned at top 0px, left 90px of it's container (done) 2) Nested list items should be hidden (done) 3) The nested item that belongs to the "selected" list item, should be visible (done) 4) The nested item that belongs to the "selected" list item, should always be positioned at top 0, left 0 (I can't do this) 5) The main list items should be on top of the visible sub item (I can't do this, the sub item is always on top) Many thanks for any pointers, Cheers, Mark Code:

Hi, I have changed my test site so I can display an ad and so that each section is separated into different sections, anyway after changing a few things and fixing a few problems I have found that the problem is happening with my #ContentMain except I have no idea how to fix it. Essentially #ContentMain is appearing before it should be (ignoring the formating and appearing behind everything) when it should be appearing directly after <div id="main1"> everything I have tried, I have had no success with. Also as I have separated the gap I had between the top links and the main picture to add in in ad section (no actual css setting for it as everything I have tried hasn't worked) Where as before my editing the content appeared where it was meant to, so any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need me to explain something in more detail let me know.
