CSS - Why The Height Difference (ff Vs. Ie)?
http://www.justusvizslas.com/CrossTies/cttemplate.php
I'm working on a new site and am trying to get a basic template set up. In my navigation menu I notice a height difference where the tabs are located. In FF it appears that the #navigation or .menu div has a slightly larger height than in IE, which just closes the height snug with the height of the tabs themselves. Can someone explain why this is the case and how/if I can correct it so that it shows up the same in both browsers? Similar TutorialsHi all, I am trying to automate everything on my test website and I have one more angle to cover. In effect, I want to adjust the line-height property (which I can do) based on the number of files within a specific folder (PHP and already done). The more files in the folder, the lower the line-height value must be. This is to ensure if I copy additional files into the folder, then the navigation menu (which is PHP reading files in this particular folder) will alter the CSS line-height property accordingly to ensure it can never exceed a certain height. Sounds wierd? go to www.re3.org.uk (next to the RE3 image, I have a list of hyperlinks which are obtained from files within the folder) My problem, when adjusting the CSS property (which is set as cm in *.css file) in javascript, it doesn't correspond correctly, the line-height property in javascript doesn't appear to be work in cm but some other measurement. Does anyone know how to change what unit of measurement Javascript works in? Or does anyone know what unit of measurement javascript uses when adjusting line-height / line-width values? I want to create a mini-algorithm that works out the appropriate line-height based on the image height (got that already) and the number of files in the folder (got that too) so the menu automatically adjusts to fit. Whew! It seem that everytime I added the image tag, the div'x area get bigger in IE but not in Mozilla/Firefox browser. So, I thought by added the "margin-bottom:-360px;" to the div would fix it but it had an opposite effect. Meaning it worked in IE but Mozilla show a vertical scrollbar. So, does anyone know how can I make the <img> overlap one another without being stacked on one after another in height for IE if I take out the "margin-bottom: -360px;"? Thanks... Code:
div.divBox1
{
width: 286px;
height: 359px;
float: left;
}
div.divClearFloat
{
clear: both;
height: 0px; /* For IE Stupidity (it added some spaces after clearing the float) */
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
div.divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1
{
width: 575px;
height: 3px;
background-color: #ff0000;
font-size: 1pt; /* For IE Stupidity (minimum height only work with current font-size somewhere) */
}
Code: <div class="divBox1"> <div style="margin-bottom:-360px;"> <img src="images/doctor.jpg" style="position:relative;top:0px;left:0px;z-index:2;"> <img src="images/we_help.jpg" style="position:relative;top:-360px;left:0px;z-index:1;"> </div> </div> <div class="divClearFloat"></div> <div class="divDottedLineAdvertisementSeperator1"></div> Hello everybody! I have been having a big problem with my webpage for a long time now and hope I can find an answer to my problem with your help. I want a div that contains the content of my pages (which varies in length depending on the individual page) to stretch the length of my page, but it only stretches the length of the window. Here's the HTML and CSS: HTML (I only included the very basic structure): <html> <body> <div class="container"> <div id="content"> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> <div id="..."></div> </div> </div> </body> </html>` CSS: html, body { height: 100%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; background: #FFF url(../../images/body.png) no-repeat center 40px; margin: 0; position: relative;} .container { height: 100%; width: 960px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; position: relative;} #content { width: 939px; min-height: 100%; position: relative; top: 210px; left: 6px; box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px #666; background-color: #FFF;} I tried to set the content div to overflow: auto, but that includes a scroll bar for the content div that I do not want. It does, however, create the desired effect of the shadow and background of the #content div all the way to the end of the page. Am I missing anything? I thought min-height would work, but it doesn't! It only stretches the content div to page height and everything else is overflow, but without the content div's background color and shadow. Does anybody maybe see where the problem lies? Thank you so much in advance for your help. I've never done much CSS work, but I know this has to be an easy fix. Each DIV appears to be 10px higher when viewed in IE. I want them to be 8px high and they end up being 18px high. In Firefox, Netscape, and Opera it works fine. Anyone mind correcting this imbarrassing little problem? Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Hello Just recently I had an idea for a page I wanted to make, the design is basically a 3-column layout with no traditional header or footer, the height of all three columns should run the length of the window/page height the left and rightmost column would have a fixed width or a width in em, the center column width should fill the space in between. If the content is short all columns should extend to the height of the page window, but if the content in any of the columns is longer than the window height they should all extend to reach the bottom of the page and accommodate the content length In my first attempt things didn't go so well, results varied wildly across browsers so I decided to start from scratch bit by bit Bellow is the point at which I reach consistent but undesired behaviour, I have validated and tested the code in Firefox 3/Pale Moon, Internet Explorer 8, Chromium 9, and Opera 11 I would like the end result to work in the above browsers as well as IE7 if possible I should point out now that im not interested in using faux-columns, the layout should not require images, I also wish to have absolute-positioned elements in the columns some time later Code:

In the above example it works as long as the content within the columns is shorter than the window height, but if you re-size the window so that the text in the right or left column goes beyond the page, and then scroll to the bottom, the columns do not extend to the bottom of the page so there is a large gap where the content overflows beyond the column What I would like to do from this point is make the columns extend to the bottom of the page when this happens, but I'm not sure how best to proceed I also have a version of the above code which uses floated left and right columns instead of absolute positioned ones, would it be better to work from that? or does it not really matter Thanks in advance If you look at the bottom of the page at www.res-technologies_DOT_com/index.php?jos_change_template=restech2 in both IE and FF, you will see that it looks fine in IE, but in FF the page length is extended by exactly the height of the header image at the top of the page. Trying to figure out what's causing this is driving me nuts! Can anyone help? thx dh Hi! What is the difference between these two snippets of code? <ul> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> </ul> and <ol> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> <li>...</li> </ol> I know ul stands for unordered list and ol for ordered list but the two examples above are the same, right? What is the difference between these two: .itemBox #itemBox I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between these variables. I am having a problem trying to get one column match the height of another. Within a large DIV box, I created two columns separated by about 20 px. I floated one to the left, then pushed one over to the right. Both boxes will expand depending on the amount of content, but I would like them to match the same height. The boxes will be used throughout the entire website, so it would not make sense to create a background image to try and trick it into being the same height.. or actually specifying the height. Is there any way to tell the left box to be the same height as the right box?? I tried to link to my site but it won't let a new member link to a website. My web page has a display bug in IE 5+ on Windows. Specifically, I have a DIV within which I wish to place two images. The two images are the same height and width, and I want to layer them (the top one is a PNG with transparency, but I have already solved that problem, this is a positioning problem) exactly on top of each other. I have done this by positioning them relatively within the DIV. The first image is top:0;left:0 and the second is top:-150;left:0 (the images are 150 px tall). They layer fine, but the DIV is twice the height (as if the second image were still following the first, making he DIV 300 px tall). I have tried many things and am stumped. Here is the site: URL Here is the relevant CSS: Code: #bannerPhoto {
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
height: 150px;
width: 750px;
}
#bannerPic {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
#bannerText {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
left: 0px;
top: -150px;
}
And the HTML: Code: <div id="bannerPhoto"> <div id="bannerPic"><img src="../images/bannerPhotos/image.jpg" height="150" width="750" /></div> <div id="bannerText"><img src="../images/text-cover.png" height="150" width="750" /></div> </div> Anyone? Thanks, Denver. Okay so I have a basic CSS navigation panel on the left-hand side of my webpage. Basically I surrounded an <li> tag with a solid border so it's a rectangle with some text in the middle (ie. about, home, contact us, articles, etc) and I linked it using an <a> tag: Example: Code: <ul> <a href="home.html" class="button"><li>HOME</li></a> <a href="about.html" class="button"><li>ABOUT</li></a> ... </ul> Then for CSS: Code: #navigation ul {
width: 128px;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#navigation li {
background: #CCC;
padding-left: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-left: 10px solid #336699;
}
#navigation a.button {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
}
#navigation a.button:hover {
color: #FFF;
}
The url is: Wolfenzon Schulman It's a website for a firm I work for. So basically, on the FF edition, the buttons work as intended, the entire <li> tag is linked (<a>'ed) and you can click on any part of it to activate the :hover and follow the link. The IE version, you can only hover over the text and anywhere before that (probably because of the padding-left: 5px associated with it). No matter what I've seemed to come up with, the IE version will just not cooperate. Hello, I am trying to get my drop down boxes to line up properly and it is not working out for me in IE. Firefox looks alright, but I am having trouble getting it to line up in IE. Can someone please take a look at This Example and advise me on anything you see that is out of place. Thanks for the insight. webg Can anyone help explain why my menu is displaying differently in FF and IE? I've done some research and tried a few hacks, I cannot figure this one out. http://www.departurestudios.com/playground/ Firefox Screenshot - http://www.departurestudios.com/playground/ff_screen.jpg IE Screenshot - http://www.departurestudios.com/playground/ie_screen.jpg My goal is to get it to look like it does in FF. Thanks. Thanks for taking the time to read my question. My page has a container with only the left and right borders showing. I want to center it. If I put in margin values that look right in FF, they are way off in IE. I suspect that there is a difference in where IE starts counting from and where FF starts counting from. FF seems to be counting from the parent container, where as I am not sure where IE is counting from. How can I fix this?

hi, i was studying how to make layouts in css and was recommended to read this website http://www.thenoodleincident.com/tutorials/box_lesson/basic4.html I learned a new thing from this, to use TOP, LEFT and RIGHT, for side bars. I used to use clear:both and float:left to make similar layout before. anyway, i was facing a problem with one of my recent practice work where the same padding, height, margin shows different height of the div. Even this website has this problem. If you open the same in FF and IE together and see both closely you will see the difference height and width of divs, especially left. In FF it is more than IE. how can we overcome this problem? because I checked skype.com in FF and IE at the same time and had a close look, but there is NO difference between div height or width, it means it is doable. Any wise words are much appreciated. I have created a menu using css... but when i view it in ie it looks just about right.. but on firefox.. the width is just off... example IE: width is fine ------------------ --------- | | | | | | |______| but in firefox it just go all the way across the screen.. arg Code:
.navcontainer ul
{
margin-top: 0;
margin-left: 2;
padding-left: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px
}
.navcontainer {
margin: auto;
}
.navlist a {
width: 100%;
}
.navcontainer>.navlist a {
width: auto;
}
.navcontainer a
{
display: block;
padding: 1;
width: 165;
background-color: #003366;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}
.navcontainer a:link, .navlist a:visited
{
color: #EEE;
text-decoration: none;
}
.navcontainer a:hover
{
background-color: #369;
color: #fff;
}
i have attached the html file here.. cause i cant upload it. I'm kind of clueless right now because for my CSS code, the gap between the header and the navigation bar is completely different for Firefox than IE. I designed it in IE (which was probably a mistake in hindsight) so that's the browser it appears fine in, but in Firefox the gap is about 2-5 pixels. I've looked at all the resources online, but still can't figure out how to fix the code, so if someone could edit the code below so it works I'd be greatly thankful. Cheers. CSS Extract: Code:
#wrapper, #content-wrapper {

Hey, I'm designing using an XHTML/CSS based layout and I've noticed that the following CSS shows slightly different results on Mozilla and IE: Code: .box {
position:relative;
width:600px;
padding:5px;
border:1px solid black;
}
Applying this to a DIV will display a 600 pixel wide box on IE. On Mozilla (Firefox, etc) though, it'll be 612 pixels wide. This is because Mozilla is adding the padding and borders to the initial width. I would like Mozilla to display the same as on IE, so I recoded: Code: .box {
position:relative;
width:589px;
padding:5px;
border:1px solid black;
}
*html .box { width:600px; }
This works, although it looks a little bit like a quick hack. Is there any other way of doing this? And also, which browser, in this case, isn't following standards correctly? Thanks, Ralph What is the Difference between CSS2 and CSS3 ??? |
