CSS - Text Padding Against A Float Problem
Firstly, excuse my title, I couldn't think of a better way to put it .
Now to the problem. In my layout I have a floated object, and text that flows around it, I can pad the text away from this floated object by using margins on the floated object. But I have created a class for <p> that I want to be padded further, and if I add padding-left to p.quote (the class) it makes no difference because the padding is simply going behind the float... As rubbish as that explanation was, I expect someone will pick up on what I'm going on about. How can I have some text indented (padded) further away from the float than other ? Thanks in advance. Similar Tutorialson my site http://www.fasttracksites.com/ i have the right column set to a width that has my padding subtracted from it so that it will sit off of the left border, and off of the right side, the overall div for the center of the page is 800px and everything is based off of this, the file containing my css is http://www.fasttracksites.com/stylesheets/main.css The problem is that even though the padding is set, the right column still sits on the borders, if anyone can help me fix this, i would greatly appreciate it I'm trying to get 2 div's to be side-by-side and taking up the full width. The one on the right should be able to resize automatically to accomodate the user name ("Logged in as: ..."). The one on the left will display a random tip, which might carry over onto the next line. I tried to pad both div's for style's sake, but only the one on the right is padding in Firefox. If I float the left one to the left, then it pad's, but doesn't look right anymore. I've attached an image of the problem. The one on the top is Firefox, on the bottom is IE. As you can see, the bottom borders don't line up in Firefox because of the padding issue. Here's my code: Code: <div class="login"> <span class="text">Logged in as: <strong>USERNAME</strong> | <strong><a href="/store/index.php?logout=true">Logout</a></strong></span> </div> <div class="tip"> <span class="text"><strong>Random Tip: </strong></span> </div> And my CSS: Code:
.login {
background: #fff;
float: right;
text-align: right;
padding: 4px 10px 4px 10px;
border-left: #666666 1px dashed;
border-bottom: #666666 1px dashed;
}
.tip {
background: #fff;
height: auto;
text-align: left;
padding: 4px 10px 4px 10px;
border-bottom: #666666 1px dashed;
}
.text {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
color: #666666;
line-height: 160%;
}
Hi all, Been playing about with some CSS for a simple e-comm site. Mockup here. There seems to be a few issues though between IE/FF. Thats all I've been able to test on so far though. The site validates properly as far as I can tell so that doesn't seem to be a problem. In Firefox, the left hand bottom sidebox overflows the page (the footer doesn't go below it). In IE it seems to be fine. In IE, the padding on the right hand side of the main content header box is not the same as the left side. Also, the main left bullet list is royally arsed up. At the moment, I can't spot any more issues than that. As I continue development and start to add more features, then I will probably crop up with more issues. The HTML for the site is here. The CSS for the site is here. Suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated. Cheers, Computer Hey all... I'm doing some testing in Firefox, and I've encountered a problem. Code: <div style="background-color: #FF9801; height: 33px; width: 99px; text-align: center; display: inline; padding-top: 8px;">Help</div> My intention here is to create a box that is 99px high, 33px wide, and with the text in the middle. In IE6, this appears to be fine. However, when testing it out in FF, I don't get the spacing that I want. Here's the kicker: When I add the float element, (float: left), it comes out the way I want it to. But it does seem to add a bit of whitespace above and to the left of it. I don't want the whitespace! Can anyone help with a compromise that will work in both browsers? My CSS usage has been pretty light until up to this issue. Thanks in advance! Seems a simple question, but how do I add padding to text within a box but not affect the images? in my columns I have little 'features' but I have a title above each image and some description text below. What's the simplest way to code it so all the text has side padding, but not the image? Okay, another simple problem, but every solution I find on the internet does not work. I need to add padding to a <p> element, so I have this in my CSS: Code: .p{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
font-color:#000000;
float: left;
margin-left:5px;
padding: 5px;
}
any help is appreciated. -S Hi, I have this page: Code:

And have two questions. First, why the gap between the left div and mainDiv in IE? I thought 3px bug was only for block elements with no dimensions? Second, why does padding left not take effect in FF untill I have overcome the width of the float? Even padding-left in the para does not take effect, which should be based off of its parent. Any help is appriciated, CJB What is the CSS property for valign-center for the vspace-like padding for the text? Hi! How does padding and margin on text and images behave? And on other inline elements? Didn't get it to work in IE6. Thank you I have a row of icons (for navigation, with a text description underneath them) I am trying to break out of table design so I want these divs aligned next to each other, with the image/text centered. Everything looks pretty peachy... but in FF the text such as "Candidates" underneath the icon floats to the left because of the parent float.. it ignores the text-align: center. In other browsers it works but not in FF any help? Also if anyone has a better way of writing this code I would be open to suggestions since I am slowly breaking away from table design. Thanks! Code:
.main #header {
background: #FFFFFF;
padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
.icon_nav{

float: left;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 12px;
border: 1px solid black;
}

I posted something the other day, but that thread was elaborate but not helpful at all, because it missed a useful example with CSS sheet and everything. So here's another attempt and hopefully people know where the problem resides. I've stripped down the following page as far as I could within limited time. Before you click and open this URL, I think it's best to read my introduction first, because the problem often only occurs the first time after opening IE5.5 or IE6.0. With IE6.0 it might be that it _does_ work for you now. I notice that the bug is very infrequent with IE6.0. Sometimes it feels like IE6.0 cached the right page and doesn't want to show the wrong page the first time anymore. With IE5.5 it's still consistent on first time though... it will show the bug! A refresh may fix the page. Which is basically like opening the page a second time. http://www.stack.nl/~rem/problem.html It's a page with 3 big sections: header, middle, footer. I've stripped the footer as far as possible and reduced the header. The footer stays at the bottom of the window/viewport or bottom of the page if the page is longer and requires scrolling. What problem to look for? The news section to the right, it should have 2 identical blocks (in this example). But it cuts off the second block entirely and cuts the end of the first one. Basically where the form ends on the left side. On reload of the page the error will be "fixed". By accident I stumbled upon this thread (<- link) where they also seem to discuss the cut off of contents when the regular body text is shorter than the float text. Though for me the problem only appears on the page with the form and not with other pages. They couldn't figure out the trigger or cause either and the thread stopped in 2002. I'm trying that <p></p><p></p> workaround... If anybody knows some other workarounds or knows what triggers this problem. Feel free and invited to post any suggestion that can solve this matter. Adding more contents text is no option alas. this is kind of a crude copy/paste of my current code, but it shows the problem. Code:

okay I don't know why my text will not wrap in any of my "float:rights" My quicklink section I don't care about as much as the feature student section I'm building. The text spills out of the paragrah block and keeps running. http://www.mgan.net/form-honors/main(2).htm Any thoughts on how to fix it or a link to a site that would explain it's just as good When i float my div to the left, i cant seem to get the text to align right, can someone show me a way out of this horriable predicament i have found my self in!! Hello, I'm new to css layouts. I had to float:left every element so the heights stretch problem is if the image in "page_c_left" is wider than 45% then "page_c_right" will automatically go on the next line. (in Firefox, IE seems to wrap the text without moving the element). also, i wanted to have the content displayed first for non-css browsers, but the examples used position:absolute. when the impression i got was that float is preferable to position. i'm very confused on which method to use for layouts. what method would you use for complex css layouts? float, position or other? this is code with the text wrap problem Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

if you could help, thank you The line "between" the columns is actually a background image in the second column. I'd like to reduce the area between the top of the text and the top of the div (so the text is about even with the line). I've tried setting the padding to 0, but that has no effect. Any ideas? Code: #inner_wrap_2_col {
margin:0 auto;
width:690px;
}
#news_col_left {
float:left;
width:345px;
color: #330;
line-height: 1.5em;
padding: 0;
}
#news_col_right {
float:right;
width:345px;
color: #330;
line-height: 1.5em;
background:url("./images/news_bg.gif");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
I'm using the following code. I'd like the DIV that surounds the up / down images to more tightly wrap the images (there is too much space between the top and bottom border and the images). I'm having trouble understanding how to accomplish this. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>

Heyhey Probably a very simple solution to this, but I just can't find it. Nesting DIVs and adding padding to the parent, so I can position the DIV within. I'm subtracting the amount of padding I am using from the width and height so that everything else around it will fit ok. Works fine in all browsers, apart from IE 5.5, which ignores the padding (thus making the div too small because of the subtracting of width and height from the parent DIV). Sample code: #holdera { background:url(images/header_banner_a.png) no-repeat; width:80px; height:57px; padding-top:25px; padding-left:80px; float:left; } #buttona { width:62px; height:27px; } I could use margins on the inner DIV instead, but that brings up a problem with Netscape. The DIV positions shift because of no padding on the parent. Real pain, anybody have any suggestions? Cheers 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 Im running IE6 and its on an Intranet so for the moment Im only keen on getting it to work in IE5/6. I have got the following HTML and CSS. When I remove the CSS 'display: block; padding-bottom: 0px;' the links list views fine, but when I include it, the list spaces right out and I can't control the level of padding. Its really weird.. Im pretty sure this is where the error is but Im not exactly sure what it is.. I have not had problems in the past implementing a display type of BLOCK before, so not sure what is doing it now... Any ideas would be great... Can post the whole template and assets if that helps... Code:
